UNI Post & Logistics Norwegian affiliate, Postkom, says it is partly satisfied with the Norwegian government's mail policy after the Norwegian Government announced an indefinite postponement of the 3rd postal directive. Postkom, the Norwegian union of post employees, are satisfied that the implementation of the 3rd postal directive is postponed indefinitely. - "This is an important stage for us who have fought against the directive", said Odd Christian Øverland, President of Postkom. "But we would like to see that the government clearly use the reservation law in its current politics."



The government platform that was presented confirms that the government will postpone the introduction of the postal directive. They also stress the importance of maintaining an fair and affordable postal services throughout the country at an equal unit price and with the current level for the postage which will be maintained.



"This is positive, but we can not see that it is possible to achieve this within the framework of the EU's third directive mail. We are astonished that the government still keeps the possibility open that the directive will be implemented. We will therefore continue the fight against the directive", said Overland.
