Dear Ms. Idris
Please refer to your e-mail dated 18 oct. 2005 inform
member countries to prepare Wood Based Product (WBP) : comparative study
Hence Thailand has only voluntary standard for WBP: then
how can we complete the comparative study format that you have sent to all
member countries
I am looking forward to hearing from you

Thank you and Regards.
