UNIFE TG/MG: main developments UNIFE Mirror & Topical groups Over the past 2-3 years, UNIFE has developed a network of Mirror and Topical Groups This network now covers largely the technical challenges and issues faced by UNIFE members It allows the Supply industry to speak with one voice: In the WP of the ERA (TSIs, Safety unit) In the different CEN / CENELEC WGs In front of the other actors (Operators, Infrastructure Managers) It improves the understanding of common issues by exchange of best practices, experiences Therefore, an always wider network is necessary and further experts from all UNIFE members are encouraged to participate
