The status of the audited incomplete customs declarations, regarding oil products, for July 2010, has been integrated in the compilation of the external trade statistics. The corresponding declarations for July 2011 have not been integrated yet, since they have not been finalized entirely, having as a result the lack of comparability of the external trade statistics data between July 2011 and July 2010.
