Polish Post announces its strategy
The new head of Poczta Polska (PP), Zbigniew Niezgoda is not going to conduct a revolution as he finds the course being taken by PP to be correct. Comparing the present situation to that of 1998 he feels that nowadays there are more obstacles. Among the difficulties he points to are the highly competitive market and the new legislation concerning the postal services sector which imposes strict rules. Poland must now comply with the EU regulations requiring PP, as a state-owned enterprise, to undergo serious changes. In addition, after the liberalisation of the market for packages up to 50 grams which comes into force on 1 January the rivals will not remain indifferent. There are statistics showing PP is losing some of its market share. Thus it will have to monitor carefully the market in order to find out how well its rivals are prepared. Furthermore PP plans to introduce new a structure in finance management and new computer systems.
