 The workshop is followed on 20-21 September by the next ordinary meeting of the EFIS/MG where the results of the workshop will be further discussed and a summary be provided to the next WGFM meeting in October 2017.

The workshop has addressed the following items and the agenda consisted of several parts:

1) Guidance to the CEPT administrations about their possibilities when providing information to the EFIS.

2) Guidance to the interested public using the EFIS, and especially how to best find certain information.

3) An exchange of views amongst all participants of what would be useful to add in EFIS / suggestions for improvement.

Speakers were from the European Commission, ECO, national regulatory authorities, ADCO RED, RED CA, and a presentation about new planned possibilities using an application programming interface. The workshop gave an unique possibility to learn how to use the EFIS in the best way, save time, and ask questions.
