Analysis of the past and the future of ENGSO 

At the first reference group meeting in Paris, at which both the ExCom, the EDG and of course the reference group was present; an analysis of ENGSO’s role, aims, policies and strategies was made. The tool used for this process was the SWOT-analysis, looking at ENGSOs Strengths and Weaknesses, and at Opportunities and Threats.
