ESSENTIAL ASPECTS CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION LAW IN THE FIELD OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS, POSTAL SERVICES AND RAIL TRANSPORT

Florentina Cristina Baldan

Abstract


The paper presents essential aspects on the application of the competition law in the sector of telecommunications, postal services and rail transport. These regulated sectors have a number of elements in common with those in the European countries, a significant part of the institutional and regulatory environment being modelled based on the legislation of the European Union.          The postal service sector has a more varied image, markets being completely deregulated. Although the competition in certain sectors, such as the express deliveries and parcel and freight delivery services seem to function appropriately, the existing company dominating the letter delivery services, and the performance indicators show low quality levels. Competition has strongly penetrated the rail goods transportation, where the market share of the company already existent in the market has decreased below 50%.
