The Latvian state postal company Latvijas Pasts is behind on implementing EU requirements with the company currently having implemented only 40 percent of the requirements listed in a cooperational project signed back in 1998, stated the company’s temporary CEO, Gints Skodovs. Skodovs said that in 1998 Latvijas Pasts signed the Accord 1 agreement, aimed at assisting EU candidate countries with implementing EU requirements and postal directives, improving postal service quality and promoting development of new projects and infrastructure improvements. The stand-in CEO for Latvijas Pasts said that on June 02 the Accord 2 agreement is set to be signed in Switzerland, which should thus state Latvijas Pasts “preparedness for moving towards EU quality standards and readiness to work towards implementing these.”

Latvijas Pasts postal company shareholders general meeting Monday dismissed from the office company director general Aivars Droiskis and two board members over entering in disadvantageous contracts for construction of sorting facility for the postal company. Latvia’s Transport Ministry deputy state secretary Uldis Laksevics, acting as Latvijas Pasts shareholders general meeting, told reporters Monday the sorting complex arrangements “were highly unsuccessful”.
