On August 14, 1951 the Universal Postal Union submitted a report on its activities for 1950 to the United Nations Economic and Social Council. The Vice-Director-General (Fulke Radice) of UPU announced that the organization had formulated its activities according to the criteria established by ECOSOC; upon its recommendation the Executive and Liaison Committee had approved closer coordination of program with the United Nations and the specialized agencies. Recently the UPU had completed two important tasks: the compiling of a directory of post offices throughout the world, and the fixing of land and sea transit rates by the Technical Transit Committee at its second general meeting June 5 to 16, 1951 at Pontresina. Although dependent upon the decisions of the Brussels Congress, the work program for the following year was seen to consist largely in collecting data and preparing new publications to help underdeveloped countries improve their postal services.
