| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (2a) High-quality, reliable and comparable environmental data are an essential prerequisite for the design, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of Union environmental law and policies. Such data support evidence-based decision-making across a wide range of policy areas, including biodiversity protection, water management, soil monitoring, pollution prevention and climate adaptation. They are also indispensable for monitoring progress towards relevant Union objectives, including the achievement of climate neutrality and of healthy soils by 2050. Maintaining the availability, accessibility and usability of environmental information therefore remains essential to ensuring a high level of environmental protection across the Union. |

Recital 3 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (3a) The availability, accessibility and interoperability of environmental spatial data can contribute significantly to reducing administrative burdens and improving the efficiency, quality and reliability of administrative procedures. Better access to environmental information can facilitate environmental assessments, permitting procedures and public decision-making processes, while maintaining a high level of environmental protection. The effective sharing and re-use of environmental information should therefore be regarded as an important component of better regulation and more efficient environmental governance. |

| (6) Directive 2007/2/EC contains reference to third parties, whereas Directive (EU) 2019/1024, which applies to public sector bodies and public undertakings, does not extend to private entities or businesses. To ensure coherence with the Directive (EU) 2019/102410, the reference to third parties should be deleted. | (6) Directive 2007/2/EC contains reference to third parties, whereas Directive (EU) 2019/1024, which applies to public sector bodies and public undertakings, does not extend to private entities or businesses. Directive 2007/2/EC should continue to govern the linking of third parties’ spatial data sets to relevant services on a voluntary basis. Such voluntary contributions should be possible where those data sets comply with the applicable requirements under Union law on data governance and data sharing9a, in particular as regards metadata, quality, access conditions and interoperability |

|---|---|
| (8) Articles 7 and 8 of Directive 2007/2/EC empowers the Commission to adopt implementing rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services. They also set out the conditions for and the content of those implementing rules. Article 5(1) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024 establishes that public sector bodies and public undertakings are to make their documents available in any pre-existing format or language and, where possible and appropriate, by electronic means, in formats that are open, machine-readable, accessible, findable and re-usable, together with their metadata. Both the format and the metadata is, where possible, to comply with formal open standards. Pursuant to Article 1(7) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024, that Directive governs the re-use of existing documents held by public sector bodies and public undertakings of the Member States, including documents to which Directive 2007/2/EC applies. Since the interoperability requirements for open data apply to spatial data, the empowerment to adopt implementing rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and related provisions should be deleted. | (8) Articles 7 and 8 of Directive 2007/2/EC empower the Commission to adopt implementing rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and services. They also set out the conditions for and the content of those implementing rules. Article 5(1) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024 establishes that public sector bodies and public undertakings are to make their documents available in any pre-existing format or language and, where possible and appropriate, by electronic means, in formats that are open, machine-readable, accessible, findable and re-usable, together with their metadata.

Pursuant to Article 1(7) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024, that Directive governs the re-use of existing documents held by public sector bodies and public undertakings of the Member States, including documents to which Directive 2007/2/EC applies. While avoiding duplication with horizontal Union data legislation, simplification should not lead to a reduction in the comparability, consistency or interoperability of environmental spatial data across the Union. Therefore, the deletion of the empowerment to adopt implementing rules laying down technical arrangements for the interoperability and, where practicable, harmonisation of spatial data sets and related provisions should be accompanied by the continued use of open standards and by the preservation of effective arrangements that support cross-border usability of spatial information. In order to ensure non-discriminatory, cross-border and genuinely interoperable access to spatial data, it should continue to be stipulated that spatial data sets, spatial data services and application programming interfaces, be based on open, documented and manufacturer-neutral standards, such as relevant standards of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and specifications of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). |

|---|---|
| (10) Articles 11 and 12 of Directive 2007/2/EC specify that Member States are to establish and operate a network of services for the discovery, viewing, download, transformation and invoking of spatial data sets, and ensure that public authorities and third parties can link their spatial data sets and services to that network. Directive (EU) 2019/1024 sets the legal framework for open data and introduces the concept of high-value datasets, defined as data that is associated with important benefits for society and the economy when reused, which includes spatial data sets. Pursuant to Directive (EU) 2019/1024, high-value datasets are to be made available for re-use in machine-readable format, via suitable application programming interfaces and, where relevant, as a bulk download. Pursuant to Article 1(7) of Directive (EU) 2019/1024, that Directive sets out that the Directive governs the re-use of existing documents held by public sector bodies and public undertakings of the Member States, including documents to which Directive 2007/2/EC applies. To ensure consistency with Directive (EU) 2019/1024 and to avoid overlapping provisions, the requirements to establish and operate a network for spatial data services in Directive 2007/2/EC should be deleted. | (10) Articles 11 and 12 of Directive 2007/2/EC specify that Member States are to establish and operate a network of services for the discovery, viewing, download, transformation and invoking of spatial data sets, and ensure that public authorities and third parties can link their spatial data sets and services to that network.

Recital 12 a (new)
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (12a) Any changes introduced by this Directive to the obligations laid down in Directive 2007/2/EC should preserve the quality, reliability, discoverability and interoperability of spatial datasets that have already been made available through Union, national, regional and local infrastructures. The transition towards a framework that is more aligned with horizontal Union data legislation should preserve the added value of the Common European Data Spaces for spatial information |

Explanatory statement 4 paragraphs
The INSPIRE Directive (Directive 2007/2/EC) was adopted in 2007 to establish a European Spatial Data Infrastructure, enabling the sharing of environmental spatial information among public sector organisations and improving public access to spatial data across the Union. Over the past two decades, it has been instrumental in overcoming barriers such as fragmented data infrastructures and barriers to data sharing — allowing information to be more easily found, shared, and used across Europe.
The Commission presented its proposal to amend INSPIRE as part of the Environmental Omnibus (Omnibus VIII) simplification package, and as the legislative component of the GreenData4All initiative. The proposal would streamline the INSPIRE Directive by removing redundant technical requirements for network services and data sharing, deferring instead to the horizontal data legislative framework.
The rapporteur broadly supports the aims of simplification and alignment with horizontal data legislation. Administrative burden from duplicative and overlapping obligations should be reduced, and coherence with the Open Data Directive framework is welcome. However, the rapporteur considers that the Commission's approach in certain areas risks losing important safeguards that are specific to environmental spatial data.
Reducing duplication with the Open Data Directive is appropriate and necessary. But environmental spatial data — given its specific role in supporting environmental reporting, policy implementation, and cross-authority decision-making — justifies retaining targeted, proportionate obligations within INSPIRE itself, even as the general data policy framework evolves.
Annex: declaration of input 4 paragraphs
Pursuant to Article 8 of Annex I to the Rules of Procedure, the rapporteur declares that she included in her report input on matters pertaining to the subject of the file that she received, in the preparation of the report, prior to the adoption thereof in committee, from the following interest representatives falling within the scope of the Interinstitutional Agreement on a mandatory transparency register, or from the following representatives of public authorities of third countries, including their diplomatic missions and embassies:
| 1. Interest representatives falling within the scope of the Interinstitutional Agreement on a mandatory transparency register |
| European Federation of National Associations of Water Services (39299129772-62) |

| Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) |
| French Permanent Representation to the EU |
| Swedish Permanent Representation to the EU |
| 2. Representatives of public authorities of third countries, including their diplomatic missions and embassies |
| None |
The list above is drawn up under the exclusive responsibility of the rapporteur.
Where natural persons are identified in the list by their name, by their function or by both, the rapporteur declares that she has submitted to the natural persons concerned the European Parliament's Data Protection Notice No 484 (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/data-protect/index.do), which sets out the conditions applicable to the processing of their personal data and the rights linked to that processing.
