Copernicus EEA39 Border Expert product (vector), version 3, Jan. 2019
For the provision of land monitoring services within the Copernicus programme, a consistent, stable, sufficiently detailed boundary layer is required at EEA, which provides a “land mask” for the area that needs to be monitored.
This metadata refers to the Border Expert product covering EEA38 and the United Kingdom (former EEA39) in vector format (GDB, SHP), including the French DOM (Saint-Barthelemy BL, Saint Martin MF, French Guiana GF, Guadeloupe GP, Martinique MQ, Mayotte YT and Reunion RE) as well as the Falkland Islands (FK).
This is an intermediate product which is further derived from the EU-Hydro Coastline Version 3 from EEA, the EEA coastline for analysis Version 2, the EBM GISCO Hybrid Layer from EEA, the “Water and Wetness High Resolution Layer 2015” from EEA and the JRC-Global Surface Water Occurrence layer.
The production of this Border Expert Product was coordinated by the European Environment Agency in the frame of the EU Copernicus programme.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset is only available for internal use within EEA in the context of the EU Copernicus programme. Copyright restrictions apply, as in this product ungeneralised data from EuroGeographics EuroBoundary Map Version 12 is included. Use of this dataset has therefore to be agreed with EEA and ultimately with EuroGeographics.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS: The Commission (and EEA) is authorized to distribute derived geographic data and other derived products based on EuroGeographics Administrative and Topographic spatial datasets, if (1) The original geometry is generalised to the equivalent of a scale of 1:3000000 or smaller, applying the same quality principles in terms of resolution and accuracy as for the original geographic data or if the content of information in terms of number of features is less or equal to 20% of the number of features in the original geographic data (for the data extent relevant to the data to be distributed), (2) The data is not used for commercial purpose and, (3) The source is acknowledged. More information about the acknowledgement of the source or metadata is given in the document "LicenseConditions.pdf" provided with the dataset.
