Monthly statistics postponed

Shortcomings in the data Statistics Norway receives from Norwegian police have lead to postponement of the publishing of monthly statistics on road traffic accidents. Monthly statistics for the first quarter of 2003 will be published together with final figures for 2002 later this year.

Figures for 1999-2001 presented in the table 1 are final.
