    Additional:

    *The Multilaterale is an initiative that came from the Philatelist Associations of the German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg) as well of Slovenia and the Netherlands.

    In 2017 year, the Dutch Philatelist Association and the Dutch Post Office organise the exhibition from the 25th to 27th of August in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Because Luxembourg will be organising the next exhibition in 2019, PostNL and POST Luxembourg issued for this matter a joint postage stamp block for 2017.

    __________

    The design of the souvenir sheet, with the exception of the postage marks of the Netherlands, completely repeats the Luxembourg one.
