(*) As far as the eligible zones in the Flemish Region are concerned, the aid intensities shown are those applicable to all enterprises irre-

spective of their size.

(1) For investment projects with eligible expenditure not exceeding EUR 50 million, with the exception of the eligible zones in the Flemish
Region marked with (*), this ceiling is increased by 10 percentage points for medium sized companies and 20 percentage points for
small companies as defined in the Commission Recommendation of 6 May 2003 concerning the definition of micro, small and
medium-sized enterprises (OJ L 124, 20.5.2003, p. 36). For large investment projects with eligible expenditure exceeding EUR 50
million, this ceiling is subject to adjustment in accordance with paragraph 67 of the Guidelines on national regional aid for 2007-
2013.

(2) This region might remain eligible under Article 87(3)(a), in which case the ceiling for the period 1.1.2011-31.12.2013 will be increased
to 30 %, if a review to be undertaken in 2010 shows that the GDP per capita of the region concerned has fallen below 75 % of the
EU-25 average.
