Measure 4: information priorities 2020 responsibility Goals § TG European Commission: Strategic data sets with transnational significance ExCom have been identified; 2 area-wide data sets are available by 2020; EGS defines a KPI: the accesses to the EU datasets are measured. At least 100 accesses per Support day. Unterstützug support § TG NGS: A white paper on decarbonisation has been published until mid 2020; a Task Force comprehensive database with the expertise in the GSOs has been published Expert groups members until the end of 2020; KPI for access to EU datasets at least 100 per day description and deliverables status Content: § 2 area-wide data sets § white paper on decarbonisation § comprehensive database with the expertise in the GSOs general conditions and risks resource planning StatusStatus § Internal § Attractiveness for EU parliamentarians must first be awakened § The fight for attention is huge § Short term issue – Quick win

2. Action plan M1 GOALS M1 § Get an overview of all EGS relevant issues in the ongoing EU- level policy debate. § Identification of issues to which EGS can make a relevant contribution in shaping opinion. § Increase knowledge and influence in the debate. § Identify points of interaction/time of a possible intervention. HOW WE GET THERE § Check existing solutions for practical viability § Exchange of experience among members § Clearly define scope and target groups § Specification of requirements § Define publication, periodicity, reporting

Action plan M2 GOALS M2 § EGS identifies all relevant stakeholders of the target groups 1 to 3 § EGS prioritises stakeholders who can assume an ambassadorial or multiplier role in EGS-relevant issues. § EGS establishes initial contacts with the relevant stakeholders of target groups 1 to 3. HOW WE GET THERE § Collect existing know-how and Desktop research § Close cooperation with National Delegates § Check existing solutions for practical viability § Organize support from policy specialists with knowledge of the EU Commissions § Develop concept for initial contacts with stakeholders
