The importance of meteorology to agriculture, internationally, was probably recognized at least as early as 1735 when the Directors of European meteorological services first met to discuss meteorology on an international scale. The first reference to co-operation between meteorology and agriculture as in correspondence between the International Meteorological Organization (IMO) and certain national institutes of agriculture and forestry, seeking an exchange of meteorological information and data. A formal Commission for Agricultural Meteorology of IMO was appointed in 1913 but a meeting was delayed by the First World War. The Commission was re-constituted in 1919 and held its first meeting at Utrecht, The Netherlands, in 1923. Subsequently it held six additional meetings; the seventh and last being at Toronto in Canada 1947. Policies and programmes of this last meeting of the IMO/CAgM became the foundation of the new CAgM under WMO.  3, record 1, English, - Commission%20for%20Agricultural%20Meteorology

L'organe suprême de l'OMM [Organisation météorologique mondiale] est le Congrès Météorologique Mondial composé de délégués représentant les États Membres, qui se réunit tous les quatre ans au siège de l'Organisation à Genève. Le Congrès vote le budget et élit un Président et un Conseil Exécutif qui traitent les problèmes administratifs et techniques en application des résolutions du Congrès. Les aspects techniques font, au préalable, l'objet d'examens au sein de sept commissions techniques (dont une Commission de Météorologie Agricole) qui émettent des recommandations que le Conseil exécutif doit entériner avant de les soumettre au Congrès.  3, record 1, French, - Commission%20de%20m%C3%A9t%C3%A9orologie%20agricole
