The average weighted change of prices for reserved services (postal summonses and notifications service) must not exceed, in 2015, CPI + CPICF - 3.5%, in average nominal terms (paragraph 2 of article 10 of the pricing criteria).
Given that:
- CPI means the inflation forecasted by the Government for 2015 and as such entered in the State Budget Report for 2015 (paragraph 2 of article 2), that is, CPI= 0.7%;
- CPICF corresponds to the difference between the inflation value forecasted for 2014 in the 2015 State Budget Report (0%) and the inflation value (CPI) that had been forecasted for 2014 in the 2014 State Budget Report (1%), that is CPICF = -1,0% (=0% - 1%),
then the maximum price change of reserved postal services is -3.8% (= 0.7% - 1.0% -3.5%).
For reserved services, CTT propose, as follows from the above-mentioned provision, a nominal decrease of prices. CTT’s price proposal results in an overall average annual change by 3.8%, in compliance with the applicable maximum price change (Table 4).
