Notes: Between and within contributions to total variance are based on uneweighted averages by zone, while the Theil index is based on weighted averages
(including the EU-28 weighted average). Some missing values in the beginning of the period were kept constant for the calculation of dispersion and averages:
BG, CY, EE, HR, MT (1995-99), LV (1995-98), LT (1995-97), PL, RO (1995-96), HU, SI (1995), AT (1990-93), DE (1990), EL (1990-97).
