In the 3rd quarter of 2015, Greece's national debt amounted to 171 percent of the gross domestic product. The overall EU GDP amounted to almost 14 trillion euros in 2014.
Comparison of the EU Member States Below you find real time clocks of the national debt and the budget surplus/deficit of the member countries of the European Union (EU) under the Maastricht Treaty in percent of GDP (debt to GDP ratio, surplus/deficit to GDP ratio). According to the Maastricht Treaty, the national debt should not exceed 60.0 percent of GDP and the deficit should not exceed 3.0 percent of GDP.
Greece’s public debt is, unsurprisingly, the highest in the EU - standing at 177% of its GDP. Italy and Portugal are the next most indebted countries, with debts of 132% and 130% of national economic output respectively.
The smallest debts, as a proportion of GDP, were seen in Estonia, Norway and Bulgaria - all of whose government debts are below 30% of their GDP. The United Kingdom’s debt currently accounts for 89.4% of its GDP, ninth highest in the EU.

you only just worked out they lost the plot Micky?
the only plot they got going is the salary of $500,000 per year plot...
Whole bloody process is affected by a form of madness or insanity, always has been. For a moment consider this Micky. Two dud get hold of all the news media and tell everyone how they gunner spend millions here and zillions here there and every where, hoping you'll vote for them in an election that is supposed to be electing people to represent your views on the floor of parliament or senate. The grossly dishonest duds waving the carrot of spending money here there or where ever, are spending the peoples money in that way without asking or been directed by electors to spend the money or anything else. Its all crazy an insanity so don't for get to vote accordingly
all both major parties need to do is talk about jobs, school any subject will do, infrastructure and health. All other subjects are a no no, and the usual full of self interest dumb voters will insure the major parties get over the line.
To do otherwise would be political suicidal as most voters get up early hurriedly eat an unhealthy breakfast, jump in the car and drive on jammed packed freeways with a nice comfortable tarred surface, drop snotty nose off, and clock into some meaningless task that takes all day, pick tired little gem, slot back into the fast lane with the same dumb pricks you cursed for an hour early in morgan, darling I'm home, how was the milkmen and plumber today love...

Russian dairy farms are undergoing huge development
WELL Belgorod is a region which is about 600km or two hours south of Moscow, almost on the Ukrainian border. Accompanied by Enterprise Ireland representatives, I visited a Russian grain and milk company called Greendale. Greendale Milking Company operates 11 dairy farms, with 7,500 milking cows farming almost 12,000ha. It has 1,500 employees with a turnover of 1.8 billion rubles (RUB), or €36m.
meanwhile next door / you might recall Europe imposed sanctions on Russia over Ukraines in direct consequence of West Ukraine directing MH17 outside safe corridor straight to easy Ukraine missile system
Under impact from the Russian embargo, reducing procurement prices for Latvian dairy producers cause losses worth EUR 7 – 9 million every month. With that, it is likely that many dairy farms will be forced to close down by the end of 2014, as reported by Chairman of Latvian Rural Advisory and Training Centre Martinš Cimermanis.
