Disclaimer
Data are based on a desk review of legislation in all covered countries. The level of retrictiveness depends on the number of changes that were introduced. This means that countries are not directly comparable. Additionally, the indicator does not show how restrictive a country is overall but whether or not it has become more or less restrictive since 1994.
