FRENCH POSTAL organisation La Poste and parcels subsidiary GeoPost have no more than two years in which to complete the development of their European express/parcels network.
That, at least, was the view expressed by Claude Begle, GeoPost general manager, at the recent 12th World Mail & Express Conference.
Deutsche Post AG, the German post office operator, is to launch an
electronic stamp service in about four weeks’ time. The idea behind
the move was to help small and medium-sized companies which did not
want to spend money on franking machines but needed franking

so far been made to Deutsche Post for internet stamps. Christian
Brockert of Deutsche Post said there was also a surprisingly high
number of individuals who had applied for the service.
