The tables show information for the EU, the euro area, the EU
Member States and three EFTA countries. The euro area (EA-17) is
composed of: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain,
France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria,
Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland. The EU (EU-27) includes
the EA-17 countries and also: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark,
Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the United
Kingdom. The three EFTA countries covered are: Iceland, Norway
and Switzerland.
The information presented in this short guide is generally based
on fixed EU and euro area aggregates for 27 and 17 Member States
respectively – however, the data for inflation is based on moving
aggregates that reflect the membership of the EU and euro area over
time. Quarterly growth rates are expressed in relation to the previous
quarter. Quarterly rates are generally calculated using seasonally
adjusted data, although rates for the public balance, government debt
and long-term unemployment are based on non seasonally adjusted
data. Furthermore, annual rates of change for inflation are also based
on non seasonally adjusted data.
