Database

Detailed datasets contains all data publicly available from Eurostat. They are presented in so-called multi-dimensional datasets.

Selected datasets offers a selection of Eurostat data offering less indicators and variables than the detailed datasets. Data are presented in 2 or 3 dimensional tables.

Both branches are organised according to 9 statistical themes.

EU policies presents datasets organised according to specific EU policies. 

Cross-cutting offers a selection of statistical topics that are obtained from different data sources and collections.

All datasets can be customised and downloaded in different formats.
