The FFPI (Free Fair Post Initiative) mentioned this week that it welcomed the Commission's prolongation of the 2007 scrutiny on state assist to Deutsche Post to analyze either Deutsche Post AG and its prototype received extreme reward for concept postal service from the supervision bill from 1990 to 2007 and hopes for a rapid and coherent fortitude of the case.
Today's announcement of the Commission's e-mail to Germany and DPAG in the Official Journal allows for third parties to give feedback on the box in the forthcoming month.
the FFPI mentioned that With the full liberalisation of the postal marketplace having kicked off in January 2011, it was critical that the Commission one after another to plunge into obstacles to the real liberalisation of the market, substantiating a turn personification margin for all postal operators.
"Cases such as the one concerning Deutsche Post are necessary to give the horizon for a successful postal liberalisation. It is critical hat Commission takes action against cross-subsidization at the responsibility of the customers, shortening contest in the market", says Philippe Bodson, President of the FFPI.
The FFPI sharp out that the e-mail of the European Commission to Germany and DPAG as published in the Official Journal of the EU outlines that the prolongation especially concerns the subsidies paid by the State to casing the expenses of the pensions of those employees with polite menial status. It remarkable that Germany claims that allowance subsidies indemnify 'legacy costs' from the time when Deutsche Post was a postal administration department and are matching with EU State assist rules. However, Germany moreover authorised an enlarge in regulated e-mail prices especially to casing these costs. The Commission is anxious that this translates into overcompensation of those 'legacy' allowance expenses for Deutsche Post to the loss of competitors.
Especially critical it said, is the fact that DPAG was! compens ated for expenses not usually is to ability of regulated e-mail services but moreover expenses that were incurred is to ability of non-regulated concept services together with blurb services. The regulated e-mail services thus financial expenses that were incurred for non-regulated concept and blurb services.
Further, the FFPI mentioned that stamps in Germany were a few of the many costly amongst the EU Member States approaching to entirely liberalise their marketplace in 2011 whilst at the same time reward payments were since by the German government. The FFPI mentioned that as a result, German consumers were the initial to experience this (cross)subsidisation of expenses and that the European Commission had an critical purpose to fool around in ensuring that consumes recieved a satisfactory treat and that reward payments joined with stamp price rises could have paid for other actions in that Deutsche Post faced more competition, such as the ride and smoothness of packages, for that Germany is one of the cheapest countries.
The FFPI stressed that a swift preference on the box is key to be able to make sure legal faith in a liberalised marketplace and to help marketplace players to comprehend to that expand resources postulated by the State are/are not matching with EU contest rules.
The Free and Fair Post Initiative (FFPI) is a unique European first move that brings together users and competitors of the open postal operators who strongly think in the gain of a liberalised and more aggressive postal market. Th! e FFPI k ey objectives are to secure full liberalisation of postal services and a satisfactory personification margin in the postal zone to stop open postal monopolies to turn into in isolation ones.
