This paper presents a system based on Finite State Technology that recognises and classifies numerical entities in texts written in Basque. The system deals with a wide range of entities, such as temporal expressions, numbers related to units of measurement, or those that refer to common nouns. The system obtains 86.96 % F-measure score following MUC evaluation and 78.82 % using IREX and CONLL simple scoring protocol. 1
