Response to Consultation Paper -Review of the Universal Postal Service & Obligation

Guernsey Post welcomes the Consultation Paper by Commerce & Employment (C&E) on the Review of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) and believes that this will contribute to an informed debate on how best to meet the postal needs of the people of the Bailiwick.

Boley Smillie, Guernsey Post Chief Executive said:
"We hope that the Consultation Paper will allow C&E to clearly identify the requirements of the USO. It will then be necessary to identify the costs associated with these requirements and to ensure that appropriate funding arrangements are in place."

Guernsey Post is firmly of the view that the level at which the USO is set is ultimately a matter for the States of Guernsey to determine. Wherever the level is set Guernsey Post is committed to ensuring that it is achieved.
