Deutsche Post has announced it will close 1,000 of its 13,000 post office branches and remove thousands of mailboxes from around the country. The new program is supposed to save EUR1.3 billion and comes in response to them being ordered by the European Commission to repay EUR572 million in illegal subsidies. Interest on the sum, payable to the German government, raises the total to EUR850 million. The subsidies took the form of stamp prices that, according to Germany’s postal regulator, exceeded the theoretical market-bearing price. DP was found guilty of using these monopoly profits to expand its logistics business. In addition to the EU fine, DP was forced to lower its average rates for letters and packages up to 1,000 grams (2.2 pounds) by 4 percent.
