GENERAL NOTES
This four-page statistical annex complements the Country Factsheet with relevant
migration-related data organised in nine thematic sections. The dashboard-like
layout of the annex allows comparability across countries as well as simultaneous
visualisation of different indicators.
Whenever data is not available, the relative chart is left blank or indicated with 'N/A'.
Data are provided for the latest available year or the latest available four-year
period.
The sum of percentages or of individual values might not add up to 100 or to the
total value. This is due to rounding and confidence intervals in the original data.
A How to Read guide, describing each chart and reporting the sources, is available
on the EMN website.
