Deutsche Post World Net AG said it is too early to assess whether it may see a possible strategic partnership with Austria’s postal service, in response to a report in Die Welt newspaper. ‘One problem is that there is a plethora of people involved, who all have or want to have a say in this to some degree,’ a spokesman for Deutsche Post said. Die Welt said today that Oesterreichische Post chief Anton Weis will propose a partnership with Deutsche Post, and specifically its express courier unit DHL, to the supervisory board today.

Austria’s postal service will propose setting up a strategic partnership with Deutsche Post World Net AG, allowing the German company to get a foothold on the Austrian market after its attempt to buy a 25 pct stake in its counterpart failed, Die Welt newspaper reported. In an article to appear in tomorrow’s edition, the paper said Oesterreichische Post chief Anton Weis will propose a partnership with Deutsche Post, and specifically its express courier unit DHL.
Oesterreichische Post’s 100 pct owner, Austrian state holding company OeIAG, will decide on possible cooperation on Sept 17, the newspaper said.
