§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
What has been the cost of NATO's military operations against Yugoslavia since 24 March and how, in the long run, the costs of these operations are to be divided up between the members of NATO, particularly the costs of the provision of equipment and services to NATO members' forces by the United States. [HL1940]
§ The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Lord Gilbert)The total cost of NATO's military operations against Yugoslavia has yet to be determined. Individual nations will, however, be expected to bear the costs associated with their own military activity in support of Kosovo-related operations. NATO common costs, covering the activities of NATO bodies and formations, will be apportioned in accordance with established cost share arrangements.
