5 Introduction This Trade Statistical Pocket Guide contains selected tables and graphs that outline the current state of and recent developments in the European Union s (EU s) foreign trade, i.e. its trade with the rest of the world. It has been compiled for the benefit of the Directorate-General for Trade s (DG Trade s) policymakers. Statistics on trade in goods, trade in services and foreign direct investment are key elements in any description of the trade performance of the EU with the rest of the world. These are published by the statistical office of the EU (Eurostat) and by international organisations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). The most recently available statistics have been included but databases are updated daily and small discrepancies are inevitable. The statistics are presented in the form of tables and graphs, broken down by the main trading partners, product category and year. Additional supportive statistics such as gross domestic product (GDP), exchange rates and trade by Member State have also been added. Further information about this booklet, its contents and the methodology used can be obtained from DG Trade s Statistics desk (trade-statistics@ ec.europa.eu). Brussels, January 2016

8 GLOSSARY

9 BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP) The BoP is a statistical statement that systematically summarises, over a given period of time, all the transactions of an economy with the rest of the world. The BoP records all economic transactions undertaken between residents and non-residents of a country during a given period. The BoP is broken down into three broad sub-balances. Current account This shows the flow of goods, services, income and current transfers between resident and non-resident units. Capital account This covers all transactions involving: (a) the receipt or payment of capital transfers (debt forgiveness, migrant s transfers, transfers of ownership of fixed assets, transfers linked to, or conditional on, the acquisition or disposal of fixed assets, etc.); (b) the acquisition/disposal of non-produced, non-financial assets, which includes transactions associated with tangible assets (e.g. land and subsoil assets) and transactions associated with intangible assets (e.g. patents, copyrights, trademarks, franchises, etc.). Financial account This covers all transactions associated with changes of ownership in the foreign financial assets and liabilities of an economy. The methodological framework followed in the compilation of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position is defined in the sixth edition of the International Monetary Fund Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6), published in The Balance of Payments Manual fifth edition (BPM5), published in 1993, was the reference for the data produced by the EU Member States, EFTA and EU candidate countries, and published by Eurostat until Time series according to BPM5 continue to be disseminated in Eurostat database but are no longer revised. SERVICES Services are one of the categories of the current account. The main breakdown of services includes twelve categories. Two new categories were introduced with the change from BPM5 to BPM6 ( Manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others and Maintenance and repair services ), while previous categories were in most cases redefined according to new definitions and calculation methods. In this Pocket Guide, EU and Member States figures in section 1 are reported according to BPM5 to ensure consistency with WTO data. Also, BPM5 service categories and figures will be used to display a consistent series between 2004 and FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) FDI is the category of international investment made by an entity resident in one economy (direct investor) to acquire a lasting interest in an enterprise operating in another economy (direct investment enterprise). The lasting interest is deemed to exist if the direct investor acquires at least 10 % of the voting power of the direct investment enterprise. Two main indicators are used: 1) FDI flows denote the new investment made during the period; 2) FDI stocks (or positions) denote the value of the investment at the end of the period. For both of these, FDI statistics record separately: 1) the inward FDI (or FDI in the reporting economy), namely investment by foreigners in enterprises resident in the reporting economy; 2) the outward FDI (or FDI abroad), namely investment by resident entities in affiliated enterprises abroad. The change to BPM6 from BPM5 implied the introduction of separate recording for some items, mainly reverse investment (although not in yearly statistics), FDI between fellow enterprises and FDI by resident special purpose entities (SPEs). These changes affect comparability, which will be limited for the series up to 2012 and from GLOSSARY 7

10 FOREIGN AFFILIATES STATISTICS (FATS) FATS measure the commercial presence through affiliates in foreign markets. Inward FATS describe the overall activity of foreign affiliates resident in the compiling economy. Outward FATS describes the activities of foreign affiliates abroad controlled by residents of the compiling country. A foreign affiliate in inward FATS is an enterprise resident in the compiling country over which an institutional unit not resident in the compiling country has control. A foreign affiliate in outward FATS is instead an enterprise or branch not resident in the compiling country over which an institutional unit resident in the compiling country has direct or indirect control. Control is the ability to determine the general policy of the affiliate by appointing appropriate managers, if necessary. Most of the time, control is determined by taking into account the share of ownership, although other criteria might be relevant and used. INTERNATIONAL TRADE STATISTICS BY ENTERPRISE CHARACTERISTICS (TEC) TEC is a statistical domain aimed to describe various aspects of the structure of international trade from the viewpoint of the characteristics of the trading enterprises such as size of the enterprise and sector of main activity. TEC is compiled by linking micro data on international trade in goods with business registers. GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) As an aggregate measure of production, the GDP of a country is equal to the sum of the gross values added of all resident institutional units engaged in production (plus any taxes, and minus any subsidies, on products not included in the value of their outputs). PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP) Purchasing power parity (PPP) is an indicator of price level differences across countries. It measures the number of units of country B s currency that are needed in country B to purchase the same quantity of an individual good or service, as one unit of country A s currency will purchase in country A. PPPs are therefore the rates of currency conversion that equalise the purchasing power of different currencies by eliminating the differences in price levels between countries. TRADE IN GOODS: CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS Harmonized System (HS) The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, more briefly known as the HS, is a multipurpose international product nomenclature developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). The HS is organised into 21 sections and 96 chapters. It comprises around commodity groups, each identified by a 6-digit code. Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) The SITC is a product classification of the UN used for external trade statistics (export and import values and volumes of goods). It is designed to provide the commodity aggregates for purposes of economic analysis and to facilitate international comparisons of trade-by-commodity data. It is divided into 10 basic sections. TRADE IN GOODS: STATISTICAL REGIME Merchandise trade statistics included in this booklet are based on the general trade system (also known as Statistical regime 4 or Total trade ). In this system, the recorded aggregates include all goods entering or leaving the economic territory of a country with the exception of simple transit trade. In particular, all goods received into customs warehouses are recorded as imports, regardless of whether they subsequently go into free circulation in the Member State of receipt. Similarly, outgoing goods from customs warehouses are included in the general trade aggregates, at the time they leave the Member State. This general system is the result of three other regimes, presented below. Normal trade: goods are exported definitively, or imported and released into free circulation in the EU customs territory. 8 Trade statistical guide

11 Trade under inward processing procedures: goods are imported temporarily (with an exemption from duties, levies or other checks) so that they can be further processed (assembled or transformed), and then all the resulting processed products are exported outside the EU. Trade under outward processing procedures: intermediate goods are temporarily exported for further processing in a non-eu country, and the processed products are re-imported into the EU (with a full or partial exemption from custom duties and levies). TRADE IN GOODS: INTRA-EU AND EXTRA-EU TRADE FLOWS IMPORT DUTIES Bound import duties These are the legally bound commitments on customs duty rates, which act as ceilings on the tariffs that member governments can set (WTO). Applied import duties These are the rates that governments actually charge on imports, which can be lower than bound rates and have a direct impact on trade (WTO). Whereas an applied duty cannot exceed a bound duty, average applied duties exceed in some cases average bound duties. This can occur if the averages are calculated over different tariff nomenclatures. Outward flows from a Member State to a non-member country (extra-eu) are called exports ; outward flows from one Member State to another (intra-eu) are called dispatches. Inward flows into a Member State from a non-member country are called imports. Inward flows into a Member State from another Member State are called arrivals. For methodological reasons, international trade in goods statistics are accurate at EU level. At Member State level inaccuracies can arise because of the Rotterdam effect : a Member State receiving a good from a non-eu country is not necessarily the Member State of final destination and a Member State sending a good to a non-eu country is not necessarily the Member State of origin of the good. NOTE ON DATA PRESENTATION Footnotes are provided under each table and figure to provide information on data sources and information on particular values or series. Data values in Italics are estimated or provisional. GLOSSARY 9
