However, some relevant aspects will be dealt with under other items of the agenda. There are a number of other aspects and questions, which the secretariat would wish to draw to the attention of delegates. These are listed below. Thus if the topic of further processed products is considered important enough to merit increased attention, delegates should either suggest topics to drop from the programme, or work methods which make little use of secretariat resources. It appears there is a certain ambiguity about what should be included under the heading of sawnwood .
Wood flooring is excluded.
With few exceptions, sawnwood exceeds 5 mm in thickness. Under production , the quantity should include production from both domestic and imported roundwood. However, in some countries data are only provided for unplaned sawnwood, not finished in any way. Where data are collected separately for planed and unplaned sawnwood, there is a risk of double counting or omission in the international data set. It is intended to continue this process, and to integrate the two sites more closely, so that Geneva can have more direct input to the FAO database for ECE countries.
