Posted by | Dec 15, 2003 | |

The Free and Fair Post Initiative (FFPI) today released its third EU stamp price survey. The study, which this year also covers the ten new EU Member States, confirms the trend towards price increases and highlights the remarkable gaps that exist among current Member States and between them and the accession countries. The FFPI’s research shows that the wide price differences registered in 2002 have not been reduced and that tariffs have in most States registered further raises. In 11 out of 15 current EU Member States stamp prices have been increased in the past year. In addition, requests for price
reviews have been filed by postal operators in some countries where decisions are still pending and will likely be taken in 2004.
