Mapping of the European textile, clothing, footwear and leather territories
In order to identify geographically the textile, clothing,
leather and footwear territories in the EU 27, ACTE has elaborated
a number of maps at NUTS2 level (regions). The data source of all maps is
Eurostat. The maps include data from 2000, 2005 and 2006 of Section D (Manufacturing)
according to the NACE Rev. 1.1 system of classification. The specific divisions
taken under consideration are divisions 17 (Manufacture
of textiles), 18 (Manufacture of wearing apparel,
dressing and dyeing of fur), and 19 (Tanning and
dressing of leather; manufacture of luggage, handbags, saddlery, harness
and footwear).
The maps illustrate both the share of textile, clothing,
leather and footwear sectors in total industrial employees and the
density of employees of these sectors within the
different European regions.
