    1. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) represents international business at the global level. ICC speaks on behalf of some 7000 business enterprises and associations in over 130 countries, all of which make use of postal services every working day.
    2. ICC has Class 1 consultative status with the United Nations and long-standing working relationships with the WTO, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and other multilateral intergovernmental organizations.
    3. The ICC views the international post as an essential communications means, for business to business interaction, as well as for business to consumer contacts (e.g. correspondence on products, after-sales service, contractual interchange, invoicing and direct mail) and consumer to business communications.
    4. The present state of the international postal system does not always meet the requirements of the business community. The international postal system has the opportunity to ensure it can compete with global communications. To achieve this, the UPU must act and encourage postal reform and development. The UPU in this regard is helped by developments in the EU. However, the pace of change is still slow. To this end, ICC is pleased to submit the following views to the member countries of the UPU, for consideration at the Beijing Congress.
