Questionnaire FOREST PRODUCTS CONVERSION FACTORS Please list the name of your country here If these data are only representative of a particular segment of a country, please specify Correspondents name, institute Deadline: 15 September 2016 Note: The data on conversion factors are to be filled in directly in the data tables (blue text) for the eight categories of factors. The black text is the explanatory text taken from the last UNECE/FAO Forest Products Conversion Factors publication (ECE/TIM/DP/491).There are eight sections of this questionnaire, each with a table for entering your conversion factors. The most important factors are in rows marked in green on the left, please prioritise these. Correspondents are encouraged to read the explanatory text prior to entering factors in each section. The questionnaire is pre-filled with the data from ECE/TIM/DP/49. If data on your country from this study is already present, please feel free to overwrite the old figures for your country with any updated figures and to fill in any fields which were previously blank. The questionnaire was developed by the UNECE/FAO Conversion Factors Task Force in 2008 and every attempt was made to include factors that the Task Force thought were important, however, if something important is missing, please feel free to write it into the questionnaire in the relevant section. Please feel free to contact the project coordinator (Matt Fonseca) at the UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section if you have any questions or need assistance with interpreting questions: Email: [email protected] Phone: +41.22.917.1846 1 ECE/TIM/DP/49, Forest Products Conversion Factors for the UNECE Region can be downloaded at: http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/timber/publications/DP-49.pdf ii ____________________________________________________________Forest products conversion factors questionnaire 2016 C O N T E N T S (Questionnaire tables are highlighted in yellow) Page List of Abreviations .......................................................................................................................................................... iii INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................................................... 1 1.
