The geographical scope of this database is the EU, processed as aggregate and at individual EU Member state level. Since the data refers to the period 2008 to 2019, two aggregates are considered: "EU-27 (2020)" (current EU Members as from 1st February 2020) and "EU-28" (referring to the EU Members between 1st July 2013 and 31st January 2020). Please note that EU-28 includes Croatia also for data before 2013.
