Q-Post chairman al-Ali with UPU and other delegates at the meeting of the interim working group in Doha yesterday

Members of the quality steering committee of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) expressed confidence that the radio frequency identification project (RFID), aimed at improving the quality of postal delivery, would be successfully implemented in several countries across the world, most probably by early next year.

Experts, associating with the UPU’s initiative, are currently in Doha as part of the global monitoring system’s (GMS) interim working group’s third meeting in the city. The meeting will conclude tomorrow.

As part of the project, meetings are scheduled to be held also in Washington, Rio De Janerio, Lisbon, Botswana, Helsinki, and Japan. Some of the meetings have already been completed.

He said the core group had come out with some effective solutions which he said could be beneficial to all UPU members, in particular those in the developing world.
Jan Sertons (TNT, The Netherlands), Kai Perasalo (Itella, Finland), Antonio Caeiro, (UPU, Portugal) and Sakae Kamibayashi (Japan Post Service) are among the experts attending the meeting.
