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.
