3 Overview The UNECE/FAO Team of Specialists on Forest Products Markets and Marketing conducted a survey of the UNECE/FAO Timber Branch s s market-related related outputs in March 2005, at the request of the FAO/UNECE Working Party on Forest Economics and Statistics, and in fulfillment of one of its mandate items.

4 Mandate Item Objectives 1. Evaluate all market-related related outputs to enable a sound basis for decision on their content, timing and quality level. 2. Facilitate a Timber Branch stakeholder analysis. 3. Measure selected achievements of the UNECE/FAO Forest Products Marketing Programme.

5 Methodology The Team drafted the survey to include all market-related related outputs, including publications, UNECE Timber Committee Market Discussions, and the Timber Committee/European Forestry Commission Website. Preceded by a pre-notification message, the survey was sent by e to the Timber Branch s s entire contact database (approximately 1,300 e addresses), followed by a reminder notice. Survey allowed respondents to find more information via web links and to skip questions for unfamiliar outputs.
