Dear Heikki Laaksamo,
thank you for the information.
I just tried to give an additional information on the matter by simply comparing the content of UN/CEFACT list with ISO country code as published in its site (and built with UN representatives official support) that should be the official source for such codes. Probably UN/CEFACT has the role to define a subset of ISO CC to be used, but it is a fact that their list is not up-to-dated and UBL TC is not in the position to take a decision that can go beyond technical matters nor creating an additional source of information.
A solution could be to stay with the UN/CEFACT list giving the advice that other CC has been officially assigned (citing the official source)?
Best regards,
Andrea Caccia

> You mentioned Åland Islands in your lists of the country codes missing from the UN country code list. Åland Islands is not a country but a province and a part of Finland. Although it has its autonomy it belongs to Finland. I think the same case is with Isle of Man and Jersey. I hope that you don't add that kind of areas in the country list because it can only cause confuse.
