DHL welcomes EC's move

JAKARTA (JP): DHL International hailed yesterday the European Commission's decision to allow Deutsche Post AG to complete its purchase of 22.5 percent of the company.

DHL said in a statement that it believed the investment and future cooperation between the two organizations would significantly benefit customers.

As the first step of the cooperation, beginning July 1, Deutsche Post started offering its express document service, called Express International, co-branded with DHL, in 2,000 German Post offices. This will enable Deutsche Post customers to send documents throughout DHL's network of 227 countries and territories around the world. (hen)
