(20) In line with the Annex to the Communication from the Commission on the European Agenda on Migration1, the proposed distribution key should be based on a) the size of the population (40% weighting), b) the total of the GDP (40% weighting), c) the average number of spontaneous asylum applications and the number of resettled refugees per one million inhabitants over the period 2010- 2014 (10% weighting) and d) the unemployment rate (10% weighting). In addition, taking into account the complexity of the issue, other elements of the distribution key should include Member State specific conditions, such as the number of migrants already in the Member State and historic immigration. The distribution keys set out in Annex I and Annex II of this Decision take into account the fact that the Member States from which relocation will take place should not themselves contribute as a Member State of relocation. 1 COM (2015) 240 final.
