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 com-
panies through the Federal Ministry of Finance. It is therefore 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 pro-
gramme, 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. Since  January , the BAnstPT has undertaken
the tasks of the special pension fund for postal civil servants (Post-
beamtenversorgungskasse). e fund makes pension and assistance
payments to the beneciaries and their surviving dependents allo-
cated to the Deutsche Bundespost successor companies. Further
disclosures on the special pension fund for postal civil servants
can be found in Note . 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 Fehlsubventio nierung im
Wohnungs wesen (German Acts on the Reduction of Mis directed
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  permanent transfers (previous year: )
and  secondments with the aim of a permanent transfer in 

e federal government holds around   of the shares of
Deutsche Telekom  directly and indirectly (via KfW). A control
relationship exists between Deutsche Telekom  and the federal
government because the federal government, despite its non-con-
trolling interest, has a secure majority at the Annual General Meet-
ing 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 trans-
port services for letters and parcels) for Deutsche Telekom  and
purchased goods and services (such as  products) from Deutsche
Telekom .
