Here are some examples of this: the average investment in research for the European Union as a whole is no more than 1.8% of GDP, as opposed to 2.8% in the United States; the number of European graduate students studying in the United States is twice that of American students in Europe.
F.eks. udgør de midler, EU i alt afsætter til forskning, kun 1,8% af BNP mod 2,8% i USA. Endvidere er antallet af universitetsstuderende fra EU-lande i USA dobbelt så stort som antallet af amerikanske studerende i EU-lande.
