PRIMET was originally established in November 1999 under the name "Association of Environmental Data Users in Europe" (AEDUE)
and changed its name to PRIMET in September 2003. The association currently has 36 Corporate Members in 16 European countries.
Additional members supporting in particular unlimited and efficient access to environmental data produced and/or
funded by public agencies are welcomed.
The primary objectives of PRIMET are to support and advise its members as required by them by liasing with and
acting as a pressure group towards international and national entities of relevance, and to follow events and where possible
contribute to developments of potential significance for the commercial weather market. PRIMET can be seen as a private sector
counterpart to the ECOMET. Please contact PRIMET Secretary General Richard Pettifer on e-mail: richard.pettifer@dsl.pipex.com. |
