FAO endeavours to ensure, through consultation and verification process, the accuracy of the information contained in the NALO fact sheets. However, certain NALO fact sheets have been published on the basis that the information contained therein will be corrected if need be at the request of the competent national authorities. NALO fact sheets are updated on a regular basis, every 2/3 years.
