Notes:
(1) Source for the majority of the figures is the International Monetary Fund. Exchange rates between currencies are calculated at mid 2009 rates.
(2) Figures are rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(3) All EU Governments are facing financial problems and it would be realistic to assume that almost all of the above defence budgets will fall by at least 20 per cent during 2011.
(4) The above figures are not authoritative and had been taken from a number of sources. Many EU countries use different accounting systems to show their defence budgets and the above figures should only be treated as a reasonable guide.
