The preparations for the project began in late spring 2012 when a Coordination Group was established in order to manage and administer the project. The Coordination Group is composed of representatives from the sponsors, supporters and the vendor. MHI introduced the EU-APWR to the EUR-organisation at a start-up seminar in Prague in October and has already provided the main part of the standard design documentation.

During their October 10, 2013 meeting, the Vice Chairmen of the EUR Steering Committee proceeded to the election of the new EUR Chairman: the position was open for applications since the last EUR SC Meeting in May, during which Eric De Fraguier announced he had to leave. Eric de Fraguier has been the chairman of the EUR Steering Committee since October 2011. During his mandate the EUR organisation issued Revision D of the EUR Document and the EUR Roadmap 2013 – 2015.
Guillaume Jacquart, EDF/SEPTEN, was elected as the new EUR Chairman.
G. Jacquart made the following speech:
"Dear colleagues,
I'm happy and proud of the confidence you, members of the Steering Committee, are giving me by appointing as your chairman.
It´s a real honor to enter and chair an organisation of more than 20 years dedicated to unify, harmonize and standardize a European vision for the nuclear production industry. I accept the mission with the responsibilities associated. I'll be committed to keep the Organisation follow its vision and road map and keep the pace which was previously settled by Eric de Fraguier.I would like to thank again my predecessor Eric De Fraguier and you all Members of the SC as well as the members of the AG for the job done up to now. We have a clear road-map traced to 2015, we have strategic objectives. Revision D was released in short period of time and is a reference for some biddings in Europe, vendors are asking for EUR assessment.
As I said in the previous SC, my almost 25 Years career was Dedicated to nuclear stuff, but and three different fields: R&D in the field of structural and fluids mechanics, Nuclear Generation on power plant so I closely know what Nuclear safety means in the field and in the board of an NPP, and at last the Nuclear Engineering field.
I'm convinced that despite the event of Fukushima, nuclear energy has a major role to play In the European energy mix in the coming years. Building Gen 3 designs has now become a reality in the world and in Europe in particular. In Finland and in France, and in a near future in Czech Republic, in Hungary, in the UK, in Sweden, and hopefully in other countries which are willing to develop New Nuclear. The EUR requirements that we have been developing together for more than many years will play a major role in specifying these new projects. As nuclear utilities, our responsibility is huge to challenge the vendors and to challenge ourselves in order to promote the highest quality standards together with the best achievable competitiveness.
I'm convinced that common vision and requirements we as European Utilies Want for our industry are a real strength.
A strength to guaranty safety, environmental Impacts, competitiveness on the whole life cycle of the nuclear facilities. Because Safety, environment and competitiveness are the necessary conditions to make the nuclear option opened.”

The owners of the Swiss NPPs were initially represented in EUR through the nuclear section (UAK) of the association of the Swiss electricity producers (UeWA). Since the UeWA evolved to swisselectric (www.swisselectric.ch) UAK became swissnuclear (www.swissnucear.ch).
