% completed, Nov 2007

Current status - CLC2006

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

No start or small progress in the 10 largest countries

Half of the countries are working on implementation

Altogether 7.1 % of total area has been interpreted

Problems

Having CLC2006 finished for 38 countries by end 2008 is a difficult task!

National deadline in many countries is end 2008. European dataset will not be completed by end 2008!

CLC2006 in Slovenia (1)

Starting national tender: 22 Febr 2007

Selection of the partner: 20 March Start of the project: 4 AprilTraining by CLC Technical Team: 14

May1st verification: .. June2nd verification: .. August Both databases completed: end October Metadata and report completed: early

November

Longer than the planned 94 days

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

Methodology: standard

Reference data: topomaps (1:25.000), orthophotos

CLC2006 in Slovenia (2)

Results:Corrections in CLC2000Altogether 220 change polygons (5 times more than in

CLC2000) Mostly related to forestry: 312-324, 311-324, 313-324,

324-311and constructions: 313-133, 311-133, 242-133

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

Good project organisation, no major problems (Project Manager)

Reasons of the delay:Waiting for satellite images, 2nd verification, delivery

guidelines,, etcDelayed implementation of corrections

Change examples, Romania

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

New construction site

Change examples, Romania

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

Increased mineral extraction site

Change examples, Romania

ETC / EIONET workshop, EEA, 12-13 Nov 2007

Loss of green urban areas by new construction

Conclusions and proposals

Implementation of CLC2006 is going on without technical difficulties

Progress is slower than expected because getting 38 national projects implemented in the same time frame is difficult

Lessons for GMES leadersEEA has started discussions with ‘silent’ countriesIn January 2008 different scenarios to complete

the work by 2008 will be evaluated (to be decided by the Steering Committee)
