Productivity report filled with errors

A report on improving the efficiency of transport and postal services from the government's productivity commission, Produktivitetskommission, is riddled with factual errors. The commission is tasked with streamlining and cutting costs in the public sector, but correspondence between the Transport Ministry and the commission uncovered by Berlingske newspaper suggests that the report is so filled with errors and misinformation that any savings are hard to find. For example, the commission concluded that Danish railway charges for freight transport are twice as high as they are in Germany, when in fact they are half as much, according to the Transport Ministry. The commission also suggested that the government sell its interest in Post Denmark, apparently unaware that Post Denmark merged with Sweden’s Posten to create Post Nord in 2009. – Berlingske
