Article Abstract:
In reaction to (unconfirmed) reports about the planned closure of 712 post offices in Austria, infrastructure minister Monika Forstinger emphasised that she would have a close look at the Austrian Post's plans. If necessary, she will use the planned new universal service ordinance to put pressure on the Post. The draft, which is to be presented in the autumn 2001, requires post offices to be opened at least on Mondays through Fridays. Moreover, 95% of all mail must be delivered on the following day, 98% within two days after being posted.
