1  The figures differ from the already published ones for 1 quarter 2006. This is due to change in methodology.
2  As from 1 quarter 2006 the statistics on international transport with Norwegian lorries are calibrated against the external trade statistics. These figures are therefore not comparable with figures referring to earlier quarters.
