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.
