Reflection Group

The ManagEnergy Reflection Group was convened from 2001-2008 as an informal think-tank, set up by the Commission, as a global thinking group for local actions on energy. Details of the role and objectives of the Reflection Group can be found in the follow-up action from the European Conference on Local and Regional Energy Management Agencies (Nov 2001)  EN FR DE

In summary, the objectives of the Reflection Group were to:

• advise the Commission on Community legislation, local initiatives, partnerships and good practice that can help identify policy priorities of the EU
  
• suggest supplementary areas of action, which can be particularly recommended on the basis of the experiences at local and regional level
  
• disseminate Community policies and project results to actors at the local and regional level

The group was composed of representatives for actors that are active on energy and transport issues at local and regional levels (see below). These organisations included mainly National Associations of Local and Regional Energy Management Agencies and relevant European Networks and Associations. Currently, National Associations of Local and Regional Energy Management Agencies exist in most Member States or they are under development.

• Energy Agency Associations and Representatives from New Member States
• Representatives from the Candidate Countries
• European Networks and Associations
