Abstract
In Poland, the rendering of postal services is regulated by the Act of 12 June 2003 – Postal Law (in Polish: Prawo Pocztowe; hereafter the PP Act)1. The Act determines the conditions governing postal activities and their control as well as the rendering of postal services and the universal postal service. In 2009, the National Regulatory Authority proposed to the Ministry of Infrastructure a number of amendments to the PP Act2. The new provisions were to ensure in particular fair conditions for postal operators to compete and for consumers to obtain access to postal services of high quality and at affordable prices. In this context, separate definitions of the different types of postal services3 were of key importance.
