Unchanged prices for Deutsche Post domestic mail

Deutsche Post, the German postal service operator, is planning unchanged prices for inland letter post in 2007, in most cases. Applications for pricing are reported by the company to have been submitted to the German networks regulator, and postage is not due to be increased in the regulated section of mail delivery.

Price increases are reported to be planned for deliveries abroad, but the company has indicated that it does not plan to make full use of its scope to raise the price by 0.2 per cent altogether. Deutsche Post expects the regulator to reach a decision within two weeks.
