General Agreement:

(regardless of the methodology adopted)

«it is worth it»

CBAsWorld Geospatial Forum – Rotterdam- May 2013

(relatively) easy to calculate

(very) difficult to assess

CBAs assess benefits in economic termsIt is difficult enough to assess costs of the repercussions of INSPIRE at EU, national,

regional and local level


www.trilogis.it

it is virtual impossible to calculate the economic extent of its benefits

Then, how much is it all worth it?

Tangible opportunities and advantages for SMEs beyond the

mere concept of return on investment

My 2 cents…

benefits are extremely difficult to assess in economical terms, yet these will profoundly improve PAs creating a positive feedback mechanism that will produce further significant benefits for SMEs in the future beyond and independently from INSPIRE.

A final note…
