DID YOU KNOW YOU LIVE IN AN EU โ€˜REGIONโ€™?

 

Find out where you live according to the EU

 

Since the late 1980s the EU has been using its own system for dividing up the countries of the EU into regions. In 2003, this was made into a formal Regulation of the EU Parliament and the EU Council.

 

The highest level is called โ€˜NUTS 0โ€™. This is its name. We kid you not. If you live in the UK dear reader, in fact you live in EU Region UK.

 

Why does the EU have this EU Regions system?

 

The official response from the EU is that it is necessary to breakdown countries into roughly equivalent blocks for statistical purposes.

 

However, here is what the EU itself says in the opening to its 2018 report :-

 

โ€œThe Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) was drawn up by Eurostat decades ago in order to provide a breakdown of the economic territory of the European Union(1) into territorial units for the production of regional statistics and for targeting political interventions at a regional level.โ€
