EuroBoundaryMap - version 10, Feb. 2016

EuroBoundaryMap provides a European geographic database for administrative and statistical regions that will be maintained at the source level by the National Mapping and Cadastral Agencies (NMCAs), and by providing harmonized access conditions for this geographic information within the framework of EuroGeographics. EBM (1:100 000) offers the combined strength of detailed European administrative units and linkages to the corresponding LAU and NUTS codes.



Feature catalogue:

a) Administrative areas (Area controlled by an administrative authority; basic component of administrative units [EBM_A])

c) Administrative boundaries (Line of demarcation between administrative areas [AdministrativeBoundary])

d) Label points (..)

e) Residence of Authority (Centre for national or local administration [ResidenceOfAuthority])

f) NUTS regions (Territorial unit for statistics defined in the framework of the Regulation (EU) No 31/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 January 2011 [NUTS_x])

g) LAU regions (Territorial unit for statistics defined by the National Statistical Institute [LAU_x])

h) Names of administrative units [EBM_NAM]

i) Designations of administrative hierarchical levels [EBM_ISN]

j) Relation to LAU and NUTS classification (Relationship between the SHN codes of administrative units on lowest national administrative level and corresponding statistical codes. [EBM_NUTS])

k) Languages and character sets (Description of languages used in EBM [EBM_CHR])

l) Co-administered units (Relationship between administrative unit and its co-administering administrative units on the same hierarchical level [EBM_coAdministered])
