The European Environment Agency (EEA) has launched a call
for tenders for a GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security)
fast track service on land monitoring – high-resolution core land cover
data for built-up areas, including degree of soil sealing, 2006. The EEA is collaborating with the European Space Agency (ESA) and the
European Commission (EC) on the implementation of a fast track service
on land monitoring, in line with the Communication from the Commission
to the Council and the European Parliament ‘Global Monitoring for
Environment and Security (GMES): From Concept to Reality’ (COM
565 final).

For the implementation of this GMES fast track
service on land monitoring (Land FTS) 2006-2008, a CLC (Corine Land
Cover) update will be combined with the production of new
high-resolution land cover data to provide a first set of
cost-effective operational services on core land cover and land use
data at European level, based on high-quality ortho-rectified
multi-temporal satellite data.

These land cover data will support a wide range
of environmental information requirements for framing, implementing and
evaluating several policy areas at European, national and regional
level including agriculture, soil, water, urban environment, air
quality, physical planning, integrated coastal zone management,
biodiversity and nature protection.

The overall objective is the production of a
seamless European high-resolution core land cover dataset of built-up
areas, including degree of soil sealing, for the reference year 2006.
The ortho-rectified satellite input data for this GMES fast track
service will be made available by ESA.
