Suppliers and flows
Ten years of trade between Europe and its suppliers.
The map covers two hundred and ten countries over ten years. Choose the product category, then what you want to see: the amounts purchased by the Union, or the share they represent of the country's exports.

You are assessing a supplier
Look at the share of its exports destined for the Union. Above half, the country routinely works with European buyers: requirements are well understood there and local suppliers know how to meet them. Below a few per cent, your questionnaire will probably be among the first it receives.
You sell to Europe
The amounts place your country among the Union's suppliers in your product category. The ten-year trend shows whether European purchases there are growing or declining, which changes the level of scrutiny you should expect.
These figures describe countries, not companies. A major exporter has suppliers of every calibre, and a small country may be home to the best-run workshop in your chain. The map is there to help you prepare the right questions, not to answer them.

How to read these figures
Direction of movement
The amounts shown are what the Union buys. What it imports from a country is what that country sells to it: a single transaction, counted from Europe’s side. Member States do not appear here, as they trade within the single market.
Categories
Goods and services fall under two distinct accounting frameworks: the former pass through customs, the latter through the balance of payments. Product families cover the same countries as total goods.
Trend
It compares the selected year with the first year published for that country; moving the slider shows from when the trend strengthened or reversed. Below a fifteen-point gap, the movement is treated as stable.

Placing a supplier in its real context.
The map sets the scene for a country. To know what a given supplier can genuinely demonstrate, you need to look at their contract, their sites and their evidence.
