"I cannot accept this total deregulation or the abolition of the Member States’ ‘reserved area’ for postal missions.
This across-the-board opening up to competition harms the single piece tariff, equality of treatment for the regions and the presence of postal services in disadvantaged sectors. Even in the United States, competition is not obligatory for standard mail – weighing less than 50 g – and it is distributed by a federal agency.
Clearly, the methods of funding compensation for the universal service, reduced as it is to a minimum, will in no way safeguard the public service, and extending the deadline for the implementation of this liberalisation does not really solve a thing.
The Council of European Ministers has just decided to create a ‘protocol on public services in support of the Treaty’.
It would be quite normal to suspend any new opening up to competition of these services."@en1
