Ker je v večini držav članic operater, naveden v točki 4.2, na podlagi podeljenih izključnih pravic edini operater, ki upravlja javno poštno omrežje, ki pokriva celotno ozemlje države članice, ima takšen operater prevladujoči položaj v smislu člena 86 Pogodbe na nacionalnem trgu za dostavo pošiljk korespondence.
Since in most Member States the operator referred to in point 4.2 is, by virtue of the exclusive rights granted to him, the only operator controlling a public postal network covering the whole territory of the Member State, such an operator has a dominant position within the meaning of Article 86 of the Treaty on the national market for the distribution of items of correspondence.
