Task Forces

Task Forces are designed for corporate members and senior officials from the EU institutions, member states and the associated countries. Each group, which meets usually four times a year, tackles a particular industrial, financial or regulatory issue. The product at the end of the process is a Task Force Report, which is published by CEPS and sent to the relevant policy makers in the Commission, Council and Parliament. These reports have proved to be very influential. For group members the process is as important as the final product.
