New China postal legislation to strike at express sector

Posted by | Sep 28, 2006 | |

The Chinese express industry is facing the same sort of crisis which could strike that of India’s – new regulations designed to protect the national Post Office. The latest legislation being proposed by the Chinese authorities could extend the monopoly of the state owned mail operator China Post to include all domestic deliveries of private letters.

According to the European Express Association (which represents the major express carriers) these moves are a violation of the horizontal rollback provision in China’s WTO commitments.

The industry has suggested a system similar to that in the EU with an initial weight and price definition, along with subsequent reductions in those numbers. Although Chinese officials have said that international express would not be subject to the monopoly because of a special provision, the foreign industry opposes any differentiation in the rules for international and national express operators.
