eEstimated; estimated data are rounded to no more than three
significant digits; may not add to totals shown. rRevised. -- Zero. |
1Table includes data available through March 2004. |
2In addition to the commodities listed, Belgium produced a number
of other metals and alloys, for which only aggregate output figures were
available. |
3Reported figure. |
4Data not reported; derived by taking reported total lead output
plus exports of lead bullion less imports of lead bullion. |
5Data represent secondary refined lead output less remelted
lead. As such, the figures are
probably high because they include some lead that was |
sufficiently pure
as scrap that did not require remelting, but data are not adequate to permit
differentiation. |
6Construction materials, such as dimension stone and sand and
gravel, are also reproduced, but the amounts are no longer reported, and no
basis exists |
for the
formulation of reliable estimates of output levels. |
