Deutsche Post CTT Joint Ventures Cleared Under Foreign Subsidies Regulation
Summary
The European Commission cleared the proposed joint ventures between Deutsche Post and CTT under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (Regulation 2022/2560). The provisional deadline and suspension period expired on 27 April 2026 without opposition, meaning the concentration may proceed. The case covered economic activities in road freight transport (NACE H.49.41) and other postal and courier activities (NACE H.53.2).
Companies considering concentrations involving potential foreign subsidies should be aware that the Foreign Subsidies Regulation imposes suspension obligations until the provisional deadline expires. The absence of an in-depth investigation in this case (Deutsche Post/CTT) indicates the Commission found no sufficient indications of distortive foreign subsidies at the initial review stage.

What changed
The European Commission did not oppose the proposed joint ventures between Deutsche Post and CTT, allowing the transaction to proceed after the provisional deadline under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation expired on 27 April 2026. The case was notified on 18 March 2026 and was reviewed under Regulation 2022/2560 covering road freight transport and postal/courier activities.
Parties involved in concentrations that may involve foreign subsidies should ensure compliance with the notification and suspension obligations under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The expiration of the provisional deadline without an in-depth investigation indicates no prima facie concerns about foreign subsidy distortion in this case.
