This might be related to a similar open issue here

The following example works great

df = web.DataReader("tran_sf_railac", 'eurostat') df

But attempting to read any business demography statistics fails. For example

df = web.DataReader("bd_9ac_l_form_r2", 'eurostat') df

The following error is returned.

`---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 df = web.DataReader("bd_9ac_l_form_r2", 'eurostat')
2 df
