".
Mr President, the liberalisation of postal services is a piece of the puzzle of the general liberalisation of services and the privatisation of public utility companies and harms all the workers.
The social need for reliable, modern postal services is becoming the subject of exploitation in order to secure greater profits for big business.
On the pretext of the new operational programmes, redundancies and changes to postal workers' contracts of employment are taking on mass proportions.
On the pretext, again, of changing communication conduct, the report paves the way for the definition of the universal service to be re-examined. It endeavours to abolish the obligation which this service provider has to provide ready access to the postal network to all users at adequate fixed collection and distribution access points which cover national and cross-border services.
These amendments, as part of the liberalisation of postal services and the completion of the internal market in postal services in 2009, as referred to in the report, objectively give private post offices the facility to wrest the lion's share of the postal market from public post offices, with painful consequences for users and workers in general. That is why we are opposed to and voted against the report."@en1
