Just look at those stats!
After a break of three years, Eurostat has started collecting data on postal services. The National Regulatory Authorities are Eurostat's partners in the data collection and the reference year is 2004. This Data in Focus (DIF) is the first publication based on some selected variables of the new data set.
The data collection covered the companies operating under the Universal Service obligation (Universal Service Providers, USP) as well as other service providers. "Universal service" refers here to the set of general interest demands to which services such as the mail should be subject throughout the Community. The aim is to ensure that all users have access to quality services at an affordable price.
For the current publication, only data on the USP have been used. Activities other than postal services (for instance financial services) of the USP are excluded. The USPs are here defined as public or private entities providing a universal service or parts thereof within a Member State whether required by license, authorisations or other legal instruments.
Key statistics detailed in the report include:
• Data on the Universal Service Providers (USPs)
• Turnover
• Letter Post items
• Post offices
• Letter volumes
• Quality standards
• Price for a standard letter

The Chairman gave a great presentation of these and other UK statistics to the CERP conference in Tallinn yesterday. It really does make a difference to have some proper data to analyse what the consequences would be for mail users of opening up the market.
