Quality of the data * High probability of a significant number of workers not covered by collective bargaining and therefore not part of the statistics. *Lack of administrative control on the data collected* Sometimes bonuses are not incorporated on the statistics (collectively agreed wages are “sectorial minimum wages").* Data are provisional (final data are released with a two-year delay).
