manufacturers, distributors, merchants, trade associations etc, as well
as a wide range of secondary information and officially published
statistics.
There is certainly evidence of
Europe being viewed more as a unit, though still composed of markets
with different characteristics. For example, all countries have a
varying mix of international and local merchant operations, often
resulting in a growing polarisation of market structure and the
emergence of buying groups. Similarly, building material supply is
becoming more Pan-European in response to changing market structures and
purchasing requirements.
