What is EPSG:3035?
ETRS89 / LAEA Europe, the equal-area projection the European Union uses for statistics and grids that cover all of Europe, such as the EEA reference grid.
What are the units and axis order of EPSG:3035?
Metres, counted from a false origin of 4,321,000 m east and 3,210,000 m north. Most GIS software writes easting first, then northing; check the order of your source data when a point lands in the wrong place.
How do I use EPSG:3035 in QGIS?
To show the map in it: Project > Properties > CRS, search 3035. To save a layer in it: right-click the layer, Export > Save Features As, and pick EPSG:3035. Set Layer CRS only labels a file whose system is missing; it does not move the data.
Is EPSG:3035 the same as WGS 84?
Nearly: its datum sits within two metres of WGS 84, so the converter applies no shift between them. For survey-grade work, use the official transformation of the national mapping agency.
