Exports of goods from the EU27 to Brazil fell to 21.6 billion euro in 2009, down from the peak of 26.3 bn in 2008. Imports fell to 25.7 bn in 2009, after 35.9 bn in 2008. This led to a decreasing EU27 deficit in trade in goods with Brazil, from 9.6 bn in 2008 to 4.1 bn in 2009. It should be noted that the fall in the value of EU27 trade with Brazil recorded between 2008 and 2009 is in line with the general downward trend in the EU27's total external trade over the same period.
