• A regional aid map defines the regions of a Member State eligible for national regional investment aid under EU state aid rules and establishes the maximum aid levels (so-called "aid intensities") for companies in the eligible regions. Under the guidelines, Member States can make certain areas (such as sparsely populated areas) eligible for aid to tackle their own regional disparities, provided that they comply with an overall population coverage ceiling. The new map will be in force between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020.

• The designated areas are sparsely populated areas with a total population of 1.171 million, or 12.26% of Sweden's population. The maximum level of aid that can be granted to investment projects carried out by large companies is 15% of total investment costs. For investments carried out by SMEs, these percentages can be increased.

• While the population coverage is slightly lower than in the previous aid map (by around 3 percentage points, or 200 000 inhabitants), the overall aid intensities have remained the same or in some cases even increased (15% aid intensity instead of 10% in Västra Götaland). This is in line with the objectives of the new regional aid guidelines, which aim at focusing support on the disadvantaged regions of Europe.
