The main objective of this terminology is to promote sub-contracting at both national and international level by offering industry in general and small firms in particular a harmonized nomenclature enabling them to describe their sub-contracting activities in nine different languages.

It includes definitions of the categories of product, production machinery and main- contractor's products with the equivalents in the other languages covered.

This terminology is a useful multilingual technical guide lor sub-contractors and main-contractors who wish to establish contact. It can also serve as a basic classification for any organization interested in a systematic catalogue ol the sub-contracting sector.

The terminology is sub-divided into lour parts: Part A: Nomenclature o[ sub-contract products Part A is an eight-chapter catalogue of categ,ories o[ product offered by sub-contractors which can be used to describe the products manufactured by a given sub-contractor and the degree ol technical complexity which the sub-contractor can.offer.

Part B: This part, likewise divided into eight chapters, is a survey of operations and production machinery used in the sub-contracting sector. It gives some idea ol the characteristics olthe basic material used, the production methods available and the degree of precision which sub-contractors can offer.

Part C: Nomenclature ol main contractor's products This part is based on the common Nomenclature o[ Industrial Products (NIpRo) published by the Statistical Office of the European Communities. It lists the products manulactured by main contractors and identifies the sectors in which a firm has carried out sub-contracting work in the past.

Part D: Company file card

The company file card sums up all the information given in parts A, B and C in a readily-intelligible form designed to allow a choice to be made of the sub-contractors best equipped to carry out a given order. What is more, it gives an idea of the sub-contractor's capabilities, production machinery and experience.

VOODLANDS OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY

This unique map of Europe's woodlands shows, in green of course, all the woodlands of the Community right down to local level.

The implicir message behind rhis map is rhar Europe's woodland musl be preserued.

There are 165 million hectares of woodland in the Community covering one-fifth of ia total area. At first sight this is a reassuring fact, bur the situation varies a-great deal from one country to another.

There is an inset on the map containing a large number of diagrams giving statisrics for each Member State and for the community as a whole, together-*itli comparisons between the Community and the other main wood-producing countries of the world.
