Hi,
For EU countries, there is a scheme of administrative units called NUTS
(Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics). There is a description
here:
http://europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/ramon/nuts/introduction_regions_en.html
if you search around the web you can probably find a listing somewhere.
Eurogeographics sells/licenses administrative boundary data in the form of
a product called SABE (Seamless Administrative Boundaries of Europe):
http://www.eurogeographics.org/eng/03_projects_sabe.asp
Also try the SALB (Second Administrative Level Boundaries) site at the UN
WHO office. It has a list of codes for administrative levels (I'm not sure
if it's complete for Europe) for free, along with data where available:
http://www3.who.int/whosis/gis/salb/salb_home.htm
The following is probably less useful than the above links for your
purposes, but we have a list of the administrative boundary data that we
have collected for our global population database, the link to Europe is
at:

cheers,
