PostNL will not seek compensation for universal postal service in 2012
Dutch postal company PostNL has informed the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) that it will not file a request for compensation of the net costs it incurred in 2012 for its execution of the universal postal service (UPS). The UPS guarantees that consumers and small businesses are able to send and receive mail six days a week.
PostNL forgoes filing the request because of the plans of Minister of Economic Affairs Henk Kamp to reform the UPS.
