6 Foreword /. Introduction The monthly bulletin on external trade, published by Eurostat in the Β scries, Short-term trends, sets out to provide within the shortest possible deadlines data on short-term trends in the European Union's external trade. In particular, it contains data on the European Union's trade flows with its trading partners and the various economic areas and a breakdown of this data by major product group. The bulletin also provides an overview, based on data from various international sources, of the place occupied by the European Union in the external trade of its main trading partners and of third countries. Trade flows between Member States are recorded under the Intrastat system and will be published at a later date. The European Union's external trade statistics at the most detailed classification level are published monthly on CD-ROM (B series: Intra and extra-eu trade). Trends in external trade since and a comparison with world trade are contained in the publication "External Trade Statistical Yearbook (Series A)". External trade statistics are also available on line via the Eurostat data banks (Comext). The catalogue of Eurostat publications and a detailed methodological description can be found in "External Trade Statistics User's Guide" published in all languages of the European Union.. Sources Since, the Member States have transmitted European Union external trade statistics according to a uniform methodology laid down by Council Regulation (EEC) No /. This regulation was amended to take account of the new developments in, i.e. the introduction of the new external trade classification entitled "Combined Nomenclature" (CN) and the new "Single Administrative Document". The tables in this bulletin are compiled by Eurostat from the detailed data transmitted on magnetic tape by the Member States; these data are broken down according to the eight-digit subheadings of the Combined Nomenclature. Eurostat wishes to take this opportunity of thanking the relevant departments in the Member States for their cooperation, which enables it to compile these harmonized European Union statistics and to ensure their quality.. Coverage The results of the European Union statistics relate to special trade. This comprises: ) imports of goods placed in free circulation on their arrival at or on leaving warehouses, imports for inward processing and imports after outward processing (customs procedures): ) exports of European Union goods, exports after inward processing and exports for outward processing (customs procedures). Transit and warehousing traffic arc not covered by European Union statistics.. Statistical territory The statistical territory of the European Union comprises the customs territory of the European Union excluding the French overseas departments. Thus Greenland, the Canary Islands and Ceuta and Melilla are not covered, while the Azores and Madeira for Portugal and the Balearics for Spain arc. From October 0, the external trade data of the Federal Republic of Germany, the other Member States and EUR relate to the Federal Republic of Germany in its borders after October 0. IV

7 . Goods classification In this publication the results arc broken down by the sections and divisions of the UN Standard International Trade Classification (SITC Rev. since ) by means of correspondence tables drawn up by Eurostat on the basis of the Combined Nomenclature (CN).. Trading partners: countries and economic areas The results of the European Union are broken down by country of origin, country of consigment and country of destination in accordance with the "Country nomenclature for statistics on European Union external trade and trade between its Member States", referred to as the Gconomcnclature (Gconom). When goods that originate in third countries and are not in free circulation in the European Union arc imported, EU statistics state the country of origin. When such goods are exported, the country of destination is specified.. Units s The statistical value of goods on import is equal to the customs valuation or to a value determined by reference to the concept of customs valuation (in the case, for example, of imports from other Member States). It is the CIF value (cost, insurance, and freight). The statistical value of goods on export is equal to their value at the place and time at which they leave the statistical tercitory of the exporting Member State. It is the FOB value (free on board). The value is expressed in European units of account (ecus). The ecu is a "basket" currency unit based on the market exchange rates of a certain quantity of each European Union currency according to a weighting system involving the five-year average of each Member State's gross national product and intra-eu trade balance. The rates used in this bulletin are averages of daily rates. The bulletin contains a table showing the conversion rates used. Quantity The statistics give the net weight of the goods.. Confidentiality Most Member States take measures to guarantee the confidentiality of certain flows of goods. The relevant legislation, the procedures for implementing it and the range of goods subject to secrecy vary from one Member State to another. This confidentiality applies to the most detailed level of the classification used for collecting the data; it may therefore refer to all or only part of a subheading of the Combined Nomenclature. Similarly, confidentiality may apply to imports only or to exports only and to only some of the variables recorded (value, statistical procedure, quantities, country, partner, etc.). Measures are taken during collection and during processing by Eurostat to minimise the effect of these headings on the results for the European Union as a whole; in particular, trade data on these headings are included at higher levels of aggregation and in the totals. On the other hand, the statistics are supplied on the strength of customs documents and do not take account of any amendments made by some Member States at the end of the year in drawing up accounts on intergovernmental trade. In view of this, drawing up a trade balance may produce figures that vary sometimes considerably from the official national figures.

8 . Corrections Every month the Member States send Eurostat a magnetic tape containing the results for the current month. In order to correct these results, the Member States also send every month a magnetic tape containing monthly corrections covering the previous -month period. VI

9 Indices /. Introduction Changes overtime in the value of trade are influenced by variations in prices and the quantities marketed. Indices are used to measure these two effects. In general, a system of indices is chosen so that the product of the volume index and the price index expresses the value index. Several systems of indices meeting this requirement may be regularly used. The results obtained by using one system will generally be different from those obtained by using another. For various reasons the Member States do not use a common system, and the level of breakdown of their indices by product group and by partner area also varies. Eurostat has therefore devised its own external trade indices which enable it to calculate, for each Member State, European Union indices on a strictly comparable basis. These indices may be consulted on the Trend database developed by Eurostat.. Sources of data There are basically two ways of obtaining information on prices: conducting price surveys by directly approaching importers and exporters and using data collected by the customs authorities. At present only customs data are available in all the Member States. Eurostat therefore calculates indices of unit values (values divided by quantities) and uses them as price variation indicators. The computing programs contain a system for automatically identifying extreme unit values pointing to unlikely price movements.. Extreme values To avoid a number of restrictions involved in using customs data, Eurostat decided to adopt two basic principles in calculating unit value indices: using the most detailed data possible and always bearing in mind that the object of the exercise is to break down variations in value into a "price" component and a "volume" component. Two rules arc applied in order to exclude unlikely price movements. The first is that, given the general level of inflation, the price of a product should not be very different from its level a year ago. Any variation of five or more points is regarded as suspect. The second - more restrictive - rule is that the variation in the price of a product in relation to the most recent month for which data are available should not be very different from the average price variation for similar products. Applying these rules prevents extreme variations due to factors that are unconnected with prices and would otherwise distort the unit value index. For products whose unit values are rejected, the variations are taken to be the same as those for similar products.. Classification used The United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), revised for the third time in, was drawn up on the basis of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS). Using tables of coπespondence between the various classifications (Nimexe, Combined Nomenclature and SITC), Eurostat has been able to publish an uninterrupted time series of external trade indices from to the present. From onwards, external trade publications will give indices calculated from on the basis of the following SITC Rev. aggregates: TOTAL: all commodities; 0+ : foods, beverages and tobacco; +: crude materials, except fuels; : fuels +++: manufactured goods. By compiling other correspondence tables, Eurostat is able to supply complete time scries based on other classifications. VII

10 . Types of indices and rebasing Eurostat calculates Fisher's "ideal" annual chain indices. Since the "basket of goods" marketed at international level varies rapidly over time, the annual chain permits the updating of the index weightings. Each month the changes in unit values in the product groups at detailed level are weighted in order to obtain the changes in unit values in the various major product categories. Since these changes are based on the previous year, a chain of unit values is obtained. The corresponding volume index chain is the ratio of the unit value variation to the variation in value for the month in question compared with the monthly average for the previous year. The indices published each month are calculated by multiplying the above-mentioned chains by the annual indices for the previous year, a fixed reference period having been chosen (at present 0). The annual unit value chains are obtained by weighting the monthly chains by the volumes, while the annual volume chains are calculated by dividing the annual value variations by the unit value chains.. General comments Only data on normal trade (statistical procedure ) arc used to calculate the unit value indices; however, data on total trade (covering all the statistical procedures) are used to calculate the value indices from which the volume indices are obtained. The unit value indices are calculated on the basis of values expressed in ecus. - For any further information on the methods used to calculate the indices, please refer to Eurostat's specialised publications.

13 Trends in European Union trade

14 SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS: RESULTS The month of April saw a marked upturn (+.% over the previous month) of the seasonally-adjusted figures for the European Union's exports to the rest of the world. The figures have remained constant since the start of the year after rising throughout. In comparison with the first four months of, the increase was even more noticeable, reaching.%. During the second half of the seasonally-adjusted figures for the European Union's imports from the rest of the world showed an upward trend. This trend was interrupted in, with figures stabilizing at a high level. The downturn recorded in April (-0.% compared with the previous month) cannot be considered significant. Indeed, in comparison with the first four months of, imports during the same period in were up by.%. The European Union's seasonally-adjusted trade balance has been improving since the third quarter of, and in the first four months of it recorded a surplus of ECU 00 million, thanks primarily to a solid performance in April (+ 00 million). The overall result for the first four months of the year showed a marked improvement over the figure for the corresponding period of, when there was a deficit of ECU 00 million as a result of a greater rise in exports.

The gap between the rates of change between exports and imports during the first four months of was +. points for the European Union,. points for the United States and +0. points for Japan. The external trade deficit of the European Union (EU) between the periods January April of and went down from ECU. billion to ECU. billion. This improvement of the extra EU's trade balance is mainly due to the increase of the exports (.%). EU imports grew by.% between these two periods. The United States increased its trade deficit from ECU 0. billion in the first four months of to ECU 0.0 billion in the same period of. US imports increased by % between these two periods, while exports rose.%, both figures in ECU terms. In US dollars, these figures were.% and.% respectively. The Japanese external surplus went up ECU billion to ECU. billion between the periods January April of and. Both imports and exports, when considered in ECU, increased by nearly the same amount (.% and.% respectively). In terms of US dollars, there was a difference of 0.% for the exports, while in terms of Yen both Japanese imports and exports decreased by.% and.% respectively.

18 EXTERNAL TRADE BY EU MEMBER STATES: Results for April. Germany was the EU country which registered the largest surplus during the first four months of (ECU. billion), while the United Kingdom recorded the biggest deficit during the same period (ECU.0 billion) The two EU countries which showed the most significant improvements in their trade position between the first four months of and were France (which went up from a deficit of ECU. billion to a surplus of ECU. billion) and Italy (which recorded a surplus of ECU. billion in the first four months of ). exports of these two countries increased significantly (by.% in the case of France and by.% for Italy), while the increase of their extra-eu imports was more contained (.% and.% respectively). Germany registered the largest surplus during the first four months of (ECU. billion, ECU billion up from the same figure of ). The percentage of increase of both extra-eu imports and exports between these two periods was rather similar (.0% and.% respectively). Ireland and Denmark experienced small surpluses during the period January-April of (ECU 0. billion and ECU 0. billion respectively, with minor variations from the same figures of ). While for Denmark the difference between the rates of increase of extra-eu imports and exports between the first four months of and was+.0%, it was -. percentage points in the case of Ireland. The BLEU registered a trade deficit of ECU 0. billion during the period January-April of, an improvement of ECU 0. billion from the same figure of. Both extra-eu imports (.%) and exports (.%) increased strongly between these two periods. Portugal did not experience a significative change in its deficit between the first four months of and (from ECU 0. billion to ECU 0. billion). Both extra-eu imports and exports increased by a similar amount (.% and.% respectively). Greece (with ECU. billion) and Spain (ECU. billion) recorded similar deficits during the period January-April of. It represented an improvement of ECU 0. billion and ECU 0. billion respectively from the same figures of. While in both countries the extra-eu exports increased sharply during these two periods (by.% and.% respectively), the percentage change of extra-eu imports between the first four months of and was positive in the case of Spain (.%) and negative for Greece (-.%). The Netherlands and the United Kingdom were the two EU countries which experienced the largest deficits during the period January-April, with ECU. billion and ECU.0 billion respectively. These two countries experienced a deterioration of their trade positions from the same period of (of ECU. billion in the case of the Netherlands and ECU 0. billion for the United Kingdom).

20 EUROPEAN UNION TRADE BY PARTNER COUNTRY TRADE IN TERMS OF VALUE: Results for April. The EU's trade deficit with the industrialised countries improved by ECU. billion between the first four months of and ; the EU surplus with developing countries went up ECU. billion to ECU. billion between these two periods. In the first four months of the EU trade deficit with the industrialised countries amounted to ECU. billion, while for the same period of this deficit was ECU. billion. This improvement of the EU trade position with this group of countries between these periods is mainly due to the reduction of the EU trade deficits with the United States and Canada (which went down ECU. billion to ECU. billion) and Japan (down ECU. billion to ECU billion). The EU's trade deficit with the countries went up ECU 0. billion to ECU. billion between the periods January-April of and. EU imports from industrialised countries (which represented.% of total extra-eu imports) increased by.% between the first four months of and, somewhat under the value for total extra-eu imports (.%). While EU imports from the United States and Canada and the countries increased by.% and.% respectively, EU imports from Japan increased less (by 0.%). Exports from the EU to industrialised countries (% of total extra-eu exports) increased by.%. EU exports to the United States and Canada rose by.% durinq the periods January-April of and, and EU exports to Japan by 0.%. Exports to the countries were more moderated (.% between these two periods). EU trade with developing countries showed a surplus of ECU. billion during the first four months of, ECU. billion up from the same period of. The most significant EU surpluses were recorded with Mediterranean countries (ECU. billion), the Asian Newly Industrialised Countries (NICs) (ECU. billion) and the countries of Latin America (ÉCU 0. billion), the EU registered a deficit of ECU. billion with the ACP countries and of ECU 0. billion with the OPEC countries. EU imports from developing countries (which accounted for.% of total extra-eu imports) increased by.% between the first four months of and, while for the EU exports this value was.%. EU exports to developing countries accounted for.% of total extra- EU exports. The differences between the percentages of change between EU imports and exports with this group of countries between these two periods were the following: -.% for the Asian NICs, +0.% for the OPEC countries,-. %forthe Mediterranean countries, +.% for the ÁCP countries and -.% for the countries of Latin America. The balance of trade of the EU with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe recorded a surplus of ECU 0. billion in the first four months of ; this figure was ECU 0. billion in the corresponding period of. EU imports from this area (% of total extra-eu imports) went up.%, while EU exports (nearly % of total extra-eu exports) increased by 0.% between the periods January-April of and. Trade with China showed a deficit of ECU. billion in the first four months of, ECU 0. billion up from the corresponding figure of. Both EU imports and exports to this country presented sharp increases between these two periods (by 0.% and. % respectively). EU imports from China accounted for % of total extra-eu imports, while this figure was.% for the extra-eu exports.

22 EUROPEAN UNION EXTERNAL TRADE BY PRODUCT. TRADE IN TERMS OF VALUE: Results for April. The improvement in the EU's trade balance between the periods January April of and was mainly due to the positive performance of machinery and transport equipment, which recorded a surplus of ECU. billion in the first four months of. The EU's trade surplus in machinery and transport equipment (SITC ) went up ECU. billion to ECU. billion between the first four months of and. While EU imports of this kind of products (around 0% of total extra EU imports) increased by.%, EU exports (.% of total extra EU exports) rose by %. The trade position of the EU for chemical products (SITC ) also improved between the periods January April of Í and : the EU's surplus went from ECU. billion to ECU. billion. Both EU imports and exports of these products increased by a similar amount (.% and.% respectively). The EU's trade deficit for other manufactured products (SITC +) went down ECU. billion to ECU. billion between the first four months of and. The increase of the EU's imports of these products between these two periods (.%) was less than half the increase of exports (.%).
