The draft on FBiH Spatial Data Infrastructure Law was unanimously adopted on the regular session of the House of Representatives of the FBiH Parliament session held on 27 April 2021. Director of the Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs Mr. Zeljko Obradovic presented draft Law and stressed the importance and benefits of adopting the Law.
The adoption of the Law will create a framework for easier data review and retrieval from the SDI FBiH entities jurisdiction and increase the efficiency of public authorities in areas related to spatial data. The new Federal Law creates basic rules on the Spatial Data Infrastructure establishment, which imply metadata, spatial data sets and services, agreements on exchange, access and using, as well as coordination and supervisor mechanisms. The Law also creates legal frame for management and exchange of spatial information. It will also be prevented using of the unofficial spatial data and reduced risk of administrative procedures and irregularity during downloading.
The draft on FBiH Spatial Data Infrastructure Law will also be considered on the next regular session of the House of peoples of the FBiH Parliament.
