The Law on the Amendment of Environmental Law and Other Laws (“Law“) was published in the Official Gazette on 15 June 2022. The Law introduces significant changes to Law No. 7221 on Amendments on Geographic Information Systems Law and Other Laws.

Within the scope of the Law, the upper limit of the fee for geographical permission regulated under the Law on Amendments on Geographic Information Systems Law and Other Laws has been specified, and certification/registration obligations regarding software, sensors and hardware that collect geographical data, as well as administrative sanctions, have been regulated.

The Law is available online here (in Turkish).

The main amendments introduced by the Law are as follows:

As per the Law, the upper limit has been set for the collection, production, transfer and sale of geographical data and the obligations regarding the license and certificate to be obtained by those who will engage in such activities were regulated. With the amendments, the administrative sanctions to be imposed in the case of violations were also regulated. Stakeholders should closely follow the amendments and the secondary regulations to be issued by the Ministry regarding the procedures and principles.
