Data details

Name Geographic Information System of the COmission (GISCO) Country Boundary Layer 1:100000
Note Within Eurostat, Geographic Information System of the COmission (GISCO) is responsible for meeting the European Commission's geographical information needs at 3 levels: the European Union (EU), its member countries, and its regions. It provides core geographical data such as boundaries and thematic geospatial information. The most important Location Framework on EU Level is the Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) classification which can be downloaded free of charge. The GISCO Boundary Layer 1:100000 is a specific layer and has to be requested at the statistical office of the European Union (EUROSTAT).

Administrative Boundaries Partially The Geographic Information System of the COmission (GISCO) dataset has been used as complementing data source for creating the boundary file (HRL IMD); it is only partially compliant due to unsufficient geometric accuracy which in some areas made manual editing necessary.
