La Postes fate has not yet been decided

No decision had been taken by the end of a ministerial meeting on Thursday on the future of the Belgian post office (La Poste). This was because two reports requested by the government from La Poste and its college of commissioners were submitted late, and because budget minister Johan Vande Lanotte was absent.

The ministers decided to meet again, probably on Wednesday. The financial report is expected to highlight the under-capitalisation of all the post office’s subsidiaries, with the exception of Banque de la Poste. Some government members believe that further enquiries will be necessary.
