Abusive Stamp Issues 2013
Abusive issues are those that were legally issued by some postal
administrations but they do not comply with the terms of the "Philatelic Code of Ethics for the use by member countries of the Union", established by the WADP and approved in 2008 by all member countries of the UPU. These are stamps that do not meet the internal needs of the countries for their postal traffic and sometimes are not sold in the countries themselves. 2 To our knowledge, for abusive issues there are no reporting procedures similar to those for illegal issues. Indeed, postal administrations are not going to acknowledge having signed contracts that do not comply with the Philatelic Code of Ethics. This important and sometimes difficult task would be the responsibility of organizations representing the collectors, such as WADP, and including one of its components, the International Federation of Philately - FIP. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any action or reaction from WADP in the field of abusive issues, despite its existence for over 15 years. Collectors are presented with a fait accompli, the many abusive issues on the philatelic market, and we observe that we are among the few who deal with these issues. In this short article we try to do our best in presenting the current situation of abusive issues.

IF collectors would think before purchasing such useless material it would soon go away. Collectors themselves are responsible for the production to meet the 'demand' of those that will buy anything to fill 'holes'. J.A.McCulloch, AES, IRE, IATSE, NABET, CAS, IEEE |
