Notwithstanding the first subparagraph, Member States may continue to make use of such techniques including aerial or spatial orthoimagery, with a homogenous standard that guarantees a level of accuracy that is at least equivalent to that of cartography at a scale of 1:10000 where they were acquired on the basis of long-term contracts that were agreed before November 2012.
D'ainneoin na chéad fhomhíre, féadfaidh na Ballstáit leanúint d'úsáid a bhaint as na teicnící sin lena n-áirítear orta-íomhánna aeróige nó spásúla, le caighdeán aonchineálach a ráthaíonn cruinneas atá comhionann ar a laghad le cartagrafaíocht ar scála 1:10000, a fhaightear ar bhonn conarthaí fadtéarmacha a tugadh chun críche roimh Shamhain 2012.
