Part I - Introduction

Rationale - Policy influence

-by Mr. Reidar Persson

• Policy influence of the NFA and how the policies in countries affect the NFA-process should be included. If there is a need to split this chapter, it will be revised later in the process.
• Politicians¿ interest in solid data and expert estimations should be discussed.
• NFA should have a cost benefit analysis, and the level of ambition will be related to the capacity to do continuously implement.
• Investments opportunities.
• Questions to be discussed: Why have things not changed, for example, important information is still missing and existing information is not used? What more information is needed and what should NFA avoid?

Alternative scopes

-by Mr. Peter Holmgren

• The question 'what information is needed for what purpose' will be discussed and later in the document there will be the technical aspect.
• Alternative approaches ('full cover' vs. sampling) which will lead into the base scenario for the reference.
• Capacity building.
• Aggregation of data and the implications according to different schemes.
• Reliability and credibility will be discussed.
