Polish Post office fined

European sources have reported that “the Polish post office (Poczta Polska) has been ordered by the anti-monopoly watchdog to pay a ZL50,000 fine in relation to excessive additional charges paid for particular elements of its corporate parcel services. The ruling relates to PP’s practice of allowing companies to send parcels and letters on “credit” instead of with actual stamps – settling accounts usually on a monthly basis. By charging up to 20 percent of the original price for each package/letter, PP, says the antimonopoly office, was abusing its dominant position on the Polish market”
