Decision Notice on Postcodes as an Integral Part of a Postal Address.

Following the publication of the Legal Notice amending the Postal Services (General) Regulations (S.L. 254.01 of the Laws of Malta), the Decision Notice issued by the MCA today establishes the regulatory conditions which are to be met by MaltaPost as the Universal Service Provider before the amended regulations become applicable. Amongst other conditions, MaltaPost is obliged to undertake an extensive information programme to inform the general public, and which will include individual notification of the postcode to each address in Malta and Gozo. These conditions are included in Section 3.2 of the MCA Decision.
