Norwegian mail service fined by ESA
The Authority has concluded that Posten Norge infringed Article 54 of the EEA Agreement by abusing its dominant position in Norway between 2000 and 2006. Posten Norge is surprised by the ruling, and is considering appealing to EFTA's court of appeal. Posten Norge is the national postal operator in Norway and a leading provider of parcel delivery services. The case concerns handling of parcels sent by mail-order and e-commerce companies to Norwegian consumers. Posten Norge has had a particularly strong position in this market. In its ruling ESA states that these agreements entailed that Posten Norge made it difficult for competing suppliers of parcel delivery services from establishing a nationwide, competing delivery network of collection points for their parcels.
