nomics sees a need for
delaying complete deregu-
lation of the letter market
to ensure a level playing
field in Europe.

gradually be introduced

Africa network.
The Company wins a major
contract from GZS Gesell-
schaft für Zahlungssysteme

vious distribution partners

the assembled computers
from IBM’s main produc-
tion site in Scotland and
delivers them to the British

dealers throughout the rest
of Europe.
