Summary

For Finland, there is a difference between geographic classifications NUTS 2013 and NUTS 2016. There are two changes, both at the NUTS 3 geo level, with consequences for Data Buffet releases.

Detail

Motivation

Because of a boundary shift between adjacent areas at the NUTS 3 geo level, there is a change between the NUTS 2013 and NUTS 2016 standards; to wit, two areas have been issued new NUTS codes. Their names are unchanged.

In Finland, place names are conventionally given in two languages, Finnish and Swedish.

Our response

Created two new geo codes.
As each release is modified by the source, replaced time series.
