Expert groups
The ERGP work programme for 2023 was adopted during the ERGP plenary on 25 November 2022.
The work programme is organised based on the 3 strategic pillars of the medium term strategy 2023-2025

- Strategic pillar II – promoting a competitive EU postal single market in the context of rising e-commerce deliveries
- Strategic pillar III – empowering end-users and ensuring a user oriented universal service
According to the medium term strategy, in all activities stemming from strategic pillars I, II and III, ERGP will focus on
- providing proactive and forward-looking support and advice to the European Commission
- refocusing the objectives of the regulatory framework following the greenfield approach
- continue reflecting specificities of the letter mail segment as part of the postal sector
- empowering the end-users ensuring their ability to make an informed choice and benefit from changing business models while being protected in a volatile economic environment
