What is the Gas Coordination Group and why is it important?
The Gas Coordination Group was set up by the 2004 Gas Security Directive. It is a forum for member states, the gas industry and gas customers, including European federations, to exchange information and debate policy developments. It proved to be a very useful body during the January 2009 gas crisis, as it was the only venue where member state officials, the gas industry and other market stakeholders could meet and find out exactly what was happening. It was also useful for discussing the options for finding a solution to the crisis.
