Great Britain is not an Island

[Louis VI the Fat]

These were the statistics I couldn't find earlier. Section F gives a 'Geographical analysis. Page 47:

Trade in Goods with EU total for 2007:
127,678 Export and 169,142 Import
Trade in Goods with Non-EU total for 2007:
93,025 Export and 140,813 Import.

Some 60% of UK's trade in goods is with the EU.

Yes, I saw that.



Europe is a big house with many rooms. And a common thread runs through those rooms, tying the whole thing together.







Anyway, while one may feel whatever about their identity, one can never really escape ones family.

yup, what i was after was total figures for goods and services, given that services make up a large proportion of UK trade, i didn't quite manage that obviously. :)

I did not manage to find those numbers either.

I couldn't even find these numbers, and am happy you did. Your Google-fu beat mine.


I am looking forward to the numbers for services with confidence, though.

Maybe the UK government realised that they were made up for a large part by Britain's finance and banking sector, and quickly erased all trace of them from the books.

what are you confident they will confirm for you, in relation to this discussion?

i only brought them to correct Brenus on what i new to be an inaccurate figure of 80%.

[Brenus]

I didn't think they were accurate.
Does it include all the trips to Calais? Specially for X-mass

[JR-]

probably not.

we want free trade, they want trade protection from subsidies.
