Supplementary notes

This data is representing the share of imports within the European Union on an annual basis. In theory, as every export within the union is another member state's import, the import and export shares should be identical. In practice, however, there are small irregularities in the figures, usually due to rounding errors, valuation differences, or other reasons for judging imports and exports differently.

Citation formats

The majority of goods traded between European Union member states are either machinery and transport equipment or other manufactured goods, with chemicals also making up almost a fifth of EU trade. Over the period since 2002, the shares of these product categories have remained relatively stable, with a decline in heavy manufactured goods during the Great Recession and Eurozone Crisis of the early 2010s.
