Hello, John McDonnell here, with your latest issue of Really Useful Sites for 
International Trade Professionals. This week I found a site to get you up and 
running in the Danish market. I also found a site where you can get quick 
demographic information about any country in the world. Plus, I have a site 
that New York Times reporters use for research -- and you can too! Finally, I 
have a site with articles about every facet of exporting, in an easy-to-use 
format. 
If you'd like more information about international trade, go to FITA's 
International Trade/ Import-Export Portal <http://fita.org> ( http://fita.org 
), an excellent source for trade leads, news, events, and a link library of 
7,000 sites related to international trade.


DENMARK -- OUR FEATURED COUNTRY
http://www.ibrc.bschool.ukans.edu/country/europe/denmark.html

Denmark has a long history of international trade. After all, this is a country 
that was once home to the Vikings, who traded as far east as Central Asia and 
as far south as the Mediterranean. Some of their trade was a little one-sided, 
of course (it was more "raid" than "trade"), but they did realize the value of 
importing. Today, Denmark has a thoroughly modern market economy with a high 
dependence on foreign trade. If you'd like to learn more about opportunities 
for trade with Denmark, go to the Denmark page at the University of Kansas 
International Business Resource Connection 
<http://www.ibrc.bschool.ukans.edu/country/europe/denmark.html> ( 
http://www.ibrc.bschool.ukans.edu/country/europe/denmark.html ). Here you'll 
find links to information about Denmark business protocol, negotiating, 
customs, trade regulations, investing, health advisories, travel tips, 
currency, market conditions, and much more. 

There are many more links to Denmark at the FITA site. Go to FITA's 
International Trade Web Resources <http://fita.org/webindex/index.html> at 
http://fita.org/webindex/index.html, click on Regional Resources and 
Multi-Lateral Trading Areas in the left column, then scroll down to Europe and 
click on Denmark in the drop-down box. Or simply type "Denmark" in the search 
box at http://www.fita.org <http://fita.org/>. There are some great books on 
trade with Europe in the FITA Global Trade Bookstore 
<http://fita.org/marketplace/eurobooks.php>, including Exporting to Scandinavia 
<http://fita.org/marketplace/product.php?asin=0749426918>. 

POPULATION DATABASE
http://esa.un.org/unpp/

If you need some quick demographic data for a country or region of the world, 
go to the UN's World Population Prospects Population Database 
<http://esa.un.org/unpp/> ( http://esa.un.org/unpp ). At this easy-to- use site 
you can get population figures for any country in such categories as: Infant 
Mortality, Urban and Rural Population, Median Age, Growth Rate, Fertility Rate, 
and Life Expectancy, to name just a few. It's fast, accurate, and has official 
UN data.

CYBER TIMES NAVIGATOR
http://www.nytimes.com/ref/technology/cybertimes-navigator.html?%20pagewanted=all&position=top/

I've worked in newsrooms, and I learned that reporters always know the best 
sources for research. That's why I recommend Cyber Times Navigator 
<http://www.nytimes.com/ref/technology/cybertimes-navigator.html?%20pagewanted=all&position=top/>
 ( http://www.nytimes.com/ref/technology/cybertimes-navigator.html ) for anyone 
who's doing Web research. Cyber Times Navigator is used by the newsroom of The 
New York Times as a portal for Web searches, and it's a great place to start 
your research. It has quality links with brief descriptions of each one, and 
it's updated frequently. You'll find links to the best search engines, 
reference sources, telephone directories, online publications, travel sites, 
government agencies, e-commerce (product reviews, discounts, etc.) weather 
reports, economic data, entertainment info, and sports scores here. You must 
register to use Cyber Times Navigator, but it's free. 

EXPORT AMERICA MAGAZINE
http://www.export.gov/exportamerica

I haven't worn neck jewelry since my disco days, but I just learned that should 
I ever get nostalgic and drape a gold chain around my neck, it better not be in 
Saudi Arabia. That's because the wearing of neck jewelry is prohibited by law 
in that country, and Westerners have been arrested for this offense. I learned 
this tidbit from Export America Magazine <http://www.export.gov/exportamerica/> 
( http://www.export.gov/exportamerica ). This online magazine is full of useful 
information about exporting, and although it's published by the U.S. Department 
of Commerce, exporters everywhere will find it fascinating. There are articles 
on: doing business in the Middle East; international trade scams and 
corruption; freight forwarders, customs brokers, and incoterms; marketing and 
selling online; delivering customer service in global trade; market conditions 
in countries worldwide; and much more. You can view the files in PDF or HTML 
format.
