10 0. Executive summary - Background Chapter 6 of Postal Directive 97/67/EC, as amended by Directives 2002/39 and 2008/6 (afterwards referred to as Directive in this report), lays down that the national regulatory authorities (NRAs) shall ensure compliance with the obligations arising from the Directive, in particular through the follow-up of quality of service. The Directive emphasises that the postal reform has brought significant positive developments in the postal sector, with increased quality of service and focus on meeting consumer needs. Increased competition allows consumers to take advantage of a wider choice of products and services offered by postal service providers and allows these products and services to be continually improved in order to meet consumer demand. Quality-of-service standards are set and published in relation to the universal service in order to guarantee a postal service of good quality. The European Regulators Group for Postal Services (ERGP) will continuously monitor the effects of postal liberalisation through appropriate indicators and their development over time, as well as through the assessment of end-user complaint procedures to ensure that transparent, simple and inexpensive complaint procedures are available to users particularly in cases involving loss, theft, damage or non-compliance with service quality standards and that consumers are protected according to the provisions of the Directive. - Objective The goal of this report is to provide the necessary data to monitor and follow up the quality of service, the complaint handling and the consumer protection within the context of the regulatory measures taken in those fields. - Methodology 32 ERGP members have provided feedback: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 10

11 - Current situation regarding service quality and end-user satisfaction The quality of service and the end-user satisfaction have been analysed with a view to the following 5 dimensions: 1 Measurement of the quality of service concerning transit time 2 Collection and delivery 3 Access points 4 Measurement of consumer satisfaction 5 Surveys regarding customers needs 1 Measurement of the quality of service concerning routing times and the regularity and reliability of services In 32 ERGP members, there are always regulatory objectives for routing times (100% of the respondents). For queuing time in post offices, there is a regulatory objective in 3 countries (9%). The regulatory objectives deal with universal services and four countries have established regulatory objectives for universal services provided by non-usp/non-incumbent. In 2013, targets for measuring the transit time of end-to-end priority mail in the domestic postal market were established in 30 countries. There is a wide range of targets across the ERGP countries reflecting different national considerations and, as such, comparisons between ERGP countries cannot be drawn. The average value of results (D+1) in countries who answered the questionnaire was 87.6% in 2013 (27 countries provided information on the results obtained), which is lower than the previous year (88.29%). In 21 countries 2 the USP achieved the targets, while in 5 countries 3 the USP did not. In 19 countries, we have quality of service targets and mostly also results for parcels, in 17 countries we have also quality of service targets and mostly also results for non-priority mail, and in 6 countries we have targets and mostly also results for bulk mail. 2 Collection and delivery Regarding the frequency of collection and delivery to be made by the USP, the responses received from Member States revealed that the Directive has been implemented by all with at least one collection/delivery for 5 days a week (in some countries the obligations have extended to 6 days per week). Exceptions have been granted in many countries regarding frequency of collection and mostly delivery. Responses revealed that exceptions are mainly related to dispersed population, mountainous character and islands. 2 AT, BE, CH, CY, CZ, FR, EL, HR, HU, LU, LT, MT, NO, PT, SE, SK, SI, UK 3 BG, DK, EE, PL, RO 11

12 3 Access points ERGP (14) 24 report on QoS and end-user satisfaction The access point issue is very sensitive and this is reflected by the fact that a vast majority of the countries consider it necessary to have requirements or standards to ensure an adequate number of collection letterboxes and points of contact/postal establishments. There are different types of points of contact at the European level. The most common is the permanent post office managed by the USP with a full range of services and the permanent post agency managed by a 3rd party. 4 Measurement of consumer satisfaction According to the responses, 14 out of 32 NRAs (45%) use or monitor indicators of consumer satisfaction in their countries, while 18 (55%) do not. The results from the 2014 questionnaire show that, among the NRAs that use/monitor indicators of consumer satisfaction, market surveys are used as the main method to identify levels of consumer satisfaction and this ranges in frequency from adhoc to annual to twice yearly surveys. The number of satisfaction indicators varies between NRAs depending on the nature of the research being undertaken and its objectives, the size of the postal market and their capability to conduct research given individual circumstances and the regulatory framework. 5 Surveys regarding customers needs In terms of surveys regarding consumer needs and market, 14 NRAs (45%) answered that they conduct such surveys and 17 NRAs (55%) do not. Surveys are mostly carried out annually or on an ad hoc basis to serve regulatory needs. Usually, the surveys are conducted by an independent body. Different methodologies are used, including telephone interviews/computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATIs), standardised questionnaires and face to face interviews. - Current situation regarding complaint handling and consumer protection The report examines five key issues in the field of complaint handling and consumer protection, namely: a) Scope and competence of NRAs regarding complaint handling b) Information provision and access to complaint handling and dispute resolution c) Implementation of Standard EN 14012:2008 d) Compensation schemes for individual customers e) Collection of data on complaints 1 Scope and competence of NRAs regarding complaint handling This part is dealing with the legal framework on complaint handling. First of all, it illustrates in some more detail the respective legal basis as set within the Postal Directives. Secondly, it evaluates the scope and the competence of the NRAs in handling complaints on postal services, and it looks at the other organisations a customer 4 can address himself to in case of a complaint. 4 Customer has a broader meaning so that it can include customer or user 12

13 According to the answers to the 2014 questionnaire, in 25 (81%) out of the 31 responding countries, the NRA is generally responsible for dealing with user complaints. In three of these countries (10%), the NRA only handles complaints with regard to the Universal Service, while in the vast majority (71%) all postal service issues can be addressed. 5 (16%) NRAs stated that they are not obliged to handle user complaints. 2 Information provision and access to complaint handling and dispute resolution This part analyses the information available for users on complaint handling procedures, redress schemes and means of dispute resolution. There have not been any major changes in the number of countries obliging the postal service providers to publish information. In most countries, universal postal service providers are generally obliged to publish information about complaint handling procedures and redress schemes, which was mentioned by 27 (85%) and 25 (78%) NRAs respectively. In fewer countries 10 (31%), there is an obligation covering information on means of dispute resolution. 3 Implementation of Standard EN 14012:2008 This part presents data on the situation regarding the implementation of the CEN Standard EN 14012:2008 (Postal Services - Quality of Service - Complaints handling principles) by postal service providers. Almost half the respondent NRAs (45%) indicated that the USP has implemented the CEN standard. However, concerning other postal service providers active in the universal service area, the standard is only implemented in 2 (7%) countries and is not implemented in any country for other postal service providers. The majority of NRAs (55%) indicated that the standard has not been implemented by any service provider. 4 Compensation schemes for individual customers In this part, the scope of existing compensation schemes is analysed. In most countries (17 out of 31), an obligation for a specific compensation scheme exists and covers the USP in almost all of them; this also extends to other postal service providers. These results show that no significant change occurred in this field when comparing with the data collected in Collection of data on complaints This part looks at the data that NRAs collect and have available on complaints about postal services in general and about cross-border services in particular. Almost all respondent NRAs collect data on complaints received by the USP regarding universal services (28 out of 32). Out of these, 21 indicated to collect data by category and 16 by service. Fewer NRAs collect data on complaints received by the USP about non-universal services (16 out of 32). 13

14 1. Background Chapter 6 of Postal Directive 97/67/EC, as amended by Directives 2002/39 and 2008/6 (afterwards referred to as Directive in this report), lays down that the national regulatory authorities (NRAs) shall ensure compliance with the obligations arising from the Directive, in particular through the follow-up of quality of service. The Directive emphasises that the postal reform has brought significant positive developments in the postal sector, with increased quality of service and focus on meeting consumer needs. Increased competition allows consumers to take advantage of a wider choice of products and services offered by postal service providers and allows these products and services to be continually improved in order to meet consumer demand. Quality-of-service standards are established and published in relation to the universal service in order to guarantee a postal service of good quality. Quality standards have to focus, in particular, on routing times and on the regularity and reliability of services. The European Commission established, by the decision of 10 August , the European Regulators Group for Postal Services (ERGP). The ERGP's tasks shall be: a) to advise and assist the Commission in consolidating the internal market for postal services; b) to advise and assist the Commission on any matter related to postal services within its competence; c) to advise and assist the Commission as to the development of the internal market for postal services and as to the consistent application in all Member States of the regulatory framework for postal services; d) to consult, in agreement with the Commission, extensively and at an early stage of its expert work with market participants, consumers and end-users in an open and transparent manner. The ERGP Plenary approved the ERGP work programme for This programme includes the elaboration of a report on QoS indicators, including cross-border QoS results and complaints. The ERGP will continuously monitor the effects of postal liberalisation through appropriate indicators such as benchmarking the quality of postal services and their development over time, including enduser complaint procedures to ensure that consumers are protected according to the provisions of the Directive. The goal is to collect the necessary data to monitor quality of service, linked back to regulatory measures taken in that field. Particular attention will also be given to complaint handling procedures and analysis of trends. 5 OJ C 217, , p

15 2. Objectives ERGP (14) 24 report on QoS and end-user satisfaction The report examines five key issues in the field of quality of service and end-user satisfaction, namely: a) measurement of quality of service concerning transit time b) collection and delivery c) access points d) measurement of consumer satisfaction e) surveys regarding customers needs The report also examines five key issues in the field of complaint handling and consumer protection, namely: a) scope and competence of NRAs on complaint handling b) information provision and access to complaint handling and dispute resolution c) implementation of standard EN d) compensation schemes for individual customers e) collection of data on complaints The goals are to collect the necessary data to monitor quality of service, end-user satisfaction, complaint handling and consumer protection within the context of the regulatory measures taken in those fields. The document aims at: a) reporting on the core quality of service indicators to monitor market development, evaluating the results of regulatory measures and the consumer protection measures taken especially in the field of complaint handling; b) reporting on the core indicators to monitor complaint handling and consumer protection. The report looks at the current and past situation (starting point) of data collection and published indicators regarding quality of service. Then, it analyses this data and identifies market trends regarding quality of service, e.g. results of mail transit time, quality of delivery, customer satisfaction and development of the postal network. The objective is to update this report on an annual basis. This ERGP report describes the current practices of NRAs concerning quality of service, complaint handling and consumer protection as well as the current scope, competencies and powers of NRAs. Also, the provision of information on complaint handling procedures and implementation of the complaint handling standard EN is analysed in detail. Moreover, the document makes reference to compensation schemes in place and collects data regarding complaints. 15

16 3. Methodology ERGP (14) 24 report on QoS and end-user satisfaction To obtain information regarding quality of service and end-user satisfaction in the broad sense of the term, including complaint handling and consumer protection, a questionnaire has been issued to collect information on the current situation. This report is based on the feedback provided by 32 ERGP members: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The analysis is primarily based on the answers provided to the questionnaires (June 2014), which in general, reflects the legislation and practice in place at the end of

17 4. Current situation regarding quality of service and end-user satisfaction The quality of service and the end-user satisfaction have been analysed with a view to the following 5 dimensions: 1 measurement of the quality of service concerning transit time 2 collection and delivery 3 access points 4 measurement of consumer satisfaction 5 surveys regarding customer needs Of course, other elements could also be used to monitor quality of service and end-user satisfaction, but in this report the scope has been limited to the dimensions above. We have also referred to the technical standards developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardisation) in the field of quality of service, as laid down in Article 20 of the Directive. 4.1 Measurement of quality of service concerning routing times and the regularity and reliability of services The legal ground for measuring quality of service was laid down in Directive 97/67/EC (Chapters 6 & 7 and Annex 2). Concerning quality, Article 16 of the Directive 97/67/EC states: Member States shall ensure that quality-of-service standards are set and published in relation to universal service in order to guarantee a postal service of good quality. Quality standards shall focus, in particular, on routing times and on the regularity and reliability of services.. Independent performance monitoring shall be carried out at least once a year by external bodies having no links with the universal service providers under standardized conditions to be specified in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 21 and shall be the subject of reports published at least once a year. Based on the ERGP questionnaire, the table 1 gives details regarding the definition of regulatory objective for routing time (transit time) and queuing time in post offices. 17

19 In 32 ERGP members, there are always regulatory objectives which deal with universal services for routing times (100% of the respondents). For loss or substantial delay, there is a regulatory objective in 11 countries (34%) and, for queuing time in post offices, there is a regulatory objective in 4 countries (13%). In 4 countries (16% - AT, DE 8, LU and RO 9 ) regulatory objectives are established for services provided by non-usp/non-incumbents, as shown on table 2. Even without regulatory objectives set out by the NRA or regulatory framework, the non- USP/non-incumbents measured and published the quality levels of services effectively offered according to parameters or common rules set by the NRA. This is the case in 3 of the ERGP countries, namely DK, RS and UK. For example, in DK, the non-usp/non-incumbents only have to publish the results and send a statement to the NRA while, in the UK, the non-usp/non-incumbents have to submit the consumer complaint numbers via Consumer Protection regulatory conditions. Table 2 Countries which have regulatory objectives for services provided by non-usp/non-incumbents Austria Germany Luxembourg 90% for D+2 delivery of letter items and 85% for D+3 delivery of parcel items 80% for D+1 and 95% for D+2 delivery of letter items (including registered mail) and 80% for D+2 delivery regarding parcel items 85% and 99% for D+2 and D+5 delivery, respectively, of items within the scope of the universal service Romania 80% for D+3 and 95% for D+5 8 German regulatory law does not differentiate the incumbent s services and those of its competitors, because the US provided not only the incumbent but also the entirety of postal service providers. 9 For the authorization regime in RO. 19

20 Table 3 below indicates which countries measure transit time and for which kind of services, namely: - Priority mail - Non-priority mail - Bulk mail - Newspapers and periodicals - Parcels - Registered items Table 3 Answers of 32 European countries concerning measurements of transit time which kind of services are measured Priority mail Non-priority mail Bulk mail Newspapers / periodicals Parcels Registered items AT BE - - BG CH CY CZ DE DK - - EE EL ES FI FR FY HR HU - IE IT - - LT LU LV MT - - NL NO PL PT - - RO RS SE SI SK - - UK Total Note: AT and ES did not differentiate between priority and non-priority mail. Non-priority mail is not applicable in CY, CZ, DE, EE, IE, IT, LU, MT, NL. SI doesn t differentiate on priority and non-priority mail.; the measurement is done for items of correspondence which includes, if compared to the definition of priority mail/non-priority mail, a broader range of services. 20

21 Priority mail is measured in all ERGP members, considering that AT, ES and SI did not differentiate between priority and non-priority mail. Parcels are measured in 14 of the 32 (44%) ERGP members, registered items in 8 of the 32 (25%) ERGP members, bulk mail in 5 of the 32 (16%) ERGP members and newspapers / periodicals in 3 of the 32 (10%) ERGP members. In 14 ERGP members, the non-priority mail is effectively measured, given that the following countries do not have non-priority mail: CY, CZ, DE, EE, IE, IT, LU, MT, NL, which indicates that, 14 of 23 (61%) of the ERGP members measured these services. Table 14 below gives details about the regulatory objective regarding cross-border services on the following issue: - Regulatory objectives related to cross-border services - Regarding cross-border flows - Source of such information Table 4 - Cross-border Information per Country Regulatory objectives regarding cross-border services Results regarding cross-border flows?

In 3 ERGP countries, there are regulatory objectives but the NRA does not obtain the results. But in one of them, it is temporary, since they are working to solve the issue. The information source is the USP or IPC. In 10 countries, it is the USP; in 15 countries, it is IPC. Of all the 32 countries, only Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia and Sweden answered that there are no regulatory objectives related to cross-border services. The remaining countries established objectives regarding D+3 and D+5 delivery, except for Malta (94%) and Belgium (90%), which established additional targets for the incoming cross-border mail regarding D+1 delivery. Concerning D+3 delivery, all countries set the target value at 85%, except for France (90%), Portugal (88%) and Austria (90% for cross-border extra-community priority letter mail items and postal parcel items). Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom did not define a target value for cross-border extracommunity priority letter mail items and postal parcel items. Ireland and Serbia have regulatory objectives related to cross-border services, but did not indicate the target values for Based on info provided by IPC. 15 The data are generated by IPC, but are communicated to the regulatory authority by the USP 16 Based on info provided by IPC. 17 Idem 22

Ireland and Serbia have regulatory objectives related to crossborder services, but did not indicate the target values for Measurement of quality of service for single piece priority mail in 2013 In 2013, targets for measuring the transit time of end-to-end priority mail in the domestic postal market were established in 30 countries. There is a wide range of targets across the ERGP countries reflecting different national considerations and, as such, comparisons between ERGP countries cannot be drawn.

Table 5 above shows the countries that established targets for D+1, D+2, D+3 and other higher delivery, as well as their results. Based on this table, we can notice the following points: - 11 countries 23 established targets for D+2 delivery. Luxembourg (85%), Poland (90%) and Portugal (87%) 24 have the lowest targets, while Malta (98%) and Slovenia (99.5%) have the highest targets. Bulgaria (difference of 19.4% compared to the target) and Romania (difference of 26% compared to the target) failed to achieve their targets; - 14 countries 25 established targets for D+3 delivery. France, (99%), Ireland (99.5%), Luxembourg (99%), Malta (99%) and Slovenia (100%) have the highest targets.
