Training & Workshops
NRL workshops
To facilitate the exchange of information between the EURL GMFF and the NRLs operating under Regulation (EU) 2017/625 annual NRL workshops are organised. These workshops aim to provide updates on the control tasks of the NRLs, signal emergency issues, present updates on the legal framework and discuss the results of the proficiency testing rounds of the preceding year.
