"Heralded as ‘a stage further in the opening of postal services to competition’, the Council wants the European Parliament to approve a directive which constitutes another step towards doing away with the public postal service. The policy of the national governments and the European institutions is a reactionary policy that is harmful both to users and to workers of this sector, which is faced with further job losses. We reject the Council’s draft text, which serves the interests of private companies that will share between themselves the profitable sectors of the postal services and leave the public sector with the scraps that are incapable of properly fulfilling social needs. We also reject the compromise amendments that are designed to mask the hypocrisy and our capitulation before private interests. We would like to reiterate that postal services must remain a public service, to which everyone has access under the same conditions, whatever their location and whatever their social situation. We are against a two-tiered postal system, we are against private profit gained from users and we call for a stop to opening up the postal service to private providers."@en1
