The draft is elaborated in relation to the entering into force of the Law for amendment and supplement to the Postal Services Act (promulgated SG, issue 87/2009).

 

The most significant changes in the draft aim at reflecting the new provisions of the Law for amendment and supplement to the Postal Services Act, as according to the amendment, the Ordinance now refers only to the postal operator having the obligation to perform the universal postal service.
