Published verdict
Delete

The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance implements the Postal Organisation Act by defining the Post group, requiring the Post to retain capital, voting and board majorities over subsidiaries entrusted with universal postal and payment-service obligations, subjecting subsidiary statutes to federal oversight, imposing federal-style executive pay rules, and setting one-off transition rules for taxation, opening balances, pension allocation and accounting during the 2012 conversion and spin-off of PostFinance.

Verdict reason
This is a managerial-control ordinance built around state ownership, political supervision and pay regulation rather than competition or consumer choice. Its core mechanisms entrench centralized control of Post subsidiaries, while its transitional provisions are largely one-off and therefore obsolete after the 2012 restructuring. The combination of obsolete transition rules and ongoing bureaucratic micromanagement makes the ordinance a poor institutional framework worth deleting in full.
