- EURADIN - EURopean ADdress INfrastructure has been a succesfull EU project that aim ed to consti tu te a Best Practice Network in order to promote the European Address harmonization regarding the definition, registration and access to the European Address Data.

At he end of EURADIN project the European Address Forum ( EAF ) was launched.
EAF is an open forum that aims to encourage the development of well constructed addressing processes and the availability and efficient use of harmonized and good quality address data throughout Europe using the framework of the INSPIRE Directive and related standards for the benefit of citizens, business and government. EAF has been created in the context of EURADIN, but it is an open forum for all stakeholders involved in addressing processes, and in the collection, maintenance, use and dissemination of address data.
Of course the PCC is become an important memeber of this Forum and in the next six month Mrs Pierrette Fraisse from the Belgium Cadastre will be the PCC representative in the EAF
- Administration Générale de la Documentation Patrimoniale of Belgium, has taken over the PCC presidency for the second half of the year 2010.
- Spanish cadastre has been selected by the INSPIRE Directive as "Good practice" in public access:
In the programme of work of the INSPIRE Directive for the transposition phase was defined the necessity to have a best practice guide to include current best practices and models in data policy. For this reason, the INSPIRE Data and Service Sharing Drafting Team has developed a document that has just been published in the web pg of INSPIRE: http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/62
The Directive says that public authorities should make available its data and services in a manner to facilitate public access to them, and with the publication of this document, has considered the Spanish cadastre as the best example of this.
- SPAIN (Madrid): Access to the "Conference on the Cadastre, Public Policy and Economic Activity" documentation.
This Conference has been the first occasion to come together in the same Forum representatives of public administration (DG Information Society in the EU and representatives of the European Cadastres) with companies of cadastre and cadastral information users, as well as their representative associations at European and Spanish level.
The debate was revealed the great value that companies give to cadastral information, both as a tool to their own activities, support for the generation of products and value added services for other companies or citizens.
They were especially illustrative the presentations made by companies such as Telefónica, Google, idealista.com, etc; that presented concrete examples of how they use cadastral information.
The presentation made by the Spanish Association of companies using information (ASEDIE), was very illustrative because they clearly explained the methodology followed by the companies that manage large volumes of information
The responsible of Cadastral organizations of eight European countries presented their best practices on access to information with several interesting initiatives
And also were important the presentations relating to the currently underway initiatives to define standards, both at European level (INSPIRE directive) and globally (ISO 19152 that is developing the standards of cadastral models).
- Now in open access for all public consultation, in the "Documents" section , the PCC brochures over the CADASTRAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.
These documents highlight the main characters of the different Systems, underlining their primary and emerging purposes, information contents, evolution processes, services provided to public and private users, as well as links with the real estate rights registrations systems and the real estate taxation systems.
PCC wishes that this document can represent an useful tool both for the European Union and for the member Countries institutions, and collaborate to strength the role of cadastre in the national and European policies, by means of an in-depth knowledge of the cadastral system and its future potential.
Czech Republic intends to cover the cadastral systems of further six countries – Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia - to be firstly introduced at the joint workshop and PCC Plenary meeting on 4th and 5th June 2009, in Prague. Their copies will be published on the PCC website afterwards.
