Regardless of all methodological objections, Germany considers that the WIK study confirms Germany's point of view that the public transfers were necessary as compensation for Deutsche Post's losses with its universal services in the period 1990-1995.
Metoodilistest vastuväidetest hoolimata leiab Saksamaa, et WIKi hinnang kinnitab Saksamaa seisukohta, mille kohaselt olid riiklikud hüvitised Deutsche Posti poolt universaalteenuste osutamise tõttu 1990.–1995. aastal kantud kahjumi hüvitamiseks vajalikud.
