Post Danmark: Commission opens State aid investigation
Following a complaint about measures allegedly granted to Post Danmark, the Commission found in 2018 that a €134 million (DKK 1 billion) capital injection in February 2017 from PostNord Group AB into Post Danmark did not constitute State aid. The decision was partially annulled by the General Court in May 2021 with the finding that the Commission did not conduct a sufficient examination of the capital injection and should have opened a formal investigation procedure. The Court of Justice confirmed the judgment in November 2022.
In line with the Court judgment, the Commission will now further investigate the capital injection and analyse imputable to the Danish and Swedish State and conformity with the MEOP.
The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.47707 in the State aid register.
