INSPIRE in the Netherlands
● GEONOVUM as a temporarily project organization● Many Annex 1 by law to be used by the authorities● New legislation for permitting refers to basis data sets and INSPIRE+
as technical solution for state organizations to use the same dataset(s)
● RIVM responsible for 9 dataflows (Annex 3)● One in the INSPIRE data model, the other 8 still as is

EU reporting obligations (MiW)● Definitions, categorisations- Annex 1, Facility versus installation, SOx - SO2, fuel sold – fuel used, CRF
versus NFR
● Double reporting - Waste (E-PRTR and ) , NEC/LRTAP, facilities: E-PRTR, ETS, UWWTP and LPS- Information available at other EU institutions, EU as reporter (Kyoto, EU MM)
● Information needed- Information asked that is already known (long-latitude and NUTS3 and ZIP and
…)- Needed to do QA/QC? Responsibility?

EU reporting obligations (MiW)● Non mandatory items- Useful to get the bigger picture- Useless because always incomplete, extra burden in the tooling
● Centralised reporting structure in the MS versus decentralised- Consistent but complex- Integrated reporting from the operators- Back to back EU expert meetings (nobody has the whole picture)- Integration of deliverables of comparable obligations (NEC/LRTAP with
UNFCCC)- Works well for E-PRTR, LCP, IED and its tooling

EU reporting obligations (MiW)● Tooling- Variation (Webforms, XML, XLS, DOC, CRF-reporter)- EIONET works well, state of the art?- Report once, multiple usage, by law!- Collecting versus submitting
● Timing- On facility level versus national total (you need facilities to calculate the
national total)- Data consistency, one date (snapshot)

Mapping of data to the new datamodelBad example● UNFCCC CRF-reporter: 10 dimensional cube● Every country resource intensive, including the EEA● All Kyoto, EU-MM reporting postponed for more than 7 months
Lessons learned example● Life feed for the AQ-directive● We just managed, also EU central tooling● Despite help form the EEA a big effort. ● Only a marginal part of the INSPIRE data model is used
Good example?● E-PRTR, LCP, IED – only the administrative part of the facilities● To low ambition level

Way forward● INSPIRE ICT community and reporting community: two worlds● They meet each other in the data (144 pages to describe a farm …)● Worst scenario: every country does its own mapping● Tooling of the EEA is a possibility to bring the two worlds together● Map in the format (and in the XML) all the data to the INSPIRE model
and harmonize the categorizations● This result can be easily implemented in the MS
● Have always INPIRE on he agenda in the technical committees ● Have more back to back meetings with the different EU obligations
(E-PRTR / UWWTP) (Waste EU/EUROSTAT) (EU-MM and NEC)
