Objective
European Posts have in recent years made considerable investments in open-standard technology and caused significant and measurable improvements to the quality of service of trans-European mail. Quality of service improved from 70% of items delivered by the third day after posting in 1994 to 94% in the first 6 months of 2000. Much of the development was supported by the EC Framework Programmes. The recently approved Postal Directive of the European Parliament and Council lays down mandatory and measurable quality of service standards. Postal operators in pre-accession countries of Eastern Europe will be required to conform, and will therefore be required to provide significantly better international quality of service than that currently offered to their citizens.
CAPERS will transfer and deploy BEST PRACTICES and supporting technologies to enable pre-accession countries to operate postal services to the required European standards. CAPERS brings together a group of organisations uniquely qualified to provide the experience and abilities needed to achieve the project objectives. The main partners, PostEurop and IPC, are non-profit making organisations established by national postal operators for the exclusive purpose of supporting and adding value to international postal operations. These partners will transfer Best Business Practices developed by the Western Posts, under the auspices of IPC, to the Eastern Posts whose formal representative is PostEurop.
