15.2.2 Classification and definitions

The National data coming from the ISTAT estimates were partial and only included Wood removal workers having a seasonal contract with the forestry Companies. For this reason, data coming from MCPFE Report, referring to the EUROSTAT database, were used as main source of information.

The definitions of the forestry activities come from the ISIC, section A, division 02: Forestry logging and related service activities.

The ISIC definition covers the production of standing timber as well as the extraction and gathering of wild growing forest materials except for mushrooms, truffles, berries and nuts. Besides the production of timber, it also takes into account those products that undergo some sort of processing, such as wood for fuel or industrial use.
