Article 2 – paragraph 3
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, a ‘regional natural disaster’ shall mean any natural disaster resulting, in a region of a Member State or a country involved in accession negotiations with the Union at NUTS 2 level, in direct damage in excess of 1,5 % of the region's gross domestic product (GDP) in direct damage in excess of 1% of GDP in a region at NUTS 2 level, or in several neighbouring NUTS 3 level regions that together constitute a territory corresponding to the minimum criteria for NUTS 2 level, of a Member State or a country involved in accession negotiations with the Union; in certain cases the GDP criterion may be weighted by using an indicator that reflects the actual socio-economic situation of the territory affected before and after the disaster occurred, as envisaged in the Common Provisions Regulation. Where the disaster concerns several regions at NUTS 2 or NUTS 3 level, the threshold shall be applied to the weighted average GDP of those regions. In the remotest regions as defined in Article 349 TFEU, given their extreme vulnerability to weather phenomena, ‘regional natural disaster’ shall mean any natural disaster resulting in direct damage in excess of 0.5% of the region's GDP.
