Statistics in focus: Innovation in the European Union
The European Commission's Statistical Office, EUROSTAT, has published an edition of its "Statistics in focus" bulletin covering innovation in the European Union. The bulletin contains information taken from the Community Innovation Survey held in 1993 across the then 12 EC Member States and Norway, with some 40,000 enterprises surveyed. In particular, information is provided on the importance of financial barriers to innovation, the share of non-RTD expenditures in total innovation expenditures, and innovation by size of enterprise.
