Imports, on the other hand, fell 3.5 percent, erasing previous month's gain of 3.1 percent. Month-on-month, imports dropped 2.6 percent.
Shipments increased 10.2 percent in the quarter ended in February compared to the same period last year. Imports, however, decreased 6 percent. This led to a EUR 1.83 billion decrease in the trade deficit during the period.
