Intra and extra-Eu purchases
Total imports for EU of 15 by volume (1998), in ' 000 T

		The countries of Europe are mainly importers of synthetic filaments and cotton yarn. The poroportion of purchases made outside the European Union is larger, overall, than is the case for exports sales and reaches 50 %, or almost, in the case of cotton and discontinuous fibres yarns. This share remains very low, on the other hand, in the case of woolen yarns.
		Total E.U. of 15 all fibres: 2802 (+7% /1997)		Cotton   Discontinuous synthetic fibres   Discontinuous artificial fibres   Woolen yarns   Worsted yarns   Continuous-filament synthetic yarns   Continuous-filament artificial yarns   Linen   Hand-knitting yarn
		Share of purchases outside the community/fibres (% of total exports) : total all fibres = 40%
