1. French "Ministère des Affaires Etrangères" support (MAE)
Money for 1999 support is now available and all of the stays have been planned : first ones have already begun, last ones will end in June.
The requests for 2000 support have been sent to the Ministery.
More details can be asked to Arlette Rigaud (arlette.rigaud++at++meteo.fr ).
2. Bilateral supporting grants
Balaton, Barrande, Proteus are bilateral programs who can support short visits in both sides. The countries involved in these programs can easily be guessed considering the programs names. The French fundings are used to pay the per-diem (in France) of the visitors and to pay the travel of French people to your NMS, and vice-versa.
The reports of 1999 actions and the 2000 renewal demands have already been sent for these programmes (depending of the deadline for each of them). The request for new demands (2001) should be prepared in spring.
The Balaton and Barrande demands have been accepted and the exchanges realized on these supports partly planned.
More details can be asked to Dominique Giard (dominique.giard++at++meteo.fr ).
3. Météo-France support for maintenance
The amount of Météo-France support for 2000 will be similar to the 1999 one. It will be dedicated to phasing and cleaning : one phasing will take place from mid-March to end of April, mainly for OBD; another phasing will be organized this automn after EWGLAM meeting.
