Sources & verification
Partially verifiedResearch notes: The official notice identifies the printer as “Printed Ltd.” The intended company has not been independently confirmed, so the printer is omitted. The issue marks seventy years of EUROPA stamps; the notice’s separate claim of a seventieth anniversary for PostEurop is not repeated.
