1. During ongoing development of our repository, we inadvertently created duplicate codes for nine select areas at the NUTS 1 and 2 levels. In response, we have renamed all series using the "old" geo code listed below to the "new" geo code. This enforces consistency and facilitates retrievals. Legacy references using the old geo codes will elicit the "series not found" error when next run.

2. Our rule is that areas at the NUTS 1, 2 and 3 levels within country IXXX shall have geo codes of the forms IXXX_^^^^, IXXX_^^, and IXXX_^^^, respectively, thereby facilitating wild card retrieval. In the following eight cases (all within Scotland), the geo codes did not follow that pattern. In response, we have created new geo codes and renamed all such series.
