Through INSPIRE, the European Union has created common standards to facilitate the exchange of information and data between the local, regional, national and European or international levels and thus support integrated policy decision-making at all levels of government.
The INSPIRE Maintenance and Implementation Group (MIG ) was established in 2013 and aims to exchange experience and good practice related to the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive and the Implementing Rules, identify and advise on priority issues, identify issues related to INSPIRE implementation and prepare and regularly update the work program for INSPIRE maintenance and implementation.
According to the INSPIRE Directive (2007/2/EC), each Member State has to prepare and submit to the European Commission every year a Monitoring report, which contains a number of indicators indicating the implementation and use of spatial data infrastructure. The information contained in the document includes a list of spatial data sources and services that are part of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure.
