French Finance Minister says time to reform La Poste

French Finance Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Tuesday that it’s “high time” the country’s state-owned postal company La Poste is reformed. Speaking at a news conference, Sarkozy said, “Ten years after Germany started postal reform, yes, I think it’s high time. “People might say it’s difficult but look at some of the reforms that have been carried out at (partly state-owned) companies like Air France, Renault and France Telecom. These have been successes…people who work there understand that,” the minister said.
