  16. How to deal with the qualitative indicators….: Part A. Overall policy approaches (institutions/ instruments for SFM Part B. Policies, institutions and instruments by policy areas Coordination with the global level data specification (FRA 2005) – e.g. data on “naturalness”/ characteristics of forests… Technical issues/ questions(3)

  17.
