As of April 2009, Estonia fully opened its postal market. Eesti Post has lost the exclusive right to forward domestic letters of up to 50 gr. A UPS provider shall be designated as a result of public competition organised by NCA for 5 years (under Section 6 of the Postal Act). Also everyone who wants to provide postal services, as for example forwarding letters can apply for a license (under Section 10(1) of the Postal Act).   The Postal Act is implementing  Directive 97/67/EC with regard to the full accomplishment of the internal market of Community postal services as last amended by Directive 2008/6/EC, Article 7(1), establishes that Member States shall not grant or maintain in force exclusive or special rights for the establishment and provision of postal services.
