Postal Services Directive

The EU Postal Services Directive was approved on January 31st 2008. The purpose of the Directive is to open the postal services of countries that stayed in the postal monopoly to competition.

Finland's postal services have been opened to competition already in 1994. Post office licenses can be granted to applicants. To safeguard the basic services of the country, the universal service obligation under the directive has been addressed to the Post.
