We help regulators to understand the specifics of the postal and delivery sector and what those imply for the design, application, and impact of regulation.

We help delivery operators to predict how regulation will influence their business.

Our areas of expertise include, amongst other things, analysis of USO scope, calculation of USO net costs, and design of cost allocation, access and tariff regulation.

We help operators to avoid costly competition cases by ensuring that tariffs and discounts comply with competition law.

In the event of a conflict we provide economics-based arguments and evidence that can be used by operators (small and large) in discussions with regulators and competition authorities.

We assist operators who (I) are accused of having received illegal state aid or (II) suspect that a competitor has received state aid that should be considered unlawful.

By using economic analysis and tools, we identify whether the aid provided should be considered illegal or not.

We provide strategic advice to small and large operators within the postal and delivery sector. Areas we cover are, amongst others, pricing, regulation, and business models.

We help operators: estimate the carbon footprint of their value chain; benchmark their performance to other companies and sectors; design initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint and estimate their impact; supporting them in commercial negotiations and pricing both when acquiring green energy (e.g. green certificates, through PPA, FPA) and when selling green delivery (e.g. to e-retailers); navigate the regulatory developments in the area; communicate results to policy makers and regulators.
