The Workshop chaired by Ewa Wysocka of IGC, Poland attracted 15 enthusiastic participants from 9 countries (P, SP, IT, B, NL, PL, GR, F and HU) plus representative of the EUROSTAT. The AGILE Workshop provided a direct input to the work of the INSPIRE Drafting Teams represented by Marie-Louise Zambon of IGN France and Danny Vandenbroucke of SADL at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium.
Chaired by Szabolcs Mihály, Pasquale Di Donato and Gábor Remetey-Fülöpp, the sessions had the following presentations:

NSD Clearinghouse Worldwide development and impact (J. Bulens),
The monitoring and reporting mechanism in France (M-L. Zambon),

The sessions generated Q/As and in the afternoon break-out session two working groups compiled teamwork based answers on 5 questions formulated by E.Wysocka, P. Di Donato and D.
