6. VISION STATEMENT
• Society recognises that Cadastral and Land
Registration information and services in
Europe are fundamental for a sustainable
economic, social and environmental

Europe are constantly innovated and tailored
to meet the needs for land tenure, land value,
land use and land development functions on
both National and European level.

7. WAYS TO ACHIEVE THE VISION
• 1) Raise awareness among decision makers that Cadastral
and Land Registration information and services are
fundamental for secure land tenure, effective acquisition,
protection, enjoyment and disposal of legal rights, reliable
land value, efficient land use and sustainable land
development functions.
• 2) Promote that Cadastres and Land Registries provide
reliable and authoritative information, as well as state of
the art services, meeting the needs of private and public
users.
• 3) Enhance their core strengths by working closely,
minimise dublication of work and overlapping
competencies, help and complement each other though
their core expertise.
• 4) Cooperate to facilitate the communication with
European Institutions to promote our common vision.
