Why should stakeholders be involved?

The European Commission is dedicated to giving stakeholders the opportunity to provide input to this study, thereby creating a fully transparent and open process. This platform provides the main exchange framework between the study team, the Commission and the stakeholders.

All (draft) documents will be freely available through this website, but if you register as a stakeholder, you will receive notifications on website updates, consultations and meetings. Furthermore, as a stakeholder, you can provide direct feedback to draft reports published on this website (comments made on draft reports from the study team may be made public on this website).

When task reports become available, stakeholder meetings will take place. The meeting dates, venues and how to be invited to the meeting will be announced through this website.

Registration as stakeholder

If you register as a stakeholder, you will receive regular notifications on website updates, new documents, invitations to online consultations, stakeholder meetings and perhaps stakeholder interviews.

Stakeholder Meetings

In the course of the Preparatory Study, two stakeholder meetings will be organised. In addition, notifications will be sent out, e.g. when reports are uploaded to the online platform or when online consultations are held. Stakeholders who are registered on this website will receive an email invitation for the meetings and notifications of other events. Any stakeholder meeting is subject to confirmation of room availability at the European Commission. It is recommendable to only finalise your travel reservations after receiving the final agenda, about 3 weeks prior to the meeting.
