Europe

Did you know that the Europa stamps had a little brother on the American continent ?

Since 1989, the member countries of the Postal Union of the Americas, Spain and Portugal (UPAEP) issue the so called America-UPAEP stamps.

As the Europa stamps, each country issue a single or a set of stamps following a common theme. Each stamp bears, the word "America" and/or just the "UPAEP" logo.

Two European countries are member of the UPAEP: Portugal and Spain. Portugal took part only a few years at the America-UPAEP issues - 7 times between 1993 and 2003 as Spain is taking part non-stop since 1989.

This year's common theme is : "National symbols".

If somebody want's to swap America stamps with me for Europa stamps, don't hesitate to contact me ! :o)

"Portugal issue Europa stamps since 1960. From 1961, 1962 and 1963, they didn't follow the common design, having their own."

"Since 1977 they also issue a souvenir sheet with every issue."

"The autonomous island of Madeira and the archipelago of the Azores issue also Europa stamps since 1981. Their issuing programme is closely linked with the one of Portugal."
