In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing where Romania fits into the world market for imported and exported vaccines, antisera, and other blood fractions. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for Romania in particular, is estimated using a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number
