Europe in figures - Eurostat yearbook 2009 - presents a comprehensive selection of statistical data on Europe. Most data cover the period 1997-2007 for the European Union and some indicators are provided for other countries such as candidate countries to the European Union, members of EFTA, Japan or the United States (subject to availability). Europe in figures is divided into an introduction, 16 main chapters and a set of annexes. The main chapters contain data and/or background information relating to particular topics, starting with a spotlight chapter on creativity and innovation - the theme of the European year 2009. With just over 500 statistical tables, graphs and maps, the yearbook treats the following areas: the economy, population, education, health, living conditions and welfare, the labour market, industry and services, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, external trade, transport, the environment, energy, science and technology and Europe's regions.
