GERMANY and France are among the European Union heavyweights
shortchanging NATO by tens of billions of pounds as the UK and US prop
up European defence, a damning new report has revealed.

In total EU member states have underfunded NATO by a total of £339
billion over the past five years - a staggering amount.

The shocking report, titled €˜What the European Union owes the United
Kingdom, said Germany was the biggest offender, owing £107 billion over
the past five years.

Meanwhile Italy owed £68 billion, Spain £56 billion, the Netherlands £48
billion and France £18 billion.

And the report also defended Britain amid claims Brexit will harm EU
security, saying the UK is actually propping up other member states'
military spending.
