Quality These layers are fully documented in the project report.

The data are offered as ESRI shapefiles ; one set of the data is in the Spatial
Reference System according to GISCO (documented in the GISCO Database Manual,
in Chapter 3 "Main characteristics of the GISCO reference database" under
"Spatial Reference System") ; another set of the same data is in the INSPIRE
proposed ETRS_LAEA reference system.
