USA vs UPU – the inside story (continued…)
Pierre Morin, International Relations at Canada Post, is back to fill us in on what has been happening at the UPU:
-
Net importers vs net exporters
-
A detailed discussion of the three options that have been proposed:
-
Accelerating minor increases previously agreed (including modelling of how this would affect Canada Post)
-
Self-declared rates (the only option that currently seems acceptable to the USA), including protections against price gouging
-
The compromise option with a transition period before introducing self-declared rates, including price caps
-
-
The postal ballot process, including the involvement of “sanctioned countries”
-
Likely process for the Congress to be held in September – if indeed it goes ahead
-
The chance for compromise at the Congress
-
Public statements made by other nations
-
Funding changes if the USA withdraws from the UPU
