Outline INSPIRE Directive (Components and structure) Implementing Rule development Timing and Status of the INSPIRE components

INSPIRE Directive INSPIRE lays down 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. INSPIRE to be based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States INSPIRE is a distributed infrastructure. INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data INSPIRE does not affect existing Intellectual Property Rights Entry into force 15 May 2007
