In this paper we study the parameterized complexity of approximating the parameterized counting problems contained in the class #W[P], the parameterized analogue of #P. We prove a parameterized analogue of a famous theorem of Stockmeyer claiming that approximate counting belongs to the second level of the polynomial hierarchy.
