On 8 November 2023, the UPU Council of Administration held a Coordination Meeting with Restricted Unions, using the International Bureau's virtual teleconference system.

The meeting was attended by representatives of regional organizations: PUASP, PAPU, PostEurop, CRASA, PUMed, CEPT and the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications.

On behalf of the Regional Commonwealth in the Field of Communications, the representative of the Russian Federation, Oleg Syromyatnikov, Advisor to the Deputy General Director for International Business and Interaction with International Organizations of “Russian Post”, participated and delivered a presentation.

During the presentation, it was noted that RCC designated postal operators work with the private sector, outsourcing information on elements of the logistics chain to optimize costs, improve service quality and reduce delivery times. The RCC is also involved in the implementation of the decisions taken at the UPU Extraordinary Congress and regularly addresses issues at meetings of the RCC Working Bodies related to the postal sector. In doing so, RCC Member-States have been asked to review postal legislation to eliminate restrictions that prevent postal operators from being competitive today.
