  ## Activities
  
  EFAMRO has three primary roles:
  
  * To adjudicate on cross-border complaints made against market research organizations through a self-regulatory framework
  * To provide a common voice for national bodies when lobbying at a European or international level
  * To develop and enhance international quality standards for market research (most notably the ISO 20252 quality standard which EFAMRO initiated)
  
  EFAMRO co-ordinates these activities with other research bodies globally through its participation in the Global Research Business Network (GRBN), a joint initiative with the Asia Pacific Research Committee (APRC) and the Americas Research Industry Alliance (ARIA).
  
  ## Leadership
  
  EFAMRO is led by an Executive Board overseen by Jan Oostveen (Director General) and Andrew Cannon (President).
