Communications Assistant Commissioner Petros Galides, in his capacity as Chairman of the European Regulators' Group for Postal Services (ERGP) for 2023, was a speaker at the "9th Annual Copenhagen Economics Postal and Delivery Conference 2023" held in Copenhagen on 8 May 2023.
Galides outlined the direction and priorities of the ERGP for 2023 and stressed that the future Postal Regulatory Framework must adapt to the development of a competitive market, new players and business models, and new user needs. In addition, it must continue to protect users who rely on postal services to communicate and send/receive goods. The regulatory framework must also continue to protect healthy competition, society, workers and the environment. Finally, it must adopt clear and more harmonised rules to protect consumers and recognise that the orientation of postal service provision is shifting from the sender to the recipient, so that constant and increased attention is needed to safeguard the needs and interests of consumers.
The conference was attended by, among others, regulators, postal operators, e-commerce companies and business associations. Issues related to important market developments and their impact on the competitive and regulatory landscape in the postal services sector, lessons from adjacent sectors and from postal markets across Europe, cross-border delivery and the role of the Universal Postal Union - UPU were examined and discussed.
