PRIMET has initiated a collection of incident reports and related documents on restrictive and unfair data distribution practices applied by National Meteorological Services belonging to the ECOMET grouping, with the focus on the availability and delivery of basic observational and model data produced by means of governmental funding. More documentation of this kind is solicited from all over Europe in order to get a representative picture of the overall situation.
