The United States was the main location of EU-controlled affiliates

This paper presents the latest trends in turnover and employment of EU-controlled affiliates located outside the European Union; it also links outward Foreign Affiliates Statistics (FATS) with data for outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) stocks, as both datasets are complementary. In affiliates located outside the EU-27 turnover in 2005 was the highest in services, while the highest number of persons employed was in manufacturing. The United States was the main destination.
