EEA geospatial data catalogue
EuroBoundaryMap (full European coverage) - version 7.0, Oct. 2013
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])
b) Administrative units (Unit of administration where a national authority has and/or exercises jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance [AdministrativeUnit_x])
c) Administrative boundaries (Line of demarcation between administrative areas [AdministrativeBoundary])
d) Label points (Reference point of an administrative unit on lowest level; not available in the standard EBM v7.0 product; included in the Eurostat version [EBM_P])
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])
