Comments: 
This association currently includes two members (NGI, AADP).Its ambition, in the near future, is to gather the Belgian federal institutions concerned by geographical, statistical and patrimonial information.In the medium term, this association will be ready to provide the totality of the information required by INSPIRE annexes 1 and 2.
