(c) The following amounts of crushed rock aggregate, believed to be<br />
mainly igneous rock, were exported (million tonnes): 1999: 3;<br />
2000: 2; 2001: 3; 2002: 4; 2003: 3; 2004: 4. Crushed rock aggregate is<br />
also imported in comparable amounts. These figures have not been<br />
taken into account when calculating consumption.
