The dataset represents the administrative boundaries of the 39 EEA countries at various aggregation level: Country (NUTS0), NUTS1, NUTS2, and NUTS3 regions. The dataset is created in raster format with a spatial resolution of 100m grid size. Spatial extent of the dataset is adjusted to the latest Corine Land Cover product [Corine Land Cover 2012 (raster 100m) - version 18, Sep. 2016]. Administrative boundaries were derived from the EUROSTAT GISCO dataset [European Commission, Eurostat (ESTAT), GISCO -Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2016 (NUTS), Mar. 2018], EuroGeographics product [EuroBoundaryMap (full European coverage) - version 12, Jan. 2018], and coastal areas were derived from the Economic Exclusive Zone dataset [version 10.0 available in marineregions.org]. This dataset is created as a reference layer for performing spatial analysis and calculating statistics at country level for the European territory as needed by accounting activities such as Land and Ecosystem Accounting (LEAC).

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 (1:100000) offers the combined strength of detailed European administrative units and linkages to the corresponding LAU and NUTS codes. This metadata refers to the version 12 of EBM, which is a full update of all the countries. For more information about the data product specifications and changes with respect to the previous version of this dataset (EBM v11), please refer to the documents EBM_v12_Specification.pdf, EBM_v12_TechnicalGuide.pdf and EBM_v12_Changes.pdf provided with the dataset (Documents.zip) This dataset is only to be used internally in the EEA, for the purposes and under the conditions stated under the "Resource Constraints" elements of this metadata file and on the document "LicenseConditions.pdf" provided with this dataset. This metadata has been slightly adapted from the original metadata file provided by EuroGeographics and is to be used only for internal EEA purposes. For reference, the metadata file created by EuroGeographics is provided together with the dataset ("Metadata_EBM_v12.xml" within the "Descriptions_Metadata.zip")

This dataset represents the administrative boundaries of the 38 EEA countries and the United Kingdom at various aggregation levels using the NUTS classification (Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics): country (NUTS0), NUTS1, NUTS2, and NUTS3 regions. The dataset has been created in raster format with a spatial resolution of 100m grid size. This dataset has been created as a reference layer for performing spatial analysis and calculating statistics at country level for the European territory as needed by accounting activities such as Land and Ecosystem Accounting (LEAC). The dataset has been derived from the EuroBoundaryMap 2020 (EBM 2020) from EuroGeographics, while coastal areas were derived from the Economic Exclusive Zone dataset version 11 (from the Flanders Marine Institute IMIS). The Eurostat GISCO database has also been used to validate/check eventual gaps in EBM 2020.

TomTom's MultiNet Points of Interest (POIs) are businesses and landmarks important in vehicle and pedestrian navigation, internet mapping, and enterprise mapping solutions. MultiNet Points of Interest is an add-on product for Standard MultiNet. This metadata refers to the dataset with European and Russian coverage, in GDB format, published in September 2019. Data specifications and POIs categories and sub-categories are made available with the dataset. More information about TomTom here: https://www.tomtom.com/ IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a dataset provided by the European Commission's Eurostat to the EEA for internal purposes and its access is restricted.

EuroBoundaryMap (EBM) 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 (1:100000) offers the combined strength of detailed European administrative units and linkages to the corresponding LAU and NUTS codes. This metadata refers to the version 2019 of EBM, which is a full update of all the countries. The dataset is provided both in a full Europe dataset (Data_FullEurope) and divided by countries (Data_Countries) in GDB and SHP formats, compressed (ZIP) and not compressed. EBM 2019 contains the matching with the NUTS regulations No 2016/2066 (NUTS 2016) and refers to the administrative situation as it was in each country on 1 January 2018 (reference date). The EBM Full Europe database is containing Kosovo (KS) as an independent country, but the individual dataset of Serbia (RS) covers also Kosovo following Serbian legal position.

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 (1:100000) offers the combined strength of detailed European administrative units and linkages to the corresponding LAU and NUTS codes. This metadata refers to the version 2020 of EBM, which is a complete new update of the EBM product based on the new NUTS2016 regulation. The basis for the update was the previous release EBM 2019. The dataset is provided both in a full Europe dataset (Data_FullEurope) and divided by countries (Data_Countries) in GDB format. EBM 2020 contains the matching with the NUTS regulations No 2016/2066 (NUTS 2016) and refers to the administrative situation as it was in each country on 31 January 2018 (reference date). Names of administrative units and levels are stored with Unicode character set as well as standard ASCII. Considering the user requirements, it can also be distinguished between land and water parts of administrative units within EuroBoundaryMap.Territorial sea areas are included for a number of countries as an optional feature. This comprises territorial waters assigned to administrative units on lowest national level as well as territorial waters, which are directly administered by the national government. The definition of the territorial sea strictly follows the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. All territorial sea areas are attributed as coastal waters.
