After consultation with Federation of Inspection Agencies (IFIA), Taipei other regional United Nations commissions (ECLAC and EDIFACT Committee (TEC). ESCAP) and with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a programme of action for the development of a code was agreed in September 1977.

The Working Party, at its forty-second Practices for Administration Commerce and Transport session in September 1995, approved a second edition (UN/CEFACT), of Recommendation No. 16, based on secretariat proposals for amendments and including an Annex Being aware of the need for an intemationally agreed containing the UN/LOCODE Manual. code system to represent names of certain locations of interest in international trade and transport; As a result of re-engineering its structures and work in order to become more efficient and effective, in March of Considering that the code system should be based on 1997 the Working Party on Facilitation of International the two-letter alphabetic codes for the representation of Trade Procedures became the Centre for the Facilitation names of countries, adopted in International Standard of Procedures and Practices for Administration, ISO 3166 and recommended by the Working Party in Commerce and Transport (UN/CEFACT).

The solution preferred LONDRA; WARZSAW - VARSOVIE - WARSZAWA - was to add two characters designating the country, in WARSCHAU), which creates confusion and difficulties in accordance with International Standard ISO data interchange.

Nearly every country has a different addressing system. Most countries have a postcode system which indicates the delivery zone or office. When a letter is sent to a given country, it needs to be addressed correctly and with the postcode in the position required by that country. However, some countries do not have a postcode system or have one but do not use it.

  • Country Codes in ISO 3166 Page 1 of 10 Country Codes in ISO 3166
    Country codes in ISO 3166 Page 1 of 10 Country codes in ISO 3166 Page last modified: 2003-07-25 Data last modified: 2003-07-25 This file lists the codes for each country provided in ISO 3166. There are two tables: existing codes and withdrawn codes (codes can be withdrawn because the country no longer exists, the name has significantly changed, or one or more codes has altered). Each country or territory has three codes: l a two letter code l a three letter code l a three digit code The numeric code identifies a physical territory, and the letters a country name. Thus when Germany reunified, it kept DE/DEU but changed from 280 to 276, while when Southern Rhodesia was renamed Zimbabwe it stayed 716 but changed from RH/RHO to ZW/ZWE. There is also a numeric version of the two letter code not given here, calculated as 1070+30a+b, where a and b are the two letters of the code converted by A=1, B=2, etc. So AA=1101, AB=1102, BA=1131, and ZZ=1876. Changes to ISO 3166 are managed by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency (ISO3166/MA). Codes withdrawn from use may not be reused for five years. The two letter codes AA, QM to QZ, XA to XZ, and ZZ, all three letter codes beginning with those pairs, and numeric codes beginning 9, are available for individual use and will not be allocated to countries. The codes OO, OOO, and 000 are designated for use as "escape codes" to indicate that additional codes are being used.

  • Note on Definition of Regions for Statistical Analysis
    Committee for the Coordination of Statistical Activities SA/2006/15 Eighth Session Montreal, 4-5 September 2006 30 August 2006 Item 6 of the provisional agenda ================================================================== Note on definition of regions for statistical analysis Prepared by UNSD 1. Background The need to define regional aggregations that would allow a meaningful statistical analysis has long been a concern of the international statistical community. This has become more evident with the new monitoring requirements and with the increasing demand for consistency in the analysis, presentation and reporting across the UN-system and other international agencies, on development issues. A large number of official reports are produced every year by specialized agencies and other UN entities, which present country data according to a regional/geographical classification and often regional and sub-regional aggregates (based on average or other aggregation methods). Regional aggregates are a convenient way to show trends and assess progress over time and differences across the various areas of the world. However, practices vary among the various international agencies and regional groupings and classification of countries are based on different criteria. With the increasing use of statistics and statistical analysis by a large audience, including country delegations, policy makers, the media and the general public, a consistent use of nomenclature for geographical and other country groupings has become a real necessity.
