Values of all observed and used indicators have been rescaled on a 1-5 scale in order to allow for cross-referencing and comparison. Formulas for rescaling as well as additional methodological explanations can be found in the publication. Indicators and their values presented here represent the mapping of the European Commission's (EC) approach within the Functioning of Democratic Institutions (FoDI) area. Areas such as the Rule of Law, Freedom of Media, and Public Administration Reform, are covered by other Chapters of the EC annual reports, therefore excluded from calculations to avoid overlapping.
