TOWARDS A CONSISTENT GEO-NOMENCLATURE FOR TRADE

-ISSUES FOR DISCUSSION-

A. Introduction

Users of statistics are sometimes confused by differences in data published for country aggregates by different institutions. These differences may be due to many factors, including a different understanding of geographical groupings. For detailed trade flow data this aspect reveals of a particular importance since merchandise trade is measured by individual country, important trader or not. The Merchandise Trade Task Force has already addressed this issue as well as the Task Force on Statistics of International Trade in Services. To shed more light on different practices, OECD has conducted some investigations and has also had preliminary consultations within the Organisation across Directorates. The results of this preliminary research are summarized in this paper and issues identified requiring further investigation. The aim of this work is to develop an internally consistent approach, harmonised as much as possible with other International Organisations.

This preliminary paper on geographical nomenclatures presents main country groupings published by international organisations and highlights some issues on country allocations and zone labelling. The first part presents a list of main economic zones, which have been identified in the various international organisations. The second part focuses on country allocation issues. The third part summarises feedback received from the OECD Trade Directorate and Task Force on Services. Finally, the Annex lists the sources used and the description of contents of Economic Zones1.

B. A comparison of Geo-Nomenclatures

1 Synopsis of Economic Zones currently published by International Organisations Different databases and projects, such as Globalisation Indicators, the Trade Indicators Project, the current OECD Geographical Nomenclature used for merchandise trade statistics, more detailed breakdowns available for Trade in Services by partner country, BoP and FDI statistics, but also other specialised datasets like OECDs Tariff & Trade database occasionally use different country groupings and zone labelling.

In addition, recent political and economic events have led to the independence of countries hitherto grouped together under a Union or , or to the re-unification (Germany) of two separate states, or to the creation of or a new or new name for an existing state. This makes comparisons over longer time periods difficult and may result in misleading results by comparing aggregates whose composition has been changed.

The following table summarizes the current situation with respect to the treatment of economic zones for six International Organisations and for 4 different databases at OECD.

Other specialised country groupings (such as the Cairn's group for agricultural products) are not included in this list.

The table reveals significant differences in the use of economic zones. Also within zones and groupings, differences exist as to the allocation of countries. These differences requiring clarification are summarized in the section below.

2 COUNTRY ALLOCATION ISSUES

Delegates are invited to express their views on the following issues: a) Which consistent treatment should be applied to countries of the former Soviet Union?

¾ Should Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan be part of Asia?

¾ Concerning Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, organisations follow different allocation practice : • EUROSTAT : Near and Middle East • COMTRADE : Former USSR, Asia • WTO: C. /E. //CIS (includes all ex. USSR countries such as Uzbekistan etc.). • OECD services trade: Near and middle East : (OECD follows BOP EUROSTAT classifications together with some adaptations for non European countries) • OECD MERCHANDISE TRADE ITCS : Near and Middle East • UNCTAD: : (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) b) Concerning North African countries:

¾ Should Egypt and Libya be part of Africa or Middle East?

¾ Libya and Mauritania should be included in the zone Maghreb (currently : Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) in order to be aligned with the Economic zone Maghreb Arab Union (UMA) c) Other issues

¾ Should OECD create a separate code for metropolitan France FXX ?

¾ Consistent treatment for other countries such as the USA (inclusion or not of Virgin Island, Puerto Rico..), France etc…

C. Questions to Experts:

In the light of the above first comparison, the Secretariat would like to clarify with the help from delegates the following questions:

™ Is it felt that other country groupings are needed? For instance, in analytical trade-related work, the following groupings can be found: - Landlocked countries (UNCTAD) and/or Landlocked Developing Countries (M49) - Small Island Economies (identical to “Small Island Devloping States” in M49?) - Highly Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) - Sub Saharia Africa - Middle East and North Africa

7 STD/NAES/TASS/ITS(2003)8

™ How can we obtain convergence with respect to the allocation of the countries? Should UNSD’s M49 publication "Standard Country or Area Codes for Statistical Use" (ST/ESA/STAT/SER.M/49/REV.4) be considered as THE standard? The latest revision, Rev.4, was published in 1999 and is updated regularly in English and French on the Division's website (http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49.htm). The publication is multilingual, i.e. all six UN languages are published in the same book. Some corrigenda for M49, Rev.4 have been issued for some of the language versions. The Internet M49 list shows the numerical country or area codes used by UNSD, as well as the 3-character alpha codes assigned by the ISO. The list also includes geographical and their definition in terms of member countries. This site is permanently updated.

™ It is desirable that country groupings are consistent between International Organisations and - in principle - also across different databases

™ Should the trade in goods and trade in services geo-nomenclature be identical ? One could certainly aim at target definitions of groupings. International Merchandise Trade Statistics are based upon the M49 , but has to adapt M49 to specific trade needs. For instance, customs-based data is only since 1998 separately available for Belgium and Luxembourg. Before, only data for the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union was available. Since Luxembourg can not provide a complete historical data set, breaks and gaps in series occur. France includes in its customs statistics the overseas departments, “DOM”, but excludes the overseas , “TOM”. The question , thus, arises how to reconcile the political or economic territory with the statistical territory.

™ To what extent FDI and FATS data should align geo-nomenclature with trade in goods and services? Which problems could be foreseen?

™ Is the label " Near and Middle East" appropriate?

™ Are the groupings based on economic agreements more appropriate than geographical groupings (e.g. : ANCOM for ANDEAN common Market or ANDEAN ) ?
