Turnover and employment of EU affiliates abroad 2002/2003 outward FATS data for nine Member States
- Share to:
This article provides an overview of the most recent trends in outward Foreign Affiliate Statistics1 (FATS) emanating from the EU. A particular focus is on the role of services in outward FATS, given the growing interest in globalisation trends in the services' sector. Outward FATS from the EU towards Asia is also dealt with, as countries from the region become important economic partners for the EU.
The variables covered are turnover and employment. For the reference year 2003, seven Member States (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic2, Finland, Germany, Greece and Portugal) provided data for turnover and employment. France and Sweden provided data for the year 20023. France provided only turnover data and Sweden employment data4. For the moment, each Member State allows different data coverage methodologies5, which causes the current data availability to be patchy and not sufficient to calculate EU- aggregates. The lack of available data is aggravated by the fact that, at least for some Member States, a significant part of the data cannot be published due to confidentiality concerns.
