Changes (3): Proposed workflow (Page 5 of E4/REG/2014/52) ALL NSI send to Eurostat BY 30 JUNE LAU list via EDAMIS Information about LAU changes (Yes/No, if Yes details) City boundary changes (Yes/No, if Yes details) Emerging city (Yes/No, if Yes details) Eurostat validates Checks coherency between cities and DEGURBA codes Assigns new codes (if necessary) & publishes LAU list October 2014
