FOREWORD
1. Purpose and Scope
The Economic Intelligence Statistical Handbook,
1974 provides statistics for selected non-Communist
countries and all the Communist countries.
In general, the data in the Handbook are for
1965-73. Summary tables are presented for the
United States, Japan, the European Community,
the USSR, Eastern Europe, and China. Footnotes
have been used liberally to give definitions, excep-
tions, and methodology. Footnotes to the com-
modity tables give more detailed definitions of the
data than those appearing for the commodities on
the summary tables.
2. Rounding of the Totals
The totals have been rounded, with some ex-
ceptions, to three significant digits. In general,
zeros appearing after the last nonzero number
following the decimal point are not significant
but are used merely for consistency in presenta-
tion, and, because of rounding, components may
not add to the totals shown. Totals are not pre-
sented if missing data are believed to represent a
significant part of the total.
3. Symbols
The abbreviation N.A. (not available) is used
when information about the existence of the data
or the magnitude of the data are not available, and
the abbreviation Negl. (negligible) is used when
the magnitude of the data is less than half of the
final unit employed for each table. The metric
system is used throughout.
4. Classification of Data
The overall classification of the Handbook is
Confidential/
Tables in which all of the data are
Confidential have been identified accordingly. Con-
fidential data, however, frequently occur on the re-
verse of the page, and, therefore, caution should be
exercised if pages are removed from this Handbook.
5. Sources
The data given for the most recent years are
frequently preliminary and subject to revision. The
data for the Communist countries are estimates of
this Office, official data from the country cited, or
estimates made by other organizations. The data
for the non-Communist countries are from publica-
tions of the United Nations and the Organiza-
tion for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), are from unclassified publications of
other international organizations or individual
countries, or are estimates of this Office.
6. Terms
Unless otherwise indicated, the term Communist
Countries includes the USSR, the countries of
Eastern Europe, China, North Korea, North Viet-
nam, Albania, Cuba, and Yugoslavia; the term
Eastern Europe includes Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia,
East Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The
term European Community includes Belgium, Den-
mark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the

many. The term developed countries includes the
European Community, Austria, Finland, Iceland,

tralia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa,
and the United States. The term Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development includes
Greece, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and all the de-
veloped countries, except Liechtenstein and South
Africa. The term less developed countries includes
the following non-Communist countries: (1) all
countries of Africa except the Republic of South
Africa, (2) all countries of East Asia except Japan,
( 3) Portugal and Spain in Europe, (4) all countries
in Latin America, and (5) all countries in the
Middle East and South Asia.

have been included in the data for West Germany
for all years, unless otherwise indicated. Totals for
the country groupings may or may not include all
of the countries listed above, depending on the
commodity or services listed.
