Scope INSPIRE DirectiveScope INSPIRE Directive

• Establishment of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in E.C., for the purposes of Community environmental policies or activities which may have an impact on the environment.

• Spatial data held by or on behalf of a public authority operating down to the lowest level of government when laws or regulations require their collection or dissemination

• INSPIRE covers 34 Spatial Data Themes laid down in 3 Annexes – required to successfully build environmental

information systems

MSFD – Working Group on Data, Information and Knowledge Exchange, 2011/09/05-06, Brussels 4

INSPIRE principles

• Data should be collected once and maintained at the level where this can be done most effectively

• INSPIRE to be based on the infrastructures for spatial information established and operated by the Member States.

• INSPIRE does not require collection of new spatial data

• Combine seamlessly spatial data from different sources and share it between many users and applications (the concept of interoperability)

• Spatial data should be collected at one level of government and shared between all levels

• Spatial data needed for good governance should be available on conditions that are not restricting its extensive use

• It should be easy to discover which spatial data is available, to evaluate its fitness for purpose and to know which conditions apply for its use

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.

INSPIRE ComponentsINSPIRE Components• INSPIRE is a Framework Directive• Detailed technical provisions laid down in

Implementing Rules on– Metadata– Interoperability of spatial data sets and services– Network services (discovery, view, download,

transformation, invoke)– Data and Service sharing (policy)– Coordination and measures for Monitoring & Reporting

• Once adopted, Implementing Rules become European legislative acts and national law in 27 Member States and in some EFTA countries

• Technical Guidelines – serves as basis for Implementing Rules and provides further explanations and practical advice for implementation

Spatial PlanningSpatial Planning

• «Spatial planning refers to the methods used by the public sector to influence the future distribution of activities in a space or spaces. It is undertaken with the aim of creating more rational territorial organisation of land uses and linkages between them to balance demands for development with the need to protect the environment and to achieve social and economic objectives. Spatial planning embraces measures to coordinate the spatial impacts of other sectoral policies to achieve more even distribution of economic development between regions....» in EU Compendium on spatial planning systems and policies, 1997

• Spatial planning is a process of decision making thus weighing between social, ecologic and economic demands.

• Spatial planning is now widely used as a generic term for many systems with considerable differences. Each country as a specific name for its system of planning.

23


• Requirements for Land Use Planning were introduced into Article 12 of Seveso Directive 96/82/EC. The provisions reflect the request from the Council of Minister; land use restrictions can limit the consequencies in case of accident

• Land use planning as a tool, among others, for the protection of mankind and environment from various stressors.

• Land use planning is an aspect of «spatial planning»• The role of Land Use (or spatial) Planning in risk

management depends on its scope according to national legislation

24


• Risk or risk management in the context of Land Use Planning in general appears by different forms of threat:

-natural disaters (floods, avalanches, earthquakes, etc.)

- long-term or permanent impacts (industrial or municipal emissions, etc.)

- man-made disasters (short-term accidental releases and subsequent phenomena (fires, explosions, toxic clouds).

• LUP as part of risk management in context of Seveso II Art.12 includes:

- planning measures (land allocation, zoning,....)

- technical measures (prevention or mitigation measures imposed in permit procedures etc.

Waste Management Facilities under INSPIRE

Waste treatment facilities and waste storage:

It is important to identify the environmental protection facilities with unique identifiers. The data component category coincides with economic/statistical categories (NACE/SERIEE). Location by geographical point, by address or in some cases as area.

– Controlled waste treatment sites for non-hazardous waste at land: geographical location of official or regulated facilities for waste treatment and storage; Included in the spatial component category "environmental protection facilities"

storage sites at land - landfills incinerators other treatment facilities

Information on kind of treatment, kind of substances treated, capacity, percentage biodegradable waste, energy recovery from incinerators and landfills

– Controlled waste treatment facilities for hazardous waste at land: geographical location of official or regulated facilities for treatment and storage of hazardous waste; Included in the spatial component category "environmental protection facilities". Reported according to SEVESO II Directive. Distinction between

thermal treatment, landfills nuclear waste treatment and storage and other treatment for hazardous waste (e.g. chemical), other treatment facilities

Information about kind of treatment, kind of substances treated, capacity (and potential risks).– Regulated areas for dumping of waste at sea: Areas at sea for dumping of waste, e.g. ships, oil drilling platforms, industrial

waste, military waste. OSPAR Permits on marine dumping. Reporting per contracting party and site (?) waste category, number of permits issued, tonnes licensed and contracting party. Important in environmental management and management of biological resources at sea. . Submission of data for the Annual OSPAR Report on Dumping of wastes at Sea from OSPAR Convention for the protection of the marine environment of the north-east Atlantic. The anticipated delivery authorities could be sea management/ marine/ waste/ environmental authorities, OSPAR. Included in the spatial data component "area regulation". Does also include nuclear waste. Example is Russian dumping sites: Official sources states a total of 0.45 PBq of liquid radioactive material has been dumped in the Barents Sea and 0.32 PBq in the Kara Sea. Most of the solid radioactive waste has been dumped along the east coast of Novaja Zemlya and the open Kara Sea. Some material on existing sites and amounts are available.

– Illegal or non-controlled dumping of waste - sea and land. Illegal landfills/"wildfills" on land areas are common, but policies are directed to reduce the number of such storage of waste. It is important in local waste management and pollution control to locate such illegal land fills, in order to carry out targeted actions. Non-controlled areas at sea where waste is recorded is also important, this can be shipwrecks, industrial waste, military waste, cars. OSPAR Permits on marine dumping.

– Mining waste: Mining waste is a special kind of waste. The residues from mining can contain a low content of metals or minerals not being economically extractable, but leaching can cause contamination of soil and water. The tailings of mining activities are usually located near the site of extraction. In management and assessment of mining waste there are needs for spatial data such as location of mines and tailings, water catchments, river network, water and sea, soil.

Theme Utility and Government services (US)

Council Regulation (EEC) No 259/93 of 1 February 1993 on the supervision and control of shipments of waste within, into and out of the European CommunityArticle 11 1. In order to assist the tracking of shipments of waste for recovery listed in Annex II, they shall be accompanied by the following information, signed by the holder: (a) the name and address of the holder; (b) the usual commercial description of the waste; (c) the quantity of the waste; (d) the name and address of the consignee; (e) the operations involving recovery, as listed in Annex II.B to Directive 75/442/EEC; (f) the anticipated date of shipment.
