Postal Operations Council

The Postal Operations Council (POC) is the technical and operational mind of the UPU and consists of 48 member countries, elected during Congress. The body elects its own chair and meets annually at the UPU’s headquarters in Berne.

The POC’s work programme is geared towards helping Posts modernize and upgrade their postal products and services. It deals with the operational, economic and commercial aspects of the postal business. The body also makes recommendations to member countries on standards for technological, operational or other processes within its competence where uniform practices are necessary.

Chair

The Postal Operations Council Chair for the current work cycle is France, represented by Jean-Paul Forceville, Director of European and International Relations, La Poste France.

Director of European and International Relations, La Poste Group (France)

Since January 2011, Mr. Forceville has been chairing the Board of Directors of PostEurop. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of PUMed.
