Figures are annual percentage points added to (or taken off) that industry's growth rate for as long as the law stands — they stack with the global rate for the industry shown above. Greyed-out industries aren't part of Northsea's economy, so those impacts do nothing here until the sector exists. Change the law and the effect changes with it — see Northsea's laws.
