of the world (extra-EU trade), while the movement of goods among the EU member states<br />
is considered internal foreign trade (intra-EU trade). A consideration of the external <strong>and</strong> internal<br />
foreign trade of the EU-25 shows that that extra-EU trade has become less significant<br />
since 1980 than intra-EU trade, although this proportion has not shifted much since<br />
1990. In 2004, the internal exchange of goods accounted for approximately two thirds of<br />
overall foreign trade on the part of the EU-25 <strong>and</strong> was thus approximately twice as high as<br />
the share of extra-EU trade (see Fig. 4).<br />
