The bulletin on Euro-Mediterranean Statistics 2007 has been released in a trilingual version. The bulletin covers the period up to 2006; more than eighty tables and figures gather statistical data of the ten Mediterranean partner countries (MPC), including the Occupied Palestinian Territory, alongside those of the 25 European Union Member States and of three EFTA countries.

The publication on Euro-Mediterranean statistics is one of the first tangible achievements of the MEDSTAT II project. It aims at improving the coherence of data in the partner countries as well as their comparability with the statistical data of European Union and EFTA Member States.

Apart from a general portrait of each country, the publication offers 8 distinct chapters: Economy and Finance (in particular: GDP, debt, public finance), External trade and Balance of Payments, Social Statistics (education, living conditions, employment), Agriculture, Energy, Environment, Tourism and Transport

The publication aims at answering the information needs of all those who are interested in the economic and social development of the Mediterranean countries.

The MPC data presented in this publication are essentially derived from national sources, in order to give visibility of national statistics products

The publication is available on the EUROSTAT website.
