					Postal Administrations at the Fair (September 14 – 16th) The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) is issuing its tenth so-called white card. It has participated at every annual fair, so anyone who has been buying the postcards since 1998 now has a nicely rounded collection. In accordance with tradition, Sunday, 16 September will be United Nations Day at the fair.
