It is with great joy that Jill from the agency VidaleGloesener and Emile Espen, Head of POST Philately, saw the block "150th anniversary of John Herkul Grün" issued in 2018 by awarded by a special mention of the Jury in the category Illustration Design at the evening of the Design Awards 2019.

The members of the PostEurop Stamps and Philately Working Group met in Luxembourg for their 2nd meeting of the current year. This on the invitation of Emile Espen, Head of Post Philately and Vice-Chairman of the working group. The participants from 10 different countries had to evacuate a busy agenda. The dish of resistance was the practical and financial modalities of the next Philatelic Forum to be held in May 2020 in Athens. The Forum, held every two years, is an opportunity for European philatelic managers to meet representatives from the world of suppliers on the spot, all within the framework of a two-day conference cycle around a main theme, which will be in 2020 “marketing and communication”.

The initiative to propose the day of the Grand Duke Jean's national funeral a special cancellation mark has found a very wide echo with the population. Throughout the day 04 May the interested parties came to the espace POST of Luxembourg Center to obtain a philatelic souvenir of Grand Duke Jean. The maxima postcard and the souvenir envelope are on sale in the e-shop and philatelic counter until stocks are exhausted.

It was with great pleasure that Claude Strasser, Director general of POST Luxembourg and Hjoerdis Stahl, Deputy Director general , were able to welcome the people present at the official presentation of the stamps issued on April 1, 2019. This pleasant ceremony which consists in the delivery a souvenir frame to the beneficiaries of a stamp is a great way to celebrate the completion of the various projects. The presence of the representatives of the various organizations also shows how much this gesture is appreciated. Received a souvenir frame: Mrs. Lucienne Thommes, Director, for the Cancer Foundation, Mr. Yves Marchi, Assistant Commissioner, for Lëtzebuerger Guiden a Scouten, Mrs. Eliane Fuchs, President, for the Protestant Church, Mr. Dan Biancalana, Mayor of Dudelange , for the stamp "Dominique Lang" and Mrs. Cécile Adam for the Publications Office of the European Union.
