  • Position Paper
    Page 1/5 POSITION PAPER The ECORYS Study on “Development of competition in the European postal sector” 22 March 2006 PostEurop, the Association of 43 Postal Operators, holders of the Universal Service Obligation at national as well as at international level, through its Postal Directive Working Group, has followed with attention the progress and the outcome of the Study performed by ECORYS for the European Commission (DG Markt) titled : “The development of competition in the European postal sector”1. The Study has been made public in mid-August 2005. The European Commission hosted a workshop on 10 October 2005 during which ECORYS described the main results of its study. PostEurop has already taken the opportunity to issue its opinions on the progress of the ECORYS study and refers therefore to its existing Opinion Paper of 15 June 20052. Following the invitation of the European Commission, PostEurop is pleased to have the opportunity to convey the following position observations in order to positively contribute to the further definition of Community postal policy. 1. GENERAL REMARKS At first sight the study provides a fresh view on current developments within the European postal sector as well as its (possible) future. The report’s uniqueness lies in the fact that it combines up-to- date knowledge of postal companies, their processes, the markets they serve, current and potential competitive forces, strategic options and the impact of liberalisation to draw a picture of the possible future of the European postal sector. ECORYS is considering the development of competition on the upstream markets as an indicator of the overall process of liberalisation.

    PUBLIC EXPENDITURE EVALUATION 2018 PROJECT 7 (CORREOS) STUDY REPORT ON THE EVALUATION OF SOCIEDAD ESTATAL CORREOS Y TELÉGRAFOS, AND PROVISION OF THE UNIVERSAL POSTAL SERVICE The Independent Authority for Fiscal Responsibility (AIReF by its Spanish acronym) was created with the mission of ensuring strict compliance with the principles of budgetary stability and financial sustainability set out in article 135 of the Spanish Constitution. AIReF Contact C./ José Abascal, 2, 2.ª planta 28003 Madrid Tel. +34 910 100 599 Email: [email protected] Web: www.airef.es This document may be used and reproduced, in whole or in part, provided its source is acknowledged as AIReF. CONCLUSION OF THE EVALUATION In the context of the Spending Review carried out by AIReF in 2018, the provision of the Universal Postal Service –UPS UPS) by Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos, SA (hereinafter referred to as Correos) has been evaluated. The UPS is the set of postal services subject to public service obligations (PSO) and that must be provided permanently throughout the national territory and at an affordable price for all users. The State has entrusted Correos with the provision of this service for the period from 2011 to 2026. Correos receives compensation for the financial burden borne from providing this service. This study analyses the strategy and procedure for determining the public cost and conditions for the provision of the UPSUPS in the 2011-2020 period. In addition, the efficiency of the designated operator is also studied, as the amount of compensation depends on this. Currently, the service delivery plan implemented by the current Postal Law (2010) is pending approval and the UPS is compensated by instalment payments.

  • Information on Designated Postal Operators and Universal Service in Selected Countries
    441 G St. N.W. Washington, DC 20548 September 26, 2016 Congressional Requesters International Mail: Information on Designated Postal Operators and Universal Service in Selected Countries The United States Postal Service (USPS) exchanged approximately 940 million pieces of mail with more than 190 countries in 2015. This mail exchange generally occurs under agreements negotiated through the Universal Postal Union (UPU), a United Nations agency that facilitates the exchange of international postal service. The UPU’s mission is to “to facilitate communications between the inhabitants of the world by: guaranteeing the free circulation of postal items over a single postal territory composed of interconnected networks.”1 The UPU facilitates this single global postal territory through multilateral agreements, some of which are updated and signed by all member countries every 4 years, wherein member countries promise to deliver mail sent from other member countries and to reimburse each other for the delivery of that mail. 2 The UPU’s member countries agree to create this single postal territory by, among other things, ensuring a right to universal postal service consisting of quality basic postal services over their entire territory at affordable prices.3 Each member country can implement this universal postal service obligation (USO) as it deems appropriate. For example, each country can determine what type and level of postal service, such as letter mail, that it believes meets the universal service obligation.4 Additionally, each country can designate one or more postal operators to provide universal postal service. However, only two UPU member countries have selected more than one designated postal operator.5 1Universal Postal Union, Constitution of the Universal Postal Union, “Preamble”.
