Moldova has a historical CLC data set from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Therefore a proposal was made to conduct a verification exercise on the 2000 CLC data set. Moldova will be able to contribute to the Danube catchment geographic information system with CLC data, as the land use/land cover data are compatible with the other countries in the catchment.  CLC will contribute to improved capabilities in flood modelling of major rivers in Moldova (cross-border cooperation with Romania).
