What is Europa / CEPT?
|
 |
EUROPA stamps are special
stamps issued by European postal administrations / enterprises under
the aegis of PostEurop which have Europe as their central theme.
EUROPA stamps should underline cooperation in the domain of posts,
particularly as regards the promotion of philately. They also
contribute to making the public aware of the common roots, culture
and history of Europe and its common goals. As such, EUROPA stamp
issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the
world.

site.

 What is the Europa Study Unit? 
|
A stamp club for all who are interested
in the philatelic manifestations of the Europa ideal
of political, economic, and social integration of Europe. Europa
collectors may limit themselves to just the annual 'themed' issues for
Europa, but an expanded collection will also include forerunners (such as advocates of unity, previous attempts at unity, sporting events, etc.) and
current issues that commemorate organizations and events that relate
to the unification of Europe.
We are an affiliate of the American Philatelic Society (APS) and the
American Topical Association (ATA). You do not need to join those organizations to become a member of the ESU.
