Mon, Jun 23 2008 18:03 CET 267 Views

International courier company TNT announced intentions to station its new logistics complex for Eastern Europe in Bulgaria, TNT Airways managing director for Eastern Europe Niki Terzakis was quoted by Bulgarian daily Dnevnik as saying on June 23 2008.

Terzakis said that the need for the new depot meshed well with plans for aggressive expansion in Bulgaria, as well as with the availability of a score of high-profile clients with potential interest in using the hub.

According to Terzakis, the main predicament to the development of the transport and courier services were heavy bureaucracy, public administration's inflexibility and the complicated regulatory regimes.

In Bulgaria, TNT is present only through its express transportation services division, its postal business yet to set foot in Bulgaria.

In related news, TNT's international rival DHL announced it would allow Bulgaria's Customs Agency full access for tracking parcels. The motion will be legitimised through an annex to the 2000 memorandum between DHL and the Customs Agency aimed at fighting drug trafficking.
