				President CheeHai TEO joined the 3rd Cadastral Congress in 
	Warsaw, Poland. The theme was ‘Cadastre in sustainable spatial management’. 
	The Congress was organized by Association of Polish Surveyors in close 
	cooperation with the Head Office of Geodesy in Poland. About 150 
	participants from 19 countries joined.  
				The Congress was held under the auspicious of President of Poland Mr. 
				Bronisław Komorowski. The participants were welcomed by 
				Stanisław 
	Cegielski, President of the Polish Association of Surveyors, Jolanta 
	Orlińska, Surveyor General of Poland and Mr. CheeHai Teo - 
	President FIG. Prof. Stig Enemark, Honorary President of FIG, gave a 
	keynote.  
				Issues discussed were the future of Cadastre (Cadastre 2014plus), 
	cadastral reforms in local and global scale – integration of the technical 
	and legal part of cadastre, cadastre in the field of disaster management and 
	cadastre in the European Union.  
				The ambitions of the Polish Cadastre are to build a innovative and fully 
	transparent land administration, to support in e-government, to support in 
	participatory approaches (spatial planning), to integrate land 
	administration with other public registers and to support to cross-border 
	services (the EU Digital Agenda) and INSPIRE. Presenters at the Congress 
	emphasized that the majority of data included in the cadastre, especially 
	the spatial data can serve as a primary reference to the other public 
	registers. Future cadastre should register in real time all rights, 
	limitations and duties. An institutional fundament is needed. 
				The Congress recommended: 
				
					- to recognize cadastral systems as a part of a wider state 
		information infrastructure including the legal framework and with 
		relationships to various users, especially with the financial and 
		banking sectors,
 
					- to institutionalize cadastral systems in a coordinated manner in 
		order to get the maximum benefit from the cadastre, and
 
					- to consider that a cadastral system supports into long-term 
		financial investments
 Progressive, incremental cadastral development is realistic, taking into 
		account available resources for their implementation. Essential is the 
		definition and availability of appropriate data and applications 
		standards.
