Over the period since 1999, Germany and France have been the European Union's largest importing countries. As they are the EU's largest member states in terms of population and gross domestic product (GDP), this is perhaps not surprising. The next three biggest importers in the union, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy all import relatively similar amounts. As Belgium and the Netherlands have smaller economies in absolute terms than Italy, their imports are a more significant part of their economy, measured as a share of GDP.
