  8. Problems • Big quantity of Surveyors in private sector, lack of Surveyors in state sector (mainly in Cadastre) • Huge competition in the market • Low pricesdue to too big competition (mainly in the public procurements) • Paradox: big quantity of work to be done for the state (digitizing of old cadastral maps, settlement and consolidation of property – lack of state‘s orders due to low funds • Problem with abolishment of chambers still remains with slight shift of Government – intention is to preserve all chambers but with voluntary membership
