In a press release issued yesterday by Postkom, UNI Post & Logistics' affiliate in Norway, it was announced that the Norwegian labour party is now ready to postpone the introduction of the third postal directive. This means that the leading parties, the red-green coalition, all agree on this issue and are ready to use the reservation clause against the introduction of the third postal directive.



“We expect the government to immediately initiate a process to examine the potential use of the reservation clause and its consequences” says Odd Christian Øverland, Postkom’s President.



Postkom had in fact already asked a legal firm to do so. The only consequences of using the reservation clause is that Norway would be suspended from the EU mail policy.

But it would have no consequences for Norway’s business records in Sweden and Denmark.



The follow-up of this process and the use of the reservation clause will now depend on the results of the elections taking place in September and whether the red-green coalition will be re-elected
