    Actualmente, el sector postal está sometido a un intenso proceso de transformación orientado a la creación de un marco más competitivo en la Unión Europea (UE). Dado el interés general de los servicios postales considerado en las directivas europeas sobre la materia, éstas definen y delimitan un servicio postal universal (spu) e imponen a los operadores obligaciones de servicio universal (osu). Los costos de tales obligaciones se compensan a través de la asignación transitoria de un ámbito reservado o de un fondo de compensación al prestador del spu. Este trabajo analiza el ámbito del spu y las alternativas de su financiación en la UE, donde se han dado pasos normativos de trascendencia, primero en materia de financiación y, más recientemente, en materia de regulación del acceso a la red.

    The postal sector has suffered an intense process of transformation oriented towards creating a competitive frame in the European Union (EU). Being considered of general interest in the European Directives, these define and delimit universal postal services (ups) and impose universal service obligations (uso). The first problem is financing the uso, solved through the allocation of a reserved scope or a compensating fund for the operator. Like each member state presents its peculiarities from the starting point and throughout the whole process, the effects of opening up of the postal market can be very different. This work analyses the funding alternatives of the ups problem digging deeper into EU case, where some normative steps have been taken, both regarding the financing of the ups and the regulation of access to the network.
