Eurostat Figures




A very good free source of Industry Information about different European countries.

This is a 448 page document which is likely to be of relevance to Web 2.0 applications as well as many other topics.

Eurostat uses NACE codes, rather than SIC codes which are familiar from the FAME database.

Nonetheless, free-text searching for a particular industry seems to work quite well.

I tried it out for steel, plastics, and tourism and was encouraged by the results.
