• A regional aid map defines the regions of a Member State eligible for
national regional investment aid under EU state aid rules. It will be in force
between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020. The map also sets the
maximum levels of aid (so-called "aid intensities") that can be granted to
regional investment projects carried out by large enterprises in the
assisted areas at between 10% and 25% of total investment costs,
depending on the area concerned. These intensities can be increased for
investments carried out by medium sized enterprises by 10% and for small
enterprises by 20%.
• The new regional aid map for Greece will cover its entire territory and 100
% of its population, because the country benefits from the European
Stability Mechanism.
• Regional aid is meant to benefit the most disadvantaged regions of
Europe. Under the new map, seven areas (Anatoliki Makedonia and
Thraki, Kentriki Makedonia, Thessalia, Ipeiros, Dytiki Ellada, Peloponnisos
and Vorio Aigaio) which have a GDP per capita below 75% of the EU
average - covering 56.1% of the population of Greece - will be eligible for
regional investment aid.

5. Greece
• In the previous period, four more areas had a GDP below
75% of the EU average. In order to ensure a smooth
transition, the regions of, Ionia Nisia, Kriti, Dytiki
Makedonia and Attiki covering 43.9% of the population of
Greece, will continue to be eligible for regional aid until
2020. As from 2018, the maximum aid intensities will be
reduced, except for the areas of Kastoria and Florina that
share land borders with a country outside the European
Economic Area (EEA) and are therefore entitled to keep
higher aid intensities.
• The maximum aid intensities for regional investment aid in
the Greek assisted regions have slightly decreased as
compared to the previous aid map (by 5 to 15 percentage
points, depending on the region).
