The general authorisation regime allows the provision of postal services without previously obtaining an explicit decision from ANCOM. The submission of a simple notification to ANCOM on the intention to provide postal services suffices.
The postal service provider has the right to conclude agreements stipulating the provision, by third parties, of certain services of clearance, sorting, transport and delivery of postal items. The clearance and delivery of postal items can only be performed directly by a postal service provider or indirectly, by means of a third party, which provides these services on behalf and on the expense of the postal service provider, based on an agreement concluded in written form. In the latter instance, the liability for the provision of the postal service in relationship with the users will be fully incumbent on the postal service provider.
We recommend to all interested persons and in particular to the authorised providers of postal services, as well as to the persons intending to provide postal services, to carefully study the provisions of Government Emergency Ordinance no.13/2013 and of the ANRCTI President’s Decision no.2858/2007, with the subsequent amendments and completions, in order to clearly identify all the rights and obligations they have or will have in their relation with the users, the other postal service providers and ANCOM.
