Dear list members,  

please notice the following error in the Eurobarometer Trend file
(ICPSR 3384 / ZA 3521):

During the data processing at the archives the three weighting
variables have unfortunatly not been formatted correctly. The weights
obviously produce erroneous data: between 76 and 90 cases for the
whole file! (Did nobody notice that so far?)  This is supposed to be
true for all data sets distributed by ICPSR and for ZA distributions
as of May 2002 and later. Please check your data set anyway.  

The correct data set will immediately be made available via FTP.
Detailed announcement will follow through this list. 

I am very sorry for this complication. 

With best regards
Meinhard Moschner
