ARCEP and French Postal Operators Form Association

All postal service operators on the French market and holders of licences from France’s telecommunications and postal regulator Arcep formed a postal operators’ association, Syndicat des operateurs postaux (SOP), on December 1. This comes in reaction to deregulation plans by the EU authorities. Members of the new association include the French postal service provider La Poste, DHL-Global Mail France (a subsidiary of the German group Deutsche Telekom), Swiss Post International France (the French subsidiary of the Swiss postal service) as well as Adrexo, Althus, IMX Spring and Stamper’s.
