-68% of the catalogue events were associated with CMEs. -67% of the type II events were associated with CMEs, in accordance with previous results. This percentage rises to 79% in the case of composite type II/IV events. -77% of the type IV continua were associated with CMEs, which is higher that the CME-type II association probability. -The type II associated CMEs had an average velocity of (835± 380) km s −1 , while the CMEs not associated with type IIs had an average velocity of (500 ± 150) km s −1 . -All events, but one, were well associated with Hα and/or SXR flares.-Most of the CME launch times precede by 5−60 min (30 min on average) the associated SXR flare peak; an important fraction (72%) precede the flare onset as well.
