IPREE/REE Working Group

There are two joint EPO/epi working groups considering changes to the IPREE/REE. A first group is making the changes necessitated by the modernisation of the EQE. A second group is considering a wider range of changes, including diversity & inclusion, registration requirements and issues relating to appeal.

To support and assist the epi members in the EPO/epi Working Groupsepi has set up the IPREE/REE working group under the umbrella of the PEC. In this support group the latest developments are discussed to obtain a wide variety of opinions from around the EQE member states.
