The French post office said it is eyeing partnerships with other postal utilities in Europe following the announcement on Thursday of a tie-up with Post Sweden in the parcels and express sectors. ‘Scandinavia is a very important market for package delivery services and the agreement we’ve reached with Post Sweden extends our European network to some 23 countries,’ La Poste president Martin Vial told Reuters in an interview. La Poste’s external growth activities, particularly in Germany and the U.K., and its partnership agreements in southern Europe, with the Italian and Spanish post offices, signed earlier this year, and now in Scandinavia, with Post Sweden, give the French operator the leading, integrated rapid transport networks in Europe, Vial said.
