2025 ERRA SURVEY - Decision-Makers' version

Thank you for your interest in submitting answers to the ERRA 2025 survey.

The exercise stems from the 2025-2030 ERRA Strategy which suggests collecting feedback and information from ERRA members in order to identify priority regulatory topics across ERRA regions, challenges in implementing regulatory policy and content relevance and prioritization - this way making sure that the programs offered by ERRA represent value and benefit to the member base.

The 2025 survey is divided into 5 versions - you have now accessed the Decision Makers' version, which is specifically designed for ERRA executives only. It is strongly recommended that this version is filled out on decision-making level e.g., chairman, president or commissioners.

Please read the questions carefully and provide the answers. The estimated time for the completion of the survey is 20 minutes. Please dedicate uninterrupted time, so that the answers could be consistent.
