| - | * NMHSs are climate services operators in the public space that develop products following the guidance provided by WMO, but many do not cover all the spaces that go all the way to the users. In this context, the CEN-CENELEC standardisation addresses all those actors that are not part of the WMO ecosystem. The question then emerges of what are the implications of these new standards for NMHSs and other public operators because the CEN-CENELEC standards will apply to all those present in the European market. Amir mentioned that WMO is not fully aware of these developments pushed by the European Commission. He suggested that it's fundamental to engage representatives from NMHSs and WMO in the process to avoid confusion among user communities with parallel developments for standardisation (from WMO's and CEN-CENELEC' | + | * NMHSs are climate services operators in the public space that develop products following the guidance provided by WMO, but many do not cover all the spaces that go all the way to the users.

| + | * Esteban considered useful to formulate the standards in terms of minimum requirements to assess the resources required to comply. He also mentioned that very interesting developments emerging from research projects struggle to make their way into operations at NMHSs because these institutions lack the human resources and expertise to offer them in a sustained manner. This also has to do with the resource allocation. | ||
| + | * Samuel Morin (Météo-France) explained that there is a struggle to define climate services. He suggested to streamline in future interactions what can be considered a climate service so that the remit is clearer. While he considers data portals an element of a climate service, he expects climate services to be close to the decision-making process. Material from past and current projects could be used to illustrate what is under discussion. | ||
| + | * Amir mentioned the existing WMO guidelines to define competences and skills of those involved in the service provision. He considered standardising human competences particularly relevant. | ||
| * Note: WMO, ECMWF, KNMI, Met Office, and RHMSS are all partners of the Climateurope2 project and are often called in to represent the NMHSs' views. | * Note: WMO, ECMWF, KNMI, Met Office, and RHMSS are all partners of the Climateurope2 project and are often called in to represent the NMHSs' views. | ||
