Furthermore, it shows both the share of products made in the Netherlands as the re-exports of this chapter. Data available from 1996 to 2021. Status of the figures: The figures are definite. Changes as of April 11, 2025: None, this table has been discontinued. The output concept and underlying methodology used no longer meet current standards. When will new figures be published?
