and by 0.1% in the EU25. In both zones the energy sector gained 0.1%, while intermediate goods remained
unchanged. Durable consumer goods declined by 0.7% in the euro-zone and by 0.8% in the EU25. Capital goods
decreased by 1.5% and 1.1% respectively.
In November 2004, and among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production rose in
fourteen Member States and fell in seven. The highest increases were registered in Portugal (+5.6%), Greece
(+3.6%), Spain (+2.5%) and Slovenia (+1.8%), while the largest decreases were recorded in Ireland (-6.3%),
Sweden (-2.8%), Estonia (-2.2%) and Finland (-1.9%).
Annual comparison

the EU25. Intermediate goods gained 0.8% and 1.2% respectively. Capital goods increased by 0.7% in the eurozone and by 1.9% in the EU25. Non-durable consumer goods rose by 0.3% and by 0.1% respectively. Durable
consumer goods declined by 3.4% in the euro-zone and by 1.5% in the EU25.
In November 2004, and among the Member States for which data are available, industrial production rose in fifteen
Member States, fell in five and remained stable in the United Kingdom. The highest increases were registered in

Euro-zone: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and
Finland.
Data of previous months have been revised compared to those issued in the News Release 153/2004 of 17 December
2004. The figures for October 2004 were -0.5% in the euro-zone and -0.3% in the EU25 for the monthly changes, and
+1.0% in both the euro-zone and the EU25 for the yearly changes.
Total industry (excluding construction). According to the Council Regulation 1165/98 Eurostat publishes national seasonally
adjusted data if available. For the other Member States (the Czech Republic, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Latvia, Luxembourg
and Austria) Eurostat performs the adjustment. This means that different methodologies are used to make the seasonal
adjustment of the national series.
The seasonally adjusted euro-zone, EU25 and EU15 series are calculated by aggregating the working day adjusted series
from individual Member States and performing an adjustment for seasonal effects on these series. Therefore the seasonally
adjusted figures for total industry (excluding construction) is based directly on the working day adjusted series coming from
the Member States and not on an aggregation of the seasonally adjusted indices from the Member States. The eurozone, EU25 and EU15 seasonally adjusted growth rates might differ from the weighted growth rates of the individual
Member States (see Methodology of the industrial production index).
This procedure also implies that the aggregation of the overall figures is not based on the published details (intermediate,
capital, durable, non-durable goods, energy).
