The European Commission has welcomed the definitive adoption on 7 May 2002 by the Council of a new Postal Services Directive pushing forward the gradual and controlled implementation of the Internal Market for postal services, combining more competition with maintaining a universal service. Improved postal services and lower prices are among the benefits expected. The new Postal Services Directive requires Member States to open up substantial additional sections of the market to competition from 2003 and 2006, and defines further steps to be taken later towards the completion of the Internal Market for postal services. |
