Estimates being discussed by the Ministry of Defence suggest that the change to an all-professional basis for the armed forces will add between Ptas 300,000 and 700,000 per year to the military budget. The abolition of compulsory military service will be fully effective from the year 2003.

Our work is only possible with your support.
