- Latest update of text: June 2014. Planned article update: June 2015.
The online-only publication Europe in figures - Eurostat yearbook presents a comprehensive selection of statistical data on Europe. It may be viewed as an introduction to European statistics; it provides essential reading for those wishing to discover the vast range of data that is freely available on Eurostat’s website at: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat.
Formats and language versions
As of 2013 the Eurostat yearbook is no longer available as a printed or PDF publication. In order to present the latest data the yearbook is made available on Statistics Explained (part of Eurostat’s website), as the online Eurostat yearbook. It is translated once a year into German and French. During the course of the year the online English yearbook is gradually updated, therefore the online German and French yearbooks are sometimes not as up-to-date as the English one. Translations for the 2013 edition were made available on Statistics Explained during October 2013. The three language versions of the online Eurostat yearbook are accessible through these short URLs: http://bit.ly/Eurostat_yearbook, http://bit.ly/Eurostat-Jahrbuch, and http://bit.ly/Annuaire_Eurostat.
Temporal, spatial and thematic coverage
Most data in the Eurostat yearbook cover the latest available decade (eleven values), for example from 2002 to 2012. Statistics are presented for the European Union (EU), the euro area (EA) and individual EU Member States, while some indicators are also provided for non-member countries, such as the EFTA member states and candidate countries to the EU, China, Japan and the United States (subject to availability).
With around 500 statistical tables, figures and maps, the Eurostat yearbook covers the following areas: population; living conditions; health; education and training; the labour market; economy and finance; international trade; agriculture, forestry and fisheries; industry and services; reserch and communication; the environment; energy; and transport.
