COSC Testing Numbers?

I recently saw the COSC numbers for 2003 and I noticed that compare to 1999 - Rolex, Omega and Panerais increased the number of certificates obtained, while Breitling, Bulgari and Tag Heuers decreased. Wondering if anyone knew whether this was due to Breitling,Bulgari and Tags deciding not to obtain COSC or whether their production/sales have dropped off? It would seem to me that Breitlings and Tag's COSC number should have increased, based on the two brands recent popularity.

Also, wondering if anyone had 2004 COSC numbers.

Rolex: 756408 in 2003 - 584607 in 1999
Omega: 207668 in 2003 - 137750 in 1999
Breitling: 107689 in 2003 - 127659 in 1999
Panerai: 36714 in 2003 - 12826 in 1999
Tissot: 18648 in 2003 - 4843in 1999
Tag Heuer: 9184 in 2003 - 13342 in 1999
Bulgari: 8870 in 2003 - 22601 in 1999
