What are the
objectives ?
17ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
INSPIRE principles
Data should be collected once and maintained at the level where this can be done most effectively
It should be possible to combine seamless spatial information from different sources across Europe and share it between many users and application
It should be possible for information collected at one level to be shared between all the different levels, detailed for detailed investigations, general for strategic purposes
It should be easy to discover which geographic information is available, fits the needs for a particular use and under which conditions it can be acquired and used
Geographic data should become easy to understand and interpret because it can be visualised within the appropriate context selected in a user-friendly way
18ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
INSPIRE objectives
Make relevant, harmonised spatial data available for Community Environmental Policy (formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation - Art.
175(1)) and for the citizen ...
… through the establishment of integrated spatial information services, based upon a distributed network of databases, linked by common standards and protocols to ensure
compatibility.
INSPIRE
Legislative process
20ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Co-decision procedure
21ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Status after first reading
EP first reading opinion adopted 7 June 2005—generally acceptable for the Commission
Commission and Council not able to agree at first reading
Unanimous political agreement reached in Council on 24 June 2005, without support of Commission
Four MSs expressed similar concerns to Commission
22ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Key points of disagreement
Procedure for adopting implementing rules on interoperability; uniform application
Public access to data: free-of-charge view services; IPR as ground for limiting access
Sharing between public authorities: need to ensure charging and licensing practices compatible with this overall objective
23ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Latest news EP 2nd reading amendments adopted 13 June 2006
36 amendments in total Many amendments address issues of concern raised by Commission on Common Position
Commission accepts 30 amendments in full, 5 amendments in principle or in part, does not accept 1 amendment
24ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Next steps
Council has four months to react to EP amendments First WP meeting last Friday 8/9
Conciliation procedure follows Agreement must be found by end of 2006
Formal conciliation to be avoided.

Status DT Network Services
Detailed definition of INSPIRE network services The clarification of scope and detailed definition have been done for:
A reference model, including “horizontal services” (UAA, DRM, e-commerce),
Discovery and upload services, View services
Analysis of reference material from SDICs/LMOs More than 100 documents and projects relating to network services
A template to help evaluation has been defined A part of the reference material has been analysed

Data policy issuesData sharing
• To create a framework for data sharing amongst public authorities for the performance of public tasks
39ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Status DT Data & Service Sharing
Provisional terms and definitions Already defined in the INSPIRE Common Position or in other Directives (e.g: spatial data, public task)
Relevant but not defined so needing working definition (e.g: licence)
Relevant but dependent upon the political process (e.g. obstacle, point of use) → final INSPIRE Directive
Categories for collecting user requirements e.g.: Types of data Types of services Types of user Rights of use, types of usage Procedure License model preferred

Status DT Monitoring & Reporting
Guidelines for defining indicators Goals of the directive Who will use the indicators? Characteristics of indicators?
Automatic tools? Analysis of the directive First draft of list of indicators
42ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
Example: Sharing Indicators
Objective : Enabling data-sharing between public authorities for environment purposes
Draft indicators : Accessibility (who can use data sets)
Number of public authorities (International/ European/ National/ Regional/ Local) with arrangements (agreements, laws, …) to access data sets (annexes I, II, III)
Usability What can be done with data sets? For free or with fees?
Other? Automated information from Metadata : restriction of use (security), constraints (legal conditions)

INSPIRE
Annex:Provisions foreseen in the proposal for a
Directive
50ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
I - general provisions
Establish an infrastructure for spatial information in the EU to support: environmental policies and policies that directly or indirectly affect the environment,
Based on infrastructures of the Member States that include metadata, spatial data sets and services; network
services; agreements on sharing, access and use; and co-ordination and monitoring mechanisms, processes and procedures.
51ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
I - general provisions
What is covered ? spatial data
related to EU territory, in electronic format, public sector data, covers themes in annex I, II and III. (provisions for third party data - but always
subject to third party consent) ”spatial data services” for those spatial
data
52ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
II - metadata
Establishment of catalogues for spatial data and for services
Progressive implementation until 6 years after entry into force of Directive
Metadata is the “fuel” of the search engine to the spatial information
53ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
III - interoperability
Harmonised spatial data specifications the key to solving problems with data inconsistency adopted through comitology more stringent for Annex I and II than for Annex III earlier for Annex I than for Annex II and III
(Arrangements for the exchange of spatial data)
54ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
III - interoperability
Harmonised spatial data specifications Common system of unique identifiers for spatial objects Relationship between spatial objects Key attributes and multilingual thesauri How to exchange the temporal dimension of data Updates exchange Consistency between items referring to the same location Consistency between information referring to the same object at
different scales Implementing rules by 2 years after entry into force for Annex I Implementing rules by 5 years after entry into force for Annex
II, III 2 years after adoption of the implementing rules: new or
updated spatial data must be compliant
55ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
IV - network services
discovery services (free of charge); view services (free of charge); download services; transformation services; services to invoke “spatial data services”
56ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
IV - network services
Network services are the window to INSPIRE Community Geo-portal, in addition to national
access points Various derogations
confidentiality if provided by law public security and national defence, course of justice, confidentiality, protection of the environment etc…
Services can run on top of existing systems: no need to replace them!
57ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
V - data sharing and re use
For public authorities: barrier-free sharing of spatial data sets and
services… for public tasks that may have a direct or
indirect impact on the environment. access of institutions and bodies of the
Community (For third parties:
Implementing Rules to reduce barriers for re-use to be adopted by comitology)
58ESTAT - D2 Regional Indicators and Geographical Information
VI - co-ordination and complementary measures
Co-ordination at Member State level: to be organised by the MS, should include users, producers, added-value service providers and co-ordinating bodies
Co-ordination at EU level: by Commission with support of EEA
Implementation of many measures supported by Implementing Rules adopted by Comitology
