The significant facet of NATO's economic dimension is its cooperative activities with Partner and other countries with which the Alliance has developed cooperative relations, including security and defense economic work carried out in the framework of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, the NATO-Ukraine Commission and NATO's relations with other Partner countries. This includes economic aspects of defense budgeting and resource management in defense spending, defense conversion matters (for example relating to retraining of military personnel and conversion of military sites and defense industries), economic aspects of the international fight against terrorism and other relevant economic security issues.
