Available documents are written in bold. An entry "previous" means that the information in the document for the previous year is also valid for the year in question. The document "Methods and definitions 2001" contains the relevant information for all individual topics in 2001 and 2002; from 2003 onwards the information was updated in separate documents, so that since 2005 individual documents for all six coding topics exist.
