Market opening in Europe: have your say

9 January 2006

Britain may be ahead of most of Europe in introducing competition into postal services, but there is a danger that we are slipping behind our European counterparts in influencing the European postal services agenda, Postcomm says.

Last November the European Commission (EC) launched its consultation on the universal service and full market opening. The results of the survey will feed into the next Postal Services Directive on market opening in Europe.

The consultation is due to end on 27 January 2006. This is an unrivalled opportunity for British interested parties to have their say and influence what happens next in Europe.  Details are available at: http://europe.eu.int/comm/internal_market/post/index_en.htm
