Abstract

Internationalisation is one of the key factors of European economic development. As WTO-statistics show, world foreign trade volumes grew from US-$ 280 billion in 1970 to US-$ 8,900 in 2004 and the direct investment volumes grew from US-$ 520 billion in 1980 to 8,200 in 2003 (UNCTAD estimates a slight but steady increase for 2004; UNCTAD 2005; WTO 2005). As generally known, they are both dependent on each other: Direct investments involve trade activities and vice versa. This fact can be observed in the last decade in Japan. The former world champion in exporting is today ranked fourth among the leading exporting countries behind the USA, Germany and China.
