The Common Business Practices
Common Business Practices (CBPs) are standards, procedures and/or protocols commonly used in the gas industry in Europe and recommended by EASEE-gas for adoption by all relevant industry players to simplify and streamline business processes across the whole of Europe .
Once CBPs are developed in the groups they are presented to the Executive Committee (ExCom) to consider.
If they are agreed, the CBPs are issued to the membership for final comments.
The final CBPs are then presented to the ExCom for approval and, if necessary, to a General Meeting of Members for ratification.
