English: The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS, for the French nomenclature d'unités territoriales statistiques) is a geocode standard for referencing the spatial divisions of European countries for statistical purposes.
Français : La nomenclature d'unités territoriales statistiques (NUTS) est une norme de géocodage pour référencer les divisions spatiales des pays européens dans des buts statistiques.
  • A NUTS code begins with a two-letter code referencing the country, which is identical to the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (except UK instead of GB for the United Kingdom). NUTS codes are created not just for countries that are current member states of the European Union, but as well for candidate countries and countries in the European Economic Area, with which the European Union officially develops cooperation programs requiring a more limited collection of some statistics.
  • The spatial division of the country is then referred to with one digit. A second or third subdivision level is referred to with another digit each. These NUTS divisions do not necessarily correspond to administrative divisions within the country.
  • Each numbering starts with 1, as 0 is used for the upper level. In case the division has more than 9 entities, capital letters are used to continue the numbering.
