" Intra-regional trade accounts for a smaller share of total trade in commercial services than for merchandise trade in both the EU and NAFTA. For the EU the share of intra-trade in commercial services was 55% in 2000, roughly unchanged from the early 1990s. For NAFTA, the share in 2000 was, at less than one quarter of total services trade, about half the rate recorded for merchandise trade. "
European Union Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural development and Fisheries, Franz Fischler  22 October 2001
