ENTSOG promotes closer cooperation be-
tween Europe’s TSOs in order to ensure the
development of a Europe-wide transmission
system in line with European Union energy
objectives. ENTSOG’s stakeholders know
that its role is not only that of an association
able to represent their Members in Europe,
but is also that of an entity that proposes
solutions. These solutions always take into
account requests and advice received from external stakeholders with the
aim of improving the European gas market.
Indeed, the decisions to be made in ENTSOG
are discussed both in the different Working
Groups and with the stakeholders, who always
have the opportunity to voice their opinions at
special workshops or meetings. The many
meetings held with external stakeholders dem-
onstrate ENTSOG’s balanced role in the gas
market. The openness of those working at
ENTSOG with respect to external opinions not
previously considered is further proof of our
motto ‘a fair partner to all Working in ENTSOG
means being actively part of Europe and feeling
yourself as an actor in the creation of the Inter-
nal Energy Market. Moreover, you have the opportunity to interact and work
with people coming from all European countries, who have different ways of
thinking and cultures, and elements which contribute to opening your mind.
In addition, the work environment is very collaborative and all colleagues
are always available to cooperate. The continuous points of views
exchanged with your colleagues enhance the flexibility of your mind and
enable you to be more dynamic during the decisional process. Moreover,
you can learn the gas market rules of the European countries with the aim
of harmonising them. You feel like you are in the heart of Europe and you
can contribute to its improvement.
For years these pages were dedicated to the foreword of Stephan
Kamphues, the ENTSOG president. Instead of sharing his
thoughts about ENTSOG, our president was interested in the
opinions of our Brussels Team Members. Therefore this space
is devoted to some of our colleagues, seconded from European
Transmission System Operators, who share “first-hand impres-
sions” of their work in different areas of our association.
