European production climbs in April 2011There was a 0.1 per cent rise in industrial production within the European Union (EU) during April 2011, new data show.

According to figures published by Eurostat, the eurozone also saw a month-on-month climb in output of 0.2 per cent over the period.

The EU statistical office noted that this followed a dip of 0.2 per cent in industrial production across the 27 member states in March.

Year-on-year, activity was 4.7 per cent higher across the region as a whole and expanded by 5.2 per cent within those nations that have adopted the euro.

Production of durable and non-durable and capital goods all climbed from March, but output of intermediate goods dropped across the EU and production of energy was also down.

However, those considering taking operations training courses are advised the statistics showed a 1.6 per cent decline in UK industrial production during the month.

Monster Europe recently reported significant jobs gains in the European manufacturing sector over the past few months, although the UK's service-based economy was found to be lagging behind many other states.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800581037-ADNFCR
