Oxford Economics Report - The Economic Impact of Express Carriers in Europe (2011)Some 47% of European firms consider that their company would be very badly affected by the various ways in which the constraints on the availability of express services would impact on them, and around 74% consider their ability to compete would be either very badly or quite badly affected.
If government regulations were to mean that international next-day delivery services were no longer available:
16% of German companies expect they would lose orders.
12% of Polish companies would consider shifting some of their operations to a location where international next-day delivery services were available. For the Netherlands, this number is nearly up to 30%.
Independent researchers have estimated that restrictions that led to international next-day delivery services no longer being available in Europe could cut GDP each year by:
€5 billion in France
€4 billion in the UK
€3 billion in Italy
It is therefore estimated that the loss of express services would reduce GDP across the EU by more than €30 billion a year.
