Nomenclatorul comun al unităților teritoriale de statistică (NUTS)
Uniunea Europeană a creat un nomenclator comun al unităților teritoriale de statistică, denumit NUTS, pentru a facilita colectarea, dezvoltarea și publicarea unor statistici regionale armonizate în UE. Acest sistem ierarhic este folosit și pentru realizarea de analize socioeconomice în cadrul regiunilor, ca și pentru încadrarea intervențiilor în contextul politicii de coeziune a UE.
