European Union Business
Research Report for 1995 - 2004

Eurostats has released a publication that gives a comprehensive picture and details the structure, development and characteristics of European business for several activity sectors: from energy and the extractive industries to communications, information services and the media. It presents the latest available statistics from a wide selection of statistical sources describing: production and employment; country specialisation and regional distribution; productivity and profitability; the importance of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs); work-force characteristics; external trade etc, for each activity. The following link allows free download of the report. However, this pdf document is large (413 pages and 14.7 MB) so we recommend downloading only for those with an Internet broadband connection, or much time available.
See Eurostats report information page.

International Trade Statistics 2005

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has published a big report on 2004 and 2005 International trade Statistics. It covers traditional trade statistics, not e-commerce. However, where can a line be drawn? How much of that trade was produced as a result of emails? How much information from Internet web sites was instrumental and helpful to closing a negotiation? The more we think about it the more we can see that the Internet is the greatest business tool of all times. Visit the WTO page and download a copy of the report (274 page pdf document).
