According to the regulations, CNPR will set its tariffs for the services within the scope of universal service which it was designated to provide without exceeding however the maximum limit established according to the adopted methodology.

When setting the tariffs for the provided services, CNPR will need to take into account the consumer price index, as well as elements reflecting the consumer price variation and the productivity of CNPR compared to the productivity of the national economy. To observe the limit imposed by ANCOM, CNPR will have to prudently set the tariffs to be applied, keeping into account inclusively the period in which these tariffs will apply, as well as the forecasted traffic volume for each of the categories of services included in the scope of the postal universal service.

 

 

The postal services within the scope of universal service covered by the tariff regulation adopted by ANCOM are the following:

a) clearance, sorting, transport and delivery of domestic and cross-border postal items weighing up to (including) 2 kg, dealing with:

1. correspondence items, except for bulk correspondence items;

 2. printed matter items, except for bulk printed matter items;

 3. small packages, according to the provisions of the Universal Postal Convention and Letter-post Regulation, except for bulk small packages;

b) clearance, sorting, transport and delivery of domestic and cross-border postal parcels weighing up to (including) 10 kg, except for bulk parcels;

c) service for registered items dealing with the domestic and cross-border postal items weighing up to (including) 2 kg provided under letter a);

d) service for insured items dealing with:

1. the domestic and cross-border postal items weighing up to (including) 2 kg provided under letter a);

2. domestic and cross-border postal parcels weighing up to (including) 10 kg, except for bulk parcels.

 

 

CNPR has the obligation to notify ANCOM on all tariffs levied for the provision of services within the scope of postal universal service by 30 March of the year following that in which the the tariffs were charged, while the Authority has 60 days at its disposal to verify them. In case of any change of the tariffs set by CNPR according to the adopted methodology, the provider will notify the public and the Authority on the respective tariffs at least 30 days before applying them.

If the information submitted by CNPR reveals a difference between the tariffs resulted from the ANCOM checking and the tariffs charged by CNPR resulted by applying the calculation methodology, CNPR will adjust the postal services tariffs in the following year so that the charged difference could be compensated.
