According to point 20 of the Guidelines on national Regional Aid for 2007-2013 (RAG) Statistical Effect Regions will benefit from a status as an assisted area pursuant to Article 107(3)(a) TFEU until the end of 2010. These regions will lose their status as an Article 107(3)(a) TFEU assisted area as from 1st January 2011, if an ex officio review to be carried out by the Commission in 2010 shows that their GDP/inhabitant over the most recent three years exceeds 75 % of the EU25 average. As already stipulated in the decisions on the regional State aid maps for 2007-2013, these regions changing status will benefit for the period 1.1.2011-31.12.2013 from eligibility to regional aid on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU. |

The most recent statistical data available from Eurostat (Eurostat's News release 25/2010 of 18.2.2010) on GDP in PPS per capita, calculated as a three year average (2005-2007) (EU25 = 100) for the individual statistical effect regions recognised by the RAG are the following: Hainaut (74,0); Brandenburg-Südwest (84,1); Lüneburg (80,6); Leipzig (84,9); Sachsen-Anhalt (Halle) (79,5); Kentriki Makedonia (71,0); Dytiki Makedonia (73,8); Attiki (121,3); Principados de Asturias (90,5); Región de Murcia (83,6); Ciudad Autónoma de Ceuta (91,4); Ciudad Autónoma de Melilla (89,8); Basilicata (64,9); Burgenland (79,4); Algarve (77,7); Highlands and Islands (85,0). |
