ANCOM said in a statement that Direct Post delivered mail weighing 0-50 grams, at a price lower than RON2 per delivery. Until the end of 2012, only Posta Romana is allowed to provide this service for less than RON2 per delivery, having won this right in a tender held by ANCOM in 2009.
Direct Post was previously fined RON5,000 in January and RON30,000 in June.
The nine fines applied by ANCOM so far this year, for infringement on Posta Romana’s monopoly, amount to a total RON261,000. (EUR1=RON4.5687)
