from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VIII Universal Postal Congress
Venue Stockholm , Sweden
Period 1924
Duration 56 days
Delegates 182

The eighth Universal Postal Congress took place in Stockholm in 1924 and lasted 56 days. 182 participants were present when the opening ceremony for the 50th anniversary of the association by the Swedish King Gustav V took place.

The congress gave its approval to the new version of the traffic documents, whereby a clear legal basis has been created for the further development of the universal post. Always keeping in mind its cultural responsibilities, the Congress decided to significantly reduce the postage rate for newspapers, magazines, books and academic works, as well as a reduction in the postage rate. The transit costs for letters were also reduced again. The resolutions came into force on October 1, 1925.
