As this publication mostly consists of statistics for each member

association, it has not been translated into other languages.

However, on the following three pages you will find samples

containing the Spanish, French and German translation of each

section of the questionnaire.

Debido a que esta publicación está compuesta en su mayoría por

estadísticas de cada asociación miembro, no ha sido traducida

a otros idiomas.

No obstante, en las tres páginas siguientes, encontrará la traducción

en español, francés y alemán de cada sección del cuestionario.

Cette publication ne présentant pour l’essentiel que les données

statistiques de chaque association membre, elle n’a pas été

traduite dans d’autres langues.

Vous trouverez toutefois sur les trois pages suivantes la traduction

en français, allemand et espagnol, de chaque section du

questionnaire.

Da diese Publikation mehrheitlich statistische Daten jedes

Mitgliedsverbands enthält, wurde sie nicht übersetzt.

Auf den folgenden drei Seiten finden Sie jedoch die deutsche,

französische und spanische Übersetzung der in den Datenblättern

abgedeckten Themen.
