Abstract
Culturally shaped rule of fair distribution says that the distribution of goods and burdens must be made proportionally. Situations in which this rule is waived should, therefore, be regarded as exceptional and justified. Currently, it is in the case of division of the seats in the European Parliament among the representatives of Member States. In relation with the occurrence of such a situations there arises a need for the assessment of the proposed solutions for the deviations from the proportional solutions. This paper proposes measures that can be used for comparison of various proposals of degressively proportional divisions in this context.
