5. Present organisation5.2 National Contact Points

A network of National Contact Points is being imagined to support E2B.

They are light organisations devoted to E2B for one Member State:

1/ to provide up-to-date national data (market, buildings, statistics...),

regulations, laws, plans, roadmaps.....

2/ to build up the network of contacts and relations between E2B and

potential members of E2B Association

3/ to disseminate the information concerning E2B vision, progress,

events...

NCP are ideally built around a team of 2:

One "A" type member and One "B" type

Today E2B Is supported by 3 DGs of the European Commission

Is recognised as dealing with a major topic

Starts to be known from Parliament Members

Is in a strong process of structuration

Communicates intensively

Improves its definition

Is forced to follow the schedule of political EU events

Still needs additional support from industry

Still needs to expand in many Member States
