Judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 6 October 2010 (US)

Synthesis report of the consultation organised by the BIPT Council at the request of the Minister of enterprise and simplification of 29/04/2010 regarding the practical implementation of directive 2006/24/EC of 15 March 2006 (directive on data retention)

The ever-increasing complexity of the world postal network pushed the UPU to work diligently in new fields related among others to postal technologies, e-commerce and postal payment services. During the last fifteen years, the UPU has set up several extra-budgetary groups in order to respond flexibly to the sector rapid changes. An analysis of their creation process shows that each of them was created on an ad hoc basis, without any consistent policy on creating such groups. The 24th Congress recognised the absence of clear rules defining the UPU’s extra-budgetary activities organisation and management. Through its resolution C16/2008, it has put the Council of Administration in charge of examining the different questions on the organisation and the financing of the UPU’s extra-budgetary activities, in the framework of the activities related to the UPU’s reform. During the said Congress, a set of proposals were presented with the aim of adding rules on the UPU’s extra-budgetary activities to the General Regulations. It was decided that they required a thorough study on legal and organisational aspects of the UPU’s extra-budgetary activities.

In the framework of the Council of Administration, BIPT chairs two Project groups. The first deals with the UPU’s reform and the second with the Acts of the UPU. The « Reform of the Union » PG focuses mainly on two aspects: the status of the Union as a specialised body of the United Nations and the organisation and financing of extra-budgetary UPU’s activities. The Council of Administration was put in charge of conducting a survey on the possibilities of adapting the UPU’s mission cited in the Preamble of the Constitution. The Project group has decided to focus on the UN-UPU agreement, which is the legal basis for determining the status of the UPU as a specialised body of the United Nations. In this context, BIPT has called upon the VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) to carry out a survey which would serve as a legal basis to its reflection and which would serve as a reference document to the whole world postal community.
