Should the UK Leave the European Union?

[said]

As you suspected, bogus figures. Below is the genuine Eurostat 2018 share of total EU exports within the single market. I CBA looking for the other ones, but if the first one is fudged, I would imagine that they all are.

Yes, but remember - any goods that pass through the EU on route to distant countries are counted as being exported to the EU. Bit of an anomaly that!

It doesn't change the fact that on the link you provided they have falsified the intra-EU export percentages. The UK is most definitely not in 7th place with 5.5% of total exports. It's in 2nd place with 12.4%. Not beaten by Spain, which has 6%, or "just ahead" of Poland. Poland only has 2.9%

You should check stats with the original source before posting fake facts. Note that they claim their source for the figures is "Official Eurostat data for 2018"

Where did you get your information from - I sincerely hope it was not the given EU statistics.

Where statistics are involved, it is impossible to state 'fake facts' unless you know what criteria those figures are based on. Various government figures can vary considerably for any particular department because the facts used are not uniform.
