At its four annual meetings, it adopts and monitors the implementation of an annual programme focusing on six types of activities:

- listening to eminent personalities and experts on European issues relating to local public enterprises

- participation in the drafting of CEEP opinions and position papers, ensuring that optimal account is taken of the local dimension (PPP, concessions, in-house, services directive, SGI, social SGI, State aids, etc.)

- drafting of documents and studies concerning local public enterprises (“Serving the public”, “Les EPL dans l’UE des 25”, etc.)

- organisation every year of the European Conference of local public enterprises, a special forum for discussions with the European institutions (Commission, Parliament, Committee of the Regions, etc), and between local public enterprises all over the EU.

- organisation of “trade” working groups (tourism, funeral services, housing and urban development), and of theme-based working groups (PPP, Structural Funds, etc.)

- concertation with European associations of local elected representatives (CCRE, Eurocités, CRPM, NEELS).
