3 For example, <strong>in</strong> the case <strong>of</strong> consider<strong>in</strong>g 4 ranges, it is suggested to use the follow<strong>in</strong>g thresholds:<br />
values under half <strong>of</strong> the value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>dicator for Spa<strong>in</strong>; values between the half <strong>and</strong> the value <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>in</strong>dicator for Spa<strong>in</strong>; values between the value for Spa<strong>in</strong> <strong>and</strong> its double; <strong>and</strong> values above the double<br />
