IV. SOURCES
The principal source of the statistics is the UNSD Comtrade database.  However, with a view to
providing as much up to date information as possible some data on total trade in textiles and clothing and
regional integration arrangements have been estimated  by the Secretariat on the basis of national returns
and trading partner statistics.  The tables on world trade (Tables 1 and 12) are derived from the
Secretariat's world trade network.
Data for the European Union exclude intra-trad e.  The aggregate has been derived from the
addition of individual member states' data which are not strictly comparable with regard to definitions of
trade (special or general), and of countrie s of origin (provenance) and destination.
Beginning with 2000, data for the member states  of the South African Customs Union are
reported separately.
