In 2023, around 1.3 million first-residence permits were issued for employment-related reasons, representing 33.8 % of all first residence permits issued. Family reasons accounted for 26.4 %, education reasons for 14.3 %, while other reasons, including international protection, accounted for 25.6 %.
More ... In the second quarter of 2024, 780.1 million nights were spent in EU tourist accommodation (see Table 1). This corresponds to 1.3 million more nights (+0.2 %) than those spent in the second quarter of last year. This modest increase, and a drop in 10 EU countries compared with the second quarter of 2023, can partly be linked to the busy Easter weekend falling in most countries just outside the second quarter this year (the last weekend of March, whereas in 2023 Easter fell in April). Double-digit increases were recorded in Luxembourg (+22.2 %) and Malta (+12.3 %) (see Figure 1). In absolute figures, the biggest increases were observed in Spain (+4.5 million nights), and Greece (+1.5 million).
More ... Among the EU countries, Germany had by far the highest share of extra-EU trade in 2023, contributing 28% of the EU's exports of goods to non-EU member countries and accounting for almost one-fifth (19%) of the EU's imports (see Figure 3). The next three largest exporters, Italy (12%), the Netherlands and France (both 10%) were the only other EU countries to account for a double-digit share of EU exports.
More ... In 2022, in most EU countries (15 out of 26; data for Germany are not available due to high item non-response rate) over half of residents aged 16 or older participated in cultural activities in the previous year. Compared with 2015, reported cultural participation declined across all EU countries except Spain, where cultural participation remained stable at 58.5%. The most noticeable decreases were observed in France, Slovakia, Latvia, and Sweden, where the share of the population participating in cultural activities fell by more than 20
