This publication provides a statistical portrait of the European Union (EU) in relation to the rest of the world. It begins with a presentation of key indicators for the EU, its largest Member States and the other G-20 countries. It then moves on to describe how the EU interacts with the rest of the world, as portrayed through statistical information. The publication closes with a description of the EU's statistical cooperation activities that are designed to encourage the development and strengthening of statistical systems across the globe. This publication has been produced as a contribution to World Statistics Day (20 October 2010), a United Nations initiative that aims to strengthen the public's awareness and trust in official statistics and to celebrate the many achievements of the global statistical system.
