Den 7. oktober vedtog Kommissionen en beslutning (22) om, at ændringen af Slovakiets postlov indebar en overtrædelse af EF-traktatens artikel 86 sammenholdt med artikel 82, fordi den lod leveringsfasen i forbindelse med hybridpost (23), som tidligere var blevet liberaliseret, falde ind under det område, der er forbeholdt postvirksomheden (»postmonopolet«).
On 7 October, the Commission adopted a decision (22) finding that the amendment of the Slovak Postal Act constituted an infringement of Article 86 in conjunction with Article 82 EC since it included into the reserved area (‘postal monopoly’) the delivery stage of hybrid mail services (23), a service which had previously been liberalised.
