HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Subject matter

1.
The purpose of this Regulation is to establish a common
statistical classification of territorial units, hereinafter referred
to as (cid:145)NUTS(cid:146), in order to ensure the production and dissemi-
nation of comparable regional statistics in the Community.

2.
The NUTS classification laid down in Annex I shall
replace the (cid:145)Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics
(NUTS)(cid:146) established by the Statistical Office of the European
Communities in co-operation with the national institutes for
statistics of the Member States.

The existing administrative units that are used for the
NUTS classification are laid down in Annex II. Amendments
to Annex II may be adopted by the Commission in accordance
with the procedure referred to in Article 7, paragraph 2.

4.
If for a given level of NUTS no administrative units of a
suitable scale exist in a Member State, in accordance with the
size criteria referred to in paragraph 2, this NUTS level shall be
constituted by aggregating an appropriate number of existing

relevant criteria into consideration.

aggregation shall

The NUTS classification comprises for each region a
1.
specified code and name. It subdivides the economic territory
of the Community, as defined in the Commission Decision
91/450/EEC of 26 July 1991 (1),
into territorial units, here-
inafter referred to as (cid:145)regions(cid:146).

The resulting aggregated units shall hereinafter be referred to as
(cid:145)non-administrative units(cid:146). The size of the non-administrative
units in a Member State for a given NUTS level shall
lie
within the population thresholds referred to in paragraph 2.

2.
The NUTS classification is hierarchical. It subdivides each
Member State into NUTS level 1 regions, each of which is
these in turn each
subdivided into NUTS level 2 regions,
being subdivided into NUTS level 3 regions.

However, because of particular administrative and geographical
circumstances, to be appreciated by the Commission, individual
non-administrative units may deviate from these thresholds.

However, a particular region may represent several levels

3.
of NUTS.

5.
If the population of a whole Member State is below the
maximum threshold for a given NUTS level, the whole Member
State will be one NUTS region for this level.

4.
Two different regions in the same Member State may not
be identified by the same name. If two regions in different
Member States have the same name, the country identifier is
added to the region name.

Article 3

Classification criteria

1. Within six months after the entry into force of this Regu-
lation,
the Commission shall, after consulting the Member
States, publish the components of each NUTS level 3 region
in terms of local administrative units.

1.
Existing administrative units within the Member States
constitute the first criterion used for the definition of regions.

To this end, (cid:145)administrative unit(cid:146) shall mean a geographical area
with an administrative authority that has the power to take
administrative or policy decisions for that area within the legal
and institutional framework of the Member State.

2.
In order to establish the relevant level of NUTS in which
a given class of administrative units in a Member State is to be
classified, the average size of this class of administrative units
in the Member State shall lie within the following population
thresholds:

(1) OJ L 240, 29.8.1991.

The existing local administrative units are laid down in Annex
III. Amendments
to Annex III may be adopted by the
Commission in accordance with the procedure referred to in
Article 7, paragraph 2.

2. Within the first six months of each year, Member States
shall transmit all changes of the components for the previous
year, respecting the electronic data format requested by the
Commission.

3.
If any of the changes of local administrative units leads to
a need to change the NUTS 3 boundaries, the provisions of
Article 5 apply.
