This data set shows pan European administrative boundaries down to commune level version 2018. . 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 LAU classification is not covered by any legislative act. 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. A generalised version is available to all from the GISCO download page. The data contains the National Statistical agency LAU code which can be joined to LAU lists aswell as a field GICSCO_ID which is a unique identifier consisting of the Country code and LAU code.
Total resident population figures (31st December) have also been added based on the associated LAU lists
Note the generalised version should be used for cartographic purposes and should be correctly attributed to @Eurogeographics.

The dataset is based on the geometry from EuroBoundary Map v12 (source EuroGeographics). This dataset is not integrated with other GISCO data such as NUTS 2016. Known issues see EBM_2019_LAU_NUTS_Matching.pdf in download package.
Population figures derive from the annual LAU lists. Member states do not in all cases provide a figure, in these cases the figure for the nearest available year is taken, the reference year for the population figure can be found in the field Year. Population density has also been calculated based on this figure and the area of the polygons in LAEA spatial reference (EPSG:3035) of the original 100K scale data. Population figures are not validated, figures received with the LAU lists are indicative and have analytical purposes such as implementing the DEGURBA.
