Posted by | Dec 8, 2005 | |

The Free and Fair Post Initiative (FFPI) today released its fifth survey
on stamp prices in the European Union (EU). The study, which covers the 25 EU member States, reveals that 20% of EU countries have increased stamp prices in the course of 2005 and that price differences are still wide. The annual comparative analysis of the FFPI points out that prices of stamps for basic domestic letters have increased in 5 member States1 during this year. In addition, the survey reports that the gap in prices between the old and new EU member States is still widening. It is in fact important to notice that costs have risen in 3 countries from the EU-15, therefore further enlarging the difference with the price in the new member States.
