Metadata

Methodology:: The methodology for the calculation of DMI / DMC was revised by Eurostat in 2007. In this figure, the data are calculated after the revised methodology from 2000 on. For the DMC Data before 2000: EU15: IFF database, EU12: WI database. Therefore, the data set compromises the consistency in order to provide an extended temporal coverage.
