Small European Postal Administration Cooperation
- Small European Postal Administration Cooperation
The Small European Postal Administration Cooperation (also Small European Postal Administrations Cooperation or SEPAC) is a group of small European postal authorities. They are Åland, the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Greenland, Guernsey, Iceland, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco and San Marino. SEPAC is smaller than PostEurop, an association of some 43 European postal authorities. Luxembourg was not originally a member of SEPAC, but it joined at the end of 2006.
The first joint issue of SEPAC postage stamps will occur on October 1, 2007. Further joint issues within the group are scheduled every two years, in 2009 and 2011. (San Marino is not participating in the initial issue.)
The following criteria are requisites for membership:
* The postal administration must be located in Europe
* The postal administration must be independent
* The postal administration must have a small market with more than 50% of its philatelic customers living outside the country
The Secretary of SEPAC is Andrée Valentine, Jersey Post's Head of Philatelic Services.
