The growth hasn't declined:

It has levelled... but the graph you were showing wasn't growth, it was as a world percentage. In world percentage terms, the EU share has declined, but the actual output hasn't.

Obviously if you go back to 2006, the rate of growth is less, but the current 'trend' isn't declining.

In retrospect reading the initial argument I posed the graph used was not the correct one because I can't access the telegraph one I wanted any longer (asks for a subscription now) which had the decline of economic activity between the UK and the EU so I will retract that particular strand of the argument in the context of the projected decline in the eu on the basis of a world percentage.

So apologies to yourself, Chippy and Grudge for the sarcy comments - but I won't retract the premise of the argument I was making which as usual kind of gets lost on these boards- I have made a note to get the correct graph in any future posting!

There's no need for apologies on here mate - I'm learning stuff all the time. Trouble is, stats are stats, you can paint all sorts of pictures with them!
I've just been debating with someone that Peter Reid was better than Gascoigne, which I only said as a fairly outlandish comment and now I've managed to convince myself he was - with stats!
 
Whereas the B is doing pretty badly, it's worth bearing in mind that its GDP is still more than 200% up on the figure 10 years ago. These sorts of rises are impossible in developed countries, and hence the GDP of the developed world has declined as a proportion of global.
