The Recommendation D.140 contains several principles and among them it recommends that information relative to accounting rates for the intemational automatic telephone service should be made available on a voluntary basis to the Director of CCITT in an aggregated format, in accordance with the guidelines set out in Annex 2 to assist CCITT studies into accounting rate movements.

4.

Annex 2 of Recommendation D.140 is reproduced as an attachment to this Circular.

As it is indicated in Annex 2, administrations/RPOAS have the choice between two patterns to provide information. One is the stribution and movement of automatic telephone accounting rates (see Appendix 1 to Annex 2) and the other is global accounting rate percentage movement (see Appendix 2 to Annex 2).

Consequently, the replies received will be treated In such a way that your Administration/RPCA's name, number of relations or number of traffic minutes do not appear in the final presentation format.
