According to RRT, the proposal has not been sufficiently motivated and based on expenditure, thus currently RRT has no grounds to change the approved tariffs for postal customers.

"Moreover, because the EU and national legislation deems universal postal service as a substantial communications and information exchange means, it is crucial to assess what effect tariff changes would have for the end user. This means that the increase of final price might have significant impact on accessibility of universal postal service. RRT evaluated a proposal made by Lithuania Post and found that final price for users of postal services might grow from two to thirteen times," the authority said.

RRT has informed Lithuania Post that the current proposal is not substantiated by expenditure and additional information has to be provided.
