I just learned the question went out, but we have not received an 
answer. That's not so strange, with Ascension Day and a weekend in between.

The CORINE data is not that bad, but is slightly generalised in the 
sense that features smaller than 25 ha are not present, and are rolled 
up as part of a larger area.

The way the import in France was done is to compare the CLC polygons to 
OSM polygons. Only CLC polygons with no overlap or a very small overlap 
to OSM polygons were automatically imported. The non-imported part of 
the dataset was then added to a web service, where each can select and 
export a non-imported polygon and add it to OSM themselves:
