ANCOM said in a statement Wednesday Total Post collected, sorted, transported and delivered mail weighing 0-50 grams, at a price lower than RON20 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.
ANCOM also decided to suspend for three months Total Post’s right to offer postal services. If, after these three months, the operator continues to violate Post Romana’s monopoly, ANCOM will withdraw its authorization to operate on the postal market, reads the statement.
Total Post Services was fined RON50,000 in May and RON10,000 in October 2011 for the same reason. (EUR1=RON4.5647)
