The idea of NEPIM partnership originates in an awareness on the regional level and particulary among consumer organizations and regional authorities of the need to put together and exchange experiences and good practices by dividing ressources, human and/or fi nancial, economies of scale for common research, publications and information campaigns. The role of consumer organizations is emphasized and their active participation is crucial.
Network co-operation makes it possible for all members to exchange experiences and to take advantage from those of the others, to take up new topics, new trade practices, to gaher more resources and to create a competitive spirit to approach new areas, studies and surveys.
Sustainable development, energy, transport, trade, tourism, health and environment become major fevers of regional development thanks to well-informed consumer behaviour.
