Abstract
Remailing changes the world postal system. It injects competition into a system traditionally governed by monopoly and cooperation. By infringing upon monopoly rights of postal administrations and contravening the philosophy underlying the Universal Postal Union (UPU), remailing emerged as a major policy problem. Not surprisingly, remailing is at the heart of a controversial discussion on future postal policy in the European Community.
