Summary High statistics experimental results on rare and dominant decay modes of pseudoscalar and vector mesons are obtained with CLAS at JLAB. In some channels CLAS data are exceeding the world statistics Dalitz decay of etaprime is observed for the first time -Combining data from different world facilities will help to provide high quality and high statistics data -We believe that common efforts of European and US groups related to meson decays will be extremely useful Thanks for the opportunity to give a seminar in University of Bochum !
