Germany and Austria were around 20 per cent above, followed by the United Kingdom, Finland, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, and Sweden which all recorded levels between 9 per cent and 14 per cent above the EU average.
In Italy, Ireland and Cyprus the levels were 10 per cent or less below the EU average, while Spain, Lithuania, Portugal and the Czech Republic were between 10 per cent and 20 per cent below.
