EU integration seen through statistics – key facts of 18 policy areas. 2006 edition

This publication presents key statistical facts on 18 major European policy areas. The statistics show the progress the European Union has made but also the issues that remain. Subjects such as world trade, government debt, migration, environment, information society and dependency on energy imports are treated. The publication provides an overview on similarities and differences between the economies and societies of the EU. The statistical information is generally given both for the total of the European Union (EU-25 or EU-15) and for its Member States. When available, statistics are also provided for EU candidate countries, Japan, the United States and other countries.
