Fédération Internationale de Philatélie

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) is the world federation of national philatelic associations.

History and structure

The association was founded on June 18, 1926 by seven European philatelic associations (Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia). The association is managed by the board of directors with a president and a vice-president. The FIP is organized in the legal form of an association under Swiss law and has its seat in Zurich . The FIP Congress is held every year at an international stamp exhibition sponsored by the FIP. In 2014, 87 national associations were members, plus the three continental associations FEPA (Europe), FIAF (America), FIAP (Asia).
