European Geodetic Surveyors (CLGE) in cooperation with the Romanian
Association of Private Surveyors, the Romanian Geodetic Union, and
the Romanian Agency of Cadastre and Land Registration.
The opening session included welcome addresses from
the Romanian government and the Romanian surveying organisations
followed by an opening speech from the CLGE President Mr. Henning
Elmstroem and a keynote address by the FIG President Stig
Enemark entitled “From Cadastre to Land Governance” showing
the evolution of cadastral systems over recent years towards the
broader concept of land governance and the role of FIG and global
surveying profession in this regard.
The conference was well attended by the delegates
from the more than 30 CLGE member countries and about 130 local
Romanian surveyors. The conference was organized in three main
