Report on Member State progress
in implementing the Directive

2. INSPIRE monitoring decision
Commission Decision 2009/442/EC
Yearly monitoring
List of datasets falling under INSPIRE and related services
Indicators about (non exclusive list):
Metadata (existence, conformity, accessibility)
Conformity of spatial datasets and services
Accessibility of datasets through services

3. Process till 2015 ? Reporting tools - INSPIRE Dashboard Member State
Providing XML files
EIONET Reportnet
Reporting to
Member State

4. (automated monitoring)
Reporting tools - INSPIRE Dashboard
2 alternative processes now
Dashboard #1
(for view)
EIONET Reportnet
Creates XML file used for reporting
Dashboard #2
(automated monitoring)
XML files used for
EIONET Reportnet
Reporting to
harvests
Member State
Member State

5. Reporting tools - INSPIRE Dashboard
Automated monitoring (Dashboard #2)
Generate an XML monitoring file automatically out of national catalogues
Review the indicators automatically calculated and possibly proceed to updates in the catalogue (in which case, rerun 1)
Load and edit the XML file into the web form application. Save the modified XML file
Upload the XML file to Reportnet

6. Two INSPIRE-Dashboards:
Reporting tools - Development in Member States
Two INSPIRE-Dashboards:
XML files are manually uploaded
Visualization
Access constraint (EIONET account)
Harvesting of national CSW and calculation of INSPIRE monitoring (XML)

17. Number of records per theme
Performance indicators
EEA Management Board, in its recommendations regarding the COWI report on the evaluation of the EEA, March 2013, agreed, together with EEA management (e.g.) to
regarding effectiveness:
improve the already well-functioning dialogue with key stakeholders; further strengthening the relationship with Eionet.
to maintain the necessary high quality of its outputs;
regarding efficiency:
to further improve the current procedures in order to strengthen the strategic governance functions of the Management Board and its Bureau;
to simplify the structure, specify objectives and performance indicators and add more information on resource allocations to priorities in the strategy and the Annual Management Plans in order to increase transparency and the accountability of the Agency;
to continue the joint work with the Scientific Committee on the use of the Scientific Committee with a view to establishing a clear framework for cooperation, in order to ensure enhanced value added to the work of the EEA;

18. Summary
Metadata - very good progress regarding availability, conformity and accessibility through services
Availability of spatial data through different service types (access to data as is)
– slowly improving by complexity of service type
Conformity of spatial datasets (access to interoperable data) - still at the lower end of implementation
Amount of resources - growing
Type of resources – large imbalances across Annex themes
