As you are aware, a final decision on the hosting of the Congress has unfortunately been postponed and will be taken only on 29 August 2016 at an extraordinary meeting of the UPU Council of Administration (CA) in Berne.  A few days prior (on 25 August 2016), the PostEurop Management Board will hold a regular Board meeting.  The various possible scenarios and options for the issue will be explored in detail by the Board.

At this point in time, we would like to inform you that we consider this matter to be of utmost importance and we will continue to closely monitor the developments.  We intend to inform you as soon as we have more information.

Meanwhile, the on-going statutory preparation for the PostEurop Plenary Assembly remains unchanged and current deadlines, including the submission of candidacies for the Management Board elections, are to be respected.   

Should you have any further concerns or queries please do not hesitate to contact our Secretary General, Botond Szebeny.
