In recent years Eurostat has significantly expanded the range of integrated quarterly data on government finances available, providing a timely and increasingly high quality picture of the evolution of government finances in the European Union (EU). The data presented in this article reflect both non-financial and financial (quarterly non-financial and financial accounts for general government) transactions and cover all European Union (EU-27) countries.
This article is based on data transmitted to Eurostat at the end of March and during April 2013 and includes data coverage of all four quarters quarters of 2012. It is supplemented by seasonally adjusted data estimated provided on a voluntary basis by EU and EFTA countries. Eurostat regularly publishes seasonally adjusted and working day adjusted quarterly data on government revenue, expenditure and surplus (+)/ deficit (-), currently for twelve Member States and the EU aggregates.

The data in this article show the most recent annual rates of change for the euro area headline inflation and its four main components issued by Eurostat. The figures presented are actual HICP figures. Mehr ...
Living standards, as measured by the median equivalised disposable income, fell in 15 Member States in 2010 compared with a year earlier, after adjusting for inflation. In the vast majority of Member States the median income fell most for the unemployed and least for people in employment. Mehr ...
This article focuses on the short-term evolutions in the nights spent at tourist accommodation establishments in the European Union (EU). The data for the most recent reference month available are compared with the same month of the previous year, in addition - and to smoothen fluctuations - data for a three months' period are compared with the same period one year earlier.

Biodiversity – a contraction of biological diversity – encompasses the number, variety and variability of living organisms, including mankind. Preventing a loss of biodiversity is important for mankind, given that humans depend on the natural richness of the planet for the food, energy, raw materials, clean air and clean water that make life possible and drive economies and societies. As such, a reduction or loss of biodiversity may not only undermine the natural environment but also economic and social goals. The challenges associated with preserving biodiversity have made this topic an international issue. This article examines two indicators for biodiversity in the European Union (EU) – namely, information on protected areas and bird populations.
Main statistical findings
Habitats
Areas protected for the preservation of biodiversity are proposed by the Member States under the EU's Habitats Directive; they are indicated as a percentage of the total area of each country. About 14 % of the EU-27’s territory was proposed for protection under the Habitats Directive as of 2010. Additional areas were proposed for protection under the Birds Directive. Since there is some overlap between the two types of protected areas, the joint area for both Directives is estimated to amount to approximately 18 % of the EU-27's total terrestrial area. Figures for the Member States show that areas protected under the Habitats Directive range between 31 % of the total terrestrial area of Slovenia and 30 % of that in Bulgaria to less than 10 % in France, the Netherlands, Denmark or the United Kingdom. In general, these protected areas adequately cover the biogeographical regions present in the Member States, with an EU-27 average of 89 % of sufficiently covered species and habitats in 2010; using this measure, only Cyprus reported less than 50 % sufficiency – see Figure 1.
