Workshop structure Include round tables to allow the exchange of ideas. On the production, side is very difficult because there is no activity on WSI. The implementation plan is important. Representatives from Regions could summarise and expose the plans and implementation of WSIs in their area.

Luis critical to identify the main outcomes. Luis is proposing to have a transition plan to allow NWP centres to be able to process data with only WSI. Outcomes are important to be discussed

Jistsuko proposing to split the workshop: users, producers. Tanja is suggesting focusing on the data users as it has been done in the survey.

Enrico says that if a transition plan has to be produced, cannot be produced by the workshop. It should be suggested by the team.

Kai. It is important to have a way for NWP Centers to fix the problems

Ioannis. Transition periods are 2: users and producers. For users, there is nothing to do as NWP Centers have a responsibility to adapt. Regarding the producers, they have questions on how to implement WSI. In this area there is guidance, but it is not complete. During the workshop, further guidance needs to be provided.

The team discussed the type of guidance that needs to be provided and the type of transition that needs to be considered. The transition ideas can be coming during the workshop through the presentations of other Countries.

Decisions

The team needs to further consolidate.
