• What are the experiences to date? How are individual entities taking the UN-SWAP and
embedding it into their own work? (...)

Following this, the floor will be open for a dialogue with the Council, and representatives of UN entities.

wheel pressure corresponding to an axle load of a fork lift truck of 2,730 kg.
Such an axle load is usually found at fork lift trucks with a lifting capacity
