During the conference a set of important issues about cadastre was discussed among the Permanent Committee on Cadastre delegates from Member States and representatives from other organizations.
The first day of the conference was dedicated to the debate on recent developments in the cadastral field that are involving the different EU countries. Greece, Sweden, Austria, Cyprus, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, Spain and Finland showed all the innovative aspects of their cadastral systems.
The second day was focused on the marine cadastre, in particular on the innovations on which the European Commission is working as, for example, the planning of the sea’s use. Then all the countries have explained how new technologies impact on land administration, providing an overview of the cadastral systems’ status, from Cadastre 2014 to Cadastre 2034. A summary of the activities of the Hellenic Presidency was described during the closing session by the Greek administration. The role of the Committee in the EU was also discussed, given the increasing importance of national institutions that manage spatial information for the implementation of Community policies.
What Permanent Committee on Cadastre is?
PCC, founded in Italy in 2002, is a committee composed by representatives of the institutions that are responsible for cadastre in the EU Member States . The mission of the Committee is to develop strategies and propose common initiatives with the aim of achieving greater co-ordination among the different European cadastral systems and their users.
The main objectives are to constitute a network of information on Cadastre to facilitate the exchange of information, expertise and best practices among its members and to represent a privileged link between cadastral institutions and the organs of the European Union and other entities requiring cadastral information to carry out their activities.
