Abstract: This paper analyses the delocalisation processes in EU-27 by exploring the industry location, specialization and countries competitiveness. The analysis is based on NACE data, Division 15-37 for EU countries and results from a survey of 756 EU enterprises. We studied the structural adjustment of the industrial composition and the spatial distribution of the labour intensive industries over time. We found that the delocalisation process leads to specific spatial location of Labour intensive sector and countries clustering by different manufacture sectors. The potential benefits for the different participants in the delocalisation process are discussed. Possible future scenarios and prospects are foreseen.
