Single European Sky 7 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

Single European Sky 8 MET-services (2) may monopolyAfter certification, Member States may designate MET-providers on an exclusive basis like air traffic service provider (= monopoly situation) marketIf Member States do not designate MET- providers, market conditions apply like for providers of aeronautical information services (AIS) and to communication, navigation and surveillance providers (CNS)
