Provision of harmonised land cover / land use information: LUCAS and national systems 2014 Eurostat – LUCAS

Agenda Tour de table & Restaurant Introduction on grants by Eurostat Presentations by grant holders EAGLE matrix

LUCAS grants: statistics + in-situ data Explore a better integration of MS data into the EUROSTAT LC/LU statistics production cycle Quality & comparability, cost efficiency, timeliness  harmonise LC/LU statistics in MS, access to micro data  integrate LUCAS in national in-situ survey

LUCAS grant results Applications Grants 2012: DE, EL, IT, NL, NO, PL, PT Grants 2014: AT, FI, FR, HU, IT, RO   2012 2014 Objective 1 Stat. Tables 7 6 (+5) Objective 2 In-situ 3 3 (+2)

Grants 2015 Call foreseen for June Closing date foreseen: end of August Objective 1: statistical tables from MS  classification: fine-tuned Methodological study - Evaluate grant results (2016): Integration of data from MS with survey results

Current grants First 3 interim reports received! Templates for better comparability: Columns can be added (at the end)  data sources: evaluation Request for payment + final financial report!

Objective 1: Land cover/use statistics * Data sources - classification, precision  Which LUCAS statistics can be covered easily, with adaptations, with difficulties? * Methodology - for calculating areas * Results: comparison & quality & comparability * Update cycles
