Letters after a figure come from Eurostat: e = estimated, p = provisional, d = definition differs, b = break in series. Husfarm leaves out zero values and figures that differ from the rest of a series by a factor of four or more, which points to a different unit or definition. Charts and five-year changes start after the latest break in a series.
