European Commission EUROSTAT E4 INSPIRE Directive Data specifications Annex II and III EC INSPIRE TEAM Joint Research Centre - Directorate-General Environment – EUROSTAT beatrice.eiselt@ec.europa.eu European Commission EUROSTAT E4 Now that the INSPIRE entered recently into force, Member States, their regions and the Commission are faced with important challenges related to its implementation. Implementing INSPIRE will require commitment and efforts from many public authorities and organisations which are dealing with data related to the environment. Faced with these challenges it may be worthwhile to look again at why we actually need an INSPIRE directive and how it fits in with recent environmental policy developments at Community level

Where can I find… …comparable geographic information for distinct administrative areas? Challenge: identify, access and use geographic information fragmentation gaps in availability, duplication data policy restrictions / pricing policies lack of data harmonisation: standards, quality lack of infrastructure better coordination needed

INSPIRE Principles maintain data at the most effective level; share between all levels; combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources; use conditions  not restrict extensive use; discover, evaluate, use data.

TWGs to participate TWG - Statistical units and Population distribution Statistical Units: Units for dissemination or use of statistical information. Population distribution — demography: Geographical distribution of people, including population characteristics and activity levels, aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit. TWG - Utility and governmental services Includes utility facilities such as sewage, waste management, energy supply and water supply, administrative and social governmental services such as public administrations, civil protection sites, schools and hospitals. TWG - Production and industrial facilities Industrial production sites, including installations covered by Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control (1) and water abstraction facilities, mining, storage sites. TWG - Area management/restriction, regulation zones & reporting units Areas managed, regulated or used for reporting at international, European, national, regional and local levels. Includes dumping sites, restricted areas around drinking water sources, nitrate-vulnerable zones, regulated fairways at sea or large inland waters, areas for the dumping of waste, noise restriction zones, prospecting and mining permit areas, river basin districts, relevant reporting units and coastal zone management areas. http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf

Statistical units Units for dissemination or use of statistical information:  areas, lines, points Sub-grouping of administrative units official administrative units government management zones blocks, census and statistical districts civil security units environmental reporting and management units postal codes/ regions No thematic information http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf

Population distribution – demography Geographical distribution of people, including population characteristics and activity levels, aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit. Broad sub-themes: population characteristics Tot. population, age, gender… population/ human activity levels Resource exploitation, agricultural production http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf

Utility and governmental services (INSPIRE, 2007) Includes utility facilities such as sewage, waste management, energy supply and water supply, administrative and social governmental services such as public administrations, civil protection sites, schools and hospitals. A very broad INSPIRE theme including different kinds of objects: Oil and gas pipelines Water pipelines Sewage pipelines Transmission lines- electrical Transmission lines-phone/ data/cable-TV Wastewater treatment facilities and waste storage Environmental protection facilities (e.g. anti-noise constructions) http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf

Production and industrial facilities (INSPIRE, 2007) Industrial production sites, including installations covered by Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control * and water abstraction facilities, mining, storage sites. * OJ L 257, 10.10.1996, p.26 Directive as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1882/2003 Location of production industry, mines, waste/disposal sites and energy production facilities. Concerning industry these may be chemical, hydrocarbons (oil-gas), mines or any other industry. Usage of PRTR categories as common nomenclature for such facilities is relevant as it comprises a very broad set relevant industrial activities. The categorisation may be mapped to other international categorisation systems like NACE, SERIEE or ISIC. The definition mentions also water abstraction, mining and storage sites. The latter may be storage sites for different kinds of "products" needed as input in industrial/production processes, or may be seen as storage sites for real products and also form "waste" from the production process. http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf

Area management/restriction, regulation zones & reporting units (INSPIRE, 2007) Areas managed, regulated or used for reporting at international, European, national, regional and local levels. Includes dumping sites, restricted areas around drinking water sources, nitrate-vulnerable zones, regulated fairways at sea or large inland waters, areas for the dumping of waste, noise restriction zones, prospecting and mining permit areas, river basin districts, relevant reporting units and coastal zone management areas. A wide range of management areas both at European, national, regional and local levels. The themes and its feature types allow information content from any sector – e.g. environmental, transport, health, education, energy, fisheries, agriculture. Sector-specific management areas contain information about management zones in sectors, not already being covered by the INSPIRE theme "Administrative units". Examples: health care management regions, defence enrolment regions, school regions, fire fighter management regions, police responsibility regions, rescue operation regions, National and IMO adopted Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS) and Deep Water Routes, Military Practice Areas, Explosive Dumping Grounds etc. http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.3_Definition_of_Annex_Themes_and_scope_v3.0.pdf
