". The aim of this Commission proposal is to totally open up to competition the EU’s postal services markets by 2009, in accordance with the deadline set in the current Postal Directive. In this context, the European Commission has submitted a text that is aimed at guaranteeing funding for the universal service by putting an end to the ‘reserved area’ and replacing it with new funding tools. I am against the total liberalisation of postal services. Indeed, the post office fulfils a public service mission that we must preserve. That is why I co-tabled and voted for an amendment calling for the reintroduction of the ‘reserved area’ as one of the methods of funding the universal service. Indeed, at the present time, no economic reason justifies the abolition of the ‘reserved area’. This funding method, which works very well at the moment, should be one of the options offered to the Member States. In view of the fact that this option has not been taken up by the plenary of the European Parliament, I voted against the final text in order to indicate my opposition to this unjustifiable liberalisation."@en1
