"In total, a yearly average of EUR 2.53 billion went to the 214 funds in a sample including 33 countries (Albania and Russia could not be tracked for this indicator) between 2010 and 2014 (a proportioned average of 196.2 funds a year, since not all the funds tracked existed over the entire period). The three main sources of income in Europe at the national and sub-national levels combined were contributions from the national/federal government (32%) followed by levies on broadcasters (31%) and contributions from regional government (13%). However, when outlying France is excluded from the calculation, the breakdown of the share of income by type of source is much more representative of the reality at the pan-European level, with contributions from the national or federal governments accounting for 53% of the total available resources. Taxes and levies reflected a steady downward trend in 2011, barely compensated until 2013 by the contributions from the national/federal governments and the surge in contributions from sub-national (regional, community and local) governments. Moreover, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland were the countries in which sub-national funds accounted for a larger share of the total income." (Executive summary, page 11)
