  • 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.

  • European Banks: IFRS 9 Impact on Bankfocus Research 17 June 2019 Bank Financials Is Manageable Irakli Pipia Xian (Peter) Li
    European banks: IFRS 9 impact on BankFocus Research 17 June 2019 bank financials is manageable Irakli Pipia Xian (Peter) Li Leading European banks1 absorbed anticipated negative impact from the adoption of IFRS 9 without significant impact on their financials. In fact, asset quality and total provisioning coverage ratios improved across the board, despite contrary expectations. The negative impact from the adoption of IFRS 9 on regulatory CET 1 capital was most prominent for Spanish and Italian banks, but manageable for other European entities. • European banks adopted IFRS 9 accounting standards on 1 Impaired loans / Gross customer January 2018 which requires earlier recognition of credit loans & advances, YE 2018 vs losses compared to the existing IAS 39 accounting standards. YE 2017 (%) • Impaired loan (Stage 3) ratios improved under IFRS 9 compared to the same category as per IAS 39 standards for Company Name 2018 2017 Change almost all surveyed European banks (see exhibit). UniCredit 8.1 11.1 -3.0 Bankia 6.3 8.8 -2.5 • Consequently, the total provisioning coverage of impaired Caixa 4.8 6.2 -1.4 loans improved, while specific provisioning (Stage 3 Expected Sabadell 4.4 5.4 -1.0 Credit Losses vs Stage 3 loans) at 45% remains adequate as KBC 4.4 6.3 -1.9 at end-2018. BNP 4.3 5.0 -0.7 • Contrary to the original expectations, Loan loss reserves as BBVA 4.2 5.0 -0.8 percentage of Gross loans declined under IFRS 9, with the Intesa Sanpaolo 4.2 12.9 -8.7 accounting impact absorbed by banks’ regulatory capital.
