AMSTERDAM, June 5 (Reuters) - The Dutch parliament passed the country's new postal law on Tuesday, scrapping the remaining monopoly of mail company TNT NV in the Netherlands.

The law is due to take effect from January 2008 but includes an "emergency break" procedure to delay it if the government determines that TNT is hindered from effectively competing abroad, particularly in Germany.

TNT currently has a monopoly on letters up to 50 grams -- around half of the 2 billion euro ($2.7 billion) Dutch postal market.
