      <title>Agreement on conditions of employment in postal sector still too soft</title>
      <link>http://group.tnt.com/press/414043/pressrelease.aspx</link>
      <description>Amsterdam, TNT Post cannot accept the agreement reached today by Sandd, Deutsche Post and a number of trade unions on terms and conditions of employment in the postal sector. This agreement, which neither TNT Post nor Netwerk VSP were involved in reaching, is in no way different from the agreement in principle made on 24 April 2008 in that it is still too soft and offers an insufficient basis for solid terms and conditions of employment. Accordingly, TNT Post and its subsidiary Netwerk VSP, as well as ABVAKABO, the trade union with the most members in the postal sector, do not support this agreement.</description>

      <title>Fuel-efficient driving can reduce CO2 emission levels by as much as 25%</title>
      <link>http://group.tnt.com/press/413038/pressrelease.aspx</link>
      <description>Hoofddorp, TNT research shows that a single TNT pick up and delivery (PUD) driver can reduce their C02 emissions by as much as 25% by driving more efficiently. As a result fuel consumption and therefore costs can decrease by 25% as well.&amp;nbsp; TNT has therefore launched a global drivers competition to increase awareness amongst the ten-thousands of own drivers and sub-contractors to engage and encourage them to drive both safely and more fuel efficiently. The international competition is called Drive Me Challenge and is part of TNT’s comprehensive program to cut emissions, Planet Me. On 12 November 2008, the winners of eleven local Drive Me Challenges will compete in the final for the title of TNT’s Best Pick up and Delivery driver of the year 2008 near Milan in Italy.</description>

      <title>Draft bill regarding value added tax in the German postal market: TNT Post demands improvements</title>
      <link>http://group.tnt.com/press/404629/pressrelease.aspx</link>
      <description>Amsterdam/Ratingen, TNT Post in principle welcomes the fact that the German Federal Government is revising the VAT regulation in the postal market.
