Errata:

• Data for question Q.2b (variables Q2B1 to Q2B13) are not correct. The missing data, i.e. respondents who did not answer the question or who were not asked the question (respondents who are not working according to D.15a), are erroneously all coded as valid (mainly to code '1').  Correct data are available starting with GESIS-ZA deliveries dated September 27.09.2002.  
• 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. (GESIS-ZA editions will be corrected from EB 53 onwards, November 11, 2005)
