The European Parliament has released updated information on the EU budget.

It has introduced a new interactive feature which lets you see what your country is receiving and how much it is spending in EU funds.

It also allows you to see exactly where the money is going in a sector-by-sector breakdown.

The numbers are compiled from the 2010 annual financial report of the European Commission.
