One of the main attractions at MonacoPhil 2015 was the exhibition of rarities including the famous British Guiana 1 Cent Magenta which was on display. The activities which took place during the three days of the Exhibition attracted more visitors than ever, and the different events organizers were all able to welcome an impressive number of participants. Apart from the AGM of the AEP (Académie Européenne de Philatélie) which took place on the Saturday and which attracted many members, the other events were not short of visitors. As well as the award giving by public auctioneers, the AIJP (the International Association of Philatelic Journalists) also held its AGM.
General view of the exhibition. The theme was Polar Philately with an array of exciting displays from the North and South Polar areas in the exhibition hall of the Car Museum decked in white with ‘icebergs’, a large igloo, polar bears and penguins – although not together ! Photos by Sergey Rodin.
This year’s Monacophil specialized in Polar philately, and it was the first time that a competitive exhibition had been put together on this subject which was also of great interest to non-specialists. Numerous visitors were very surprised, despite the pleasant weather in Monaco, to be immersed in the “Polar” atmosphere. Realistic igloos decorated the exhibition which gave collectors the opportunity to get to know this branch of philately. And the Jury members had the unenviable task of assessing many international-level displays.
The next exhibition, MonacoPhil 2017 is already being planned and is on its way.

Outre l’assemblée générale de l’AEP qui a eu lieu le samedi et où de nombreux membres ont assistés, les autres événements n’ont pas désempli. A côté des remises de prix organisés par des organisateurs de ventes publiques, l’AIJP (Association Internationale des Journalistes Philatéliques) y tenait aussi son assemblée générale.

Cette édition de MonacoPhil avait mis l’accent sur la philatélie polaire avec l’organisation pour la première fois d’une exposition compétitive sur ce thème qui assurément a eu un réel intérêt pour les non spécialistes. Les nombreux visiteurs ont eu la surprise d’être plongé malgré le climat plus que clément à Monaco dans une ambiance polaire. De véritables igloos ont servi de décor à cette exposition par laquelle nombre de collectionneurs ont pu se familiariser avec cette branche de la philatélie. Les membres du jury avaient la difficile tâche de départager des collections de niveau international.
La prochaine exposition MonacoPhil 2017 est d’ores et déjà sur les rails !

Vincent Schouberechts, new Editor forthe FFE Journal
Fakes, Forgeries & Experts Journal (FFE), since 1998 appreciated tool for the fight against and to inform about forgeries, is entering an exciting chapter with such a new editor.
Vincent Schouberechts will take on the challenge of developing FFE into new accomplishments and he is already in progress with the work of the issue #19.
Mr. Schouberechts is a very active collector, especially of philatelic literature and he was one of the organizers of the Literature Exhibition at MonacoPhil 2013. He is also a member of AEP, FRPSL, AIJP and Belgian Academy administrator.
The first issue of FFE was published by Paolo Vollmeier in 1998 and since then over four hundred articles have been written by more than 200 authors. Paolo Vollmeier was succeeded by the Honorary FIP President Knud Mohr, who edited 10 issues and later on by Jonas Hällström. The Journal is one of the most important publications concerning knowledge of fakes and forgeries in the philatelic world. The volumes contain a broad spectrum of articles covering a wide field of philatelic mischief, but also expert insight on interesting and relevant subjects. It has almost become a necessity in the education of jurors.
FFE is, since the start, published in close cooperation with A.I.E.P. who is sending the Journal to all their members.
We look with excitement forward to this new collaboration.
Welcome on board Vincent!
