(1)
Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services (2) sets out the technical arrangements for interoperability of spatial data sets, including the definition of code lists to be used for attributes and association roles of spatial object types and data types.
(2)
Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 requires attributes or association roles of spatial object types or data types that have a code list type to take values that are valid for the respective code list.

These allowed values for the code lists defined in Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 are required for the implementation of the requirements set out in that Regulation and should therefore be laid down in that Regulation as well.
(4)
The development of the code list values included in this Regulation followed the same principles with regard to user requirements, reference material, relevant Union policies or activities, feasibility and proportionality in terms of the likely costs and benefits, stakeholder involvement and consultation and international standards, as were applied to the development of the other technical arrangements laid down in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010.
(5)
Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
