The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the following tables. The analysis provided does not cover all countries. The classification of low, medium and high-income countries used is based on an analysis done by the World Bank, http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/, and refers to the year 1998. In the case of imports, the country of consignment is used which is not necessarily the country of origin of the goods.
