e provision for the funding of future shortfalls in the Postal Civil
Service Health Insurance Fund closed to new members since Janu-
ary 1, 1995 comprises the statutory obligation of Deutsche Post AG
and of Deutsche Postbank AG together with another successor of
Deutsche Bundespost. Further information on the new nancing
structure can be found in note 4.
e provision for postage stamps covers outstanding obligations to
customers for mail and parcel deliveries from postage stamps sold but
still unused by customers, and is based on studies by market research
companies. It is measured at the nominal value of the stamps issued.
In scal year 2002, provisions for restructuring measures were recog-
nized as part of the Group-wide STAR value creation program; these
relate primarily to termination benet obligations to employees (par-
tial retirement programs, transitional benets) and expenses from
the closure of terminals.
