Errata:

• RELIGIOUS DENOMINATION is documented as "Orthodox" for code '3' in the original Eurobarometer codebooks and basic questionnaires starting with survey number 32. This is not correct in the case of the NETHERLANDS. Dutch respondents have been asked for the Protestant section "Gereformeerd" in the place of "Orthodox". Corrected in the ZA codebooks for deliveries after March 16, 1999.
• Starting with Eurobarometer 34 and up to survey 61, NUTS 1 level data (REGION II) for the NETHERLANDS are not (re-)coded
  in accordance with the official EUROSTAT nomenclature of territorial unit statistics. The NUTS 2 level province ZEELAND should be
  coded as belonging to NUTS 1 region (landsdel) WEST instead of SOUTH Netherlands. (ZA editions will be corrected from EB 53 onwards, November 11, 2005)  
• D29 INCOME HH QUARTILES (V598): The category order as documented in the codebook (s2459cdb.pdf) is reversed. The highest quartile should be assigned to code '1' and the lowest quartile to code '4'. The SPSS data set is correct. (January 30, 2007).   
• C1 OPINION LEADERSHIP INDEX (V627): The category order as documented in the codebook (s2459cdb.pdf) is reversed. The highest index (++) should be assigned to code '4' and the lowest (--) to code '1'. The SPSS data set is correct. (January 30, 2007).
