*’nomenclature’ of ‘territorial units’ for ‘statistics’*
*french* –> nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques
.
(the classification of ‘territorial units’ for ‘statistics’ is a ‘geo-code standard’ for referencing the ‘subdivisions’ of ‘countries’ for ‘statistical purposes’)
(the standard is ‘developed’ and ‘regulated’ by the ‘european union’, and thus only covers the ‘member states’ of the ‘EU’ in detail)
(the “‘classification’ of ‘territorial units’ for ‘statistics'” is instrumental in the european union’s ‘structural fund delivery mechanisms’ and for locating the area where ‘goods’ and ‘services’ subject to ‘european public procurement legislation’ are to be delivered)
(for each ‘EU member country’, a hierarchy of 3 NUTS levels is established by ‘eurostat’ in agreement with each ‘member state’; the ‘subdivisions’ in some levels do not necessarily correspond to ‘administrative divisions’ within the ‘country’)
(a NUTS code begins with a ‘2-letter code’ referencing the ‘country’, which is identical to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (except ‘UK’ (instead of ‘GB’) for the united kingdom’ + ‘EL’ (instead of GR) for ‘greece’))
(the ‘subdivision’ of the ‘country’ is then referred to with one number)
(a 2nd or 3rd ‘subdivision level’ is referred to with another number each)
(each numbering starts with ‘1’ (as ‘0’ is used for the ‘upper level’))
(where the ‘subdivision’ has more than 9 entities, ‘capital letters’ are used to continue the ‘numbering’)
(a similar ‘statistical system’ is defined for the ‘candidate countries’ and members of the ‘european free trade association’, but they are not technically part of ‘NUTS’ governed by the regulations)
.
(the current NUTS classification (valid from ‘1 january 2015’) lists…)
*98 ‘regions’ at ‘NUTS 1’*
*276 ‘regions’ at ‘NUTS 2’*
*1342 ‘regions’ at ‘NUTS 3’*
.
(“commission regulation 2016/2066” (dated ’21 november 2016′) provides for a further ‘amendment’ following ‘territorial reorganizations’ in several ‘member states’, which will become effective for submission of ‘statistical data’ to the ‘european commission’ from ‘1 january 2018’)
