14.02.2024 — The UPU held its first Arab Postal Leaders Forum in Muscat, Oman, from 12 to 14 February 2024. Several members of the Consultative Committee – Beyon Connect, e-Boks, ISITEC, Ship2MyID and Geomain – sponsored and participated in the event. The CC had a strong presence during the three busy days of networking and discussions around the theme “Arab Posts: On track towards digital transformation and innovation”.
CC members are involved in various projects where they support designated operators with their expertise.
Postal Prosperity Zones (PPZ)
The postal prosperity zone (PPZ) initiative seeks to enable designated operators (DOs) to fully engage with wider postal sector players (WPSPs). Since DOs are tasked with providing countrywide postal delivery services and operating secure offices of exchange (under the supervision of the competent governmental authorities), they benefit from special customs and import procedures. It is worth noting in this connection that services provided in collaboration with DOs may vary from country to country.
At the heart of the initiative is the seamless flow of cross-border business-to-consumer (B2C) supplies, based on the sharing of harmonized data among all WPSPs involved (all transport modes, including rail and maritime).
The deployment phase of the PPZ initiative will begin during the second half of 2023 and will be spearheaded by Morocco, as major elements of the initiative are ready to be deployed there. The technical and messaging specifications and IT infrastructure are already available, and some of the more recent requirements have been addressed by CC WPSPs, in compliance with UPU treaties and governmental regulations. We expect the initial results of the pilot to be available by the fourth quarter of 2023.
