Abstract: This report displays figures on preference utilisation rates (PURs) and actual and foregone duty savings of EU exports by partner country, broad product category and Member State. Based on data for the latest calendar year available (mainly 2016) for 18 partner countries with which the EU has free trade agreements (FTAs), it shows that the overall PUR stands at 77.4% with significant variations across country-pairs and products. Similarly, the report shows that duty savings of EU exports under the FTAs totalled €11.5 billion in that year. An approximate additional €3.5 billion could have been saved if the FTAs had been fully used.
