align annual figures from the EEW with this new one
unemployment rates have improved the weighting. This
means that all quarterly and annual figures based on the EEW from 2001 onwards
have been revised. The years prior to 2001 have not been revised and concern the
previously published figures. For the tables on the registered
unemployment means this new method that it is no longer possible to
publish monthly figures based on three-month averages such as:
