The information provided in the database is primarily based on FAOLEX. Other sources of information have also been consulted, like regional and national legal databases. To the extent possible, the information has been validated by national authorities.

Despite the efforts to obtain the latest versions of the legal instruments, it is difficult to ensure that all the information in the database is up to date. This is due to a variety of reasons including the fact that consulted sources may not have been updated and legal instruments are frequently amended, repealed or adopted. The incorporation of these changes is part of the periodical maintenance of the database. In this respect, we are interested in receiving your feedback in order to strengthen the database.
