"Mr President, this is an important time for the development of postal and delivery services across Europe. Our EU laws in this sector have been under review, and we shortly expect a proposed measure on parcel deliveries from the European Commission. In fact, EU rules protect the right of households and businesses to reliable and affordable letter and parcel services. Contrary to what we are told by Eurosceptics, these rules do not require privatisation of our postal sector, and let us not forget how significant our mail is for jobs and also in terms of new technology and internet-based economic activity. Physical products we buy online still need to get to us in real life.
Around 1.5 million jobs in the EU are provided by postal and delivery services. We want the sector to thrive through long-term investment and the creation of quality and sustainable jobs, not through increasingly precarious employment arrangements. I and many Members of the European Parliament – more than 50 – also support the Keep Me Posted campaign to ensure that people can make proper decisions about how they receive key information affecting their lives. Please join us in supporting this campaign."@en1
