The median population is defined in accordance with the same principle. For this purpose, recourse will be made to the figures published by the Council of the European Union as per Annex III, Article 1 and 2 of Council Decision 2009/937/EU of 1 December 2009 adopting the Council’s Rules of Procedure ^f1 . Four times the median population of the participating Member States must be added to the combined population in all participating Member States. The resulting population number shall constitute ‘the total population’.
