5. • Under Croatia's regional aid map, the entire territory of Croatia will
be eligible for regional aid as a region with a GDP below 75% of the
EU average from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2020. The map also
defines the maximum aid levels (so-called "aid intensities") for
initial investments by large enterprises at 25% of the total
investment cost in continental Croatia (which comprises 67.05% of
the total population of Croatia) and 35% of the total investment
cost in Adriatic Croatia (which comprises 32.95% of the total
population of Croatia). For investments carried out by SMEs, these
percentages can be increased by 20 percentage points for small and
10 percentage points for medium size enterprises.
• Under the regional aid guidelines for 2014 - 2020, areas which have
a GDP per capita of below 75% of the EU average qualify as a
matter of priority for regional investment aid, as the main purpose
of regional aid is to foster the development of the less advantaged
regions of Europe.
