In September 2012, ANRCETI hosted the inaugural IV reunion of the regulators, organized jointly with the EC, during which a Memorandum of Understanding was signed. The new organization has the important mission to ensure exchange of experience, on regular basis, between EU and EaP regulators in terms of harmonization of the national legal framework to the EU acquis and best practices.
