2.4 Maximum price variation of standard mail up to 20g, in the occasional segment (base prices)


Under article 9, the average annual price variation of non-priority/standard mail up to 20g, in the national service, paid with stamps and postage stamps at postal establishments shall not exceed 7.5%, in nominal terms.

CTT proposes for 2017, for the price of stamps and postage stamps for national standard mail up to 20g, in the occasional segment (base prices), a one-off variation, on 01.04.2017, of 6.4% (increasing from €0.47 to €0.50), which means an average annual price variation of 5.2% (Table 3) for this service, which is thus in compliance with the rule laid down.
