Summary	IOC Group II countries met together to discuss operational oceanography programmes within the countries, and possible collaborations. Presentations and reports from the countries indicated a wide variety of observing systems, designed and run for the individualized needs of each country. Countries shared experiences and recognized common issues of maintaining sustained support for operational marine observing systems. Some Group II countries bound the Black Sea and others the Baltic Sea. Within each region the countries recognize that sharing observation systems, data and product development would increase the benefit of each country’s individual observation efforts.
