In May 2022, the European Commission published a summary report of the Republic of Croatia (Country Fiche) together with the results of the annual monitoring of the implementation of the Directive INSPIRE (Monitoring) for 2021.
The summary report provides an overview of the state's progress in the various areas of implementation of the INSPIRE Directive. It includes the current situation regarding the organizational structure, functioning and coordination of the NSDI, the use of the NSDI, the spatial data sharing agreement and the cost-benefit analysis. It also includes the results of the annual monitoring from December 2021.
Since 2019, the monitoring and reporting process has been fully automated using the INSPIRE Geoportal and the INSPIRE reference validator for processing metadata collected from the national discovery service within the NSDI Geoportal. The 19 monitoring indicators that measure the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive are divided into five categories: availability of spatial data and services, conformity of metadata, conformity of spatial data sets, conformity of network services and data set availability through network view and download services.
Although significant progress has been made compared to last year, the results of the annual monitoring still point to the ubiquitous need to raise the availability of spatial data sets through network services.
