Data correction to create EU27 trend:
Latvia: data from old E-PRTR used due to some issues with the mapping of old entities
Slovakia: data from 2017 used to gap fill 2018-2021 due to missing reporting
Malta and Lithuania: data from 2019 used to gap fill 2020-2021 due to missing reporting
Czechia: data from 2020 used to gap fill 2021 due to missing reporting
Netherlands: correction of NO_x due to an outlier checked and verified with the country
