NOTE TO NEWS EDITORS
1. Estimates of Scottish Manufactured Exports are compiled on the standard industrial classification SIC92.
2. The data presented for Scottish Manufactured Exports measure sales of goods produced by the Scottish Manufacturing sector for export outwith the UK. The Office for National Statistics collects the data used to produce these figures in their Monthly Production Inquiry. The data are deflated to 1995 prices using UK export producer price indices, which are also produced by the ONS.
3. The data are seasonally adjusted. The basic series that are seasonally adjusted are Textiles, Footwear, Leather & Clothing, Drink, Electrical & Instrument Engineering and Other Manufacturing Industries. This means that direct comparison between successive quarters is possible for these industries and the combined series. EAS have developed systems to seasonally adjust the series in line with standard National Statistics practice.
4. Estimates of Scottish Manufactured Exports are based on a sample of just under 800 Scottish manufacturing exporters in an average quarter. This sample covers all sizes of unit across manufacturing industry.
5. The data published in this news release are based on 1995 prices and current prices. Due to the availability of updated information and small changes in the seasonal factors there have been some revisions to the Scottish Manufactured Exports published on 23 January 2002. Tables 5-8 show revisions to the estimates previously published.
6. These figures are the first post September 11th economic data to be released for Scotland. While it is not possible to isolate and quantify any effect on Scottish Manufactured Exports, changes in seasonal patterns over the period might lead to future revisions.
7. Provisional figures for Scottish Manufactured Exports in 2002 Q1 are provisionally scheduled to be published on Wednesday 10 July 2002.
8. National Statistics are produced to high professional standards set out in the National Statistics Code of Practice. They undergo regular quality assurance reviews to ensure that they meet customer needs. They are produced free from any political interference.
