e Bundesanstalt für Post und Telekommunikation
(BAnstPT) is a government agency and falls under the technical
and legal supervision of the German Federal Ministry of Finance.
Under the Bundesanstalt-Reorganisationsgesetz (German Federal
Agency Reorganisation Act), which entered into force on  Decem-
ber , the Federal Republic of Germany directly undertakes
the tasks relating to holdings in Deutsche Bundespost successor
companies through the Federal Ministry of Finance. It is there-
fore no longer necessary for the BAnstPT to perform the “tasks
associated with ownership”. e BAnstPT manages the social
facilities such as the Postal Civil Service Health Insurance Fund,
the recreation programme, the Versorgungsanstalt der Deutschen
Bundespost  and the welfare service for Deutsche Post ,
Deutsche Postbank  and Deutsche Telekom , as well as
setting the objectives for social housing. e tasks are performed
on the basis of agency agreements. In , Deutsche Post  was
invoiced for  million (previous year:  million) in instalment
payments relating to services provided by the BAnstPT.

In nancial year , the German Federal Ministry of
Finance and Deutsche Post  entered into an agreement that
governs the terms and conditions of the transfer of income received
by Deutsche Post  from the levying of the settlement payment
under the Gesetze über den Abbau der Fehlsubventionierung im
Wohnungs wesen (German Acts on the Reduction of Misdirected
Housing Subsidies) relating to housing benets granted by
Deutsche Post . Deutsche Post  transfers the amounts to
the federal government on a monthly basis.
Deutsche Post  also entered into an agreement with the
Federal Ministry of Finance dated  January  relating to the
transfer of civil servants to German federal authorities. Under this
agreement, civil servants are seconded with the aim of transferring
them initially for six months, and are then transferred permanently
if they successfully complete their probation. Once a permanent
transfer is completed, Deutsche Post  contributes to the cost
incurred by the federal government by paying a at fee. In ,
this initiative resulted in eleven permanent transfers (previous
year: ) and  secondments with the aim of a permanent transfer
in  (previous year: ten).

e federal government holds around   of the shares of
Deutsche Telekom  directly and indirectly (via KfW Banken-
gruppe). A control relationship exists between Deutsche Telekom
and the federal government because the federal government,
despite its non-controlling interest, has a secure majority at
the Annual General Meeting due to its average presence there.
Deutsche Telekom is therefore a related party of Deutsche Post
. In nancial year , Deutsche Post DHL provided goods
and services (mainly transport services for letters and parcels) for
Deutsche Telekom  and purchased goods and services (such as
 products) from Deutsche Telekom.

Deutsche Bahn  is wholly owned by the German govern-
ment. Owing to this control relationship, Deutsche Bahn  is a
related party to Deutsche Post . Deutsche Post DHL has various
business relationships with the Deutsche Bahn Group. ese
mainly consist of transport service agreements.
