URTiP creates new strategy for Polish postal market liberalisation

URTiP, the Office for Telecom and Postal Regulation, has coined a new strategy which is to make the postal services market in Poland modern and competitive by 2009. The statements included in the new strategy seem to meet the expectations of private operators. The realisation of the strategy has been divided into three stages. One of the main objectives of the strategy is the effective control of the state over the gradual liberalisation and development of the postal services market. The authors of the strategy want to provide customers with access to high quality postal services in accordance with the requirements of Polish and European Union law. URTiP promises to support the Polish Post’s participation in the development of a competitive market. Moreover, the office plans to influence state policy in the postal services domain.
