* Reporting units that have experienced change of national boundaries between FRA 1990 and FRA 2000 (refer to table b below).

** Countries that were not encompassed by FRA 1990 hence no comparison possible

Causes of difference between Area90_FRA1990 and Area90_FRA2000

1. Improved reclassification of National Classes for FRA 2000

2. Changes in definitions of FRA classes between FRA 1990 and FRA 2000

3. FRA 2000 estimates based on improved country data

4. FRA 2000 estimates based on secondary source information

5. FRA 1990 and FRA 2000 data sets comparable (same source documents)
