Note:

In connection with the unification of Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and German Democratic Republic (GDR)

in October 1990, the trade figures for FRG in 1990 and previous years have been revised by adding those of the

previous GDR.This is to ensure comparability of those trade figures with those after the German unification.
