Methods and definitions

The index of industrial production measures the evolution of the volume of production for industry excluding construction,
based on data adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects.
Seasonally adjusted euro area and EU series are calculated by aggregating the seasonally adjusted national data. Eurostat
carries out the seasonal adjustment of the data for those countries that do not adjust their data for seasonal effects.
Total industry covers NACE rev.2 sections B to D.
Missing observations from Member States for recent months are estimated for the calculation of the euro area and the EU
aggregates.

Revisions and timetable

Compared with data issued in the News Release 31/2016 of 12 February 2016, the monthly percentage change for December
2015 have been revised from -1.0% to -0.5% in the euro area and from -1.0% to -0.6% in the EU28. The annual percentage
changes have been revised from -1.3% to -0.1% in the euro area and from -0.8% to +0.2% in the EU28.
