Background GISCO working group meeting 23-24/10/2003

Background Support to unit E1 “Agricultural Statistics – Methods” on characterisation of rural areas Indicators for describing rural areas Length of traffic network Accessibility to public services, i.e. primary schools GISCO has had several different tasks during the last year. As many of the points will be presented later, I will concentrate on the update of the database including the quality control, the Farm Structure Survey project, the TANDEM project, the GIS WG for the WFD and briefly explain about the various GIS projects to which GISCO participates.
