Information on data

Eurostat’s data are published with accompanying metadata that provide background information on each source, as well as specific information (flags) for individual data cells. The flags provide information relating to the status of the data, for example, detailing whether the data are estimated, provisional or forecasted. These flags are generally not shown in this online publication (in order to restrict the metadata shown under figures and maps to a minimum). Some cells may be flagged as confidential and these are simply shown as being ‘not available’; as such, they cannot be distinguished from other values where data have not been provided (for whatever reason). Other methodological differences, such as breaks in series or different definitions, have been footnoted appropriately. The static data presentations and the accompanying text were finalised during December 2022 and reflect the data situation at that moment in time.

The dynamic visualisations in this online publication are generally linked directly to the online database for the reference year(s) mentioned in the title of each visualisation. As their data feed is live, the information presented may change over time, as new or revised data may be added to each dataset. These dynamic visualisations also provide information relating to flags for individual data cells (when applicable).

Explanation of flags:

c: confidential

e: estimated

p: provisional

u: low reliability

Users who want more information concerning metadata should click on the relevant links given as part of the source under each visualisation. Once the database opens, there is an icon in the top-right corner that provides ‘explanatory texts’ for metadata. If you have questions on the data, please contact: Eurostat user support.
