Bpost is charged with the universal postal service until 31 December 2018, in accordance with Article 144octies, § 1, of the Act of 21 March 1991 on the reform of certain economic public companies. The same provision states that the designation procedure of the universal service provider who will succeed bpost shall end at the latest three years before the end of the previous designation, i.e. before 31 December 2015. The Royal Decree of 19 April 2014 amending the Royal Decree of 11 January 2006 implementing Title IV (Reform of the Postal Authorities) of the Act of 21 March 1991 on the reform of certain economic public companies has introduced, in this Royal Decree of January 2006, a new Title VI laying down the designation procedure of the universal service provider and entrusting BIPT with the practical organisation of this procedure in name and on behalf of the Belgian State.
