    Engaging Member Countries Involved in the Global Inventory

    Introduction December 2009 Dear Journalist, The following press kit is designed to help you better understand the global postal sector, its major players and its environmental activities. The sector is a major industry, employing more than 5 million people and operating thousands of buildings and vehicles around the world. The UPU has recently announced the results of its first global inventory of greenhouse gas emissions produced by postal vehicles and buildings and is committed to helping the postal sector become greener. The inventory is a major step forward. Details are available in the press release included in this guide. The guide is broken down in several sections: • Introduction • Overview • UPU press release on global inventory • Questions and answers • Milestones • Best practices • Raising awareness through philately • Turning a shade of green, cover story from the December 2009 issue of Union Postale, the UPU’s flagship magazine • Media contacts • Where to find photos about the postal sector We hope this guide is helpful as you cover worldwide initiatives to curb the impact of climate change and the negotiations during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen. If you have any questions regarding the global postal sector, please don’t hesitate to contact me or, for information about the European postal sector, my colleague Cynthia Wee at PostEurop. We are both listed in “Contacts” at the end of this guide. Regards, Rhéal LeBlanc Communications Programme Manager Overview The global postal sector The global postal network is the world’s largest physical distribution network. Every day, Posts deliver billions of pieces of mail processed in thousands of post offices using as many vehicles, motorcycles, airplanes, boats and trains.
  • Cwu Submission to Ofcom: Royal Mail Access Pricing Review

    Cwu Submission to Ofcom: Royal Mail Access Pricing Review

    24 February 2015 CWU SUBMISSION TO OFCOM: ROYAL MAIL ACCESS PRICING REVIEW Introduction 1. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) is the largest trade union in the communications sector, representing over 200,000 workers in the postal, telecommunications and financial services industries. We are the recognised trade union for around 140,000 non-managerial staff at Royal Mail and are therefore an important stakeholder in the postal sector, speaking on behalf of our members both as workers within the industry and as users of postal services. We welcome this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Royal Mail Access Pricing Review and have tailored our response to respond to the consultation questions most relevant to our membership and on which we believe we are best placed to comment. Ofcom’s proposed amendments to zonal access pricing regulation 2. Ofcom is concerned that the existing Universal Service Provider (USP) access condition is not working as it envisioned in 2012 and may not promote efficiency, promote effective competition, and confer significant benefits on the users of postal services. It believes quick regulatory intervention is needed to reduce the risks to end-to-end competitors, such as Whistl, from the current pricing flexibility Royal Mail is afforded on zonal access mail. Ofcom says the current USP access condition allows Royal Mail to distinguish between different types of operator and introduce very significant year-on-year changes in access charges. It is concerned at the uncertainty and disruption this presents to access operators. 3. Royal Mail’s 2013/14 proposed changes to zonal access charges, currently suspended, would change the gradient of the ‘Zonal tilt’1 by introducing reductions in the London and Urban zones where end-to-end entrants are most likely to operate whilst increasing prices in Suburban and Rural Zones in which they are least likely to operate.

The national postal operator in Denmark said the disruption to its communications systems also meant that customers were unable to contact customer service regarding their inability to track their packages. Despite the problems, the company insisted yesterday that it is now back to delivering letters and parcels on time. Post & Parcel: PostNL will be increasing its prices from the beginning of August, with the basic rate for a domestic letter rising 11% to 60c. The Dutch postal service said the rate increases are necessary to counter the impacts of the country’s 8-10% annual decline in mail volumes. Letters going to European destinations will see rates rise to 96c, while letters going to the rest of the world will be charged at EUR 1. Business rates will also increase from 1st August, the company said. The basic rate for franked mail will be EUR 0.52. Despite beginning a “rigorous” series of restructuring effort and cost-saving plans, PostNL said its universal postal service is loss- making as a result of the large volume declines, while it continues to meet its obligation to guarantee mail delivery within 24 hours and maintain networks of 2,000 post offices and 15,000 mailboxes.

Boehner told President Barack Obama last week that he will not allow a vote in the House, according to a White House official. [EdNote: In this environment, can postal reform have even a hair's breadth of a chance?] Financial: A new draft law on postal service that has established the Georgian Post monopoly is not meeting either EU regulations or general conditions of a competitive business environment, said Malkhaz Papelashvili, General Manager at Georgian Express, official representative of DHL Georgia. The company sees huge opportunity in expanding its business in complex logistic and domestic transportation during 2014. Georgia’s express industry showed only 3-4% growth during 2013. The United States Postal Service is planning to resume the rationalization of our network of mail processing facilities which began in 2012. To provide adequate time for planning and preparation, the Postal Service is providing this six-month advance notice of consolidations, for up to 82 facilities, which will begin early January 2015 and be completed by the fall mailing season. The Postal Service will provide detailed information about its network rationalization planning in the coming weeks.
