In January 2017 the 28 EU countries imported goods worth € 772 bn (an increase of 543% compared with January 2016). With the removal of most of the sanctions at the end of January 2016, Iran again started the export of oil to Europe. That is the reason for the high growth rates in Iranian exports to some EU countries. Major Iranian exports to the European Union go to Italy, which imported goods worth € 257 mn from Iran (+759%), Spain (€ 116 mn, + 601%), France (€ 111 mn, + 3,708%) and Greece (€ 106 mn, 4,142%). Germany did not import oil from Iran and now holds 7th place with imports worth 27 million Euro (-4%). http://marin-consult.com
