With the referendum over whether or not the UK should leave the EU or not I am interested to know what percentage of UK trade is made up of trade within the EU (Imports & exports).
I am aware that the UK Government currently runs a trade deficit with the EU, and a ultimately a trade deficit in general.
My question is, how much of UK trade is within the EU, and how much of this is imports/exports in the economic year 2015-2016? An objective link proving this would be excellent.
Apologies for the 'trade deficit with EU' link being far from ideal, but as you can imagine, it is hard to find solid fact among the propaganda.
& To clarify, I do not want people's opinion on whether the UK should remain or not. I am in the process of forming my own opinion based on the objective information I come across.
And as always, thank you to those that take the time to answer!
