The unit of currency used in this publication is the
euro. The exchange rate at the end of a specific year
was used to convert the domestic currency to euros
for the period prior to the introduction of the euro. In
some tables, the amounts are shown in millions or
billions of euros, which is marked separately.
The growth index rates are calculated as the ratio
between the data for the selected year and the data
for the previous year, without taking inflation into
account.
When ranking the insurance classes, the life

(1) The adjustment of the levels of education in 2013 to the new levels stipulated in the “Bologna” programmes is based on the classification by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and
Technology.
(2) The data for one of the members for 2014 constitutes an estimate as it has not yet used the new methodology for the classification of levels of education stipulated in the Bologna
programme.
(3) Following the transition to the new system of the levels of education the professional higher education programme was reclassified from level 7 under the former programme to level 6
under the Bologna programme, which is why it is impossible to compare the data for 2013 and 2014, which is reflected in the growth index.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed 2015 as the
International Year of Light. Light plays an important role in our lives. It gives life through photosynthesis,
a process which enables forests to perform an increasingly vital task for humanity: generating oxygen
from carbon dioxide. Forests retain rainwater, protect the soil from erosion and prevent landslides. They
influence temperature and atmospheric humidity. Forests are also the source of one of the world's most
important raw materials and, at the same time, are home to many species of plant and animal. It is for
this reason, therefore, that forests – our most precious asset – are the focus of this issue of the Statistical
Insurance Bulletin.
