Source: Calculated on basis of data from the Mission of the Republic of Macedonia in Brussels,<br />

March 2009<br />

*Note: Data for 2008 are accounted only for the first six months of the year<br />

** Note: Due to methodological problems of incomparability, data on Serbian trade exchange within<br />

the region are not included in the table.<br />

Both the total export and the total import of goods of CEFTA-2006 member-states record<br />

increment for the first six months of 2008 in comparison with 2007. Still, this evidence is<br />

not enough to confirm the possibility for economic reintegration of the region. In order to<br />

obtain more relevant information on this matter we have to look for more detailed data on<br />

the economic structure of the foreign trade exchange in the region.<br />

3. Analysis of the structure of the trade exchange of goods within CEFTA-2006<br />

The CEFTA-2006 trade exchange of goods is accurately statistically evidenced under the<br />

Standard International Trade Classification of Goods (SITC), both on the import and on the<br />

export side for each member-state.<br />
