Missing observations from Member States for recent months are estimated for the calculation of the euro area and the EU.

Annex: New base year introduced in short-term business statistics

In order to reflect changes in the structure of the economy, and starting with the publication of data for the reference month January 2013, the base year for all short-term business statistics (STS) indices has been updated from 2005 to 2010. The individual Member States' shares in the euro area and the EU can be found in the table below.

More information on the reasons for and the effects of the base year change can be found under:

http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Short-term_business_statistics_-_base_year_2010

Full detail and historical time series according to the new base year are available under:
