Over the last ten years there has been significant growth in trade of goods with a dip in 2009. Even though it picked up after this, growth has been significantly slower. The European Union’s 27 Member States’ exports rose from EUR 136.2 billion in 2011 to EUR 143.9 billion in 2012 (up 5.6 per cent year-on-year) and imports fell from EUR 292 billion in 2011 to EUR 289.7 billion in 2012 (down 0.8 per cent) resulting in a decline in the EU’s trade deficit with China. Europe's trade deficit with China is mainly caused by sectors like office and telecommunication equipment, shoes and textiles, and iron and steel.
