".
The purpose of this report is to amend Regulation (EC) 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and the Council on the establishment of territorial units for statistics (NUTS), in light of the most recent enlargement, with the aim of providing a single, uniform means of subdividing territorial units when drawing up regional statistics for the Union.
The opportunity created by EU enlargement has facilitated the introduction of necessary amendments aimed at making the system more efficient, of which I should like to highlight the redefinition of the framework of the existing administrative units and the provision relating to a category of smaller administrative units.
The provision of smaller administrative units will enable us to remedy the lack of uniformity that has characterised the NUTS classification, with the same level applying, for instance, to the whole of Sweden and to the Brussels region.
I agree with the rapporteur that greater emphasis could be placed on certain elements. He says, for example, that it is not desirable at the moment to change the legal basis of the proposal amending the regulation and he calls on the Commission to issue a communication on the matter."@en1
