Article 6Geographical coverage of the data collected#

1.By 31 December 2026, the Member States shall submit to the Commission the list of codes of local administrative units (LAU), as referred to in Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003, that correspond to the geographical coverage of the data that the Member States collected for each of their respective urban nodes for the purposes of this Regulation. The geographical coverage shall align with the boundaries of the identified LAU. The geographical coverage of an individual urban node may be composed of one or several LAUs.

2.Each LAU code shall be uniquely assigned to the geographical coverage of a single urban node and data pertaining to a specific LAU area shall therefore be submitted exclusively under the corresponding urban node and shall not be attributed to multiple urban nodes.

3.The urban mobility data submitted for each urban node shall cover the entire geographical area designated by its respective LAU codes.

4.If a Member State wishes to change the LAU codes used for the geographical coverage of an urban node identified in accordance with the procedure set out in this Article, it shall submit a notification to the Commission on or before 31 December of the calendar year preceding the reporting year, accompanied by a clear explanation of the reasons for the change.
