dear all, I spoke on the phone today with Tuija Talsi, the person on the Finnish COREPER[0] staff responsible for environmental information. She said:
- INSPIRE has not been discussed in COREPER yet. It will feature in the Working Party meeting at the start of September. - COREPER does not expect to be sending INSPIRE to Council before the end of September / start of October - There are two large Environment directives coming up for conciliation this cycle; the other one is the groundwater directive and this is scheduled to go through the process first, before INSPIRE. http://ec.europa.eu/environment/water/water-framework/groundwater.html I don't understand why such a key stage of the legislative process, completely designing its outcome, has to be carried out in private. But I understand more than I did this morning, which is good.
