11.3 Analysis and processing of national data

11.3.1 Estimation and forecasting

The most recent data on Wood removals go back to 1999: they were considered valid and used to estimate the wood removals for 2000. Since no average could be calculated for the 2000, and in order to be consistent, the 1990 data was used directly without calculating the average between the wood removal values of 1988-1992, as was recommended by the guidelines.

Insufficient data: the forecasting was not carried out because future trends could not be estimated.
