New European Map Projections
"The European Commission has adopted a series of map projections that has been developed out of a workshop held by MEGRIN with input from the Expert Group on Geodesy in December 2000 in Marne La Vallée. The PDF file (WS proceedings and projection detailed descriptions) is available on the EC-GIS web site at the following address (big report!)" [EuroGeographics.org!](15 May 2003)
