Methodology for the calculation of the maximum financial contribution per Member State under the Facility
This Annex sets out the methodology for calculating the maximum financial contribution available for each Member State in accordance with Article 11. The method takes into account, with regard to each Member State:
| — | the population; |
| — | the inverse of the GDP per capita; |
| — | the average unemployment rate over the past five years compared to the Union average (2015-2019); |
| — | the fall in real GDP in 2020 and the fall in real GDP in 2020 and 2021 combined. |
To avoid excessive concentration of resources:
| — | the inverse of the GDP per capita is capped at a maximum of 150 % of the Union average; |
| — | the deviation of an individual Member State’s unemployment rate from the Union average is capped at a maximum of 150 % of the Union average; |
| — | to account for the generally more stable labour markets of wealthier Member States (with GNI per capita above the Union average) the deviation of their unemployment rate from the Union average is capped at a maximum of 75 %. |
The maximum financial contribution of a Member State under the Facility (MFCi) is defined as follows:
MFCi = ν i × (FS)
where:
FS (Financial Support) is the available financing under the Facility as referred to in Article 6(1)(a); and
νi is the allocation key of Member State i, defined as:
νi = 0,7 κi + 0,3 αi
where:
κi is the allocation key applied to 70 % of the amount referred to in point (a) of Article 6(1) and set out in Annex II; and
αi is the allocation key applied to 30 % of the amount referred to in point (a) of Article 6(1) and set out in Annex III.
ANNEX II
The allocation key applied to 70 % of the amount referred to in point (a) of Article 6(1), κi is defined as follows:
,
where and ,

υi ≤ 0,75 for Member States with and
υi ≤ 1,5 for Member States with .
Defining (1):
| — | as the 2019 nominal GDP per capita of Member State i; |
| — | as the 2019 weighted average of GDP per capita of the EU-27 Member States; |
| — | popi,2019 as the 2019 total population in Member State i; |
| — | popEU,2019 as the 2019 total population in the EU-27 Member States; |
| — | Ui,2015-2019 as the average unemployment rate over the period 2015-2019 of Member State i; |
| — | UEU,2015-2019 as the average unemployment rate over the period 2015-2019 in the EU-27 (in each year the weighted average of the EU-27 Member States); |
| — | as the 2019 GNI per capita of Member State i; |
| — | as the 2019 weighted average GNI per capita of the EU-27 Member States. |
(1) All data in the regulation is from Eurostat; cut-off date May 2020 for historical data.

| — | as the 2019 weighted average of GDP per capita of the EU-27 Member States; |
| — | popi,2019 as the 2019 total population in Member State i; |
| — | popEU,2019 as the 2019 total population in the EU-27 Member States. |
The fall in real GDP for 2020 (δGDPi,2020–2019) and the cumulative fall in real GDP for the period 2020-2021 (δGDPi,2020–2019) shall be based on the Commission Autumn 2020 forecasts and updated by 30 June 2022 for each Member State replacing the data from the Commission Autumn 2020 forecasts with the actual outturns as reported in the latest available update of the Eurostat code series ‘tec00115 (Real GDP growth rate - volume)’.
ANNEX IV
The application of the methodologies in Annexes I, II and III to the amount referred to in Article 6(1)(a), converted into current prices, will result in the following share and amount of the maximum financial contribution per Member State, without prejudice to the updated calculation by 30 June 2022:
