The document, titled "Guidelines for the usage of Maltese Lira denominated value documents and stamps" is dated 17th October, 2006 and is referenced as Guideline: NECC/0010/06. Of particular interest to us and Postal Historians, is the fact that these guidelines establish the parameters for the currency changeover process from Maltese Lira to the Euro applicable with regards to stored monetary value items/documents. Such things include postage stamps, International Reply Coupons and Postage Paid Envelopes amongst others.

As a result of this exercise, the MPS Committee of the time, amongst other issues, noted that the annual financial outlay being devoted to keeping the MPS web site was not a good example of getting value for money spent and the situation needed to be addressed. In fact since its launching in 2001, the tangible outcome of this initiative had only resulted in a handful of communications and one application for membership. It also transpired that to update the website on a regular basis was going to become an added financial burden on the Society, as this could not be done automatically by the MPS itself but necessitated having to make use of the services of the original web designer for every update.
