For each indicator, a table is presented below listing the five EU member states with the best scores for the indicator in question and the five with the worst scores; where available, the averages for the fifteen old member states (EU-15) and the twenty-five current member states (EU-25) are given in the middle of the table. In cases where the Netherlands is neither in the five best-scoring member states, nor in the five worst scoring member states, the Dutch average is also given in the centre group of figures. In some cases, the figure given for the Netherlands differs from that quoted elsewhere in the PHSF. This is because the international comparisons have sometimes been made on the basis of other data sources, or because the (mortality) statistics have been standardized. |
