Supervision

Four authorities supervise the Group

Swiss Post Ltd and its strategic subsidiaries operate in different markets and are supervised by the relevant regulator in each sector.

As part of the comprehensive revision of postal legislation, the legislature has established a new authority, the Federal Postal Services Commission (PostCom), which oversees the universal service for postal services. It replaces the previous postal regulator (PostReg). Like other companies in its sector, PostFinance Ltd is supervised by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). For the monitoring of the universal service as regards payment transactions and press subsidies, the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) extended its responsibilities to include a section covering postal services. The Federal Office of Transport (FOT) continues to oversee PostBus Switzerland Ltd. In addition, the Competition Commission (COMCO) and the price regulator continue to be accorded specific supervisory functions under various laws.
