I propose to take Questions Nos. 582 and 583 together.

The following table gives the area of the EEZ of each EU member state in square kilometres as well as the percentage of each EEZ as part of the total EU EEZ and the percentage as part of the EU EEZ excluding the UK.

Please note that the areas given here relate only to the mainland EEZ areas including the North East Atlantic, Mediterranean, Baltic and North Seas.  The EEZ of overseas territories have been excluded from these calculations.
