Mr. Brooke

Information concerning all member states' gross contributions to the EEC budget is contained in the "Official Journal of the European Communities—Court of Auditor's Report", OJ 87/C336, 15 December 1987, a copy of which is available in the Library. Table 19 of the report (on page 177) presents information on gross contributions made by individual member states for the period 1982 to 1986 inclusive, broken down into the categories requested. Similar information is contained in the annual statements on the Community budget, the most recent of which was published last July as Cm. 194.
