Footnotes:

Calendar corrected and seasonally adjusted values.
The percentage change is based on calendar corrected and seasonally adjusted values.
The percentage change is based on values that are calendar corrected but not seasonally adjusted.
April 2005 the EU-harmonised Labour Force Survey (LFS) was introduced. This caused a break in comparability over time. The changes also make it impossible to produce seasonally adjusted data which are needed to calculate the "change in % from previous period". "Change in % to corresponding period previous year" is based on data from the new LFS and on linked data for 2004.
Trend value
The percentage change is based on the trend value.
The aim is to exclude temporary effects on the CPI that normally have little or no significance on monetary policy. Household mortgage interest expenditure and the effects of changes in indirect taxes and subsidies are excluded from the CPI.

Household mortgage interest expenditure, goods that are mainly imported and the effects of changes in indirect taxes and subsidies that relate to domestically produced goods and services are excluded from the CPI.
Only the percentage change is available.
The percentage change is based on values that have not been calendar corrected nor seasonally adjusted. The labour market crisis during the 1990s primarily affected young persons aged between 16-24.
