Scope

Pan-European conformal mapping at scales larger than 1:500,000.

Remarks

ETRS89-LCC (CRS code 3034) used for conformal mapping at 1:500,000 and smaller scales. ETRS89-LAEA (CRS code 3035) used for statistical applications at all scales. See ETRS89 / UTM zone 31N (CRS code 25831) for CRS with preferred east-north axis order.
