- 5. Austria • A regionalaid map defines the regions of a Member State eligible for national regional investment aid under EU state aid rules and establishes the maximum aid levels (so-called "aid intensities") for companies in the eligible regions. In order to enable Member States to tackle their own regional disparities, they can make certain areas eligible for aid, provided that they comply with an overall population coverage ceiling. The new map will be in force between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020. • The designated areas, a list of regions with 2,186,465 inhabitants, cover 25.87% of Austria's population. Austria has proposed its assisted areas across the country on the basis of a wide range of criteria, including those that reflect the socioeconomic situation (i.e. GDP per capita, below EU average or high unemployment compared to national average), the geographical situation (e.g. mountain areas) or structural problems at national level.

This is in line with the objectives of the new regional aid guidelines, which aim at focusing support on the most disadvantaged regions of Europe. • Update 21st of May 2014 AUSTRIA maximum aid percentages 2014 - 2020
