Markets
Pie charts indicating prospective markets for a new model of car.
The main chart shows percentages for the main markets: France, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, M5, Other EU16 countries and "Others".
The "Others" category (shown in the second chart) includes "AMLAT Hors DME", Rest of EU27, "Chine VM" and "Reste VM hors E27 AL CH RUS".
I presume that AMLAT is Amérique Latine but haven't a clue what DME might mean.
Any pointers most appreciated.

Note from asker:
| DME also stands for Distance Measuring Equipment, Decision Making Exercises, Dubai, Mercantile Exchange and other completely irrelevant objects and entities. Please read the context. |
| I realise that you are only trying to help and I apologise for being abrupt. I feel, though, that you are guessing, a fact that is not reflected in your CL. |

Comment: "Although the customer is incapable of confirming this, Alex has convinced me that this may not have been as wide of the mark as I originally though. Apologies once again for my rude reply yesterday."
Discussion
AMLAT is indeed Amérique Latine, as is AL.
CH is China (not Switzerland).
I'll try and get some info from the end customer but past experience tells me that this is unlikely to be forthcoming :-(
I'm not sure the abbreviations all refer to countries. Take a pie-chart for a european-wide chain of supermarkets for example. You could have a list of countries and then FRANCE (HC) . The HC would mean Hors Carburant to show the reader that petrol station sales have been deducted from the revenue of the supermarkets in France because the supermarkets in the other countries don't have petrol stations. Just an example, but I'm sure you see what I mean. So here, Dr Manu may well be right.
