How to use the navigation tree

By default, the database is shown in the form of a tree in which datasets are held in folders and subfolders. The navigation tree consists of four main sections:

• detailed datasets: contains all data publicly available from Eurostat. They are presented in so-called multi-dimensional datasets.
• selected datasets: pre-defined datasets holding a section of a larger detailed dataset.
• EU polices: holds datasets organised according to specific EU policies.
• cross cutting topics: offers a selection of statistical topics that are obtained from multiple data sources and collections.

Users can navigate through the tree by expanding or collapsing folders and sub-folders in order to quickly identify relevant datasets:
