Greece elected chair of the next Postal Operations Council
Greece will chair the next Postal Operations Council of the Universal Postal Union, in the person of Dr. Andreas Taprantzis, Chief Executive Office of the Greek postal operator, ELTA.
The 40 member countries newly elected to the Postal Operations Council held their first meeting to elect their chair, a position Great Britain, Greece and Switzerland were vying for.
Greece received 22 votes against 18 for Great Britain in the second round of voting.
In thanking the members for their support, Taprantzis added that Greece would devote itself and its resources for the benefit of the UPU and all its member countries.
The Postal Operations Council deals with technical and operational issues affecting the international postal sector. It promotes the introduction of new postal products and makes recommendations to member countries concerning standards for technological, operational or other processes. The Council’s programme of work aims above all at helping postal services to modernize and upgrade their postal products.
