UPU & Postal Industry

CLS briefing series from the postal industry experts

Active in the postal industry for more than 35 years, and with Walter Trezek the Chairman of the UPU's Consultative Committee (UPU CC), the body representing the wider postal stakeholders, CLS is ideally placed to provide concise and accurate summaries about current activities at the UPU, plus our thoughts on future developments and the postal industry as a whole.

Starting in 2021, we cover topics ranging from live coverage of the 27th UPU Congress in Abidjan, an evaluation of the new UPU strategy for the period 2022-2025, and an analysis of the impact of the EU VAT Ecommerce package on postal cross-border logistics.
