Answer: The Vatican City post office released its first EUROPA stamps in 1969. It was not until 1993 when the EUROPA stamps became an annual Vatican stamp issue. But, what are EUROPA stamps? EUROPA stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations and bears the official EUROPA logo, a 'PostEurop' (Association of European Public Postal Operators) registered trademark in which Europe is the central theme. EUROPA stamps underlines cooperation in taking into account promotion of philately. They also build awareness of the common roots, culture and history of Europe and its common goals. As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world. Since the first issue in 1956, EUROPA stamps have been a tangible symbol of Europe’s desire for closer integration and cooperation. In 1993, 'PostEurop' became responsible for issuing EUROPA stamps. That is when the Vatican began to participate annually. Each year, 'PostEurop's' Stamps & Philately Working Group selects the EUROPA stamp theme. For example: The theme for 1969 - Architectual Type Colonnade; 1993 - Contemporary Art; 2021 - Endangered National Wildlife.
