Eurostat yearbook 2004. The statistical guide to Europe – data 1992-2002

The Eurostat Yearbook is Eurostat's Statistical Compendium - it reports figures on the European Union and its Member States, the Euro-zone, the European Economic Area and other global key players. Most time series cover the last decade. It provides a good understanding of all topics on which Eurostat has statistical data available. The data are presented together with help for interpretation (explanatory texts, graphs, a glossary, an abbreviation list); they are structured in a logical and user-friendly way. All data can easily be extracted from the accompanying CD-ROM for use in spreadsheet applications as well as graphs.

The Eurostat Yearbook contains all Structural Indicators the European Commission and national governments have agreed to use to evaluate progress in the European Union. All of its data are harmonized to be a reference to compare Europe. The seven chapters of the Eurostat Yearbook 2004 can also be downloaded individually.
