(1) On 1 January 2007, 2 new members joined the European Union (EU). Together with the 25 original members, there were a total of 27 members in the EU. Statistics on merchandise trade with the EU in this table are compiled based on the new coverage. They are thus different from figures shown in tables of 2006 and earlier editions of this publication.
