The Minister of Justice, Rafael Catalá, stated during the inauguration of the technical conference Cartography of properties: a single reality, a single representation to be favorable to the initiative of the proposal of unification of cartographic properties presented by the Association of State Agronomists ( ANIADE). Specifically, Catalá has commented “to be in favor of the initiative that implies an administrative simplification, rationalization of resources, greater efficiency and legal security and interoperability of data between the Registry and the Cadastre”. And he added that in “initiatives like this one, it is fundamental to work together, to advance towards success that will be beneficial for the whole of society”.

After the inauguration by the Minister of Justice, Fernando Serrano, Vocal Cartography Adviser, General Directorate of the Cadastre of the Ministry of Finance and Public Function, offered the numerical results of the current coordination work since the publication of Law 13 / 2015 Specifically, Serrano has indicated that the coordinated farms, and as such are represented in the database of the Registry and the Cadastre, are approximately 130,000, 75,000 rustic versus 55,000 urban, despite the fact that most of the properties are rustic. The president of the Spanish Agricultural Guarantee Fund (FEGA), Miguel Ángel Riesgo, has indicated that four out of every five euros of aid from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) are linked to the area in which the Catastro-SigPAC convergence takes place. Recalling that the coordination work with the Cadastre began in 1992, and that the orthophoto base is updated every three years.
“The digital transformation is setting new rules for different sectors of society in which georeferencing is fundamental,” said Felix Valle, head of Indra Cadaster, who then introduced some examples developed by the Spanish multinational in this area, linked for example to the real estate environment. José Luis Montero, promoter of this initiative from ANIADE, has clearly shown that “a single reality has a single representation, combining the efforts it recognizes have been made both in the Cadastral-Registry coordination, as in the Catastro-SigPAC convergence . To this end, it proposes that all the registered properties be georeferenced on the cadastral plan and that all the deeds, authorized by notaries, show the georeferenced properties compatible with the cadastral plan “.
