EuroRegionalMap (ERM) is a Pan-European topographic vector dataset at scale 1:250000, that is seamless and harmonized across boundaries. It is produced in cooperation by the National Mapping Agencies of the participating countries (NMCAs) using official national databases. Thematic layers: Administrative Boundaries (BND), Hydrography (HYDRO), Miscellaneous (MISC), Named Location (NAME), Settlement (POP), Transportation (TRANS), Vegetation and Soils (VEG) as well as Points of Interest. This metadata refers to the version 11.1 of ERM. For more information about the data product specifications and changes with respect to the previous version of this dataset (ERM v11 and ERMv10), please refer to the documents "ERM_v11-1_DataSpecification_EuroStat.pdf", "ERM_v11_TechnicalGuide.pdf" and "ERM(EC)_v11.1_Lineage_FullEurope.doc" provided with the dataset. Main changes with respect to these previous versions are that the NMCAs updated BND, HYDRO, MISC and NAME thematic layers, and that the Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) of the European Commission identified the Trans-European Transport Network for roads, railways, airports, ports and the watercourse system. 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 original metadata file created by EuroGeographics is provided together with the dataset under the "metadata" folder.

Thematic layers: Administrative Boundaries (BND), Hydrography (HYDRO), Miscellaneous (MISC), Named Location (NAME), Settlement (POP), Transportation (TRANS), Vegetation and Soils (VEG) as well as Points of Interest. This metadata refers to the version 2019 of ERM, with the general reference for the supply being December 2018. The dataset is provided both in GDB and SHP formats. Main changes with respect to versions ERM v11.0 and v11.1 are: - The administrative boundaries have been updated using EBM 2019 as data source. Some countries (Great Britain, Moldova and Romania) have slightly adapted them so to fit with the topographical features of ERM. - Update of transportation, settlement, vegetation themes. - Data from Ukraine as well as French Guiana (GF), Guadeloupe (GP), Martinique (MQ), Reunion (RE), Mayotte (YT), Saint Barthélemy (BL) and Saint Martin (MF) as overseas departments/collectivities of France belonging to the European Union are included in ERM 2019.
