Omissions

• The exact figure is 56% for 2025 (per Eurostat), not precisely 50%
• The data refers to the full year 2025, with Q4 2025 showing 56.0% specifically
• The Eurostat data was published on the same day as the speech (March 25, 2026), so the MEP may have been referring to earlier 2025 data or rounded figures
