also intends to put forth candidates for Postal Operations
Council (POC) in the UPU and inquired as to whether or not

candidacies. We responded that the U.S. does not tend to
engage in reciprocal support for candidacies, but that we
would be happy to receive any further information on a Greek
candidate for the POC and that we would ensure that a Greek
candidacy was carefully reviewed.
