On 9 April 2020, at its 223rd session, the Government of the Republic of Croatia adopted Final draft proposal of the Act on Amendments to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Act.
The Final draft proposal of the Act on Amendments changes the composition of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Council to achieve more efficient Council work, as well as the responsibilities of the National Contact Point for reporting the Member States to the European Commission. This aligns the existing Act with the INSPIRE Directive which has been amended upon entry into force Regulation (EU) 2019/1010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the alignment of reporting obligations in the field of legislation related to the environment and amending Regulations (EC) No 166/2006 and (EU) No 995/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Directives 2002/49/EC, 2004/35/EC, 2007/2/EC, 2009/147/EC and 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulations (EC) No 338/97 and (EC) No 2173/2005, and Council Directive 86/278/EEC.
Also, with this Proposal of the Act, the current Act aligns with State Information Infrastructure Act in the area of data exchange between subjects of the NSDI.
