Swiss Post remains committed to strong universal service

Swiss Post will do its best to continue providing a high-quality universal postal service throughout Switzerland at reasonable prices.

Swiss voters have rejected the “Pro Service public” initiative with around 68% percent of the votes. Swiss Post welcomes this vote, because it regards the initiative as counterproductive for the tried and tested, broad-based public service. The initiative would have harmed, rather than benefited, the good universal service in Switzerland. On the basis of the applicable regulatory framework and directives, Swiss Post will continue to focus its efforts on meeting its universal service obligation at the same high level of quality currently recognized by the owner, regulation and customers, and to finance this service out of its own resources.
