Postcodes and NUTS
All Eurostat regional statistics refer to NUTS. However, some data collections use postcodes to reference the geographic location. Therefore, Eurostat has created a link between postcodes and NUTS level 3 codes to use information that originally is coded only by postcodes.
Eurostat, other Commission departments and the European Investment Bank have expressed the need for a link between postcodes and NUTS codes to use in projects. The main use at Eurostat is in transport statistics, where this information helps identify the flows of goods transport on roads. Another use is to geocode address registers with the regional NUTS codes because postcodes are generally available as part of the address.
