Pursuant to Government Decision No 1210/2004 of 29 July 2004 on the organisation and functioning of the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, it is organised as a public institution, with legal personality, and is the single authority in the area of cadastre, geodesy, topography, photogrammetry and mapping, which is subordinated to the Ministry of Administration and the Interior. In the exercise of their tasks, the members of CINIS collaborate with the authorities of central and local public administration, with other public institutions and with other Romanian or foreign legal persons governed by public or private law. Overview of working practices and procedures of the coordinating body The representatives of public institutions and of associated structures are appointed within CINIS by the directors thereof under an administrative act, as appropriate. The INIS Council organises meetings on a monthly basis and whenever necessary on the initiative of the President or at the reasoned request of one-third of the number of members of the INIS Council. The representatives appointed in the INIS Council have the obligation to participate in all the meetings thereof. In the absence of the full member, the substitute member participates with full rights in the meetings of CINIS. The members of the INIS Council may express observations in writing or during the meeting, which are subject to debate for the purpose of their approval as regards their integration in the initial document. The decisions of the INIS Council are binding for all the members. For the implementation of the decisions of the INIS Council, the directors of the coordinating and collaborating public authorities listed in Annex 4 to Government Order No 4/2010 issue their own administrative acts. The decisions of the INIS Council are supported by the technical working groups which meet at the request of the President of CINIS. The activity of technical working groups is registered in a report prepared during every meeting. Each public institution and associated structure holding membership within CINIS may organise groups of technical experts for specific fields of activity. Other persons may also be invited to participate in the meetings of the INIS Council within the public institutions and associated structures listed in Article 1(2), including persons within establishments subordinated to, coordinated by or governed by such institutions and structures, persons within the academic environment, the private sector, representatives of non-governmental organisations and other structures having an advisory function. Following the meetings, the CINIS Secretariat prepares the corresponding minutes, archives original versions and communicates them in computerised form to the members of the INIS Council. 4.1.3 Comments on the monitoring and reporting process The monitoring activity made it possible, under a joint effort by the members of the INIS Council, to identify important and reference spatial data sets at national level. As regards the stage of the geo-portal which will ensure the spatial data services, it is under development and negotiations will be launched with JRC with regard to the connection of the national geo-portal to the INSPIRE geoportal. 16-Feb-16 13 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 4.2 Quality assurance (Article 12.2.) ANCPI is the State authority which ensures the supervision and control of the application and compliance with the rules in force in the area of cadastre, geodesy, topography, photogrammetry and mapping. Thus, Order No 108/29 March 2010 of the General Director of ANCPI approving the Rules for the endorsement, control and acceptance of specialised works in the area of cadastre, geodesy, topography, photogrammetry and mapping, provides for the general framework whereby ANCPI ensures the approval, control and acceptance of specialised works. Article 1 of Regulation No 108 of 29 March 2010 provides that the provisions of the regulation are binding for all the natural and legal persons who are entitled to execute specialised works in the area of cadastre, geodesy, topography, photogrammetry and mapping within the territory of Romania in accordance with the legal rules in force. The acceptance of specialised works is aimed at checking the compliance with the execution requirements imposed by the norms, methodologies and guidelines prepared by the National Agency and Land Registration, the technical standards in force and the endorsements issued. In accordance with Chapter III, Article 9, the acceptance of specialised works is undertaken only if the contractor proves that the work has undergone internal control within the internal quality control process. The results of the control are set out in the internal quality control report accompanying the documentation submitted for the acceptance of that work. 4.2.1 Quality assurance procedures 4.2.1.1 Ministry of Administration and the Interior/National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) One of the reference products at national level is the spatial data set TOPRO5 created by the National Centre for Geodesy, Mapping, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (CNGCFT) within the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration. The source of information was ensured by the ortho-photo plans prepared as a result of the flight between 2003 and 2005 which covers 80% of the country area. The difference was covered by satellite images. The reference system used in the definition of the data sets is “The Coordinates System 1942” (Krasovski ellipsoid in 1940, stereographical projection in 1970). The system of elevations “Black Sea 1975” is used for altimetry. For the creation of the spatial data set TOPRO5, specific and detailed technical specifications have been prepared to enable the design of a comprehensive and functional database. Figure 3.

A substantial part of these quality issues were ensured from the very stage of production, the rest being ensured in the stage of primary (visual) and final control of the data set created. Primary and final control was intended for: The identification and correction of geometry errors; The identification and correction of errors in attributes. The primary level of data control was meant to ensure the control with regard to photointerpretation (geometry and attributes) and to the presence/absence of elements. The final control of the data consisted in the control of geometry and attributes through the topological rules in place between elements or between the various classes of elements, and by the combination of various selection methods (on the basis of attributes or location) within the spatial database. The use of pre-defined values of attributes within the spatial database contributed to ensuring the quality of spatial data in terms of attributes. Figure 4. Control of spatial relations between elements and the correction of errors identified (Buildings Must Not Overlap) 16-Feb-16 15 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 Figure 5. Control of accuracy of attributes and the correction of errors identified (for example, control of photo-interpretation) As regards time accuracy, the information on the spatial objects included in the databases was updated between September and December 2009 on the basis of the ortho-photo plans resulting from the flight in 2008 in the southern area of the country (21 counties). The spatial data set is being permanently updated. ANCPI prepared a document setting out coherent procedures for the creation, update and administration of metadata at internal level in accordance with Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) and in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1205/2008 of 3 December 2008 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards metadata. After the preparation of this document, ANCPI created metadata in accordance with INSPIRE for the most important spatial data sets held. Within ANCPI, the content of the metadata shall be updated by the administrator of the metadata every six months or whenever necessary. Figure 6. Administration of metadata within ANCPI 16-Feb-16 16 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 4.2.1.2 Ministry of National Defence/Directorate for Military Topography (DTM) The Directorate for Military Topography within the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) is one of the most important producers and users of spatial data at national level. MApN/DTM ensures the quality of geographical information in accordance with the NATO standards (for example, STANAG 3809 - DTED, STANAG 2213 - Gazetteers) and performs quality control through its own specialised structure. 4.2.1.3 Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Another producer and user of spatial data is the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure by the relevant subordinated institutions (institutions operating in the area of railway, shipping, road, air etc). Thus, in the road area, all the data used is supplied by agents authorised by ANCPI to carry out measurement works. The procurement, processing, archiving and transmission of data is in compliance with the quality assurance requirements. We set out below the main legislative acts governing the activities in the road area at national level: 1. Government Order No 43/1997 on the system of roads, as republished, as subsequently amended and supplemented; 2. Order No 43/1998 of the Ministry of Transport approving the rules on the classification of national roads by categories; 3. Order No 45/1998 of the Ministry of Transport approving the technical rules on the design, construction and modernisation of roads; 4. Order No 959/17 September 2009 of MTCT approving the guidelines for the registration of road traffic on public roads; 5. Rules of the Technical – Economic Council of CNADNR on the endorsement of technical documentations. In the air area, all the data used in civil aviation is provided by aviation agents authorised by the Romanian Civil Aviation Authority to carry out measurement works in areas used for aviation purposes. The procurement, processing, archiving and transmission of data are in compliance with the quality assurance requirements set out in the aviation regulations. We set out below the main regulations in the area of civil aviation: 1. Civil Aviation Regulation – Authorisation of Civil Aviation Agents in the Airport Area, RACR – AACDA/2006; 2. Civil Aviation Regulation, RAC – WGS 84, Measurement of aviation interest points in the World Geodetic System WGS 84/1995; 3. Civil Aviation Regulation RACR – CADT, Conditions for the endorsement of technical documentations for the facilities in the areas used for aviation purposes/2003; 4. Civil Aviation Regulation, RACR – SACZ, Determination of civil aviation services and of areas used for civil aviation purposes/2007; 5. Civil Aviation Regulation, RACR – AD – PETA, Design and technical exploitation of runways/2008. 4.2.1.4 Ministry of Agriculture and Regional Development/Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture (APIA) APIA purchased ortho-photo plans and vector data by public procurement. The specifications imposed tolerances and technical accuracies to ensure compliance with the requirements of EC regulations. The products purchased were also subject to external quality control which was the object of a public procurement procedure; following this control, APIA carried out its own control and acceptance with regard to the products concerned. Data is updated on a regular basis by the same public procurement procedures. 16-Feb-16 17 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 4.2.2 Analysis of quality assurance problems At national level, technical norms and guidelines are in place for the preparation of analogue topographical plans on the basis of the topographical measurements and photogrammetry works carried out between 1970 and 1980, such as: Technical norms for the preparation of the basic topographical plan on the scale of 1:2000, 1:5000 and 1:10000, Part I – Field works and calculations; Technical norms for the preparation of the basic topographical plan on the scale of 1:2000, 1:5000 and 1:10000, Part II – Photogrammetry works; Implementing rules for the general mapping of maps pertaining to the State Mapping Fund of MAIA-IGFCOT (Institute for Geodesy, Photogrammetry, Mapping and Territory Organisation). All these norms are still being used as a reference by the specialists in the field for the creation of spatial data and the establishment of quality criteria for the newly-created products. Some modern technical norms adapted to the new spatial technologies need to be prepared on the short and medium term in order to ensure compliance with the international and European standards in force. To this end, ANCPI took some important steps by the preparation of some draft norms entitled: Norms for the development of the reference topographical plan in digital format according to the scale of 1:5000 (TOPRO5). In general, the spatial data acquired in Romania were mainly based on the old plans and maps in the analogue format. The updates of spatial data sets based on measurements were sporadic in nature. Each institution prepared its own specifications and procedures for quality assurance and control of spatial data. They are sometimes insufficiently documented and generally intended for draft acts prepared at a given moment within the institutions in question. 4.2.3 Measures taken to improve the quality assurance The INIS Council and its members shall create the legislative framework needed for the implementation of the INSPIRE specifications by subsequent regulatory decisions and acts. ANCPI proposes to improve the quality assurance procedures and the control stages relating to spatial data for the TOPRO5 product and for other products which will be developed internally in compliance with ISO 19113:2002 - Geographic information - Quality principles, ISO 19114:2003 Geographic information - Quality evaluation procedures, ISO 19115:2003-Geographic information Metadata and with the present and future specifications prepared by INSPIRE for the themes listed in Annexes I, II and III. 4.2.4 Quality certification mechanisms ANCPI designed and implemented a Quality Management System according to Certificate No C.2883.1/23 December 2009, which meets the requirements of the European Standard SR EN ISO 9001:2008 and which is applicable to the main field of activity, i.e. cadastre and land registration, and to related fields that contribute significantly to the achievement of specific objectives. The aforementioned certificate was granted by the certification body SIMTEX-OC which was notified by the European Commission following an external audit, and the validity of such a certificate is subject to annual surveillance audits. The whole set of geographical information of MApN/DTM which is to be made available to INSPIRE/INIS is/will be registered by ORDA. ORDA (Romanian Copyright Office) is a specialised institution of the central public administration, with legal personality and subordinated to the Government, acting as the single authority within the territory of Romania as regards the recordkeeping, observation and control of the application of rules in the area of copyright and related rights. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure has also implemented the quality certification mechanism referred to in the SR EN ISO 9001:2001 Standard. The Air Navigation and Aviation Information Service (SNAIA), which is the structure within AACR (the Romanian Civil Aviation Authority) that manages aviation information (including spatial information), has implemented and 16-Feb-16 18 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 keeps in place a Quality Management System that meets the requirements of SR EN ISO 9001:2001 Standard. The certification body of this Service is: SC SIMTEX SRL. 16-Feb-16 19 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 5 Contribution to the functioning and coordination of the infrastructure (Article 13) 5.1 General overview description of the Spatial Information Infrastructure In recent years, there has been a growing number of activities related to the development and implementation of a National Spatial Information Infrastructure, i.e. INIS, across the world. Generally, the objectives of INIS promote the principle of “single collection, multiple use”. There are a few reasons for spatial information sharing through an INIS. In order to avoid the multiplication of costs incurred with the production and management of information and its integration with other information, spatial information needs to be shared by the development of an infrastructure at national level. The use of spatial information for special applications at regional level requires enormous amounts of up-to-date and accurate digital information. Consequently, if spatial information and its maintenance are shared, significant savings can be made in terms of time, money and effort. Moreover, information sharing may improve the quality of that information by the increase in the number of individuals who may detect or correct errors. The resources which would be used to collect repetitive information can be focused on quality control and the collection of other spatial information required. In conclusion, INIS fosters and coordinates the exchange and sharing of spatial information between the parties involved in the community of spatial information. The purpose will be to provide relevant spatial information in order to support decision-making factors in connection with the regional, national and international policies and activities integrating environment protection as well. Some of the strategy’s objectives are: to encourage partnerships and the cooperation between the parties involved, to integrate information, to reduce overlaps, to use resources more efficiently and to create a spatial information database in order to be used as a basis for the extension of the productivity of the industry, the market of geographical information and information management. It should be useful for suppliers, in terms of information concerning the promotion of the access to geographical (public) information and the turning towards improved efficiency, as well as for users who should be taken into account when developing an INIS. For the purpose of developing and implementing INIS in Romania, Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 has been transposed by the establishment of the legal framework by Order No 4/2010 establishing the national infrastructure for spatial information in Romania, and by the creation of the coordination structure, referred to as the Council of National Infrastructure for Spatial Information, which comprises representatives of public authorities and institutions. One of the tasks of the INIS Council is to establish and submit the Planning of activities to the Government for approval for the development and update of the national infrastructure for spatial information. Likewise, it establishes and approves the spatial data themes, others than those listed in Annexes 1 to 3 to Government Order No 4/2010; In order to ensure the financial resources required, the public authorities coordinating the spatial data sets listed in Annexes 1 to 3 to Government Order No 4/2010 and collaborating in this respect have included in their own budget the amounts required for the achievement of objectives. The strategy for the development and update of the national infrastructure for spatial information is to be prepared by the INIS Council through the Planning of activities which will be subject to approval by the Government. 16-Feb-16 20 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 5.2 INSPIRE Stakeholders On the date of this report, co-stakeholders have been identified for the development and implementation of INIS, such as central public authorities that are members in the INIS Council, the academic environment, the private environment, non-government organisations. They are listed in Annex 9.1 and 9.2. The main producers of spatial data are: - The Ministry of National Defence by the Directorate for Military Topography - The Ministry of the Environment and Forestry by the subordinated institutions (“Apele Romane” National Undertaking, National Meteorology Undertaking, Delta Dunarii Biosphere Reserve Undertaking, Research and Forestry Arrangements Institute etc) - The Ministry of Administration and the Interior by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development by the Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture and the National Institute for Research and Development in Soil, Agro-Chemistry and Environment Protection. Most of the stakeholders interested in spatial information have worked independently and each of them has created spatial data sets for internal use; they are both producers and users of spatial data sets. The communication services required for the interconnection of the systems of coordinating and collaborating public authorities, as well as the access to the national geo-portal, are made available by the internal infrastructure of the Special Telecommunications Service. 5.3 Role of the various stakeholders The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration is the contact point with the European Commission as regards the INSPIRE Directive and holds the President’s Office of the INIS Council; the vice-President’s Office of the Council is held by the Ministry of the Environment and Forestry. As a coordinating body, the main tasks that the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration fulfils are the following: - to develop and maintain the geo-portal; - to ensure the compatibility of the geo-portal with the INSPIRE geo-portal of the European Community; - to ensure the functionality of the e-commerce service; - to ensure the material and human resources required for the development and update of INIS according to the competences relevant for the field of activity; - to monitor the implementation and use of INIS, to ensure the reporting to the European Commission and to make the results of the monitoring publicly available; - to make available to public authorities or third parties any information, including data, codes and technical classifications which are required for compliance with the rules implementing the INSPIRE Directive without restricting their use to this purpose only; - to organise groups of experts; - by the geo-portal, to develop, to operate and maintain services of search, view, download, transformation, call and others; - to ensure the access to services by the INSPIRE geo-portal of the European Community and by the national geo-portal; - to ensure the technical conditions for public authorities to connect their spatial data sets and related services to the network of services; - to create the technical framework required for the sharing of spatial data sets and related services by public authorities; - to ensure the access of Community institutions and bodies to spatial data sets and services in conditions of harmonisation with the other Member States in compliance with implementing rules governing such conditions, which are prepared by the European Commission; - to monitor the implementation and use of INIS and to ensure permanent access to the results of this monitoring for the European Commission and the public. 16-Feb-16 21 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 In accordance with Government Order No 4/2010, public authorities and institutions that are members of the INIS Council must: - create and update the metadata for the spatial data sets and services related to themes; - take action to ensure the availability of all newly-collected and massively-restructured spatial data and of their related spatial data services in compliance with the norms prepared by the European Commission; - take action to make available any information, including data, codes and technical classifications, to all public authorities and third parties. In Annex 4 to Government Order No 4/2010, coordinating and collaborating roles are assigned to public authorities and institutions responsible for spatial data sets in accordance with the themes in the INSPIRE Directive. - Thus, the Ministry of the Environment and Forestry is a coordinator for 12 INSPIRE themes: I.8 Hydrography; I.9 Protected sites; II.2 Land cover; III.7 Environmental monitoring facilities; III.8 Production and industrial facilities; III.11 Area management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units; III.13 Atmospheric conditions; III.14 Meteorological geographical features; III.16 Sea regions; III.17 Bio-geographical regions; III.18 Habitats and biotopes; III.19 Species distribution. - The Ministry of Administration and the Interior is a coordinator for 8 INSPIRE themes: I.1 Coordinate reference systems; I.2 Geographical grid systems; I.4 Administrative units; I.5 Addresses; I.6 Cadastral parcels; II.3 Orthoimagery; III.2 Buildings; III.6 Utility and governmental services. - The Ministry of National Defence is a coordinator for 2 INSPIRE themes: I.3 Geographical names; II.1 Elevation. - The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is a coordinator for 2 INSPIRE themes: III.3 Soil; III.9 Agricultural and aquaculture facilities. - The National Statistics Institute is a coordinator for 2 INSPIRE themes: III.1 Statistical units; III.10 Population distribution – demography. - The Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism is a coordinator for 2 INSPIRE themes: III.4 Land use; III.12 Natural risk zones. - For the themes: I.7 Transport networks, the coordinator is the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure; II.4 Geology, the coordinator is the Ministry of Education, Research, Youth and Sport; III.5 Human health and safety, the coordinator is the Ministry of Health; III.20 Energy resources, the coordinator is the Ministry of the Economy, Commerce and Business Environment; III.21 Mineral resources, the coordinator is the National Agency for Mineral Resources. 16-Feb-16 22 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 The roles concerning the update of data, the processing of future data and the related services will be established by the INIS Council. By its Law No 92/1996 on the organisation and functioning, the Special Telecommunications Service is empowered to provide services relating to data communication within public and private networks and to related security to all the public institutions in Romania. STS is a provider of internet services for public authorities in addition to complementary services: - broadband access in international and national exchange; - IP resources administration (AS number, IP class); - hosting web, email, ftp, videostream; - registration of .eu domains. 5.4 Measures taken to facilitate sharing An important step in order to facilitate the sharing of data and spatial data services was the establishment of the INIS Council which has improved communication between public authorities and institutions holding and using spatial data and providers of services. The creation of this legal framework enabled a first general evaluation of the spatial data and services held by every public institution and authority. This evaluation (monitoring) is a ground for the identification of the current spatial information and of the producers of spatial data. The sharing of data was recommended within the meetings of the INIS Council by the conclusion of agreements between the authorities and institutions holding spatial data. The Ministry of National Defence, by its Directorate for Military Topography, either directly or in collaboration with other institutions, undertook the responsibility to achieve some INSPIRE themes. To this end, collaboration protocols are to be concluded between MApN/DTM, as the Coordinator/Collaborator, and the other institutions with responsibilities relating to the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive. 5.5 Stakeholder cooperation In the framework of the Institutional Twinning Project RO 2006/IB/OT-01 PHARE 2006/018147.02.01.03, the experts of the project unit in the area of spatial information infrastructure in the Netherlands, together with the partners in Romania, organised two workshops in January 2008. The first workshop on 22 and 23 January 2008 focused on debating strategic issues with the representatives of the most important partners, including the options for the organisational structure of INIS. The second workshop on 24 and 25 January 2008 was more technical in nature and focused on the stages that must be followed for the development of INIS in Romania. After the approval of Order No 4/2010, a number of five working meetings were held by the INIS Council: - on 17 February 2010, the first meeting of the INIS Council was held. The purpose of this meeting was to create connections between the representatives of the INIS Council and to establish principles for the organisation of the Council and of its activities. The discussions held within this meeting focused on the principles of Order No 4/2010 establishing the national infrastructure for spatial information, the objectives proposed within the INIS Council and the deadlines imposed by the INSPIRE Directive; within the same meeting, the participants received a multimedia material containing all the relevant materials on INSPIRE. - On 8 March 2010, the second meeting of the INIS Council was held. Its purpose was to present the Draft Government Decision approving the Organisation Chart and the Rules of organisation and functioning of the INIS Council, and the questionnaire of spatial data; within the same meeting, the Monitoring and Reporting stage included in the INSPIRE Directive was presented. - On 19 March 2010, the third meeting of the INIS Council was held. Its purpose was to present the final version of the Draft Government Decision approving the Organisation Chart and the Rules of Organisation and Functioning of the INIS Council, and the registration of spatial data questionnaires; 16-Feb-16 23 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 On 12 April 2010, the fourth meeting of the INIS Council was held. Its purpose was to present to participants the report that had to be submitted on 15 May to the European Commission and to complete the questionnaires of spatial data. Two technical working meetings were held within the same meeting on 14 April 2010 (for the themes in Annex III) and on 16 April 2010 (for the themes in Annex I and II). - On 12 April 2010, the fifth meeting of the INIS Council was held. The purpose of this meeting was the approval of the Report on 15 May. The Secretary’s Office of the INIS Council ensures communication with the public institutions and authorities holding spatial data. The communication and the transfer of documents between the CINIS members are also ensured by the FTP public server (file transfer protocol) at the address http://195.138.192.23 . - 16-Feb-16 24 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 The national geo-portal Romania will ensure access to the appropriate metadata, spatial data services and sets by an infrastructure accessible via the internet, which is created in compliance with the requirements of Directive 2007/2/EC. The national geo-portal is in the process of implementation and testing. It may be accessed at the following address: http://geoportal.ancpi.ro/geoportal. Figure 6. National geo-portal The current version of the geo-portal complies with the following standards: Standards for metadata, such as: ISO 19139/19115/19119, Inspire Profile, Dublin Core, FGDC; Standards for interface for integration with external map services, such as: WMS, WFS, WCS, ArcGIS Server, GeoRSS, KML/KMZ; Standards for interface: Z39.50, OAI, WAF, CSW; Interfaces for communication, such as: OGC CSW 2.0.2, REST, SOAP, Open Search The current version of the Romanian geo-portal offers the following functionalities: Search services – making it possible to discover spatial data sets and services on the basis of the content of the corresponding metadata. The search may be performed by using: - a keyword; - a type of resource; - a data set category; - an area (spatial search); - a combination of several criteria. Metadata view Validation of the metadata user by using the ISO TC211 scheme; View of map services online and directly from metadata (zoom/pan); View of map services online by using the view option which enables the user: - to navigate: (zoom/pan); - to identify and interrogate data; - to overlay viewable multiple spatial data sets; - to adjust the properties of map services (transparency, visibility etc) - to search both repositories of geo-portals or any other repository connected to the geo-portal; 16-Feb-16 25 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 - to add map services discovered by the metadata search form; Registration of external metadata; Search for external metadata connected to the geo-portal; Following the monitoring of data sets and spatial data services, thematic geo-portals have been identified: One example of a thematic geo-portal is the one held by the Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture that may be accessed at the address http://lpis.apia.org.ro by using the following identification details: user: lpisweb and password: apia2008. It provides functions of viewing ortho-photo plans, physical blocks, searching physical blocks also by coordinates, as well as information about physical blocks and the possibility to list such information. Figure 7. APIA Geo-portal The National Heritage Institute subordinated to the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage developed a thematic geo-portal in collaboration with representatives of the private domain, which can be accessed at the address http://www.egispat.inmi.ro . The eGISpat national programme was established by Order No 2408/2005 of the Minister of Culture and Cults by the development of a geographic information system (GIS) for the protection of the national real estate cultural heritage (archeology and historical monuments). The system offers viable and modern solutions for: the administration of complex information for the purposes of the Ministry; the optimisation of data exchange with the other State-owned institutions; the optimum information of the population within limits which are established by legal rules; the provision of access and of other services to external users of information. In addition to these internal actions, the programme proposes to collect, to structure and to present information in the area of environment and spatial planning within the territory of Romania. The interpretation and correlation of these categories of information will enable the procurement of new data concerning areas of a major importance for the protection of the real estate heritage: the influence of natural factors on the real estate heritage, categories of risks to which the real estate heritage is exposed, methods of efficient risks management, the correlation with actions of other institutions of the central administration. The application has two components: 1. The public application, intended for the general public, which makes it possible to search a historical monument following indicators such as: the monument code, the monument address, the monument designation and date. 16-Feb-16 26 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 2. The expert application is dedicated to specialised bodies, i.e. the National Historical Monuments Institute (INMI) and the Ministry of Culture and Cults (MCC), the Directorate for Culture in Bucharest, which are provided with the possibility to edit the spatial database. These functionalities are intended for authorized persons only, and access is granted through a user name and password.

It will be possible to use such services by way of the INIS geo-portal. The Directorate for Military Topography within the Ministry of National Defence will make publicly available and free of charge search/discovery, view and transformation services in compliance with the rules in force. Download services will be ensured by MApN/DTM by its internal geo-portal for consideration in compliance with the rules in force on copyrights and related rights. 5.6 Access to services through the INSPIRE Geoportal Until the date when this report was prepared, there has been no access to services through the INSPIRE geo-portal. 16-Feb-16 28 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 6 Usage of the infrastructure for spatial information (Article 14) 6.1 Use of spatial data services in the Spatial Information Infrastructure Following the process of information collection for the monitoring of spatial data and spatial data services, a reduced number of spatial data services have been identified at national level. Thus, access to: - metadata through search services has a weight of 5%; - spatial data sets through view services has a weight of 16%; - spatial data sets through download services has a weight of 4%; - spatial data sets through view and download services has a weight of 1%; These services are provided independently on the websites of public institutions and authorities and are set out in the INSPIRE monitoring document. 6.2 Use of spatial data sets by public authorities Until the date when this report was prepared, owing to the absence of a legal framework for coordination as well as to the weak cooperation between public institutions, most of them had to develop spatial data for internal use only. By the establishment of the legal coordination body, referred to as the INIS Council, Order No 4/2010 provides for the fostering of partnerships and cooperation between public institutions and authorities in the use of spatial data. The Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism develops and coordinates the Programme on the development of the “Information System pertaining to the area of Urban Real Estate and Databanks”, legally supported by Law No 7/1996 on cadastre and real estate. The programme is designed and organised to include the built area of all urban and rural localities of the country, namely 320 towns and municipalities and 2,855 communes with an area of about 18,000 square kilometers.

It is also designed for the purpose of determining the value of immovable goods, which is required in order to have an accurate system of taxes and fees in place. One example of Information System pertaining to the area of urban real estate and databanks (SISDIEBU) is the Information System of the Town Hall in Timisoara (TimSig). Figure 10. Information System of the Town Hall in Timişoara (TimSig) 16-Feb-16 31 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 It is the first project of this kind in the country, which was designed to be developed in partnership with the undertakings subordinated to the Town Hall and with public utilities companies in order to obtain a unitary and comprehensive GIS system at locality level. The Urban Databank can be interrogated by the Intranet Network of the Town Hall so as to enable any office or directorate to use the data submitted. 16-Feb-16 32 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 6.3 Use of the spatial data infrastructure by the general public According to Chapter 6.1, a small number of public institutions and authorities provide spatial data view and download services that are available to the public as well. There has been no centralised system yet to provide specific information on how the public may use spatial data. APIA made available to the public a part of the data held (an ortho-photo plan and vector data describing physical blocks) by LPIS WEB. It is mainly intended for farmers who wish to submit aid applications for agriculture. 6.4 Cross-border usage The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration participates in mixed RomanianUkrainian cross-border committees for the purpose of carrying out cross-border control works at the border between Romania and Ukraine and of settling current issues. In the framework of this cooperation, meetings have been held and the following issues were approached: - The analysis of cross-border checks at the State border between Romania and Ukraine; quality assessment with regard to the development of the first edition of ortho-photo plans for the Romanian-Ukrainian State border by the Romanian party and the establishment of the method for their processing in the future; - The analysis of topographical and geodetic measurements and the establishment of the method for the elaboration of the draft List of coordinates and elevation marks for border signs; The observation in situ of the first edition of ortho-photo plans. ANCPI has concluded agreements for border delimitation with neighbouring countries such as: Serbia and Hungary – signed; Ukraine – in progress; Agreements are in place for data exchange from GNSS permanent stations with: Moldova and Hungary – signed; Bulgaria and Ukraine – under discussion; Because the Ministry of National Defence has concluded, through its Directorate for Topography and under a Government Decision, collaboration protocols with all the neighbouring countries, it can develop spatial information for use at cross-border level. The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, as a member of EuroGeographics (www.eurogeographics.org), has been involved in the development and update of the following products: EuroGlobalMap (a set of topographic data that is representative for the scale of 1:1,000,000), EuroBoundaryMap (administrative limits corresponding to the scale of 1:100,000) and EuroRegionalMap (a set of data that is representative for the scale of 1:250,000). In the framework of these projects, the continuity of geographical elements corresponding to the scale of 1:250,000 and 1:1,000,000 has been ensured by information exchange with technical correspondents in neighbouring countries. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure ensures data exchange in the area of aviation in compliance with the requirements of Annex 15 of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. 6.5 Use of transformation services On the date when this report was prepared, no transformation services were available in order to achieve the interoperability of data, but they are planned to be developed and integrated in the national geo-portal. 16-Feb-16 33 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 TransDatRO software application is being developed by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration, an application which is free of charge for users and can be downloaded from the website of ANCPI. On the basis of some grids for planimetric corrections and abnormalities (in the case of quasi-geoid), they ensure the transformation of coordinates from the European reference system ETRS89 to the national reference systems Krasovski 1942 (S-42) with the Stereographical projection in 1970 (for the whole territory of Romania), Hayford 1910 with the Stereographical projection in 1930 (for Bucharest municipality) and to the system of normal altitudes for the Black Sea in 1975. The transformation of coordinates is carried out in two stages: Helmert global transformation for the procurement of approximate transformed coordinates; Interpolation, by the mechanism of bicubic spline surfaces, of corrections in the grids of planimetric corrections and abnormalities with the procurement of accurate transformed coordinates. The accuracy of transformation of planimetric coordinates is around 10 to 15 cm, and of altitudes around 15 to 30 cm (depending on the accuracy of the quasi-geoid in the area of points subject to transformation). The transformation of coordinates may be achieved by using source files of the ASCII type, or interactively, point by point. In 2008, the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) launched the Romanian Satellite Positioning System – ROMPOS on the market in Romania. This system provides users who use satellite positioning equipments (GPS/GNSS receivers) with services enabling the determination of coordinates in post-processing mode or even in situ in real time (RTK measurement mode – Real Time Kinematic) with centimeter accuracies within seconds. Real Time ROMPOS services (RTK) are currently supported by TransDatRO software. 16-Feb-16 34 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 7 Data sharing arrangements (Article 15) 7.1 Data sharing arrangements between public authorities The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration has concluded agreements for the sharing of data with other public authorities. On 11 November 2008, ANCPI concluded a framework collaboration protocol with the administrative-territorial units (ATU) for the development of general cadastre, approved by Order No 601/2008, which was published in the Official Gazette, Part I, No 823 of 8 December 2008. The signatories thereto agree to collaborate in accordance with the provisions of this protocol for the purpose of developing the general cadastre map in ATU and of entering all buildings in the real estate records. ANCPI concluded in 2009 an inter-institutional collaboration protocol with APIA (the Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture) with regard to: The availability of data and information (at the request of one party, the other party shall supply free of charge data or information held within the deadline and format agreed); The allocation of human resources (at the request of one party, within the limit of the available qualified staff, for the period and tasks agreed on under the protocol. The corresponding staffrelated costs shall be borne by the party holding the employed staff); The allocation of logistic resources (by ANCPI for the printing of graphical materials at the request of APIA). Having regard to the provisions of Article 3(9) of Order No 39 of 2009 of the Minister of Administration and the Interior, ANCPI made available to local public authorities free of charge the ortho-photo plan mosaic with 0.5 to 10 m resolution for the fulfilment of specific duties. ANCPI concluded an inter-institutional collaboration protocol with the Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture on the access to the topographic reference plan of Romania on the scale of 1:5,000 in digital format (view and use on the web, VPN network). The final product is represented by the spatial database developed on the TOPRO5 structure and made official by Order No 80 of 26 February 2010 of the General Director of ANCPI approving the detailed rules for the development of the reference topographic plan corresponding to the scale of 1:5,000. At the level of ANCPI, a database was created for Romania by the migration of all databases covering areas outside the built area, which were structured by counties. A more detailed list of protocols concluded by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration with other public institutions is set out in Annex 9.4. The Ministry of National Defence / Directorate for Military Topography has concluded collaboration protocols with certain public institutions and it has planned to conclude other agreements as well with all the responsible public institutions for the sharing of data. To this date, the Directorate for Military Topography has concluded collaboration protocols for the implementation of INIS in Romania with the following institutions: The Ministry of the Environment and Forestry – on the exchange and update of geographic information on the hydrographical network in Romania; The Ministry of Administration and the Interior – on the exchange of geographic information; The National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration – for the establishment of the national infrastructure for spatial information in Romania and of the INIS Council – the participation of the head of the Directorate for Military Topography as a permanent member and representative of the Ministry of National Defence; The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development – on services of aerial survey and development of ortho-photo plans. 16-Feb-16 35 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 The National Agency for Mineral Resources – has concluded concession contracts (referred to as mining permits/licenses, oil agreements) with private institutions for mining/oil activities. By the conclusion of these contracts, the respective private institutions are granted the right to prospect/explore/exploit the respective site under the law. In addition, they also receive data/information/documents concerning the respective site, which are held by ANRM on the date when the contract is signed and which are the object of data sets included in Annex III.8, 11, 20, 21. These contracts also include clauses concerning the obligations of ANRM and of its collaborating private institutions regarding spatial data. The mining permits/licences, oil agreements signed by ANRM with private and public institutions may be found on the website www.namr.ro. ANRM does not have other types of agreements, such as data sharing agreements, with other private institutions. Special Telecommunications Service Spatial data sharing between the IT infrastructures of collaborating and coordinating authorities is achieved through the private networks made available and administered by the Special Telecommunications Service (STS). Services of data communication and access to public and private networks are provided by STS for public authorities on the basis of Government decisions, protocols and conventions concluded bilaterally. For coordinating and collaborating authorities in the area of INSPIRE, the communication services are made available free of charge pursuant to Government Order No 4/2010. STS has concluded protocols with ANCPI and MApN for the use of geo-spatial data in emergency situations, command and control centres, critical infrastructures and the single emergency call number 112. 7.2 Data sharing arrangements between public authorities and Community institutions and bodies In general, these data sharing arrangements between public authorities were not available on the date when they were requested, but collaborating protocols as well as other types of arrangements have been concluded. The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure – In the area of aviation: The Decision of the Permanent Committee of Eurocontrol on the creation of the European AIS Aeronautical Database (EAD), and the Provisional Council of Eurocontrol on the transition and migration of States to EAD, which has become a binding objective in the European Convergence and Implementation Plan. Romania is in full compliance with the European objectives. 7.3 Barriers to the sharing and the actions taken to overcome them National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration Barriers: The legal framework has not been sufficiently developed in order to enable/require the sharing of data between public institutions; Central authorities do not have a record of spatial data at local level and they do not have an adequate institutional capacity in the area of GIS for the coordination and management of spatial information at local level; There has not been any technical possibility to publish on the internet, on a shared platform, spatial information and data in the area of activity of central public authorities. Steps taken: ANCPI has initiated a series of bilateral meetings culminating with the conclusion of collaboration protocols by specific fields of activity. These protocols also make reference to data sharing methods or provide for collaboration in the area of spatial information; ANCPI has initiated the development of a geo-portal application for its internal data and for the data of other institutions. The geo-portal provides users with access to the services defined in the INSPIRE Directive; ANCPI made available the ortho-photo plan of Romania on the scale of 1:5,000 to public authorities; 16-Feb-16 36 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 ANCPI made available to public authorities the Database of Equity Instruments issued pursuant to the provisions of property rules (Law No 247/2005). The National Agency for Mineral Resources – the data sets included in Annex III.20 and III.21 are regarded as classified information and are subject to Law No 182/2002 on the protection of classified information and, in addition, they are also subject to the provisions of the Law on mining and of the Law on oil. 16-Feb-16 37 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 8 Cost / Benefit aspects (Article 16) 8.1 Costs resulting from implementing INSPIRE Directive The costs incurred and estimated by the National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI) for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive are: Year 2009 - 2010 2011 2012 in estimated in Eur estimated in Eur 2,670,000 - - - 400,000 400,000 400,000 80,000 80,000 80,000 100,000 100,000 100,000 1,400,000 6,150,000 5,750,000 5,500,000 470,000 150,000 150,000 150,000 4,725,000 6,880,000 6,480,000 6,230,000 incurred Eur Data production (TOPRO5) Update of TOPRO5 Metadata 2013 estimated in Eur 35,000 Geo-portal development maintenance and 150,000 Data verification and integration for the geo-portal Creation of spatial data and services in accordance with the annexes to the INSPIRE Directive Hardware and software equipment Total TOTAL 2011-2013: 19,590,000 The costs estimated by the National Agency for Mineral Resources (ANRM) for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive – about EUR 1 million (the construction of a geo-portal of ANRM, the purchase of IT equipment and software, implementation, monitoring etc). The costs estimated by the Paying and Interventions Agency for Agriculture (APIA) for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive – for the update of LPIS – for the development of the orthophoto plan and the update of physical blocks are: Year 2007-2009 incurred Eur in 2010 2012 2013 estimated in Eur estimated in Eur estimated in Eur - - Update of ortho-photo plans 3,816,000 800,000 Update of LPIS 271,000 370,000 External Quality Control (EQC) 348,000 136,000 - - Total 4,435,000 1,306,000 - - Costs estimated by the Directorate for Military Topography for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive: for the development of the internal geo-portal, costs are estimated to RON 56,000, about EUR 12,444 and for the creation of spatial information and the acquisition of technical equipment 16-Feb-16 38 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 and specific technology between 2001 and 2010, costs are estimated to RON 85,500,000 (EUR 1,900,000). The costs estimated by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure for the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive: a total cost of about RON 55,230,112 (about EUR 12,273,358) is estimated for the public procurement programme for services concerning the development of the cadastre map for the entire network of national roads. The costs incurred with the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive can be established following some appraisals from specialised consultants under a services contract signed for this purpose. 8.2 Benefits Considering that a legal framework was established only at the beginning of 2010 for the implementation of a national infrastructure for spatial information, direct benefits from the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive have not been visible yet. The benefits pursued to be obtained by the implementation of a national infrastructure for spatial information are in general: reduced duplication of spatial data sets reduced costs for the creation of spatial data improved quality of spatial data enhanced access to spatial data of public authorities and institutions and of the general public Some examples of direct benefits identified within ANCPI: The TOPRO5 reference topographic plan of Romania developed by ANCPI is the cartographic support dedicated to data integration at national level. It will be part of the single geo-spatial information management system in compliance with Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). CNGCFT will publish official maps and plans on different scales on the basis of the Reference Topographic Plan of Romania on the scale of 1:5,000. The activity carried out by ANCPI with regard to the creation of metadata (instrument used, profile, format, information collection) in accordance with INSPIRE may also be regarded as an example of good practice for the other organisations involved in the production of spatial data. The metadata created in accordance with the INSPIRE specifications is already used within the ANCPI geo-portal. The activity carried out for the purpose of centralising all the information required for the preparation of the monitoring and reporting documents entailed the establishment of new contacts with the ministries and institutions/organizations/agencies involved in the creation of spatial data and opened up the way to some close and lucrative collaborations between ministries as regards the creation and exchange (sharing) of spatial data at national level. The Information System for Urban Real Estate and Databanks specified in Chapter 6.2 will enable quality improvement and the diversification of the services provided to citizens, maximised efficiency, an increase in the transparency of the activities carried out by the staff, the creation of new access and communication channels for citizens, companies and institutions, a fast and secure information sharing and dissemination. 16-Feb-16 39 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 9 Conclusions Spatial data sharing is required at national level in order to avoid additional costs incurred with the information production and management and the integration of that information with other information. Likewise, if the spatial data produced for an application can be used in other applications as well, money, time and effort can be equally saved. Following the analysis of the information received from institutions/organizations/agencies/ministries holding spatial data, it was found that interoperability needs to be ensured. Thus, certain competences were required to enable the analysis with regard to the specific field of activity of the different institutions/organisations/agencies/ministries and understanding of how they created their own spatial data sets. Technical differences were identified in terms of the construction/format of databases as well as semantic differences in the definition of terms. A significant part of the data used within the institutions/organizations/agencies/ministries is in analogue format or is based on the information included in the old plans and maps scanned and georeferenced. This agreement includes not only technical or database construction-related differences but also semantic differences relating to the definition of terms. In the medium and long term, it will be necessary to employ or train a sufficient number of “INIS staff” (execution and coordination) within the institutions/organisations/agencies/ministries involved in the CINIS activity. Following the centralisation of information at national level, the themes left uncovered with spatial data are: Annex I: Addresses; Annex III: Human health and safety. There is metadata for 32% of the data sets identified. The producers of this metadata are: The Ministry of National Defence (Directorate for Military Topography); The Ministry of Administration and the Interior (National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration); The Ministry of the Environment and Forestry; The Ministry of the Economy, Commerce and Business Environment (“TRANSELECTRICA” SA National Electricity Transport Undertaking). 13% of this metadata is in compliance with the INSPIRE requirements. The producers of this metadata are: The Ministry of Administration and the Interior (National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration); The Ministry of the Economy, Commerce and Business Environment (“TRANSELECTRICA” SA National Electricity Transport Undertaking); As regards the spatial data sets identified, the coverage rate at territory level is 95%. For Annex I, not a single spatial data set has been identified to be in compliance with the INSPIRE requirements. As regards spatial data services: 16% of the total data sets identified can be viewed; 4% thereof can be downloaded; 1% of the spatial data sets can be viewed and downloaded. Transformation and invoke services have not been identified at national level. The compliance with the INSPIRE requirements as soon as possible at the level of all the institutions involved entails the allocation of additional funds for the development of some WEB applications for metadata editing and verification. 16-Feb-16 40 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 For a successful meeting of the INIS objectives, the legislative framework needs to be updated for a better collaboration between the local and central public authorities and the rest of data producers/managers, such as utilities undertakings. Legislative amendments are also required for the mandatory publication through the geoportal of restrictions regarding the civil society in the area of spatial data. (for example, urban restrictions, the functions established by various regulations such as the General Urban Plan, the Urban Zoning Plan, the Development Urban Plan). The successful implementation of INIS involves a realistic assessment of the necessary resources as far as possible from the part of responsible public authorities and their inclusion in the consolidated State budget. 16-Feb-16 41 INSPIRE Member State Report: Romania, 2010 10 Annexes 10.1 List of members in the INIS Council – names and contact details No Name Contact data 1.
