Note from the Secretariat: An effort has been made to present all country
profiles within a common format, with an equal number of pages. However,
where Governments have not provided information for the tables appended to
Chapters 4 and 17, those tables have been omitted entirely in order to
reduce the overall length of the profile and save paper. Consequently,
there may be some minor inconsistencies among the formats of the different
country profiles.
All statistics are rendered as provided by the respective Governments.
