There is

Forest (HCVF)” |
The
reference to high conservation value forests has been deleted. |
|
|
|
The report
refers only to the FSC scheme and does not mention PEFC. |
The report
has been edited so that it avoids referring to any individual certification
scheme. |

Provided
statistics refer only to FSC certification and areas certified under PEFC are
not mentioned. |
The
certification statistics in the report will be complemented by figures
provided by CEPF/PEFC council, while also noting that PEFC is being expanded
to cover areas also outside Europe. |
