"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Ferber, for the report and for including amendments from our Group as well, and the Greens/European Free Alliance will be supporting the report tomorrow.
It is essential, of course, as other colleagues have said, to keep the universal service obligation to deliver and collect five times a week as a minimum. It is important too to allow enough flexibility for Member States to meet their own domestic needs, as well as ensuring that this service is sustainable.
Post is one of the most valued public services, and has changed and developed a great deal in recent years as we have become more digital. I know from my own constituency in Wales how vital it is to ensure that there is no discrimination against people who live in rural or mountainous areas compared with people living in cities and towns. There has to be an equal service.
The report highlights the importance of decent working conditions and wages for all postal workers, for more checks on rest times, improving driver and road safety. It also includes protection for consumers, and the need for easy recourse, particularly in the case of cross-border services and it aims at ensuring affordability and access for all, which must be a basic principle for all of our services."@en1
