The diagram illustrates the evolution of the average growth of domestic products among all European countries over a span of 10

years

. Clearly, the data experiences fluctuations in

this

period, characterized by an alternating trend in the first 4

years

, a relatively stable rise in the following 3

years

, and dramatic changes in the

last

3-year period. To be more specific, the data starts from 4.1% in 2000, after several

years

of evolution, and stops at 5.5% in 2004. From 2004 to 2007, the general GDP has steadily grown by 0.7, fixed at 6.2%.
