European industrial production 2003 to 2007 – on the increase - Issue number 68/2009 - Products Statistics in Focus

European industrial production has increased considerably between 2003 and 2007. A small number of product groups and a small number of Member States account for a large share of sold production in the EU. This ‘Statistics in Focus' is the first dedicated to this statistical domain. It presents production and its rate of change by product group, concentrating on the top groups, and also the contribution of Member States to it.
