The purpose of this study is to envision a new approach towards regulation of the European postal sector based on sound regulatory principles. The study identifies seven principles of sound regulatory practice after surveying a broad range of legal and policy precedents. These principles are used to evaluate the current regulatory model, principally as defined by the Postal Directive. The study concludes the current European model fails to follow sound regulatory principles in key respects. The report then develops a new regulatory model that illustrates how sound regulatory principles could be applied to the postal sector of the future assuming no change in current policy objectives. Finally, the report considers the practicality of using the new regulatory model as a basis for a new postal directive. It suggests that the new regulatory model would have to be modified to accommodate the transitional concerns and alternative policy objectives that must necessarily arise in consideration of a new directive.

An account of how couriers and express companies used legislative advocacy, litigation, public relations, public affairs, and scholastic appeal to encourage regulatory reforms in the United States, Europe, and intergovernmental organizations during the last quarter of the twentieth century, opening the way for development of global delivery services integrating both private carriers and leading public post offices. Nine public policy issues are described: U.S. postal monopoly and couriers, international excess baggage rights, U.S. customs restrictions, European postal monopolies, international customs reform (Customs Cooperation Council), international remail, European postal reform, U.S. postal reform, and reform of the Universal Postal Union. In each case, a summary of the course of events is followed by copies of major policy presentations from the period. An introductory chapter provides a brief account of the evolution of international delivery services sector and pertinent legal regimes.

Selected papers have been collected into sets devoted to specific topics. These papers have been revised to adhere to a uniform style and minor errors have been corrected; otherwise, they are unchanged from the original editions. Some papers are out of date, and there is a certain degree of repetition. In some cases, my views have changed over time. Nonetheless, these collections are intended to provide the interested reader with easier access to and a more complete view of the material covered.
