Based on that document SGA has launched activities towards establishment of infrastructural frame, which should enable successful and efficient usage of spatial information for all segments of Croatian society. Therefore new Law on State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre with a new chapter on NSDI has been sent in to the parliamentary procedure, following also recent developments on INSPIRE Directive.
