COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2023/2431
of 24 October 2023
amending Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007establishing an
Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE)(1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010(2) sets out the requirements for technical arrangements for the
interoperability of spatial data sets, including the definition of code lists and the corresponding allowed values to be
used for attributes and association roles of spatial object types and data types.
(2) In the conclusions of the Commission’s evaluation of Directive 2007/2/EC(3), concerns were expressed regarding
the complexity and feasibility of implementation of the provisions regarding interoperability of spatial data sets and
services. As a result, Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 was reviewed and several rounds of consultations with experts
took place, which concluded that some simplifications and clarifications to facilitate implementation were needed.
This amending act should implement the technical and simplification changes identified, discussed and agreed by
the Committee established under Article 22 of Directive 2007/2/EC. The implementation should be made easier
and less burdensome without losing the benefits of standardisation and interoperability.
(3) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should be amended to clarify that no values for attributes need to be
provided if they do not actually exist. This further clarifies the concept of voidability and avoids misinterpretations.
(4) One major simplification is the removal of all code list and enumeration values from Regulation (EU)
No 1089/2010, which would allow those values to be updated more regularly in line with technical and
technological progress. Moreover, alignments with code lists established in the context of other Union legislation or
by international organisations should be introduced. Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should be modified
to refer to a registry to be operated by the Commission services (Joint Research Centre) with assistance from the
existing expert group, as the place where code list values are managed. Since domain terminology evolves over
time, this change would make the process for managing changes in code lists and their values more flexible and
faster.
(5) In Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010, point 1.3.4. ‘Other Coordinate Reference Systems’ should be
amended to allow additional Coordinate Reference Systems (CRS). This provision would lower the implementation
burden, for example if Member States add their national CRS to the supported CRS list then they no longer have to
create and maintain data in both their national CRS and a CRS required by Directive 2007/2/EC. To further reduce
the implementation and maintenance burden, a register of CRS, including their definition and transformation
parameters, should be established and operated by the Commission services (Joint Research Centre) with assistance
from the existing expert group.

(2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services (OJ L 323, 8.12.2010, p. 11).
(3) Commission staff working document, Evaluation accompanying the document Report from the Commission to the Council and the
European Parliament on the implementation of Directive 2007/2/EC of March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial
Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) pursuant to article 23 (SWD(2016) 273 final).

(6) A number of smaller adaptations should be introduced to the Annexes I, II, III and IV to take into account
technological and scientific evolution and to ensure the coherence of spatial data requirements with developments
in related thematic legislation. Most prominent is the need for harmonisation with Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of
the European Parliament and of the Council(4)establishing a European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register and
Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(5)on industrial emissions;
(7) Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by
Article 22 of Directive 2007/2/EC,
