Exports of Slate in the EU Decreased Slightly
Total exports of slate in the EU amounted to X tonnes in 2016; after a sharp fall over 2008-2009, which was due to a slump in contruction industry during the global financial crisis, it bounced back and then leveled off through to 2016, with somewhat wild fluctuations in certain years.
