Abstract:  This dataset contains the demographic balance at state level (NUTS1) from 2012-2020 which is collected yearly by the national statistical agencies in EU. Compiling agency: Eurostat, The Statistical Office of the European Union. This dataset represents the statelevel (NUTS 1). The NUTS classification has been officially established through Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/1755. A non-official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries, candidate countries and potential candidates based on a bilateral agreement between Eurostat and the respective statistical agencies. An introduction to the NUTS classification is available here: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/overview. This dataset has been created mainly from the EuroBoundary Map v 2020 (Eurogeographics, Reference Date 31.12.2018) and geographic information from TurkStat for Turkey. The public dataset is available under the Download link indicated below. Available scales are 1:1.000.000, 3Milion, 10M, 20M, 60M. The full dataset is available via the GISCO Reference Database and the EC restricted download link under GISCO.NUTS_2021. Here six scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M, 60M) are available. Coverage is the economic territory of the EU, EFTA countries and candidate countries as of 01/02/2020. For more information on the NUTS classification see: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/history

Purpose: This dataset contains the administrative borders of EU countries (NUTS 1) and the demographic balance at state level (NUTS1) between 2012 and 2020. This dataset has been created for educational purposes of working with spatial data infrastrucures.

Lineage:
Lineage statement: This dataset is based on: EuroBoundaryMap (EBM) v2020 from EuroGeographics (scale of 1:100.000), Global Administrative Unit Layer (GAUL) 2015 country data from UN/FAO, data from the National Statistical Institute of Turkey (TurkStat). The different scale levels were derived by generalisation of the 100K scale. This dataset consists of 2 feature classes (region polygons and boundaries) per scale level (100k, 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M, 60M). In addition, there is also a label feature class (scale independent). This labelpoint feature class was created with a label inside the countries. Furthermore, two line feature classes were created: one feature class for cartographic joiners to identify where NUTS areas have one or more enclaves and a second line feature class, for cartographic separators to identify where the NUTS limits are in the sea. The arcs of the two latter feature classes are only useful for cartographic purposes and are not meant to identify actual administrative or statistical boundaries stretching into the sea or have any other significance. The boundaries and regions are related to each other through a relationship table. Associated tables contain basic information such as the region's name. The 5 small scale feature classes should be used exclusively for cartographic purposes. This dataset is consistent at all scales with the following datasets: Communes and LAUS 2019 of European Commission, Eurostat/GISCO, Countries 2020, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO, Coastlines 2020, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO. Exclusive Economic Zones 2020, European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO. Different tests were performed to ensure conceptual-, domain- and topological- consistency - More information is available in the GISCO wiki under https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/fpfis/wikis/x/vQXOB.
