Countries that are listed more than once provide different fuel grades at the same time. No information is available about countries that are not listed.
The specified country-specific sulfur bandwidths only apply to the point in time when they were surveyed between summer 2005 and winter 2005/2006. It must be assumed that there will be a reduction in sulfur content in the future, not an increase.
