û eurostat RAPID REPORTS Regions 19 D 1 ISSN 1013-0535 Per capita in the regions of the European Union The regional for was calculated including the new German Länder, which were part of the Community territory by then. These regions' low percapita produced a 3% fall in the Community average compared with that of the former territory. Expressed as purchasing power standards, the percapita figures for reveal marked differences between the Member States. Greece, at % of the Community average, had the lowest, after Portugal (60%). In Ireland (72%), Spain (%) and the United Kingdom (%), percapita was below the Community average. At the other end of the scale, Luxembourg recorded 131%, France %, Denmark %, Belgium %, Italy and Germany %, and the Netherlands %. The regions show even more marked extremes than in previous years. On the one hand, the group of European regions whose percapita falls shortest of the Community average has grown with the incorporation of the new German Länder. On the other, the more prosperous regions have climbed further above the Community average since the new Länder have counted towards the Community percapita, as attested by the fact that over 10% of the regions recorded figures in excess of 125% of the Community average, with especially high indices in Hamburg (209%), Darmstadt (173%), Bremen (159%) and Oberbayern (155%) in Germany, Ile de France (172%) in France, and Greater London (1%) in the United Kingdom. More than 20% of the regions of the Union recorded indices below 75% of the Community average, the lowest being, the new Länder ( 30 to 35%) in Germany, Alentejo (36%) in Portugal and all the Greek regions except Sterea Ellada and Attiki. The French overseas departements were in the same position (their indices relate to 19). Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, the countries with the most pronounced interregional variations, have now been joined by Germany, where the discrepancies are even more dramatic: 18% of the population live in regions with of 35% or less of the Community average, while a similar number live in regions with percapita 40% above the average. In the period from 10 to, some regions' percapita made substantial advances against the Community average. Some, such as Baleares, Madrid, Ceuta y Melilla, Cataluna, Aragon, Murcia and Navarre (Spain), Ireland, Lisboa E Vale do Tejo and Norte (Portugal), came close to the average. Others, like Darmstadt, Hamburg, Oberbayern, Niederbayer and Mittelfranken (Germany), Ile de France (France), Friuli- Venezia Giulia and Lazio (Italy) and the Grand Duche of Luxembourg, increased their lead on the Community average. In the same period, a few regions' percapita indices plummeted. This was the case of Picardie and Lorraine in France and Drenthe and Groningen in the Netherlands, although gas production plays a decisive role in this last region. The slumps of more than 12 points in Sterea Ellada and Alentejo (Portugal) were all the more dramatic because they increased the drift behind the Community percapita. The following regional traits deserve mention: For the first time, four Spanish regions - Baleares (%), Madrid (%), Navarra (%) and Cataluna (%) - which together represent approximately 30% of the population recorded percapita indices around the Community average. Spain as a whole came close to % of the average. The fall of the United Kingdom index (%) below the Community average had repercussions in its regions. Some 30% of the population live in regions with less than % of the average. The striking contrasts between the regions of the north and the south of Italy have become more accentuated. While Valle d'aosta (133%), Lombardia (139%) and Emilia- Romagna (132%) are among the most prosperous regions of the Union, Basilicata, in the south, slid below 60% of the Community average.

Method used to estimate regional shows the end-result of a region's productive activity. Per capita provides a measure of the level of economic development, but it cannot be interpreted as an indicator of the income of resident households. 1. Starting point: estimates of national National is calculated at market prices in ECU and PPS. The estimates are made on a harmonized basis in accordance with the rules of the ESA, so that comparisons between the Member States are possible. The European Currency Unit (ECU) is based on exchange rates, whereas the purchasing power standard is a unit of measurement which expresses an identical volume of goods and services for each country, taking account of differences in price levels. 2. Regional estimates The national estimates of population (ESA) are regionalized on the basis of the latest available data on the regional structure of the annual average population. 3. Comparisons at regional level In order to compare the in regions of different size, the per capita is calculated. To obtain a more straightforward comparison, these per capita figures are also expressed as a percentage of the Community average. The regional estimates of must be treated with a certain amount of caution on account of the specific situations that can arise in some regions. The most significant examples are as follows: Hamburg: per capita is very high due to the large number of non-residents working in the region; Flevoland and Lueneburg : the other extreme, with a large number of residents working outside the region; Groningen: per capita is given a substantial boost by the value of the production of gas, which is extracted in this region due to lack of information. The national in ECU and PPS is regionalized for each country on the basis of the latest available data on the regional structure of gross value added (GVA) at factor cost (at market prices in the case of Portugal). The estimates of regional in for the various countries are based on the regional structure of GVA in the following years: - D, GR, E, NL, UK; 19 - F, I, P; 18 - B. 4. Territory The overseas "départements" (DOM) in France and Azores and Madeira in Portugal could not yet be taken into account neither at national nor at Community level.
