Several forest related EU policy instruments have set forest relevant quantitative or qualitative targets. We identify the forest relevant targets in current EU policy instruments, and examine whether the pan-European Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management (Forest Europe, 2015a) are sufficient to satisfy the information needs of EU policy makers when monitoring progress towards these targets. We apply a computer-based quantitative analysis of forest related EU policy instruments, using key words.

In the policy instruments we analysed, forest relevant targets are completely integrated with targets for other sectors in a wider context. Relatively few of the identified forest relevant targets are quantitative; qualitative targets are predominant. In our analysis we show that the pan-European Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management, as they stand, would require adjustments to several of the indicators to provide information on progress towards the identified forest relevant quantitative and qualitative targets.

Our results can contribute to reporting on progress towards forest-relevant targets in EU forest related policies, notably by identifying what parameters could be measured and might facilitate forest related target setting in revisions and development of policy instruments, particularly the revision of the EU Forest Strategy.

几种与森林有关的欧盟政策工具已经设定了与森林有关的定量或定性目标。我们在当前的欧盟政策工具中确定了与森林相关的目标，并检查了泛欧可持续森林管理标准和指标（Forest Europe，2015a）是否足以满足欧盟决策者在监测这些目标进展方面的信息需求。我们使用关键词对与森林有关的欧盟政策工具进行了基于计算机的定量分析。

在我们分析的政策工具中，与森林相关的目标与其他部门的目标在更广泛的范围内完全整合在一起。相对较少的已确定的森林相关目标是量化的；定性目标是主要的。在我们的分析中，我们表明，就目前而言，泛欧可持续森林管理标准和指标将需要对若干指标进行调整，以提供有关已确定的与森林相关的定量和定性目标方面的进展的信息。

我们的结果可有助于报告欧盟森林相关政策中与森林相关目标的进展情况，特别是通过确定可以测量的参数，并可能有助于在修订和制定政策工具（尤其是修订《欧盟森林战略》）中确定与森林有关的目标。
