Better and timely Information, better and timely Decisions
• The Sixth Environment Action Programme confirmed the crucial need for sound and robust information
• Forest fires, floods and droughts, the challenge of adapting to climate change and the loss of biodiversity, underline the need for accurate environmental information to be made quickly and easily available.
• Reporting and Monitoring requirements under Community law are the main drive for collecting data and information.

But……..
The vast amount of data collected by public authorities across the EU is not timely available when it is needed and matters for decision making
range of obstacles of a legal, financial, technical and procedural nature
Despite good progress with modernising and streamlining reporting obligations and systems e.g. WISE, the situation is still patchy: Each piece of environmental legislation has it own reporting system and data flows. In some cases this data is not even reported electronically INSPIRE Directive: the EU is moving towards a distributed system for on-line access
and sharing of spatial data
Limited capability to quickly (=seamlessly) turn data to policy relevant information and implement efficiently (seamlessly) integrated approaches to environmental policy.

Therefore… INSPIRE:Bringing data and services together through a Spatial Data Infrastructure
Data and services easily discoverable
and accessible to users
Like a road infrastructure makes it possible to connect
different places, a spatial data infrastructure makes it possible to connect data and services located at
different sources
Easier development of
new applications and services

• 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.
– This infrastructure shall build upon infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States.
• INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data – electronic format
• INSPIRE does not affect Intellectual Property Rights or statistical confidentiality

INSPIRE - Data Sharing
• Member States shall adopt measures for the sharing of data and services between public authorities for public tasks relating to the environment without restrictions occurring at the point of use.
• Public authorities may charge, license each other and Community institutions provided this does not create an obstacle to sharing.
• When spatial data or services are provided to Community institutions for reporting obligations under Community law relating to the environment then this will not be subject to charging.
• Member States shall provide the institutions and bodies of the Community with access to spatial data sets and services in accordance with harmonised conditions. Implementing Rule

INSPIRE Governance Structures• The Commission (Article 22)
– Shall be assisted by a Committee -> Comitology Procedure– Coordinating INSPIRE at Community level assisted by relevant organisations and, in
particular, by the European Environment Agency
• The Member States– Are members of the Committee (Article 22)– Contact points to the Commission supported by a coordination structure, taking
account of the distribution of powers and responsibilities within the Member State. (Article 19)
• Other Parties– European standardisation bodies (Article 20)– Representatives of Member States at national, regional and local level as well as
other natural or legal persons, including users, producers, added value service providers or any coordinating body (Article 7)
• The European Parliament and Council

Implementing INSPIREImplementing INSPIRE
• The implementation of INSPIRE needs to consider the broader context of existing initiatives which could contribute
• The INSPIRE implementation should interface with those partnerships and initiatives where relevant and establish synergy*
• SDIC bundle the human expertise of users, producers and transformers of spatial information, technical competence, financial resources and policies. Many SDIC exist today, generally organised by region, thematic issue or sector (industry).

20MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
Conclusions • Innovative dual approach
– Top-down: INSPIRE is a framework Directive with implementing rules to be adopted in the coming years.
– Bottom-up: Highest involvement of key stakeholders (through the “Spatial Data Interest Community” concept) needed for development, implementation and sustained operation
– Openness and transparency in drafting implementing measures a must
– Pilots and Projects important to define/validate the implementing rules
– Links and interfaces with Community (GMES, eGov etc..) and other international initiatives (GEOSS, GSDI etc.) essential
• Transposition of INSPIRE, within the fixed time, to National Legislation in each Member State is crucial
• Urgent need of establishing coordinating bodies and structures to start INSPIRE implementation

21MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
Therefore…the SEIS
A System where the public authorities are the providers but also the main end-users and beneficiaries
SEIS is a collaborative initiative of the Commission, the EEA and MSs to establish an integrated, common, shared, multipurpose and sustained information system in Europe serving two main purposes:
improve the timely availability, sharing and quality of environmental data and information (or data impacting environmental policies) within Europe and provision of e-Government/e-Environment services to public policy makers and citizens;
offer to MSs and EU institutions an efficient reporting system to fulfil their reporting obligations related to Community environmental policies and legislation, avoiding duplication of efforts, overlapping and redundancies
![Page 22: 1 MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007 INSPIRE & SEIS because Good Decisions need Good Information timely available INSPIRE: Scope of the Directive](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eec5503460f94bfdd56/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
SEIS concept:
integrated but distributed web-enabled "system of systems" in which current systems based on reporting data and information (including documents) centrally are increasingly replaced by e-Reporting systems based on access, sharing and interoperability.
SEIS will be based on a distributed network virtual and institutional of public information providers (or other providers acting on behalf of public providers) for sharing environmental data and information.
It will be built incrementally upon existing infrastructures, systems and e-Services in both MSs and EU institutions, virtually interconnecting them and making them to 'talk to each other' (inter-operable).
![Page 23: 1 MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007 INSPIRE & SEIS because Good Decisions need Good Information timely available INSPIRE: Scope of the Directive](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eec5503460f94bfdd56/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
Five issues as prerequisites for
a good and efficient SEIS, meeting its objectives:
• deployment of an efficient, interoperable infrastructure for on-line accessing and sharing data and information and provision of information services;
• modernising the reporting requirements and systems with a view to developing a coherent, common and shared reporting system based on access, sharing and interoperability;
• enhance quality and comparability of the data and information going into the SEIS system
• availability of ‘interoperable’ methodologies (e.g. for integrated cross-sectoral assessments or risk assessment and forecast) and e-Governement services to seamlessly implement them (e.g. decision support systems);
• "interoperability of policies", i.e. policy coherence.
![Page 24: 1 MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007 INSPIRE & SEIS because Good Decisions need Good Information timely available INSPIRE: Scope of the Directive](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eec5503460f94bfdd56/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
INSPIRE and GMES: key partners in developing the SEIS
The effective implementation of the INSPIRE directive: main basis for delivering those aspects of the SEIS system that have to do with interoperability, sharing and access of spatial environmental data.
SEIS beyond INSPIRE: - non-spatial data and non-numerical information
- provision of information services related to a coherent reporting system and e-Government/e-Environment to support decision making and inform the citizens.
The GMES would contribute to SEIS with the provision of e-Environment services such as the fast track services in Land, Marine, Emergency Response which will allow to turn quickly and seamlessly data to policy relevant information (e.g. information integration for indicators and enabling integrated assessments
How about UNECE Clearing House?

Conclusions 1
• INSPIRE & SEIS are ‘tools’ for developing, implementing and monitoring environmental policies more timely and more cost-efficiently
• Their benefits will be tangible for all levels of society
• INSPIRE is a Directive developed by – and for the benefits of the stakeholders – the bottom-up approach
![Page 27: 1 MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007 INSPIRE & SEIS because Good Decisions need Good Information timely available INSPIRE: Scope of the Directive](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032414/56649eec5503460f94bfdd56/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27MAKING INSPIRE WORK – UNECE Workshop, 13/12/2007
Conclusions 2• INSPIRE includes also a technical framework
with implementing rules developed and adopted in the coming years
• INSPIRE is an essential pillar, a first step, of a broader vision for a European Shared Environmental Information System which includes the many applications for environmental management and reporting built on the INSPIRE foundations
• There is a lot of scope for collaboration between UNECE Clearing House and INSPIRE/SEIS

SEIS data and information content
data and information required by : EC Environment legislation, existing or upcoming
State of the Environment Information (including information provided voluntarily) –EEA’s data flows
Data collected in the context of International environmental conventions in which the EU is a party
Environment-related information and data collected/required by other EC policies .
The ambition of SEIS however is to develop a flexible infrastructure that would allow other data collections, flows and systems beyond the above four categories to ' plug in' on the basis of mutual benefits.

SEIS Information Services
E.g. of Information Services for Public Policy Makers and Citizens that can ‘plug in’ to SEIS/INSPIRE infrastructure:
– Software applications implementing in a transparent and traceble way methodologies for integrated assessments across policy domains (DPSIR : driving forces, pressures, state, impact, response), integrated assessment of ecosystems and of climate changes.
– Decision support systems for assessment of environmental impacts of big infrastructures/installations taking into account also socio-economic aspects).
– Dissemination and public information portals on DPSIR, geo -referenced emergency alerting systems-, forecasting of risks .
– Automated report generators etc: to decrease the administrative burden of MSs from reporting obligations to EC
