After a five-year hiatus, the source has resumed reporting these indicators, but has terminated the breakdown by 19 industries. We have expanded our extract with the "excluding VAT" variant, including the predecessors.

In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (22 series, 1997=100, including VAT, 2003m1 to 2013m12) by renaming mnemonics with a "V_97" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and segregating in the catalog.
2. Created replacements for the surviving series (general index, national products, imported products) (3 series, 2007=100, from 2007m1).
3. Added the "excluding VAT" counterparts (3 series, 2007=100, from 2007m1).
4. For history, added predecessors of "excluding VAT" (22 series, 1997=100, 2003m1 to 2013m12).
5. Refurbished the catalog.
