==History==
Up until 2016, the first level NUTS regions of France consisted of Ile de France, Bassin Parisien, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, Est, Ouest, Sud-Ouest, Centre-Est, Méditerranée and the Départements d'outre-mer.<ref>http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/345175/629341/NUTS+1981-1999, [[Eurostat]] accessed 2 March 2017</ref> The Départements d'outre-mer consisted of all the overseas departments of France, while the remaining eight statistical regions were made up of the 22 regions of France.

A law passed in 2014 by the French parliament reduced the number of metropolitan regions in the country from 22 to 13. The decrease took effect from 1 January 2016.<ref>http://www.lemonde.fr/politique/article/2014/12/17/la-carte-a-13-regions-definitivement-adoptee_4542278_823448.html, [[Le Monde]], 17 December 2014, accessed 2 March 2017</ref> As a result, the first level NUTS statistical regions were altered to reflect the changes. The number of first level regions was increased to 14 so that each of the 13 metropolitan regions of France became a separate first level statistical region.<ref>http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/history, [[Eurostat]] accessed 2 March 2017</ref>

==Départements d'outre-mer==

Although the [[Départements d'outre-mer]], as integrated departments of France, have always been a part of the European Union and its predecessors, they were only officially included as a permanent NUTS statistical area of France in 1989. When they did appear in previous statistics the first and second level NUTS areas were one and the same; from 1989, [[Guadeloupe]], [[Martinique]], [[French Guiana]] and [[Réunion|La Réunion]] were designated as separate level 2 regions.<ref>http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/345175/629341/NUTS+1981-1999, [[Eurostat]] accessed 2 March 2017</ref>
