In the other hand, France and Italy had a more similar swing along the years, with Italy facing a small decrease of budget in the year 1999, from somewhere below 60 to slightly under 50 million US dollars, while France faced no decline within the time span.
In contrast, Austria had the biggest fluctuations, from 40 million US dollars in the year 2001, to 60 million US dollars in 2003, and then continued to increase more than 70 million US dollars by the end of 2005.
