Abstract: Abstract Article 12 of the Postal Services Directive (hereinafter “PSD”) stipulates that (special) tariffs for each of the services forming part of the universal service (hereinafter “US”) shall be, inter alia, non-discriminatory, while Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter “TFEU”) prohibits the abuse of a dominant position. Building on this legal context, the aim of this chapter is to answer the following hypothetical question: Is a universal service provider (hereinafter “USP”) with a dominant position entitled to introduce, for services forming part of the US, a quantity rebate scheme that considers a group of companies as a single sender, where the quantity rebate is based on the total quantity of the group, and not as a group of separate senders?
