As noted in Figure I.7 above, the recovery process, although<br />

fragile, seems to be underway in the <strong>EU</strong>‑27 manufacturing<br />

2000<br />

industries. There are even three manufacturing industries<br />

which have reached their pre‑crisis levels; food,<br />

pharmaceuticals and other manufacturing. The three<br />

manufacturing industries which were hit hardest, motor<br />

vehicles, basic metals and machinery n.e.c., have also<br />

recorded the largest percentage increases since their<br />

troughs. the recovery seems to be fragile in furniture,<br />

mining and quarrying and tobacco where very modest<br />

increases are recorded only lasting recent months,<br />

cf. Figure I.11. 19<br />

development of manufacturing output since the troughs in the<br />

individual Member States.<br />

The most recent development for the <strong>EU</strong>‑27 manufacturing<br />

industries together with mining, electricity & water and<br />

construction, are summarised in the table below. The<br />

first four columns present annual average growth rates<br />

in 2009 and 2010, the growth rate in 2010 compared<br />

with 2009, and the last six months (January to June 2011). The<br />

fifth column presents, for each industry, the growth since<br />

the trough at the crisis; the last column, ‘spread’, presents<br />

the growth difference in percentage points for each industry<br />

relative manufacturing for the last six months. 20<br />

20 The spread is the difference between growth of industry<br />

i and manufacturing the last six months minus the difference<br />

between the average growth difference between industry i and<br />

manufacturing for the whole period.<br />
