The court ruled that collectors had a right to be warned, even if this opposed the interests of the dealers. By 1970, several FIP members complained about the list and East Germany requested that the list be stricken from the records and the commission dissolved. The role of the commission was changed to a Commission for Prevention of Forgeries and Undesirable Issues. What FIP or any other body of collectors or dealers must realize is that no one can dictate to the postal administrations what they should or should not issue as stamps. Not even the UPU can do this.
Every postal administration has the right to issue whatever it pleases.
The market and need for the issue will tell the individual postal administration whether or not it made the correct decision. They can't afford that luxury. We have no problem for those who wish to buy these issues, knowing what they are buying and collecting, but unfortunately, many of these products are being sold to unsuspecting consumers. Not the stamp trade, since it was a speculator who was the seller. This has happened many times to many dealers.
