Only comments received by the deadline using the template provided will be considered. At the end of this phase of public consultation, the Commission will elaborate a revised proposal and submit it to the Regulatory Committee as required by the Directive.
Please see http://www.ec-gis.org/inspire/public_consultations/metadata/index.cfm
Additional Material provided as part of this consultation include:

As an additional informative document, the relation between the proposed implementing rule and the European standards EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119 is also available. This is an initial document that will be developed further in consultation with the stakeholders and relevant standardization organisations.
