14. General Agreement:
(regardless of the methodology adopted)
World Geospatial Forum – Rotterdam- May 2013
www.trilogis.it
«it is worth it»

15. CBAsWorld Geospatial Forum – Rotterdam- May 2013

(relatively)
easy to calculate
(very)
difficult to assess

16. CBAs assess benefits in economic terms
It is difficult enough to assess costs of the
repercussions of INSPIRE at EU, national,
regional and local level
World Geospatial Forum – Rotterdam- May 2013
www.trilogis.it
it is virtual impossible to calculate the
economic extent of its benefits

17. Then, how much is it all
worth it?
Tangible opportunities and
advantages for SMEs beyond the
mere concept of return on
investment

45. 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…
