At European level, the first results are disseminated 6 months after the end of the reference period ; at national level, 11 months after.

The 5-month time lag between the two releases is explained by the broader scope of the release nomenclature at national level than at European level.

Morover, there is only one (definitive) French release, whereas june relase is definitive (folowed by data review five month later).

The timetable is generally respected. At European level, deadlines are always met.
