Today, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal inviting third parties to submit their comments on the so-called Agreement for the Remuneration of Mandatory Deliveries of Cross-Border Mails (REIMS II). REIMS II is an agreement on the remuneration that public postal operators (PPOs)° pay each other for the delivery of incoming cross-border mail. This remuneration is also referred to as “terminal dues”. Seventeen PPOs from the European Union and the EEA are parties to the REIMS II agreement. After receiving the comments of interested third parties to be submitted one month after publication of the OJ the Commission will take a final decision on whether the system of terminal dues can be exempted from the antitrust rules. The Commission will also decide on the length of the exemption to be granted.
