". – Mr President, for the sake of clarity, I would like to repeat that we do not intend to present a proposal on this subject in our work programme for 2003. However, the whole debate will continue within the context of the launching of the Green Paper.
I would also like to clarify that this initiative was launched against the backdrop of competition concerns regarding the postal sector brought to light in recent European case law and by the Commission. From the outset, this initiative was conceived as a means of enforcing competition law and not as a legislative measure. We are fully aware of the limits of the power of the Commission and of the European Union in what we can decide in this case.
More generally, the Commission considered on the one hand that the situation in the postal market could engender various forms of abusive behaviour by public postal operators. On the other hand, it considered it would be worth exploring whether extending the transparency requirements in question to all incumbents might adequately assuage these concerns.
The debate will definitely continue. I will of course also make sure that my colleague, Mario Monti, is informed of all your best arguments, and we will have an opportunity to come back to this discussion."@en1
