That one is part of the Corine land cover import in France. They did ask back 
then on our mailing list whether they had to cut it at the Belgian border or 
not, but since we had nothing at all, and there was no other source (no Bing 
imagery yet for example), there was no objection. There was also talk about 
whether we could import Corine land cover for Belgium as well, but that never 
happened.

Didn't think they would make polygons spanning such huge areas though :-)
