in general, expert-user oriented. Differences between 
products’ documents (e.g., in the extent) will also be 
further homogenized, 
provide highly synthesized and simple information on 
products’ quality (applying the synthesis approach) 
to be useful for high-level users (policy makers/ 
managers/ beginner users), searching for ways to 
add scientific quality information in a simple way with 
product maturity matrices, 
- reinforce cross-cutting collaborations within the 
Service (promoting discussion forums and task groups 
on specific issues, as well as closer relationships 
between TACs and MFCs), with other Copernicus 
services and with other services and organizations 
(Le., EUMETSAT, NOAA, etc.) in a global framework.

The authors want to acknowledge and thank the invaluable input and enriching exchanges from all PQ working group 
experts that participated through the Copernicus 1 phase.
