Deutsche Post rivals seek more access to mail sorting and delivery

At least two competitors of Deutsche Post World Net AG want to have more access to the mail sorting, consolidating and delivery business, according to Financial Times Deutschland, citing Post rival GLS.

GLS chief executive Rico Back said he is confident GLS would be able to force Deutsche Post to open up its monopoly in this area.

Meanwhile Consultancy firm DID Vedat Deniz, which specialises in postal monopoly issues, told the same newspaper it is acting on behalf of a second interested party which is also seeking access to the logistics company.
