The EU averages in the nine subsectors in the table are given in the first row of the table. The lowest values are reached in the courier services sector and the road transportation sector. First of all, the road freight sector consists of very small companies (by the number of persons employed per enterprise) and in addition, shows productivity of the lowest level. Regarding the performance issues, some countries turn out to have all comparable values under the level of the European mean. Among them are Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania. On the contrary, there is no Member State that has above average values in every sector and the productivity topic turns out to be multi-layered (44).
