Use limitation

Generalised dataset derived from EuroGeographics, Turkstat and UN-FAO GI data. The dataset may be used and distributed if: The source (EuroGeographics and UN-FAO) is acknowledged, AND the data is not used for commercial purpose, AND the original geometry is generalised to the equivalent of a scale of 1:1.000.000 or smaller. The source, copyright and branding will be acknowledged if the geographic data are used in Commission products. The acknowledgement will be displayed as “@EuroGeographics” on the map or in an acknowledgement text. The size of the text on the map will be proportional to the size of the map. The maximum length of copyright texts on electronic maps (web maps or electronic applications) is 20 characters. No copyright text will be applied for online icon maps with less than 150 x 150 pixels.

Dataset

Statement

The dataset is based on the geometry from EBM v2020. of EuroGeographics for the members of Eurogeographics, and the generalised scales are based on GISCO Countries 2016 due to the lack of updates of the UN FAO Gaul dataset. This resulted in a common repository of geometry of which the different datasets were derived. The different scale levels were derived of generalisations of the common repository on 100K scale. This means that within each scale level the feature classes of all these datasets: COMM_2020, NUTS_2021, CNTR_2020,EEZ_2020 and COAS_2020, are fully coherent and compliant. Each scale level in the CNTR_2020 dataset consists of 2 feature classes (regions and boundaries) The boundaries and regions are related to each other through a relationship table. In addition to the region and boundary feature classes there is also 1 label feature class which is scale independent. For each CNTR in the region feature class there is exactly 1 label and an associated record in the CNTR_AT table which contains names and poltical status.
