ANNEX 6A. TIMESCALE OF IMPACTS OF ENERGY SECTOR REFORM ON FORESTS AND FOREST INDUSTRIES The table below illustrates different timescales of the impacts of energy sector reform on forests and forest industries. Although numerous policy objectives have short-term impacts, an equal number have medium-term impacts. This underscores the need to have an effective model for predicting these outcomes and monitoring them. A point that does not appear in the table is that any matrix of this kind would need criteria for weighting the importance of the links to provide comparable information. Policy Area C: Energy Impact on the forest and forest industries sector Policy instrument/ (particularly on the supply Scale of impact a Policy objective linkage and demand of wood) Timescale b Supply Demand 1.

This is intended to show the possible extent of impact on wood supply and demand should policy be changed from its present direction. b. This column is intended to show how soon after a policy change has been initiated an impact might begin to take effect: S = within 5 years; M = within 15 years; L = not before 15 years.
