Introduction
The European Defence Agency collects defence data on an annual basis. The Ministries of Defence of the Agencys 27 participating Member States (pMS)1 provide the data. EDA acts as the custodian of the data and publishes the aggregated figures in this booklet. The data are broken down, based on a list of indicators approved by the Agencys Ministerial Steering Board. This list has four sections, represented in the headings of the booklet: General: macro-economic data to show how defence budgets relate to GDP and overall government spending. Reform: major categories of defence budget spending personnel; investment, including R&T; operation and maintenance and others to show what defence budgets are spent on. European collaboration: for defence equipment procurement and R&T to show to what extent the Agencys pMS are investing together. Deployability: military deployed in crisis management operations to show the ratio between deployments and total military personnel. In November 2007, the Ministerial Steering Board approved
1. All EU Member States except Denmark. Data in this publication does not include Croatia which became the 27th EDA Member State on 1 July 2013. 3
four collective benchmarks for investment: Equipment procurement (including R&D/R&T): 20% of total defence spending European collaborative equipment procurement: 35% of total equipment spending Defence R&T: 2% of total defence spending European collaborative defence R&T: 20% of total defence R&T spending These benchmarks are collective: they apply to the total sum spent by all pMS together. They are voluntary: turning them into national targets is optional. There are no timelines for realising these benchmarks. In its final section, this brochure provides the results of the collective benchmarks. The definitions used for the gathering of the data and some general caveats are listed at the end of the brochure.
1. Data in this publication does not include Croatia which became the 27th EDA Member State on 1 July 2013, and Denmark which is not an EDA Member State. 2. In order to measure real growth and ensure a real comparison between years, inflation needs to be taken into account. Thus, data from 2006 to 2011 has been inflated to 2012 economic conditions (Source of deflator: European Commission ECFIN based on weight of EU 27). 3. R&T is a subset of R&D which includes only basic research, applied research and technology demonstration, leaving out expenditure for demonstration or development for which a decision to procure has been taken.
10% while European collaboration increased by 16.5% and accounted for 95.5% of total collaborative equipment procurement. As for R&T, expenditure on collaborative projects and programmes decreased by almost 15% during the same period. European collaborative R&T expenditure experienced an even sharper decrease of 38% and accounted for 67.6% of total collaborative R&T expenditure.
operations decreased by 8% to 10.8 billion or 5.7% of total defence expenditure. Operations costs per military deployed also marginally decreased for the first time and stood at 217000 in 2012.
Number of military personnel continues to drop while expenditure and investment per military increases
2012 saw the sixth consecutive reduction in military personnel (77.5% of total staff working in defence, the lowest ratio since 2006) and decreased by 6.3% to 1.45 million. On the other hand, the number of civilian personnel increased for the first time since 2006 by 12.8% to 422 315. Whilst military personnel numbers reduced, defence expenditure per military increased by over 6% reaching 130 457. Defence investment per military also increased by over 12% and stood at 26 821.

EDA receives the data from the Ministries of Defence of the 27 pMS. On occasions the data can be revised and this may have an impact on the overall aggregated figures. In order to have the most up-to-date data please check EDAs website for updates: http://www.eda.europa.eu/ Data on GDP, General Government Expenditure and Population have been collected from Eurostat. However, this data is occasionally revised which may impact some of the data calculated by EDA. The data provided is at aggregate level which can produce different figures from other sources due to rounding.
For some spending categories, a margin of error exists as accounting systems in the pMS differ. Nevertheless, the presented data represents the best publicly available figures. Comparisons are made for 2006 to 2012. It should be noted that more firm trend analysis will only be possible after several years of data-gathering. Significant changes in the exchange rates with the Euro has had a considerable impact on the 2008 data; the lower amount of defence expenditure is partly caused by significant drops of some of the pMS' currency exchange rates to the Euro.
Definitions
Data collection is based on definitions approved by the pMS. The definitions below have been shortened and edited for this publication.
Macroeconomic data: GDP, General Government Expendi ture and Population are based on data from Eurostat. Total defence expenditure is defined as total Minis try of Defence (MoD) expenditure and defence related expenditure from other sources (other Ministries special budgetary lines). Civilian personnel: the authorised strength of all civilian personnel on 31 December of each year employed by all military establishments and the armed forces. Military personnel: the authorised strengths of all active military personnel on 31 December of each year. P ersonnel expenditure: all personnel-related expenditure for military and civilian personnel, including from non-MoD sources. D efence equipment procurement expenditure: expenditure for all major equipment categories. R esearch and Development (R&D): any R&D programmes up to the point where expenditure for production of equipment starts to be incurred. R esearch and Technology (R&T): expenditure for basic research, applied research and technology demonstration for defence purposes. It is a subset of R&D. Investment: Equipment procurement and R&D (including R&T) expenditure. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) expenditure: covers O&M (spare parts and supplies) of major equipment, other equipment and supplies, and costs related to maintaining utilities and infrastructure. O ther expenditure: all other expenditure that cannot be attributed to any of the above categories. O utsourcing: defence expenditure for which services have been contracted at central level with service suppliers from outside the MoD and/or Armed Forces. European Collaboration (a subset of Collaboration): agreement by at least two EU Member States Ministries of Defence for project or programme contracts. Possible nonEU partners share in such contracts is lower than 50%. Other collaborative expenditure: all collaborative expenditure that does not fall under the European Collaboration definition. A verage number of troops deployed: average number of troops deployed throughout the year (all Armed Forces). D eployable (land) forces: (land) forces troops prepared for deployed operations (the NATO 50% target). Sustainable (land) forces: (land) forces troops under taking or planned for sustained operations (the NATO 10% target). Operations costs: all national expenditure to cover incre mental (extra) costs linked to deployed operations outside the EU Member States territory.
