Same...

We are facing the same problem like in mobile communications.
Why are we treating Vodafone, Orange, O2 and the same like national companies and not as European companies? Roaming in Europe? Stupid... In fact You can travel from Athens to London and be always under Vodafone or Orange cover all the way. So? why pay more. Just because they want to. Pleeeeeeease...

The shipping and postal services are in the same category.

My solution is a little radical... Lets make an European postal service... Same price in al EU. Already, on paper, there is no border for merchandise. So what is the problem? Eh the bosses of the national postal services, the ministers and the national parliaments are the problem. Sack them!!! They will demonstrate that having a single EU postal service is undermining our national identities. Phhhh there are only letters and parcels not national treasures...
