Communes, 2016 - Administrative Units - Data set

{4503E345-383A-43F5-9584-AD4A931FEB81}
This data set shows pan European administrative boundaries down to commune level version 2016. Communes are equivalent to Local Administrative Units, . The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) and the LAU nomenclature are hierarchical classifications of statistical regions that together subdivide the EU economic territory into regions of five different levels (NUTS 1, 2 and 3 and LAU , respectively, moving from larger to smaller territorial units). The NUTS classification has been officially established through Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amendments. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the non-EU countries. The LAU classification is not covered by any legislative act. An introduction to the NUTS classification is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/overview . The data set is based on EuroBoundaryMap v. 12.0 from Eurogeographics. Geographical extent covers the European Union 28, EFTA countries, and candidate countries The scale of the data set is 1:100 000. The complete data set GISCO.COMM_2013 is available via the EC restricted download link. And a generalised version is available to all from the GISCO download page. Note the generalised version should be used for cartographic purposes.

The dataset is based on the geometry from EuroBoundary Map v12 (source EuroGeographics). This dataset was integrated in a common repository of geometry (including country and EEZ boundaries) of which the different datasets were derived. The different scale levels were derived of generalisations of the common repository on 100K scale. This means that within each scale level the feature classes of all these datasets: COMM_2016, NUTS_2016, CNTR_2016, EEZ_2016 and COAS_2016, are fully coherent and compliant. Each scale level in the COMM_2016 dataset consists of 2 feature classes (regions and boundaries) The boundaries and regions are related to each other through a relationship table. In addition to the region and boundary feature classes there is also 1 label feature class which is scale independent. For each Commune in the region feature class there is exactly 1 label.
