The value of exports increased in July 2012 compared with the previous month while the value of imports decreased. The value of exports is the second highest ever since the OTS was first published separately for non-EU countries in 1993. The value of imports is at its lowest level since February of this year. Consequently the difference between non-EU imports and exports has decreased to its lowest value since December 2009. This decrease in the trade gap is the largest monthly decrease since February 2011.
