Since Wednesday 1st August 2007, the non-priority interior mail rate does not more exist in Belgium for common users. You have to send your letters in priority rate, that exists there under the brand "PRIOR" printed on the stamps or on a label se-tenant.
The Belgian that used the non-Prior rates is affecting with a 0,06 € increase for a simple letter under 50 grams (0,52 € prior), and respecting some dimensions. Don't respect this standard at the same weight, the franking will cost you 1,02 € per letter.
To help the use of remaining 0,46 € stamps, a new stamps of the Buzin's Birds was issued last 9th July. It represents a little owl (Athene noctua, Harry Potter's effect ?) painted by André Buzin, like all the stamps of this definitive series since 1985.
In an answer to the RTBF, La Poste/De Post explains this suppression by its efficiency : thank to the modernization of his mail sorting, 95 % of Belgian interior letters are delivered the next day.
