The European Commission has welcomed the political agreement reached at the EU's Council of Telecommunications Ministers in Luxembourg on 15 October 2001 to further liberalise the Internal Market for postal services. Under the agreement, that will now be submitted to the European Parliament for its second reading, Member States would have to open up a substantial additional market share to competition from 2003 and a further share of the market from 2006. The Commission would make a proposal in 2007 confirming accomplishment of the Internal Market in postal services from 2009 unless there were adverse effects on the provision of universal service. |
