What the source says

Although the EU27 maintained a substantial chemical trade surplus in value terms (€18.4 bn in H1 2026), it narrowed as exports fell faster than imports.

Checked: the figure 18.4 billion EUR is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
