The Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) is a geocode standard for referencing the subdivisions of Belgium for statistical purposes.[1] The standard is developed and regulated by the European Union.[2] The NUTS standard is instrumental in delivering the European Union's Structural Funds. The NUTS code for Belgium is BE and a hierarchy of three levels is established by Eurostat. Below these is a further levels of geographic organisation - the local administrative unit (LAU). In Belgium, the LAUs are municipalities.
Below the NUTS levels, the two LAU (Local Administrative Units) levels are:
Level | Subdivisions | # |
---|---|---|
LAU 1 | — (same as NUTS 3) | 44 |
LAU 2 | Municipalities (Gemeenten/Communes) | 589 |
In the 2003 version, the Arrondissement of Verviers was coded BE333.
