The pie chart illustrates the expenditure of the EU in 2001 across five specific sectors: Agriculture, Regional Aid, Foreign Aid, Administration, and Research. The
category labeled as Other encompasses unspecified expenses. Agriculture and Regional Aid accounted for the majority of the EU’s budget in 2001, while the figure for both Administration and Research accounted for relatively little in comparison.
The combined spending on Agriculture and Regional Aid constituted three-quarters of the EU’s total expenditure that year. Agriculture had the highest allocation at 42%, followed by Regional Aid at 31%, which was approximately 10% less than Agriculture. In contrast, Administration and Research received notably lower allocations.
The remaining sectors constituted a quarter of the EU’s budget. Foreign Aid received 9% of the total expenditure, significantly lower than Regional Aid. Administration and Research were allocated 7% and 6%, respectively. The least amount of money was spent on unspecified sectors, accounting for only 5% of the budget.
