Supported by Peer Steinbrück, Federal chancellor of the Exchequer, Klaus Zumwinkel, leader of the Deutsche Post AG (DPAG,) finally said at loud that he considered asking for the report on the postal market's early liberalization, set by the German government to January 1, 2008. If nothing changes, he is predicting a possible 30,000-job loss and the end of the "universal service". (Ref. 070264)
On the occasion of the presentation of the DPAG previsions on March 20, 2007, in Bonn, Klaus Zumwinkel made his intentions clear: “we are going to defend the slightest letter until our last drop of blood,” he declared, sounding like a tragedian. Currently, the DPAG still holds the monopoly of the transporting of letters up to 50g. in exchange, it is submitted to the law on “universal service,” which forces it to offer the largest part of postal services in each of its 12,000 agencies.
