Postiseadus

Postiseadus refers to the postal law of Estonia. It is the primary legal act that governs postal services within the country. This law establishes the framework for the provision of postal services, including the rights and obligations of postal service providers and users. It defines what constitutes a postal item and outlines the principles of postal secrecy.

The Postiseadus also addresses issues related to the universal postal service, ensuring that essential postal services are available to all citizens across Estonia. It sets out regulations for the quality of service, tariffs, and competition in the postal market. The law also specifies the role of the relevant supervisory authority, which is responsible for overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the postal law.

Key aspects covered include the licensing of postal service providers, regulations for mail sorting and delivery, and provisions for handling complaints. The law aims to promote an efficient, competitive, and accessible postal service network for the benefit of the public. It also contains provisions related to the security of postal items and the prevention of illegal activities involving postal services. Amendments to the Postiseadus are made to adapt to changes in the postal sector and to align with European Union directives on postal services.
