The European Regulators Group for Postal Services (ERGP) was established on 10 August 2010. The group serves as a body for reflection, discussion and the provision of advice to the European Commission on postal services. It also aims to facilitate consultation, coordination and cooperation between EU countries and the Commission.
The Postal Services Directive requires EU countries to designate one or more independent National Regulatory Authorities (NRA) for the postal sector. The ERGP facilitates consultation, coordination and cooperation between NRAs and the Commission.
The ERGP is composed of 28 NRAs from EU countries. The Commission, the EFTA Surveillance Authority, NRAs from EEA states (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein), Switzerland and 4 EU candidate countries (Turkey, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Serbia and Albania) participate as permanent observers to the group. Other ad-hoc observers may also be invited to the meetings of the group (currently NRAs from Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina).
The eighth ERGP work programme 2018 was adopted by the 13th ERGP plenary on 30 November 2017. It is the second one to be developed in conformity with the ERGP medium term strategy, 2017 - 2019. The tasks planned in the 2018 work programme are consistent with the 3 strategic pillars of the ERGP medium term strategy 2017-2019:
