a. I don’t like the title because it is not explanatory. Most significant mean large by value of trade so we should make a direct reference to this concept b. Similarly to the high tech note we are only presenting data on absolute values of large trade goods but we should also give a sense of their relative importance with respect to over trade flows and to economic flows (value added, production etc) c. Do we have indicators of employment and their weight in the sectors from other sources such as economic census data or STS? d. Figure 2 is wrong. We cannot use line charts if the time variable is not continuous and is not equally spaced. This gives a wrong message that the distance between the points on the x axis is the same across points while it is not. We should use bar charts instead
