lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I would like to associate my comments with the latter part of Mr Kamall’s statement because I truly believe that liberalisation in the postal services market is the way forward for innovation and consumer choice. I have a significant problem, though, with the definition of universal services and how that is applied to rural services. Earlier this week, in my own constituency in the UK, there was an announcement that seven post offices would close. This was after a massive consultation. Some of these post offices were profitable. The consultation reports stated that nearly 100% of people were in favour of keeping these post offices open. However, because of a definition of what service was required by government, the consultation turned into a sham, everybody was ignored. Rural services will be decimated in places like Staverton, Hellidon, Brington and Harlestone, and Milton Malsor in my constituency. So I am very concerned about the implementation of this directive within Member States."@en1
