2. Status of Co-decision at first reading
INSPIRE
Status of Co-decision at first reading

3. Overall status EP first reading opinion adopted 7 June 2005
Unanimous political agreement reached in Council on 24 June 2005
Commission does not support the agreement
Four MSs (ES, PT, AT, CZ) share Cion concerns

4. EP first reading Strongly supports Commission proposal
Various technical clarifications
Some limitation of comitology
Extra safeguards for public data providers in relation to public access, sharing and IP
Community data included in infrastructure

5. Council first reading
Incorporates EP (and other) technical improvements, but:
IPR generally takes precedence over obligations in relation to public access and sharing
Cumbersome procedure to adopt implementing rules by comitology

6. Next steps Formal Common Position expected late autumn
October 05 – January 06: high-level preparatory discussions with a number of member states
Second reading probable start February 2006
After this, EP has 3 months to adopt second reading opinion
After this, Council has 3 months to adopt Common Position at second reading
If still no agreement, “conciliation” process

14. Communication Policy Draft IR v.0 is internal to DT and CT
Once a draft (v.1) is ready and reviewed by CT, it is published on INSPIRE Web site
When Revised Draft (v.2) is published, it is open for comments by SDICs/LMOs via their contact points
Revised (V.3) is open for public review
Final Draft is submitted by EC to INSPIRE Committee

15. DT Metadata The scope of MD needs more focus
clarification of boundaries between discovery, exploration, evaluation, exploitation and use is needed
articulation of different levels of granularity of MD according to relevance for each user community
IR to include both MD on data and services (v.1 April 2006)

16. DT Data Harmonisation Detailed definitions on data specs and exchange
Survey of existing initiatives
Definition of Annex Themes and scope
Report on findings of survey
first draft generic conceptual model
first draft methodologies for specification development
first draft IR for data exchange ( )
v.1 of generic conceptual model
impact assessment on use of this model

17. DT Network services Find consensus on network services IR requirements
analyse initial survey on NS in MS
first reference model defining NS, their requirements and interrelations on abstract level

18. DT Data and Service Sharing
description of basic terminology
analysing requirements (basically from the Commissions side)
creating models/scenarios
evaluating models
write the actual Implementing Rule (April-May 2006)
simulating measures for the deployment

19. DT Monitoring and Reporting
Analysis registered reference material
Note on methodology of State of Play
Linkage with other monitoring initiatives
Definition of typical measurements of performance of services
Set up and review monitoring indicators
draft IR v.0 for monitoring (June 2006)
draft IR v.0 for reporting (June 2006)
