Insofar as applications for export licences for a particular destination country are refused, this is indicated in the Overview along with the number of refusals, the corresponding Export List item number and the value of the goods affected. Insofar as Denials according to the EU Code of Conduct have been produced in such cases, this is idicated along with the reason for the Denial (the respective criterion code from the Code of Conduct). The number of Denials indicated for the reporting year 1999 may differ from the number of application refusals. This is because there is a time lag between the refusal of the export licence application and the appearance of the corresponding Denial report, and therefore the latter may not appear in the statistics until the following year.
