Product 3:
National CLC2000: national land cover database for 2000 as result of the data collection and processing exercise performed by each national team including generalisation to 44 classes, 25 ha minimum mapping unit, in geographical coordinates, in vector format.

Product 4:
National land cover database on land cover changes larger than 5 ha between CLC1990 and CLC2000, in geographical coordinates, in vector format.

Product 5:
European IMAGE2000: European satellite image reference mosaic for 2000 using a European projection, all spectral bands, 25 m resolution (12.5 m panchromatic band), including metadata and image layer with boundaries for stitching between individual scenes, in BIL format.

Product 6:
European CLC 2000: European land cover database for 2000 as result of mosaic of national datasets, including 44 classes, 25 ha minimum mapping unit, in geographical coordinates, in vector format.

Product 7:
European database on land cover changes larger than 5 ha between CLC1990 and CLC 2000, in vector format.

Product 8:
CORINE land cover 250 m grid-based database as a result of a vector to raster conversion.

Product 9:
CORINE land cover 100 m grid-based database as a result of a vector to raster conversion.

Product 10:
CORINE land cover 1km² land cover statistics.

Product 11:
National CORINE land cover metadata.

Product 12:
European CORINE land cover data.

3. The products will be disseminated upon request, by the following Competent Authorities in charge with I&CLC 2000 as follows: - by the national authority in charge with I&CLC 2000 in each member country for all products.
   - by EEA , through its own services for the European products (namely for products 8, 9, 10 and 12 and subject to prior approval by the concerned member country for product 6 and 7).
4. The permission to use the above-mentioned products is granted exclusively for non-commercial purposes and the applicant is forbidden to further disseminate the received products to third parties.
5. A marginal cost for production and dissemination can be charged for each product by the Competent Authority requested to deliver the products.
6. Upon receiving the products, the applicant has the following obligations: - to duly motivate the request describing the foreseen applications (per sectors and key environmental areas);
   - to provide full coordinates of the entity using the products and the responsible persons in charge;
   - to report on any findings related to the products received (errors, omissions) and assist the competent authorities in improving the respective products;
   - to report on all applications developed based on the data provided and supply complete information and relevant materials produced on this basis to the Competent Authority;
   - to ensure that the results of the project for which the products requested are available to EEA and the concerned member country at a marginal products and dissemination costs;
   - to acknowledge the data source in all related publications or other dissemination media;
   - to submit to the Competent Authority any request for commercial purpose distribution of I&CLC 2000 products addressed to them and inform the potential users that the Competent Authority in each member country and the provider of ortho-corrected satellite images (for product 1) are the responsible bodies in charge with the commercial dissemination of the I&CLC2000 products;
   - to refrain from any actions/activities affecting the full exercise of the ownership rights and of the copy rights by the competent authorities in relation to the I&CLC2000 products.
7. The applicant acknowledge the terms and conditions for receiving the I&CLC 2000 products and agrees to comply fully with these requirements.
