Talk:International Territorial Level

Out of date?
I just downloaded LAU UK 2007 from Eurostat and it has UKM6 for Highlands and Islands. I haven't got time to edit this article but someone with more interest may have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.117.30 (talk) 16:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

C rather than 1?
I am confused by the following explanatory note: "The NUTS level 1 codes start with UKC rather than UK1 because...". I understand the reasoning itself, but there appear to be two questions here with only one answer:
 * 1) Why does the UK code use letters rather than numerals for this part of the code? [i.e. "starts at UKA" vs "starts at UK1"]
 * 2) Why do those letters start with 'C', not 'A'. [i.e. "starts at UKC" vs "starts at UKA"]

While writing this note, I decided that it would be best to come from less of a position of total ignorance, and on reading the parent NUTS article, I gathered that normally, the sequence would go "UK1, UK2, UK3 ... UK8, UK9, UKA, UKB, UKC ...". So, am I right in guessing that the reasoning was actually that the 11 codes from UK1 through to UKB had previously been assigned, and are now obsolete? Thus, UKC is the first unassigned code in the sequence, and thus not such a daft place to start the new codes. If so, perhaps this could be clarified in the article. Thanks. - IMSoP 20:21, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Your guess is correct: there used to be 11 NUTS level 1 areas in the UK (1-8 were the Standard Statistical Regions of England; while 9, A and B covered the three other parts of the UK). When the change was made, both old and new codes were used at every level for a short period, so they simply started the new codes from C; although some of the regions and countries had not changed at level 1, there were many more changes at levels 2 and 3.  If this makes sense, feel free to edit the article, but try to keep it brief as it is little more than a historical footnote. I will give it a go.--Henrygb 00:34, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you - I think your explanation in the article covers it fine. There might be grammatical/minor tweaks, but as you say it's not worth spending much time or space on; it just seemed weird before if you didn't figure that UK1..UKB was a sequence of 11 codes, rather than my initial thought of UKA..UKB being 2, and UK1..9 floating off to nowhere :/ Like I say, consider it now fixed. - IMSoP 11:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

New map required for Yorkshire & The Humber NUTS
I've noticed that the map for the Yorkshire & The Humber is now out of date since the 2010 changes as Calderdale, Kirklees & Wakefield NUTS areas UKE43 are now two separate areas - UKE44 Calderdale & Kirklees and UKE45 Wakefield. Can anyone update the map? BNC85 (talk) 09:48, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll fix this within the next few days. If there are any other discrepancies between the new 2010 regions and the maps, mention them here and I'll fix those too. --  Dr Greg   talk  19:41, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated Dr. Greg! BNC85 (talk) 15:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Completed as promised. I believe all the 2010 changes have now been incorporated into the maps. (The old maps are still available at commons:Category:NUTS maps of England for reference.) --  Dr Greg   talk  21:49, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

New NUTS division of England
The NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 regions listed in this article are outdated. Since January 1st, 2015 there are 40 NUTS 2 units (not 37), and 173 NUTS 3 units (not 139). Changes to NUTS division of UK were introduced by the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1319/2013 of 9 December 2013 amending annexes to Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS); see also Bulletin 2014/11: Changes to Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) areas in January 2015 and Local authority districts (2013) to NUTS, level 3 (2015) to NUTS, level 2 (2015) to NUTS, level 1 (2015) UK lookup.

NUTS 3 regions for Northern Ireland is out of date
According to this listing, the NUTS 3 regions for Northern Ireland have been changed. Please update the listing, as well as the map for Northern Ireland ASAP. 76.235.248.47 (talk) 22:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The section you linked to (Local Government Districts does not list NUTS, and the section of that article that does list NUTS (Local government in Northern Ireland) agrees with this article. Have your requested changes already been made? If not, please clarify what needs to be changed, and I would be happy to do it. In the meantime, I'm removing the "outdated" tag from the article. -- Perey (talk) 12:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
