Seven Thematic Strategies
Four Priorities
1. Climate Change
2. Nature and Biodiversity
3. Environment and Health
4. Natural resources and waste
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
+ Mitigation of natural and man-made hazards leading to disasters
Emphasis on « knowledge-based » policy making, assessment and
implementation

Challenges
Policy Needs
• Better information needed
to support policies
• Improvement of existing
information flows
2002
But … EU has
islands of
information &
data of different
standards and
quality...
• Differentiation across
regions to be considered
• Revision of approach to
reporting and monitoring,
moving to concept of sharing
of information
3
Status 2002
Situation in Europe
1. 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 systems
4. Existing data not re-usable
– fragmentation of
information, redundancy,
inability to integrate
5. Missing data
NOT
INSPIRE
6. Data quality
• Not comparable, not timely
available, …
Response
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 COUNCIL
of 14 March 2007
establishing 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 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
5
Bringing data together
through a Spatial Data Infrastructure
Data easily
discoverable
and accessible
to users
Easier
development of
new applications
and services
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

General 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

operating down to the lowest level of government
when laws or regulations require their collection
or dissemination

Example: Directive on the
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
Co-ordination
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.
Technical Standards
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:

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010
as regards interoperability of
spatial data sets and services
EU Environment Action Programme to 2020 (7th EAP)
• "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)
• 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.
