Postal Services Liberalization - Condition for Eliminating a Reserved Field Necessary for Financing the Universal Service

Although post is part of our daily life, many of us assimilating it with the image of the postman or with a stamped letter, we are few in the position of having been given the opportunity to go beyond the counters installed in posts, for a better knowledge of the complexity of this activity. The importance of post is given by the universal service that has been acknowledged and accepted by the entire world. Its preservation has to be followed by the increase of services quality that can be achieved only through a liberalization of postal services. It is necessary to liberalize the world postal services because not all the states provide the universal service in the same way. Posts improve the quality of traditional services on the market, implement and diversify new products and services of the type of the “new economy”. Postal services liberalization supposes on one hand, the improvement of services quality, modernization, costs decrease and structure alteration, and on the other hand, it supposes a legislation that would allow responsibilities separation between governments, postal operators and regulation authorities.
