Comments Louise Corselli-Nordblad 25/9/2015:
- "All figures are based on the EU-SILC (EU Statistics on income and living conditions) data collected in and prior to 2013. The data collected during 2013 relates to income for reference period 1 January to 31 December 2012 (with the exception of the United Kingdom and Ireland). " => can we add the reference period for UK and IE - it is 2011 I suppose.
- "Living standards measured by median equivalised disposable income after adjusting for inflation fell in 21 EU Member States in 2012 compared with 2011. An increase was noted in 5 EU Member States and remained at the same level in one EU Member State. An increase was seen in all of the selected EFTA countries. " => It seems to be 6 increases acc to Table 1
- "Considering the latest figures (for 2012) presented in Table 2 and Figure 2 for the change in the median equivalised disposable income in the context of the cumulative change recorded over four years ....etc" => in this paragraph all Member States and EFTA countries are mentioned except IR, FI and UK. Is there a reason or can they be added?
- In the last paragraph and comparing with Fig 4 and 5, I think that MT and BU are mentioned in the wrong gtroup and that Portugal is not mentioned in Fig 5
