EU-15 data is external trade only whilst Member State data includes intra-EU trade as well asthird country trade. The Figure shows that the Netherlands is the largest net exporter and Germanythe largest net importer. Other points to note are that Spain, Italy and Belgium are significant netexporters whilst the UK is a significant net importer. The Figure also shows that whilst someMember States appear to import or export as a market balancing exercise (for example, Austria andthe UK who have a net import requirement and Spain and Italy who have an exportable surplus),others probably have an exportable surplus of some products and an import requirement for others(for example, France and Belgium) shown by relatively large volumes of trade in both directions toarrive at relatively small trade balances.69
