On 1 October 2007, the definitive series began the point system. At this time, one point was 0.52 euro, now 0.54 euro. Here you have a postcard sent to France for 1.08 euro !!! I think the sender was lost in this system as I was wondering what labels were under my eyes until I remember the Belgian recent history. From Belgium to France, a postcard only need 0.80 euro (0.65 euro from France to Belgium).
The system applied to "special series" (the philatelic program) too if they bore a value multiple of the point's value.
A new step was taken last 2 January 2009: the European points and Worldwide points appeared for the European and worodlwide rates that are not multiples of the Interior point.
"1" in a European flag or 0.80 euro.
"1" in a globe or 0.90 euro.
Because I do not follow the philatelic program of Belgium, I do not know what to think of this system? Are the circled points well included into the stamp design? Do clients accept this system without being spoiled?
