Poczta Polska enlists support from Canada in preparing for EU entry

Poczta Polska, the national post office, has signed an agreement under which it will be able to make use of technologies and advisory services provided by the Canadian Post Office. The agreement comes at a time when Poczta Polska is preparing for the opening of the mail service market that will follow Poland's accession to the European Union (EU). Poczta Polska representatives announced that part of the cost of the co-operation will be covered by funds provided indirectly by the Canadian government. The deal is for an initial 10 years, with the option of a 5-year extension. (Prawo i Gospodarka, p. 2) K.K.
