MET-services

• Meteorological services are integral part of Air Navigation Services and thus part of SES legal framework

• MET-providers to be certified by competent National Supervisory Authority against common requirements (Annex 1 and 3) by end 2006/early 2007

• Annexes were developed in close coordination with MET-community

• If Member States do not designate MET-providers, marketmarket conditions apply like for providers of aeronautical information services (AIS) and to communication, navigation and surveillance providers (CNS)
