The primary purpose of the European Land Registry Association (ELRA) is the development and understanding of the role of land registration in real property and capital markets. ELRA wants to underline the significance of Land Registries in Europe as juridical institutions and the scope of the effects of registration pronouncements as a fundamental tool for progress and change in the rule of law in the field of property and rights on immovables.

In Warsaw, the progress of ELRA’s Interoperability Model for Land Registers (IMOLA) was discussed. Sjef van Erp gave a presentation on the relevance of data acquired through the Internet of Things (including land and houses) for land registration. In their meeting representatives of ELRA and the ELI discussed topics of common interests in a bid to further intensify their cooperation. In particular, the prospective Access to Digital Assets ELI project was discussed and ELRA is interested in getting involved in it. More details about this project, which aims on elaborating a draft European legislative instrument, enabling the tracing and gaining of access to digital assets within the European Union in the interests of European private citizens and European businesses can be found here.
