Abstract: 
We give the results of regression analysis of geocentre variations time series which are derived at the Institute of Astronomy of RAS on the basis of DORIS data for a time interval of 1999.2 to 2002.6. In addition, we present the results of analysis of geocentre variations on the basis of DORIS (IGN/JPL analysis centre) and GPS (JPL) data for ten-year period of time as well as on the basis of SLR (CSR) data for eight-year period of time. Annual and semiannual signals with amplitudes from 1.2 to 18.5 mm and some shorter periods are found for all time series. The amplitudes of some short-periodic signals are comparable with the amplitudes of semiannual signals. The secular trend of the geocentre motion with a velocity of a few millimetres per year is found.
