Each Member State's allocation is the sum of the allocations for its individual eligible regions, which are calculated on the basis of relative regional and national prosperity and the unemployment rate according to the following steps: determination of an absolute amount (in euro) obtained by multiplying the population of the region concerned by the difference between that region's GDP per capita, measured in purchasing power parities, and the EU-25 average GDP per capita; application of a percentage to the above absolute amount in order to determine that region's financial envelope; this percentage is graduated to reflect the relative prosperity, as compared to the EU-25 average, of the Member State in which the eligible region is situated, i.e.: for regions in Member States whose level of GNI per capita is below 82 % of the Community average: 4,25 % for regions in Member States whose level of GNI per capita is between 82 % and 99 % of the Community average: 3,36 % for regions in Member States whose level of GNI per capita is over 99 % of the Community average: 2,67 %; to the amount obtained under step (b) is added, if applicable, an amount resulting from the allocation of a premium of EUR 700 per unemployed person, applied to the number of persons unemployed in that region exceeding the number that would be unemployed if the average unemployment rate of all the EU convergence regions applied.
