For methodology, see News Release 38/2000 of 23 March 2000 and for the currently used weights, see News Release 68/2003 of 17 June 2003. 2. Euro-zone: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland. 3. Data of previous months have been revised compared to those issued in the News Release 64/2005 of 19 May 2005. The figures for March 2005 were -0.2% in the euro-zone and -0.3% in the Eu25 for the monthly changes, and -0.1% in the euro-zone and -0.5% in the Eu25 for the yearly changes. 4. Total industry (excluding construction). According to the Council Regulation 1165/98 Eurostat publishes national seasonally adjusted data if available. For the other Member States (the Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Latvia and Luxembourg) Eurostat performs the adjustment. This means that different methodologies are used to make the seasonal adjustment of the national series. The seasonally adjusted euro-zone, Eu25 and Eu15 series are calculated by aggregating the working day adjusted series from individual Member States and performing an adjustment for seasonal effects on these series. Therefore the seasonally adjusted figures for total industry (excluding construction) is based directly on the working day adjusted series coming from the Member States and not on an aggregation of the seasonally adjusted indices from the Member States. The euro-zone, Eu25 and Eu15 seasonally adjusted growth rates might differ from the weighted growth rates of the individual Member States (see Methodology of the industrial production index). This procedure also implies that the aggregation of the overall figures is not based on the published details (intermediate, capital, durable, non-durable goods, energy).
