Since then, Members of PostEurop from the EU28 countries as well as from Norway and Iceland have been involved in an industry initiative responding to the needs raised on cross-border delivery in the context of e-commerce.  At a briefing organised by Commissioner Barnier yesterday, the CEOs had the opportunity to update the Commissioner and the Commission services in an open dialogue of the significant progress made to date.

Postal CEOs also had the opportunity to thank the Commissioner and his team for the co-operation during the last five years, as they have helped transform the industry.  There is strong consensus that there is still more to be done in the areas of both mail and parcels delivery, also in terms of the flexibility of the regulatory framework, in order to ensure that the industry remains sustainable for the future. The dialogue between the Commission and the Industry will continue to address these aspects.
