Methodology for obtaining data	For countries with overseas territories under their jurisdiction, the ISO3 country code maybe different from the parent country code. (e.g. GLP for Guadeloupe and FRA for France. This distinction is made for easy integration in the World database on the one hand and easy administration on the other hand. In this way, countries are contacted only once for information about designated areas within the whole geographical area under their jurisdiction. In most countries the ISO3 and PARENT_ISO codes are identical.
