Companies call BPG 'Early Post' monopoly abuse
Companies call BPG ‘Early Post’ monopoly abuse (Bedrijven noemen ‘Early Post’ van BPG monopoliemisbruik)
De Financieel Ekonomische Tijd – Belgium; Oct 23, 2001
The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce is critical of a new service presented by Belgian Post Group (BPG). A BPG press release of 5 October states that the group will offer a new fast morning service tailored to the requirements of companies and the professions. This service guarantees that mail is delivered before 9 a.m. from 1 November onwards.
The Antwerp Chamber of Commerce observes that the state-owned postal company was due for a makeover and had to evolve into a modern company gradually. However, its government monopoly is abused to develop schemes which customers have to pay for, while this service should be free. The additional service is meant to counteract the increasing competition of private companies.
