French Post thinks it will issue the first lenticular stamp in Europe

Claude Jamet explains the secrets of the lenticular stamp that the French post will issue the next 6 September 2007 for the Rugby World Cup. Tiny lenticules reflect images on a single stamp, varying with the inclination angle. Basically, you watch a short animation.

La Poste says on its Émotion du courrier website that it is the "first European lenticular stamp" (« 1er timbre lenticulaire européen »).

Screen copy on Tuesday, June 26th, 8pm Paris time.

But, with the second 2007 number of La Loupe, the philatelic bulletin of the Post of Switzerland, is included a presentation of the two 27 April 2007 lenticulars stamps for the centenary of the Museum of Communication.

Worse, Netherlands' Post issued two lenticular stamps in February... 2006 ! honoring speed skating olympic champions Yvonne Van Gennip and Ard Schenk.

If the French stamp (cool and adapted for the topic) is a first European something, is it for the number of pictures incorporated ?
