Estonian post endorses list of post offices to be closed
Supervisory board of Eesti Post (Estonian Post) Friday endorsed the list of 44 post offices to be closed as of November 1.
“The decision on the closure is naturally unpopular but Eesti Post must achieve sustainability and prepare for 2009 when the post market opens,” said Meelis Atonen, chairman of the supervisory board.
He said the discussion was tense and strained but the supervisory board fully supported the present management’s plan of reforms.
Closure of the post offices is part of Eesti Post’s austerity program. The mail company has 540 post offices at present.
