2、e available are given inRecommendation D.67 and D.150. In 3 of Recommendation D.67 and in 3 of Recommendation D.150 theprinciples for remuneration of transit countries by a flat-rate price procedure are given.1.2 Practical methods for implementation in the case of facilities made available by transi

3、t countries are given forthe following points: procedures for ordering facilities; provision of facilities; determining the period of remuneration; accounting; refunds for outages.Throughout this Recommendation the term “facilities” embraces individual circuits and groups of circuits, e.g.groups (12

4、 circuits), supergroups (60 circuits), etc.2 Procedures for ordering facilities2.1 After a preliminary enquiry on availability of facilities, price, etc., the terminal Administrations concernedshould place an order with the transit Administration(s) for the facilities required. Such orders may be se

5、nt preferablyby telex, or otherwise by telegram, or mail.The following information should be given:1) name of the Administration(s) to which the facilities are made available;2) type of service to be provided (telephone, telegraph, telex, data transmission, etc.);3) facilities to be made available (

6、supergroup, group, telephone or telegraph circuit) and the number of suchfacilities;4) type of transmission system used (submarine cable, satellite, etc.);5) section of circuit or group (for multilink circuits);6) expected in-service date;7) preliminary technical information, if available, e.g. date

7、 and time for testing (to be settled by the technicalservices);8) the duration required for temporary provision of facilities.The order for the facilities should be sent well in advance so that the transit Administration(s) will havesufficient time for preparation.2.2 In case of a change or cancella

8、tion of the order, the terminal Administrations should notify the transitAdministration(s) of it as promptly as possible by telex, quoting a specific reference to the original order._1This Recommendation was formerly Recommendation D.152 of the Red Book.2 Fascicle II.1 - Rec. D.1603 Provision of fac

9、ilities3.1 Confirmation of orderThe transit Administration(s), when they received an order, should give confirmation to the terminalAdministrations of the availability of the requested facilities, the price per month or per year, and any other terms andconditions.3.2 Notification of completion of or

10、derWhen a telecommunication facility is being made available, the technical services of the Administrationsconcerned will naturally be in communication with each other as the work progresses. Nevertheless as soon as thefacilities ordered are available a formal notification of the date of completion

11、must be sent by the transitAdministration(s) to all Administrations concerned.4 Determining the period of remuneration4.1 Beginning of the period4.1.1 In accordance with the spirit of Recommendations D.67 and D.150 payment is due when the facilities are madeavailable by the transit Administrations,

12、irrespective of the date on which the terminal Administrations bring thefacilities into service.In cases where the facilities are made available in advance of the ordered date, payment is based on the orderdate.4.1.2 For intercontinental facilities, payment would be due from the day following that o

13、n which the facilities aremade available to the terminal Administrations.Thus for example, a request for the lease of an intercontinental facility for 1 July, would be handled as follows:Date of availability: 24 June Charging: from 2 JulyDate of availability: 10 July Charging: from 11 July4.1.3 For

14、continental facilities, a simplified method should be utilized for remuneration.For the month during which the circuit(s) or the group(s) is(are) made available, terminal Administrationsshould remunerate the transit Administrations which made their facilities available as indicated below: for the wh

15、ole month, if the facilities are made available between the 1st and the 15th; from the 1st of the following month if the facilities are made available between the 16th and the end of thecalendar month.However, within continents bilateral agreements may be made to apply the intercontinental method.4.

16、1.4 Nevertheless, in special circumstances the Administrations concerned may, by special agreement and inkeeping with the basic principles, decide in the best interests of each party concerned on the procedure to be followedin selecting the date on which charging should start. Examples of cases wher

17、e this could apply are:i) When there are several transit sectionsIf, for example, two transit Administrations C and D do not complete their arrangements for makingavailable the facilities requested by terminal Administrations A and B on the same date, it would bereasonable to select the date on whic

18、h the entire transit section becomes operational.ii) Where the circuit orders relate to major projects, e.g. the opening of a new international exchangeIt is recognized that technical services will have a large circuit provision programme to meet which mayextend over a considerable period before the

19、 new facility comes into service. The Administrationsconcerned may agree to the period for remuneration commencing at some later date after the facilities havebeen furnished.4.2 Determination of the duration of the period of remunerationThe period during which facilities are made available should be

20、 determined as follows:4.2.1 Facilities made available on a permanent basis intercontinentalIn calculating the period during which facilities are made available, one month shall mean one calendar month.Moreover, the day on which the facility is made available shall not be reckoned, whereas the day o

21、n which the facilityFascicle II.1 - Rec. D.160 3is withdrawn shall be reckoned as a full day. Thus, a period of availability covering one month or more is calculated asfollows:a) count the number of days beginning on the day following the day on which the facility was made availableuntil the end of

22、the month;b) thereafter count the number of full calendar months, if any; andc) count the number of service days in the last month, including the day on which the facility was withdrawn.As regards charging: full calendar months are subject to the monthly rental; fractions of a month shall be subject

23、 to a daily charge equal to 1/30th of the monthly rental;Examples are given in Table 1/D.160.4.2.2 Facilities made available on a permanent basis continentalIn calculating the period during which facilities are made available, one month shall mean one calendar month.When the facilities are made avai

24、lable between the 1st and 15th of the month, remuneration shall be for the wholemonth. When the facilities are made available between the 16th and the end of the calendar month, remuneration shallcommence from the 1st of the following month.When the facilities are withdrawn between the 1st and 15th

25、of the month, remuneration shall be made to theend of the previous month. When withdrawn between the 16th and the end of the calendar month, remuneration shallbe made for the whole month.4.2.3 Facilities made available on a temporary basisBy agreement between the Administrations concerned, it is pos

26、sible to make facilities available for a period ofless than one month.In calculating the period during which facilities are made available on a temporary basis, one day shall mean aperiod of 24 consecutive hours.The period during which a facility is made available should be calculated in multiples o

27、f 24 hours, the periodstarting from the time at which the facility is made available until the time at which it is withdrawn. If the number ofdays thus obtained contains a fraction of 24 hours, it should be rounded up to the next whole number.Examples:Circuit made available on 1 June, at 09.00 hours

28、, cleared on 5 June at 09.00 hours:4 24 hours, i.e. 4 chargeable days.Circuits made available on 1 June, at 09.00 hours, cleared on 5 June at 11.00 hours:(4 days + 2/24 day) i.e. 5 chargeable days.The remuneration shall be equal to 1/30th of the monthly rental for each day of the period of availabil

29、ity2_2In order to simplify accounting methods and to stimulate mutual assistance among Administrations, the administrative andtechnical costs of establishing temporary circuits are not included. By special agreements between Administrations, these costs may,however, be recovered through a surcharge

30、or installation charge equivalent to 2/30ths of the monthly rental.4 Fascicle II.1 - Rec.

32、onthly rental4.3 End of period of availabilityThe period during which facilities are made available on a permanent basis will be terminated by the advice ofthe terminal Administrations. The notice of cancellation should normally be given to the transit Administration(s) onemonth in advance of the ef

33、fective date of termination.However, the period of availability for facilities provided on a temporary basis will end on the date and timeagreed upon in advance.5 Accounting5.1 In the absence of a specific agreement and notwithstanding the procedure described in Recommendation D.170,accounts are dra

34、wn up separately where remuneration is made on a flat-rate basis. A quarterly statement showing theoverall balance for the period to which the statement applies is drawn up by the creditor Administration and two copiesare sent to the debtor Administration which, after verification, returns one copy

35、with its notice of acceptance.5.2 However, an agreement may be made between the Administrations concerned for the terminal Administrationsto credit the transit Administration(s) with the sums due to them, through the ordinary monthly accounts. In specialcases, only one of the terminal Administration

36、s may credit the transit Administration(s) with the total remuneration dueby means of regular monthly accounts and debit the other terminal Administration.5.3 There may also be specific cases, e.g. facilities made available on a temporary basis, provision of mutual aidfacilities, where the Administr

37、ations concerned may agree that the country providing the facility should debit thecountry of origin.6 Refunds for outages6.1 Need for rapid restoration of serviceWhen an outage occurs, the Administrations providing facilities should make every effort to restore interruptedfacilities, or to make ava

38、ilable at no extra charge the same facilities on an alternative routing, either through their ownterritory or through third countries.Fascicle II.1 - Rec. D.160 56.2 Intercontinental outages6.2.1 Automatic refunds will not be made. However, when an outage in a transit country exceeds 24 hours and th

39、eAdministration of that country has not restored the facilities, the terminal Administration is entitled to claim a refund,particularly if it had to provide substitute facilities at its own expense.This refund is calculated on the basis of 1/30th of the monthly rental per day or part of a day for th

40、e facilitieswhich were temporarily interrupted.6.2.2 When a transit Administration provides one or more intercontinental sections and an outage occurs in one ofthem, it shall refund for all the facilities it provides (including any continental section) and not solely for the section onwhich the fail

41、ure occurred.6.2.3 When several countries are involved in making transit facilities available, only the Administration of the transitcountry in which the outage occurred shall be liable to pay a refund in the conditions set out above. If an outage occurssimultaneously in more than one country, the Administrations of those countries will be liable if a refund is claimed.6.3 Continental outagesThere will be no refunds for outages.However, within continents, bilateral agreements may be made to apply the intercontinental method.
