Communication from the Commission amending Annex I to the Guidelines on regional aid for 2014-2020
(2016/C 231/01)
I.   INTRODUCTION









(1)


Point 5.6.2 of the Regional Aid Guidelines for 2014-2020 (1) (hereinafter referred to as ‘RAG’) provides for a mid-term review of the regional aid maps in June 2016. The amended regional aid maps will be in force from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020.






Amendment of the list of ‘a’ areas










(2)


To this end the Commission will establish whether any NUTS 2 region, which is in the current maps not an ‘a’ area, has a GDP per capita below 75 % of the EU-28 average on the basis of the GDP data (in PPS per capita) for 2012-2014 and will publish a communication on the results of this analysis. The Commission will establish at that moment whether these identified areas may become eligible for regional aid under Article 107(3)(a) of the Treaty and the level of the aid intensity corresponding to their GDP per capita. If these identified areas are designated either as pre-defined ‘c’ areas or as non-predefined ‘c’ areas in the current national regional aid map, the percentage of the specific population allocation for ‘c’ areas indicated in Annex 1 to the RAG, will be adjusted accordingly.






Amendment of the aid intensity of ‘a’ areas










(3)


The Commission will also identify those NUTS 2 regions which are ‘a’ areas in the national regional aid map, but for which their GDP per capita has dropped so that they would qualify from 1 January 2017 for a higher level of aid intensity.






Possibilities for mid-term review of ‘c’ areas










(4)


A Member State may, within the limit of its adjusted specific allocation for ‘c’ areas mentioned in paragraph 10, amend the list of non-predefined ‘c’ areas contained in its regional aid map for the period from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2020. These amendments may not exceed 50 % of each Member State’s adjusted non-predefined ‘c’ coverage. In addition, the population of the newly included regions may not exceed the population of the regions losing their status as region eligible for regional aid.












(5)


The Commission will publish these amendments to Annex I of the RAG












(6)


Member States who want to amend their regional aid maps are invited to notify these amendments pursuant to Article 108(3) TFEU, in line with paragraph 185 of the RAG, before 1 September 2016 at the latest.




II.   ASSESSMENT









(7)


On 29 February 2016, Eurostat has published the GDP data for 2012-2014. In the below lists the change is demonstrated by comparing the first column (GDP average of the years 2008-2010) with the second column (GDP average of the years 2012-2014). On this basis the following modifications are made.












(8)


NUTS2 regions which could change status into ‘a’:
The following Member States and NUTS2 regions are concerned:

Greece:







EL13 Dytiki Makedonia


from 83,67 


to 69,00 




EL22 Ionia Nisia


from 82,67 


to 66,67 




EL24 Sterea Ellada


from 83,33 


to 64,67 




EL43 Kriti


from 83,33 


to 62,00 








Spain:







ES42 Castilla-La-Mancha


from 82,33 


to 72,67 




ES61 Andalucia


from 78,00 


to 68,00 




ES62 Región de Murcia


from 85,67 


to 74,67 




ES64 Melilla


from 83,67 


to 68,67 








Italy:







ITG2 Sardegna


from 79,00 


to 74,00 








United Kingdom:







UKC1 Tees Valley and Durham


from 77,33 


to 73,67 




All these NUTS2 regions could be proposed as ‘a’ areas with an aid intensity of 25 % as they have now a GDP per capita below 75 % of the EU-28 average.












(9)


NUTS2 regions which could receive a higher aid intensity.
The following Member States and NUTS2 regions are concerned:

Greece:







EL11 Anatoliki Makedonia, Thraki


from 68,00 


to 51,67 




EL12 Kentriki Makedonia


from 72,33 


to 57,33 




EL14 Thessalia


from 69,33 


to 55,33 




EL21 Ipeiros


from 63,33 


to 51,67 




EL23 Dytiki Ellada


from 65,00 


to 55,00 




EL25 Peloponnisos


from 74,00 


to 59,67 




EL41 Voreio Aigaio


from 75,00 


to 57,33 




These NUTS2 regions could be proposed for an aid intensity of 35 %, as their GDP has dropped below 60 % of the EU-28 average.

Portugal:







PT30 Madeira


from 104,00 


to 73,00 




This outermost region could be proposed for an aid intensity of 45 %, as its GDP has dropped below 75 % of the EU-28 average.












(10)

(1)  OJ C 209, 23.7.2013, p. 1.

(2)  Measured in PPS, three-year average for 2008-2010 (EU-27 = 100).

(3)  Based on Eurostat population data for 2010.

(4)  Measured in PPS, three-year average for 2012-2014 (EU-28 = 100), only indicated if change in category occurs due to new statistics.

(5)  Based on Eurostat population data for 2010.

(*)  Only the part of DE40 Brandenburg corresponding to the former NUTS 2 region DE41 Brandenburg – Nordost and the part of DEE0 Sachsen-Anhalt corresponding to the former the NUTS 3 regions DEE1 Dessau and DEE3 Magdeburg (as set out in the NUTS 2003 nomenclature) are included as predefined “c” areas. When notifying the regional aid map, and in order to facilitate the mid-term review foreseen at NUTS 2 level in Subsection 5.6.2 of these guidelines, Germany can decide to designate as predefined “c” areas the whole of the NUTS 2 regions of DE40 Brandenburg and DEE0 Sachsen-Anhalt, provided that the percentage of the national population available for non-predefined “c” areas is reduced accordingly.

(**)  Saint-Martin and Mayotte are outermost regions but are not included in the 2010 NUTS nomenclature as their administrative status was modified under national law in 2007 and 2011 respectively. To determine the maximum aid intensity applicable in these two outermost regions, France may refer to data provided by its national statistical office or other recognised sources.
