The method used is in accordance with:The method used is in accordance with:
- the - the Fellow up Committee recommendationsFellow up Committee recommendations for applying the S2 Resolution for applying the S2 Resolution , Strasbourg , Strasbourg (1990)(1990), and, and
- Minimum species requirements - Minimum species requirements recommended by EUFORGEN networksrecommended by EUFORGEN networks

ESTABLISHMENT OFESTABLISHMENT OF FGR FGR ::
