This chapter describes the historical background and the structure of European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations. The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations were established in 1959 by the administrations of 19 European States. As early as 1951, the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe, which promoted European unification by way of sectoral integration, had proposed the creation of a European Postal Union. In 1955, the French Minister for postal, telegraph, and telephone services proposed the establishment of a permanent conference of Ministers of Posts, and Telecommunications to the members of the Council of Europe. However, both plans failed to secure the necessary acceptance among states. The conference is an international body of a technical nature. Under Article 3 of the Arrangement, membership is open only to European postal and telecommunications administrations that are members of the Universal Postal Union, or the International Telecommunication Union. To become a member, a European postal and telecommunications administration needs, after signing the Arrangement, to confirm its signature and ratification is not required.
