EuroGeographics

EuroGeographics (sometimes known as GISCO) partners with Eurostat and the European Commission to distrbute NUTS statistical data joined with geographical boundary polygon data. However, EuroGeographics restricts this usage to non-commercial, so this source is used for concordance values only. EuroGeographics also offers other commercial data products, and some open data with a coarser resolution 1:1,000,000 scale in their EuroGlobalMap project (which is aggregated by both Quattroshapes and Mesoshapes). The term NUTS comes from the French acronym of 'Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics'.
