DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/30d223/european_mail_repo) has announced the addition of the "European Mail Report 2010" report to their offering.
European Mail: a market in transformation
The postal market in the EU is very large, occasionally sophisticated, of variable efficiency, theoretically de-regulated yet still dominated by stateowned organisations.
The sector is in a period of dramatic change. A series of European Union directives have been introduced to open up the mail markets across the EU to competition from both private sector companies and competition between state owned mail monopolies.
This trend towards deregulation pre-dates the European-wide initiatives. The UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Denmark have all embarked on changes both to their mail monopolies and to their mail markets. These have varied in nature but all have been vigorous in their encouragement of competition. It is in effect these developments that drove the wider policy subsequently adopted by the EU.
However, not all European nation states have been wholly convinced by the argument for de-regulation. Many have been disturbed by the potential loss of a large state-run organisation which can be of economic importance. Consequently deregulation has happened at varying speeds and with varying levels of effectiveness.
European Mail Report 2010 specifically addresses the privatisation of the UKs Royal Mail within the context of the de-regulation of the European market; the reason behind the decision; potential buyers and the opposition from the unions.
