2 Read and translate the text. Ten reasons why the world needs the upu
The Universal Postal Union two years ago celebrating its 130th anniversary and hosting its 23rd Congress, some stocktaking appears to be in order. Though the UPU has certainly changed over the years, what tangible effect has it had on the forces at work in the rapidly changing postal market? How has it benefited member countries and postal customers in general? Could the postal sector continue to evolve, or indeed survive, without the UPU?
To assess the enormous work done by this international organization, Union Postale asked stakeholders from all segments of the postal sector the following two questions: Does the world need the UPU? And how can it become more effective?
For the respondents, the UPU carries out its essential roles by acting as, among other things, defender of the universal service and single postal territory, as well as coordinator, arbitrator, organizer, developer and promoter. What follows is a brief look at what makes the UPU continue to be a necessary and valued organization.

Maintaining a single postal territory
This is regarded as the UPU's "main mission". Since 1874, with the signing of the Treaty of Berne giving birth to the UPU, the membership of new coimtries agreeing to comply with the Regulations governing the exchange of international mail (letters, parcels and other categories) has broadened the concept of the single postal territory. Today, the UPU's 190 member countries make up the largest physical postal network in the world. Under the terminal dues system set up and managed by the UPU, Posts are financially compensated for handling volumes of international mail exchanged with other Posts. To appreciate the scope of this system, just imagine how many bilateral and multilateral agreements there would be without it.
Nevertheless, terminal dues represent only one of the UPU's operational responsibilities. It establishes and maintains close relations with other international bodies such as the World Trade Organization, the International Air Transport Association and the World Customs Organization, with which agreements exist for expediting the transmission and customs clearance of letters and parcels around the world. It also endeavours to satisfy the provisions of the General Agreement on Trade in Services.
"The UPU's strength can be summed up as follows: one need only point to any location in the world, the postal network takes care of the rest. This is possible thanks to the rules defined by the UPU for the forwarding and transit of mail, and to terminal dues". Abdelilah Bousseta, Director, Mail and Courier Division, Moroccan Post.
