Description
This dataset represents the regions for level1, 2 and 3 of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) for 2010.

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 EFTA countries and candidate countries.
