http://www.xe.com/news/2010/07/01/1...utm_content=NOGEO&utm_campaign=News_RSS_Art1"PARIS, July 1 (Reuters) - France's defence budget will be cut by 3.5 billion euros ($4.28 billion) in 2011-2013, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday, as part of a government drive to reduce public spending.
However, France's Defence Ministry hopes the overall amount cut could fall to 1.5 billion euros thanks to income of around 2 billion euros from the sale of barracks and telecoms frequencies, said the source.
The budget will come to 30.1 billion euros in 2011 as in 2010, 30.5 billion euros in 2012 and 31 billion euros in 2013.
