Peer lines share one grey on purpose: hover for countries. The compared series can differ slightly from the Dutch definition above.
Countries are ordered by value, highest first — rank 1 means the highest number, not “the best”. A year is ranked only when all 8 countries report it; missing years stay gaps. The EU average is not a country and is not ranked.
