In particular, land ownership and mortgage data (which include land register information with details on the ownership, tenure, precise location and boundaries of each parcel of land, as well as the use of real estate as collateral to secure loans) was not available for re-use in Italy under the same terms as provided for other public sector data under the EU rules.

Some existing databases may also be partially integrated into the portal (for example the European Business Register and the European Land Information Service).

Feasibility studies of the use of electronic signatures in a legal setting, remote accessing of national registers (insolvency registers, land registers, commercial registers, etc) and the creation of a secure network should be started as soon as possible (not later than 2009-2010), taking into account the results already achieved by the Council (interconnection of insolvency registers, possible cooperation with EULIS and EBR).

The establishment of a national land registry is an extremely important task, in particular for the economic development of Greece. Various problems and complications have arisen in carrying out this project but on, 3 February 2004, the then Greek Government announced that the Commission had approved a draft operational programme entitled ‘Information technology data infrastructure for a modern land registry.

- Support for the setting-up of a national geographical information system and a register which will provide legal security over land ownership, strengthen the role of the municipal authorities (planning, taxation etc.) via technological resources (digital cartography, orthophotometry), human resources (European technical assistance, training) and financial resources.
