Lobbying Activity

Response to EU Delivery Act

17 Nov 2025

Postal services are vital infrastructure connecting citizens, businesses, and governments across Europe. However, a structural imbalance has emerged: traditional letter volumes are declining, while parcel traffic surges due to e-commerce growth. The current EU postal regulations, including the Postal Services Directive and the Cross-Border Parcel Regulation, no longer reflect this reality. Market liberalization has led to fragmentation, reducing job quality and threatening universal access. Workers face precarious contracts, false self-employment, and algorithmic exploitation, jeopardizing the sectors social and territorial mission. FO COM supports Option 3, proposing a unified EU delivery law covering both letters and parcels. This would ensure fair competition, sustainable financing, and decent working conditions amid rapid digitalization. It redefines the scope of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) to include parcels, maintains delivery frequency where feasible, and guarantees access in rural areas. The framework would promote fair cost-sharing, transparency, and legal clarity, stabilizing the market. The parcel boom has fragmented the market, fostering multi-layer subcontracting and misuse, which harm workers with low wages, long hours, and unsafe workloads. FO COM calls for stricter regulation of subcontracting responsibilities, extended joint liability, and stronger cooperation between postal regulators and labor authorities, including platform work protections and algorithm transparency. Public postal networks must continue delivering universal service under strict obligations, while e-commerce operators often operate with minimal regulation, creating unfair competition, declining quality, and environmental harm. Sustainability must be prioritized through consolidated networks, zero-emission fleets, and shared infrastructure. A unified legislative framework would set social, fiscal, and environmental standards, preventing social and fiscal dumping. It would define delivery as a service of general economic interest, vital to Europe's social and territorial cohesion. FO COM urges the Commission to revisit risks associated with subcontracting, aiming to establish a fair, sustainable, socially responsible delivery ecosystem that protects workers and preserves the long-term value of Europes postal networks.
