3. The factor linked to the fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone is obtained on the basis of the following criteria and by applying the following steps:

(a) share of each Member State of the total value of the fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone;

(b) those shares are increased for Member States with fisheries that have an above average dependency on the fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone and decreased for the Member States that have a below average dependency as follows:

(i) for each Member State, the value of fish caught in United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone as a percentage of the total value of fish caught by that Member State is expressed as an index of the Union average (‘index of dependency’);

(ii) the initial share of the value of fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone is adjusted by multiplying it with the Member State’s index of dependency raised to the power of 75 %;

(iii) those adjusted shares are rescaled to ensure that the sum of all Member States’ shares equals 100 %.

5. The factor linked to the maritime border regions with the United Kingdom is obtained by calculating the share of each Member State in the total population of the maritime border regions with the United Kingdom. Maritime border regions with the United Kingdom are NUTS level 3 regions along border coastlines and other NUTS level 3 regions of which at least half of the population lives within 25 km of these border coastlines. Border coastlines are defined as coastlines that are located at a maximum of 150 km from the United Kingdom’s coastline.

6. For the purposes of calculating the distribution of the resources of the Reserve:

(a) for the value of the fish caught in United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone, the reference period shall be from 2015 to 2018;

(b) for the value of the fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone as a share of total value of fish caught by a Member State, the reference period shall be from 2015 to 2018;

(c) for trade the reference period shall be from 2017 to 2019;

(d) for GNI the reference period shall be from 2017 to 2019;

(e) for GNI/capita (in purchasing power parities) the reference period shall be from 2016 to 2018;

(f) for GDP and for total population of the Member States the reference period shall be from 2017 to 2019;

(g) for population of the NUTS level 3 regions the reference period shall be 2017.

ALLOCATION METHODOLOGY FOR THE RESOURCES OF THE RESERVE SET OUT IN ARTICLE 4(3) The resources of the Reserve shall be distributed between the Member States according to the following methodology: 1. Each Member State’s share of the resources of the Reserve is determined as the sum of a factor linked to the fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone, a factor linked to trade with the United Kingdom, and a factor linked to the population of maritime border regions with the United Kingdom.

2. The factor linked to fish caught in the United Kingdom’s exclusive economic zone is used to allocate EUR 656 452 200 . The factor linked to trade with the United Kingdom is used to allocate EUR 4 540 461 050 . The factor linked to maritime border regions with the United Kingdom is used to allocate EUR 273 521 750 . Each of those amounts is expressed in current prices.

4. The factor linked to trade with the United Kingdom is obtained by applying the following steps:

(a) each Member State’s trade with the United Kingdom is expressed as share of the Union trade with the United Kingdom (trade is the sum of the imports and the exports of goods and services);

(b) to assess the relative importance of the trade flows with the United Kingdom for each Member State, the sum of those trade flows is expressed as a percentage of the Member State’s gross domestic product (GDP) and subsequently expressed as an index of the Union average (‘index of dependency’);

(c) the initial share of trade with the United Kingdom is adjusted by multiplying it with the Member State’s index of dependency raised to the power of 75 %;

(d) those adjusted shares are rescaled to ensure that the sum of all Member States’ shares equals 100 %;

(e) the shares so obtained are adjusted by dividing them with the Member State’s gross national income (GNI) per capita (in purchasing power parities) expressed as a percentage of the average GNI per capita of the Union (average expressed as 100 %);

(f) the resulting shares are rescaled to ensure the sum of shares equals 100 %, whereby it is ensured that no Member State can have a share higher than 25 % of the Union’s total; the resources deducted due to that capping are redistributed to the other Member States, proportionally to their non-capped shares;

(g) if that calculation leads to an allocation exceeding 0,36 % of a Member State’s GNI (measured in euro), that Member State’s allocation is capped at the level of 0,36 % of its GNI; the resources deducted due to that capping are redistributed to the other Member States, proportionally to their non-capped shares;

(h) if the calculation referred to in point (g) results in an aid intensity of more than EUR 195/inhabitant, that Member State’s allocation is capped at the level corresponding to an aid intensity of EUR 195/inhabitant; the resources deducted due to that capping are distributed to the Member States not capped under points (g) or (h), proportionally to their shares as calculated in point (g).
