GAINS IN CHEMICAL OUTPUT CONTINUE

摘要

Production grew among the major chemical-producing countries in 2006, as worldwide economies maintained their increases of the past several years.rnThe European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), which follows the European region as a whole rather than individual countries, notes that chemical production, excluding pharmaceuticals, grew by 1.9% in the region. This was better than growth that occurred in 2005 and above the long-term average, the trade association says.
