An EU27 surplus in trade in goods with India of 3.2 bn euro in 2007
Between 2000 and 2007, EU27 trade in goods with India more than doubled
in value: exports rose from 13.7 billion euro to 29.5 bn, while imports
increased from 12.8 bn to 26.3 bn. As a result, the EU27 surplus in
trade with India increased from 0.8 bn in 2000 to 3.2 bn in 2007. This
increased surplus was mainly due to a surplus in manufactured goods,
which rose from 0.9 bn in 2000 to 4.7 bn in 2007. India accounted in
2007 for 2.4% of EU27 exports and 1.8% of EU27 imports, and was the
EU27's 9th most important trading partner.
On the occasion of the European Union - India summit, which will take place on 29 September in Marseille in France, Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, issues data on trade and investments between India and the EU.

At the detailed level, the main EU27 exports to India were unworked diamonds and airplanes, while the main imports were worked diamonds.
