The legislative decree approved by the Executive has elements of deviation from the guidelines. Concerns about how expectations of universal service, on its perimeter and on the reservations in favor of the Italian Post.
Without a regulator really completely independent and impartial ta liberalization of postal services is likely to start with the brake engaged. This was written by the Antitrust Authority, alleging, in a report to Parliament and the Government, the agency model chosen in the draft decree (parliamentary opinion No 313) was launched by the Executive and now being examined by Parliament for its opinion.
According to the Antitrust Authority is responsible for monitoring the path of liberalization of the postal sector is entrusted by the decree a body which, by express provision of law, serves the public administration and is subject to the powers of direction and supervision of a minister, who also defines le funzioni, la struttura organizzativa e le modalità di finanziamento. L’Agenzia non potrebbe così qualificarsi neanche indipendente dagli operatori postali, visto che Poste Italiane, attuale fornitore del servizio universale e in posizione dominante nella gran parte dei mercati interessati, è una società a partecipazione pubblica totalitaria .
Per l’Antitrust il nodo dell’indipendenza e dell’imparzialità è invece cruciale perché il nuovo regolatore dovrà, in base al decreto, adottare i provvedimenti necessari a promuovere la concorrenza nei mercati postali. L’attribuzione delle funzioni regolatorie all’Agenzia anziché ad un’Autorità Independent is also in line with European guidelines .
According to finally give rise to antitrust concerns the lack of provision of basic measures to enable the realization of effective competition in the postal sector which custody of universal service by public procedures, the review of its perimeter el ' abolition of the reserve post.
