Summary

In this talk we will summarize recent measurements of exclusive meson production performed by the COMPASS Collaboration. In particular, recent results on the transverse target spin asymmetry $A_{\scriptscriptstyle{UT}}^{\scriptscriptstyle{\sin(\phi-\phi_s)}}\ $ for exclusive $\rho^0$ production will be presented. This asymmetry is sensitive to the 'elusive' GPD $E$, which is related to the orbital angular momentum of quarks. Also, planned measurements of exclusive meson production, which are a part of the approved COMPASS-II proposal, will be discussed.
