  1. The euro area (EA18) includes Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Latvia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.
The European Union (EU28) includes Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
  1. Compared with News Release 41/2014 of 18 March 2014, the trade balance for January 2014 has been revised from +0.9 bn euro to +0.8 bn for the EA18 and from -13.0 bn to -13.3 bn for the EU28.
  2. This News Release is based on data available on 10 April 2014. These are provisional figures based on information provided by Member States. They are subject to frequent revision for up to two years after the month in question. Furthermore, national concepts may differ from the harmonised methodology used by Eurostat, leading to differences between figures in this release and those published nationally, both for raw data and for seasonally adjusted series.
  3. Since the introduction of Intrastat for intra-EU trade on 1 January 1993, the value of dispatches has been consistently higher than that of arrivals. In theory, as dispatches are declared FOB and arrivals CIF, the value of arrivals should be slightly higher than that of dispatches. Eurostat uses dispatches as the more reliable measure of total intra-EU trade as, at aggregated levels, total dispatches has better coverage than total arrivals. Due to this divergence in intra-EU trade, and to the difficulties of interpreting figures in absolute terms at the level of individual Member States, trade balances for individual Member States must be interpreted with caution. The same caution applies to the trade balance of the euro area, which includes some intra-EU trade.

Annex - Seasonally adjusted data
Seasonally adjusted series have been calculated using a harmonised methodology. The seasonally adjusted series give a complementary view of the monthly developments in trade. Seasonally adjusted figures may not match those published by Member States due to differences in the raw data3, in the choice of seasonal adjustment model and to the use of series in national currency or in euro.

15 April 2014

Unemployment in the EU28 regions in 2013
Regional unemployment rates ranged from 2.6% in Oberbayern to 36.3% in Andalucía

Regional unemployment rates1 varied widely across the 272 NUTS 2 regions2 of the EU28 in 2013, with the lowest rates recorded in the regions of Oberbayern in Germany (2.6%), Freiburg in Germany and Salzburg in Austria (both 2.9%), Tübingen in Germany and Tirol in Austria (both 3.0%), while the highest rates were registered in five Spanish regions: Andalucía (36.3%), Ceuta (35.6%), Melilla (34.4%), Canarias (34.1%) and Extremadura (33.7%).
Among the regions, 49 had an unemployment rate of 5.4% or less in 2013, half the average for the EU28 (10.8%). They included twenty-three regions in Germany, eight each in Austria and the United Kingdom, three each in the Czech Republic and Romania, two in Belgium and one each in Italy and the Netherlands. At the other extreme, 27 regions had a rate higher than 21.6%, double that of the EU28: thirteen regions in Spain, ten in Greece, three French Overseas Departments3 and one region in Italy.
These data4 on regional unemployment, compiled on the basis of the EU Labour Force Survey, are published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
Youth unemployment rates varied from 4.4% in Oberbayern and Tübingen to 70.6% in Dytiki Makedonia and 72.7% in Ceuta
In 2013, the average unemployment rate for young people1 aged between 15 and 24 in the EU28 was 23.4%. Regional differences in the unemployment rate for young people are however very marked. In the EU28 in 2013, the lowest rates for young people were recorded in the German regions of Oberbayern and Tübingen (both 4.4%) and Freiburg (4.7%), and the highest in Ceuta (72.7%) in Spain and Dytiki Makedonia (70.6%) and Ipeiros (67.0%) in Greece. In more than three quarters of the EU28 regions, the unemployment rate for young people was at least twice that for total unemployment.

In more than a quarter of the regions, the majority of the unemployed had been out of work for at least a year
The long-term unemployment share, which is defined as the percentage of unemployed persons who have been unemployed for 12 months or more, stood at 47.5% on average in the EU28 in 2013, and varied significantly across the regions. In the EU28 in 2013, the lowest shares of long-term unemployed were recorded in six Swedish regions: Övre Norrland (12.4%), Mellersta Norrland (13.1%), Norra Mellansverige (16.3%), Västsverige (17.2%), Småland med öarna (17.3%) and Stockholm (17.5%), and the highest in the French Overseas Departments of Guadeloupe (79.5%) and Guyane (77.6%) and Východné Slovensko (74.9%) in Slovakia.

( ) Data with reduced reliability due to sample size.

  1. The unemployment rate is defined as the percentage of unemployed persons aged 15-74 in the economically active population. According to the recommendations of the International Labour Organisation, a person is deemed to be unemployed if all three of the following conditions are met:
  • he or she is without work during the survey reference week;
  • he or she is available for work, being able to take up employment within two weeks;
  • he or she has actively sought work over the past four weeks.
In particular, it should be noted that the youth unemployment rate does not reflect the proportion of all young people who are unemployed, as not every young person participates in the labour market. Labour market participation of young persons varies by country and region in the EU28, which influences the proportion of unemployed people in the total youth population. For further details please refer to the Youth unemployment article in Statistics Explained:
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/statistics_explained/index.php/Youth_unemployment
The EU28 average is calculated as the average of the regional values. The figures may slightly differ from the EU unemployment rate published in the Eurostat database, for which methodological breaks (see footnotes 5 and 6) have been corrected.
  1. These data are based on the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) as modified in January 2011. NUTS 2010 provides a uniform, consistent breakdown of territorial units for the production of regional statistics for the EU. Level 2 of the nomenclature has 272 regions: Belgium (11), Bulgaria (6), the Czech Republic (8), Denmark (5), Germany (38), Ireland (2), Greece (13), Spain (19), France (26), Croatia (2), Italy (21), Hungary (7), the Netherlands (12), Austria (9), Poland (16), Portugal (7), Romania (8), Slovenia (2), Slovakia (4), Finland (5), Sweden (8) and the United Kingdom (37). Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg and Malta are all considered as single regions at NUTS 2 level. For a list of the European statistical regions see:
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/introduction.
The statistical regions in the candidate and EFTA countries follow the principles of the NUTS classification; however there is no legal base. There are 44 regions in these countries at Level 2: Norway (7), Switzerland (7), and Turkey (26). Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are all considered as single regions at Level 2.
  1. Data for French Overseas Departments (Guadelope, Martinique, Guyane and Réunion) refer to the second quarter of 2013.
  2. For further regional data, please see the Eurostat web site:
  1. For Estonia and Austria there is a break in the series between 2012 and 2013 due to census revisions.
  2. INSEE, the French Statistical Office, has carried out an extensive revision of the Labour Force Survey questionnaire. The new questionnaire was used from 1 January 2013 onwards. It impacts significantly the level of the French indicators mentioned in this release. Detailed information on these methodological changes and their impact is available in INSEE's website http://www.insee.fr/fr/themes/info-rapide.asp?id=14 Box "Pour en savoir plus". Due to this revision, comparisons with the past should be avoided.
