Managerial Policies and Legislation within Romanian Courier Services Market

Summary/Abstract: For the European market, services have a major importance, representing over 70% of the European Union’s economic activity and, in a similar proportion, the labor force. The objectives of the European Union’s postal policies are to establish an increase in the quality of postal services. The liberalization of postal services has become one of the European Union’s priorities. Gradually, this process of liberalization was marked by three directives – Directive 97/67/EC of 1997, modified through Directive 2002/39 and Directive 2008/6/EC. The third postal directive establishes the market opening for most of the European Union Member States until December 31st 2010, however, for Romania and a few other Member States the deadline is December 31st 2012. In Romania, the market of postal and courier services is regulated by the ANCOM. The present paper aims at presenting an analysis of Romanian courier services market as well as of managerial policies adopted during the economic crisis.
