Data for the 2005–2007 period are recalculated according to the new classification of activities and therefore of lower quality. Backcasting was implemented at micro level, which means assigning a new activity code (in terms of the new classification) to each unit and for every period and recalculating in order to have the series expressed in terms of the new classification.
