Source: Calculated on basis of data from the Mission of the Republic of Macedonia in Brussels,<br />
March 2009<br />
*Note: Data for 2008 are accounted only for the first six months of the year<br />
** Note: Due to methodological problems of incomparability, data on Serbian trade exchange within<br />
the region are not included in the table.<br />
Both the total export and the total import of goods of CEFTA-2006 member-states record<br />
increment for the first six months of 2008 in comparison with 2007. Still, this evidence is<br />
not enough to confirm the possibility for economic reintegration of the region. In order to<br />
obtain more relevant information on this matter we have to look for more detailed data on<br />
the economic structure of the foreign trade exchange in the region.<br />
3. Analysis of the structure of the trade exchange of goods within CEFTA-2006<br />
The CEFTA-2006 trade exchange of goods is accurately statistically evidenced under the<br />
Standard International Trade Classification of Goods (SITC), both on the import and on the<br />
export side for each member-state.<br />
