15、on should then consult with the selected third Administration on the possibility of the latter to effect payment of its debt to another Administration through balance clearing. 2.4 If the selected Administration is in agreement with the balance clearance, it shall send a reply by telex or facsimile

16、to the Administration that made the consultation and one copy thereof to the Administration that will receive the payment. 2.5 The payment of balance of account to be settled through compensation should be effected by the Administration that committed itself to do so, taking into account the date re

17、quired for effecting the payment which should not exceed the delays prescribed in the Regulations. The creditor Administration should notify the debtor Administration on the effective settlement of the debt. 2.6 If the payment is not effected within that period, the original debtor will assume respo

18、nsibility for settlement of balances of accounts being due in accordance with Q 3.3.1 of Appendix 1 to the International Telecommunications Regulations. 2.7 The balance clearance can involve more than one intervening Administration if the credit involved in clearing is not sufficient for settlement of the original debt.
