Suggested corresponding text: Next few slides are about establishing Sub-Regional Adriatic Marine Meteorological Centre. The idea of Adriatic Marine meteorological Center started as part of WMO informal conference of Meteorological services of South East European countries, Dubrovnik 2006. Idea was informal, but it fits plans of new WMO Information system, as one of the center of excellence, as WMO information Distribution and Production Center (WIS-DCPC).The establishment of Adriatic marine meteorological center is connected to the need of better cooperation and collaboration at national and sub-regional level with different stakeholders (national service providers, research institutions, regulators, etc);

*SOLAS - International Convention for the Safety of Life at SeaMETAREA GMDSS - Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (based on SOLAS) an integrated communications system using satellite and terrestrial radiocommunications both meteorological and navigational information

For broadcast purposes, the world's oceans are divided into 16 areas of responsibility, called either Metareas (for meteorological information) or Navareas(for navigational warnings). each the responsibility of a National Meteorological Service (NMS), named Issuing Service. Other NMS may provide some information, as Preparation Services.

Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia has also implemented WEB portal www.ammc.hr which looks like this, but is still in the test phase.

**Suggested corresponding text:

Plans for the future involve further development of the web portal and writing the basic documents on marine centre activities, as well as meetings of the expert teams who should identify gaps of marine related - observations, -services and -systems and develop links with other European projects on meteorology , hydrology, oceanographyand ecology as well as all interested potential partner institutions in the Adriatic region. We shall also share our experiences and know-how with all interested entities, e.g. WMO and Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia are going to present our activities to the Persian Gulf countries next month.

Comments on Doha, Qatar kick-off meeting 2013:- The Pilot Project AMMC has been already set as example for other sub- regions- Meteorological and Hydrological Service of Croatia and WMO are co-organizers of meeting- example of the transfer of the knowledge - Qatar as possible partner at LMG terminal and increase of traffic at Adriatic sea trade route

Comments of the Plans of actions: Detail plan of action for 2013-2014 exists. The document is available at www.ammc.hr info pagesMany AMMC tasks and Expert Team tasks are related to the steps toward full implementation at WISMeta-data standards on products descriptions will be implementedOriginal documents are full of terms and aberrations related to WMO
