We are sorry to inform you that the Resource Centre for Access to Data
on Europe (r-cade), based at the University of Durham, will be
suspending its services at the end of this month. This is due to funding
and staffing shortages.
From now on, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) will take over
sole responsibility for the provision of Eurostat's datashop services in
the UK. Therefore, if you have any enquiries or requests concerning
Eurostat data and/or publications, please contact ONS on
[log in to unmask] or telephone them on 01633 813369.
Please note, ONS normally make a charge for any data supplied. You can
also obtain a wide range of Eurostat data free of charge from the
Eurostat Website at http://europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat
We do apologise for any inconvenience this causes. We have rigorously
explored various possible ways forward for r-cade, but having run out of
funding options, we are regretfully left with no alternative but to
discontinue the project.
We would like to thank all our customers for their support and interest
in r-cade since 1995.
