Definition: Address: county/administrative division. The county or similar administrative division of counterparties resident in European Union Member States. This is the county/administrative division (NUTS 3 classification) of the place (the city, town or village) where the counterparty is officially located (e.g. in accordance with the business register, if applicable).

Reporting qualification: This data attribute is reported for all counterparties resident in a reporting Member State (RMS). While a general reporting obligation also applies for servicers resident in an RMS, the relevant NCB may decide not to collect this information from individual reporting agents (cf. Table 2 in Annex III to the AnaCredit Regulation). When this data attribute is not required by the relevant NCB, the value “not required” is reported. There is no obligation to report the county/administrative division for counterparties not resident in an RMS. In these cases, the value “not required” is reported (cf. Table 3 in Annex III to the AnaCredit Regulation).

Values: String of characters: NUTS 3 regions. Revision mark: the clarifications concerning foreign branches are streamlined, taking into consideration the general explanations provided in Section 12.2.2.3 31 May 2019 AnaCredit Reporting Manual – Part II – Datasets and data attributes General reporting instructions, specific cases and examples The address is reported in line with the residency of the institutional unit according to Article 1(4) of Regulation (EC) No 2533/98. The county/administrative division of a foreign branch differs from the one of the legal entity to which it belongs (cf. Section 12.2.2.3 which deals with the applicability and scope of counterparty reference data attributes for foreign branches and special funds). For counterparties resident in the European Union, the Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics (NUTS) applies. This is a hierarchical geocode standard for referencing the subdivisions of countries for statistical purposes, developed and regulated by the European Union. For each EU Member State, a hierarchy of three NUTS levels is established by Eurostat. The subdivisions in some levels do not necessarily correspond to administrative divisions within the country. For more information about the use of NUTS 3 codes, including their versioning, please refer to Section 2.4. As in the case of the data attribute “real estate collateral location” (cf. Section 9.4.7), the information on NUTS 3 regions is derived centrally by the ECB on the basis of the postal code of the counterparty, according to the information available on the Eurostat website31, and the data attribute “address: county/administrative division” need not be reported to AnaCredit, provided that the postal code is reported. However, if reporting agents opt to report the data attribute “address: county/administrative division”, please note that the current NUTS 3 classification came into effect on 1 January 2018. Accordingly, for reporting reference dates from 1 January 2018 onwards, this data attribute is based on the amended classification (cf. Section 2.4). Therefore, the data attribute “address: county/administrative division” is reported only when the information about the postal code of the counterparty is not reported, while it is reported as “not required” when a postal code is reported.
