As a candidate country of the European Union, Turkey (TR) is included in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). Defined in 2002 in agreement between Eurostat and the Turkish authorities, Turkey's NUTS classifications are officially termed statistical regions, as Turkey is not a member of the EU and Eurostat only defines NUTS for member states.[1] The three NUTS levels are:
- NUTS-1: 12 Regions
- NUTS-2: 26 Subregions
- NUTS-3: 81 Provinces
Below the NUTS levels, there are two LAU levels:
- LAU-1: 923 districts
- LAU-2: 37,675 municipalities[2]
