The main task of the congress, to expand the facilities of the association and the international postal service, was solved with the strong cooperation of the German representatives with the success that a wealth of relief was achieved for the postal users. These came into effect on July 1, 1930. The airmail service now played an important role, the handling of which a world airmail conference in Haag in autumn 1927 had already agreed on intergovernmental agreements on the carriage of letter mail and postal parcels.
