Seven Thematic Strategies
1. Clean Air For Europe (CAFE) 2. Soil protection 3. Sustainable use of pesticides 4. Marine environment 5. Waste prevention and recycling 6. Sustainable use of natural resources 7. Urban environment
Four Priorities
1. Climate Change 2. Nature and Biodiversity3. Environment and Health4. Natural resources and waste
+ Mitigation of natural and man-made hazards leading to disasters
Emphasis on « knowledge-based » policy making, assessment and implementation

Policy Needs
• Better information needed to support policies
• Improvement of existing information flows
• Differentiation across regions to be considered
• Revision of approach to reporting and monitoring, moving to concept of sharing of information
But … EU has islands of
information & data of different standards and
quality...

Situation in Europe1. Data policy restrictions
– pricing, copyright, access rights, licensing policy
2. Lack of co-ordination– across boarders and
between levels of government
3. Lack of standards – incompatible information
and information systems4. Existing data not re-usable
– fragmentation of information, redundancy, inability to integrate
5. Missing data 6. Data quality
• Not comparable, not timely available, …
July 2004 - EC Proposal COM(2004) 516 for a Directive establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in the Community – INSPIRE
DIRECTIVE 2007/2/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCILof 14 March 2007establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE)
Entry into Force on 15 May 2007
Transposed in National Law by 15 May 2009

INSPIRE principlesINSPIRE principles• Data should be collected once and maintained at the level
where this can be done most effectively
• Combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources and share it between many users and applications (the concept of interoperability)
• Spatial data should be collected at one level of government and shared between all levels
• Spatial data needed for good governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive use
• It should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its fitness for purpose and to know which conditions apply for its use

Bringing data together Bringing data together through a Spatial Data Infrastructurethrough a Spatial Data Infrastructure
Data easily discoverable
and accessible to users
Like a road infrastructure makes it possible to
connect different sites, a spatial data infrastructure
makes it possible to connect data located at
different sources
Easier development of new applications

General ProvisionsGeneral Provisions
• general rules to establish an infrastructure for spatial information in Europe for the purposes of Community environmental policies and policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment
• based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States
• does not require collection of new spatial data
Spatial Data Sets
• held by or on behalf of a public authority operating down to the lowest level of government when laws or regulations require their collection or dissemination
• 34 Spatial Data Themes
Data Scope
Annex I1. Coordinate reference

Example: Directive on the Example: Directive on the Assessment and Management of Floods Assessment and Management of Floods
• A preliminary flood risk assessment – Including art.4 a-f
• (e) Likelihood of future floods and projected impact of climate change and land use trends
• Prepare flood risk maps by 2013 – with 6 yearly updates
• Flood risk management plans by 2015

Data Policies : sharing between public bodies
Article 17: sharing• open to:
• public authorities of other Member States • to the institutions and bodies of the Community
• derogations:• the course of justice, public security, national defence or
international relations• Arrangements
• arrangements:• may be accompanied by requirements under national law
conditioning their use.
Data policy: sharing with the public
• Article 11: Network Services available to the public • shall be easy to use• accessible via the Internet or any other appropriate
means of telecommunication
• Article 13: Derogations• IPR, confidentiality, course of law, international
relations, public security, national defence, protection environment, …
• interpreted in a restrictive way, public interest test
Article 18
• Member States shall ensure that appropriate structures and mechanisms are designated for coordinating, across the different levels of government, the contributions of all those with an interest in their infrastructures for spatial information.• users, producers, added-value service providers• user needs
• The Commission at EU level assisted by relevant organisations and, in particular, by the European Environment Agency.
Co-ordination
Implementing Rules (IR)
• Objective :
• To ensure that the spatial data infrastructures of the Member States are compatible and usable in an EU and trans-boundary context.
• Scope of the Implementing Rules:
1) Metadata2) Network Services 3) Spatial Data and Spatial Data Service Specifications4) Data and Service Sharing 5) Monitoring and Reporting
• Adopted as Commission Regulations/Decisions (No transposition)
• Following a logical roadmap

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services
• "Living well, within the limits of our planet", will guide environment policy up to 2020
• to enhance Europe's ecological resilience and transform the EU into an inclusive and sustainable green economy
EU Environment Action Programme to 2020 (7th EAP)
EU Environment Action Programme to 2020 (7th EAP)
• Three thematic priority objectives• Protect nature and strengthen ecological resilience • Boost sustainable resource-efficient low-carbon growth • Effectively address environment-related threats to health.
• Supported by enabling framework• promote better implementation of EU environment law • ensure that policies benefit from state of the art science • secure the necessary investments• improve the way environmental concerns and requirements are reflected in other
policies.
• Two more priority objectives• enhancing the sustainability of EU cities• improving the EU's effectiveness in addressing regional and global challenges
related to the environment and climate change.
