In 2014, our exports to non-EU countries have increased their share in Spanish

exports from 27.5% of the total in 2005 to 36.6% in 2014, despite the economic

Exports to North America increased by 22.0% year-on-year (U.S. by 22.6% and Canada by

18.6%)

To Asia by 9.0%, (remarkably Taiwan 109.4%, South Korea 83.6%, Japan 18.4% and

favorable fiscal incentives for R&D among OECD countries.

regime 60% of net income arising from the letting of the right to use certain qualifying

intellectual property (IP) rights are tax-exempt.
