<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The MEDIN Standards Working Group held a meeting back in November, after the Mega-meeting. One of the items that was raised for discussion was about the mandated use of the
European Union ETRS-89 coordinate reference system for INSPIRE compliance. <o:p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I have attached the paper the SWG discussed in relation to this. Our end conclusion was that the mandating of ETRS-89 as a coordinate reference system for INSPIRE compliance
did not impact metadata standards, but may have implications for yourselves in the realm of view and download services.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I am aware that some of you already have your data referenced against ETRS-89, but the SWG felt it would be wise to highlight this issue to the entire of the DAC Working
Group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
