Notes: Data from 2000 onwards include only allocations received through bilateral programmes and exclude allocations received by individual countries through various other horizontal and regional programmes. Per capita data based on average of national populations in 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2005 (and 2010 and 2015 for Ukraine). There are no publicly available data on actual disbursements (payments) to Ukraine, except for 2002–09. During that period, the EU committed €832.9 million in grants, of which €556.4 million was actually spent (67 per cent).95 The approximate absorption rate for Phare support to the Central and Eastern European states for the entire period (1990–2003) was 80 per cent (except for Bulgaria and Romania, where the rates were somewhat lower).96
