Territorial typologies (Tercet)

This procedure aims to establish a common system for classifying different types of territories across the European Union. By creating standardized definitions for urban, rural, and intermediate areas, the EU can better analyze regional disparities and ensure that funding and policies are targeted effectively based on a territory's specific characteristics.

This will affect regional authorities and statistical offices. It ensures that data used for EU regional development funding is consistent across all member states, allowing for fairer resource allocation.
