The EC has published a major new study on the Pricing of Public Sector Information. PRIMET contributed significantly to this work and our publications are well referenced within it. The clear conclusion is that a move to a marginal cost pricing regime for meteorological data would result in strong economic growth in the sector and, more surprisingly, would benefit the Met Services both economically and in terms of the quality and robustness of their data.
