d <- importData(lmp_dataset_code = 'lmp_expsumm',
                filters = list(geo=c('AT','BE','CZ'), unit='MIO_EUR',
                               lmp_type='TOT1_9', exptype=c('XIND','XEMP')))
str(d)
## Classes 'data.table' and 'data.frame':   134 obs. of  7 variables:

##  - attr(*, ".internal.selfref")=<externalptr>
g <- importLabels(dimension_code = "geo")
l <- importLabels(dimension_code = "exptype")
str(g)
