Abstract

The article analyses the impact of the Lisbon Treaty, entered into force in December 2009, on the provision of postal services and especially on universal services obligations. Through the amendment of the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Lisbon Treaty consolidates and develops the established principles of EU law, modifies the institutional structure and decision-making process of the EU, and introduces new services of general interest-related provisions in EU primary law. However, will such modifications effectively have an impact on the provision of postal services, and/or on universal postal services?
