EuroBoundaryMap (full European coverage) - version 6.0, Apr. 2012

EuroBoundaryMap (formerly known as SABE - Seamless Administrative Boundaries of Europe) 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). EuroGeographics is providing harmonized access conditions for this reference data. EBM v6.0 (1:100.000) offers the combined strength of detailed European administrative units and the linkage to corresponding NUTS codes.

Feature catalogue:

a) Administrative units (Area controlled by an administrative authority [EBM_A])

b) Label points (Reference point for the main area of an administrative unit, can be used for labelling purposes [EBM_P])

c) Administrative boundaries (A line of demarcation between administrative controlled areas [EBM_L])

d) Derived units on higher national levels (Administrative units on higher hierarchical levels (USE-Regions [USE_X]), Derived national NUTS regions [NUTS_X])
