database for the European Union (15).  However, with a view to providing as much up to date information 
as possible some data on total trade in textiles and cl othing and regional integrati on arrangements have been

 With the exception of Tables 5 and 16, data for the European Union exclude intra-trade.   Beginning with 2000, data for the member states of the South African Customs Union are reported 
separately.
