NUTS was created by the European Office for Statistics (Eurostat) as a single hierarchical classification of spatial units used for statistical production across the European Union (EU).
At the top of the hierarchy are the individual member states of the EU; below that are levels 1 to 3, then LAU levels 1 and 2.
Note that LAUs were only introduced in July 2003; before this there had been five different NUTS levels.
