Data description 

NewCronos  is the former name for the Eurostat Dissemination Database .

This page only describes access to New Cronos data on CD-rom  to 2003.

To access Eurostat data to 2010, go to this Eurostat data page .

Start-dates of series vary by accession date and availability of data.

NewCronos  contains macroeconomic and social statistical data covering the member states of the EC/EU and, for selected series; Japan, the United States and other external economic partners.

The data is monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, depending on the statistical theme.

The start-year varies depending on accession and availability factors.

New Cronos is subdivided into domains, each covering a specific statistical theme. Each domain is identified by an alphanumeric code and structured in collections giving economic and social indicators.

The data within a collection are structured in multidimensional tables where the dimensions specify the country, the economic and social variable, the unit and the frequency. More information on the contents of New Cronos and on the composition of the multidimensional tables may be found in the classification plans which are available on the server.

 

The New Cronos database has 6 levels.
