Un extrait :

"A more concrete study was undertaken in Catalonia where an investment 
in standards-based spatial data infrastructure (SDI) of €1.5 million 
over the four year period 2002-2006, realized efficiency savings of 500 
hours per month, equivalent to about €2.6 million for the entire period. 
In addition local government in Catalonia estimated an effectiveness 
savings of 480 hours per month. An important wider social benefit was 
narrowing the digital gap between larger and smaller municipalities, 
which meant that as a result of INSPIRE, smaller municipalities were 
able to offer their residents services that had previously been only 
available in larger centres."
