The goal of regionalization is multifaceted - political, developmental, economic, historical, cultural, demographic setting.

The European Union attaches great importance of joint regional policy of the member states of the integration. The regional policy is one of the fundamental policies of the European Union, which aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion by reducing disparities in levels of development between countries and regions in Europe. Regional Policy of the European Union provides the kind of opportunities and possibilities for regional development of member states. To what extent these policies contribute to the regional development of each country, largely depends on how much the member states and their regions manage the chance to take advantage of the right way. Choice model of regionalization is specificum each country, and in this respect we can say that there is only one, single, universal model that could be applicable in each country. In this paper, at the same time, data classification regions in the European Union (NUTS classification) and gives a brief overview of the region in the approximation Community.
