The World Bank and donors Agencies contribution are highly appreciated and support the development of the First Cadastre Project in Moldova.
GEODETIC DATUM AND ACTUAL SISTEM S CONDITION The rectangular coordinate reference system for Moldova is called MOLDREF99. The geodetic datum for MOLDREF99 is ETRS89 and GRS80 ellipsoid; OTACI There are totally 495 points available based on MOLDREF99. These are divided into 3 classes/orders: i) 5 points of 0 class/order ii) 72 points of 1st class/order iii) 418 points of 2nd class/order; The coordinate system is UTM system for small scale mapping (1:25000 1:1000000) and the local Transverse Mercator Moldova (TMM) for large scale mapping (1:500 1:10000). The vertical datum is Baltic Sea Level based on Kronstadt zero point; UNGHENI RGN-0 (EUREF sites 5) First order sites 78 Second order sites 400 CHELTUITORUL NOU PALANCA Connection of the National Geodetic Network with the European Geodetic Frame EUREF was done.

EXISTING SITUATION About 70% of real estate objects are registered. Legal environment is created and new system of real estate evaluation is being implemented; Real estate market is assured by the information about the owner, real estate and right on real estate. The necessary conditions for private sector development (notaries, cadastral engineers, valuators) in domains connected with registration are created. Real estate market is assured by the information about the owner, real estate and right on real estate.

EXISTING SITUATION OF SPATIAL INFORMATION Moldova Orthophoto Project Project supported by the Norwegian Government in the period 2007-2009. Statens Kartverk administrated the Project. The Moldova Orthophoto Project consists of: i) production of digital orthophotos with resolution 40 cm of the entire territory excluding Transdnistrian ii) iii) production of orthophotos with resolution 20 cm for urban areas. DTM of the territory of Moldova
EXISTING SITUATION OF SPATIAL INFORMATION Geodetic Network Modernisation Moldova Line Maps for Development: New project (2009-2011) -new grant from the Norwegian Government -to be implemented over 2 years -based on the delivered orthophoto and DTM data -2 main components: i) line maps for 10% of the territory of Moldova; ii) establish 7 permanent reference stations and GPS Control Centre - adherence to the EU INSPIRE Directive - will be accompanied with knowledge transfer and on-the-job training

NEW GEODATA LEGISLATION UNDER DEVELOPMENT NSDI Act is being developed Inspire - transposition into national law 2010-2011 1. National needs detailed data, broader and deeper content 2. INSPIRE requirements simplified data
THE FUTURE AGENDA Make data from existing maps available as parts of the NSDI, in vector or/and in raster form, and the relevant geographic data available for public use through the Geoportal; Complete cadastre and land registry database; Make cadastral parcels and identifiers available as part of the NSDI through the Geoportal; Make geographic names and administrative units available as part of the NSDI; Geospatial standardization; Digital Base Map development 1: 50 000, 1: 5 000; Guide and assist other Government institutions in using approved geographic and geodetic standards in making their data available in the NSDI.

CONCLUSIONS Moldova has recently started the establishment of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure. The project aims at supporting development of e-governance, providing access to reliable and up-to-date geographical information for governmental institutions at all levels, professional users in private sector, and for the public in general. NSDI will facilitate Moldova s integration in the European geographic information service for environmental protection, response to hazards and natural disasters, etc., in compliance with the EU INSPIRE Directives and Regulations. The Norwegian contribution is highly appreciated and support the development of the country.
