EU May Slow Liberalization of Postal Services
The European Union Commission is reexamining public service regulations that could water down efforts to open up to competition areas such as energy, postal and train services, the Financial Times reports. France is behind the push to slow liberalization, the paper says. But Germany and the U.K. want to push ahead. ‘Any move to exempt large parts of Europe’s service sector from normal competition and internal market rules would make a mockery of our efforts to build a single market,’ a senior Commission official told the paper.
