The INSPIRE initiative aims to strengthen spatial data infrastructure across Europe, aligning it with environmental policies like the Water Framework Directive. By fostering collaboration among various sectors and stakeholders, INSPIRE seeks to improve access to harmonized spatial data and enhance transparency in environmental management. Through user-driven approaches and legal underpinnings, the program emphasizes step-by-step implementation, addressing multi-sectoral needs and promoting international cooperation. Key provisions include ensuring accessibility to spatial information and establishing necessary coordinating bodies to maximize data utility.

Environmental policy and GI • Environmental policy triggers renewed focus on need for RSDI in Europe • Important role of Water Framework Directive • We realise quickly we need to work: • together across different sectors • within a broad international context • INSPIRE initiative
INSPIRE Characteristics • User driven • Legal initiative to support EU policies and for citizens • Framework : long term vision, step by step implementation • Multi-sectoral and multi-level • ESDI comprises: • spatial information services, • data policy, • spatial information requirements and implementation timetable, • organisational/institutional issues.
INSPIRE: process characteristics • Transparency • Follow the process from the very beginning through the INSPIRE Website - includes intermediate documents and summaries of meetings! • http://europa.eu.int/comm/environment/geo/index.htm • Openness • INSPIRE Expert group with participation of broad range of stakeholders including at international level (e.g. UN, WPLA) • Discussion at international fora • Internet consultation planned

INSPIRE Key provisions • Require MS to provide access to spatial information through harmonised MS information services: • Find, view, access, query, trade spatial information • Require MS to provide harmonised spatial data: • on environmental themes • on common issues • on other sectors • Require MS to implement access policy to maximise the benefits from information use, e.g. • view and query of metadata • view of information by the public • Set up necessary co-ordinating and implementing mechanisms
INSPIRE Outlook • 2002-2003: State of play project • September 2002: final position papers of WG’s • November 2002-December 2002: Internet consultation • 2nd quarter 2003?: Adoption of proposal by Commission • 2005?: Adoption of INSPIRE Framework legislation • 2005+: Implementation of framework
Beyond the EU • Inspiration from Europe’s approach • Environmental policy gains momentum at the global scale • WSSD Johannesburg: EU launches two Strategic partnerships on Water (EU-Africa and EU-Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia) • Joint platform and action plans, • Increasing the knowledge base, • River basin management
