The petition to amend or reject the INSPIRE Directive establishing a framework for spatial data infrastructure in the European Union, ran from Feb. 13th 2006 to Feb 12th, 2007.

The petition accrued 8126 confirmed signatories, including representatives from all of the EU member states. If you signed, then thankyou very much for your support.

On the main Public Geodata site we'll try to provide updates on the INSPIRE process, as the Implementing Rules drafts are finished and released to the public, and as the Directive itself starts to be transposed into law in each Member State and the non-EU states (Norway, Switzerland) which aim to implement the INSPIRE terms.

If you want to find out how you can support the effort, contribute to the effort at a national level, or help us build an open directory of publically available geodata in Europe - please join the discussion list geo-discuss at OKFN
