11、pplied to telegrams exchanged between them, it is recommended that they take into consideration: for the determination of accounting rate shares and accounting rates, the provisions of clause 2 of this Recommendation; for fixing the collection charges, the provisions contained in clause 3 of this Re
12、commendation. - - Clause 4 of this Recommendation contains special provisions concerning charges and accounting for certain telegrams or special services. The standard rates given in this Recommendation are expressed in the monetary unit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Special Drawing
13、Right (SDR). In accordance with the International Telecommunication Regulations, the gold franc is equivalent to V3.061 SDR. 11 Recommendation D.302 R (03/95) ITU-T RECMNxD-302 R 95 4Bb259L Ob00060 BLL Recommendation D.302 R DETERMINATION OF THE ACCOUNTING RATE SHARES AND COLLECTION CHARGES FOR THE

15、mmendation 2 Determination of accounting rate shares applicable to telegrams exchanged between countries in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin Preliminary remarks Through a cost study undertaken in 1982 relative to this region, it was found that in the per-word tariff system, the cost price per-word
16、 per terminal country is 0.363 SDR Fr. and that in the binary tariff system, the cost pnce per terminal country is 4.90 SDR for the fixed charge of a telegram and 0.18 SDR for the charge per-word. However, since such an increase of the accounting rates would necessarily lead to a rather sharp increa
17、se of the collection charges, Administrations have decided on an exceptional basis to recommend only a lower increase of the accounting rates at this time. 2.1 The accounting rate shares may be determined either on the basis of a rate per-word system or by applying a binary tariff system. The recomm
18、ended standard rates for both systems are given below. 2.1.1 2.1.1.1 Terminal shares For ordinary private telegrams without any special service, the terminal share per-word per terminal country is fixed at: Standard rates to be applied for international accounting Accounting rate shares determined b
19、y the per-word tariff system - 0.229SDR. l) Countries in the Mediterranean Basin are countries not belonging to Europe but bordering the Mediterranean Sea. *) The standard rates given in this Recommendation were approved in 1984.

20、L 758 2.1.1.2 Transit shares For ordinary private telegrams without any special service, the recommended transit share per-word, per country is: - transit via a gentex transit centre: 0.004 SDR - manual transit: O. 144 SDR - transit via a telegram retransmission centre (automatic retransmission of m
21、essages)3). These shares are not cumulative; they are based on an average length of 1000 km for the international transit circuits. 2.1.2 2.1.2.1 General To take account of the fact that for every telegram there are two types of cost: Accounting-rate shares determined by the binary tariff system4) -
22、 - fixed costs for acceptance and delivery; variable costs depending on the length of the text for transmission and reception and for the use of the telegraph network. The recommended standard rates for the binary tariff system are those given in 2.1.2.2 and 2.1.2.3 below. 2.1.2.2 Terminai shares Th
23、e shares due to each terminal country for ordinary private telegrams without any special service: - fixed rate per telegram: 3.10 SDR - rate per-word: 0.1 14 SDR. These shares were established on the assumption of an average number of 27 words per telegram. 2.1.2.3 Transit shares Transit shares are
24、determined in accordance with the provisions of 2.1.1.2 above. 2.2 Transit facilities are made available to Administrations only on the basis of the flat-rate price procedure. Special provisions concerning transit shares 2.3 Accounting rate Because transit shares for automatic transit are small and
25、because most transit facilities made available among the Administrations of countries in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin are remunerated on a flat-rate basis, it is recommended that a single accounting rate fixed by adding together the shares of the two terminal countries should be applied to tel
26、egrams exchanged between those countries. The shares payable to the transit countries, if any, are deducted from the share of the country of origin. 3, Administrations providing this service indicate the shares they apply for the use of their telegram retransmission centre in the 4, It is pointed ou
27、t that application of a binary tariff system should normally entail in the relation concerned, if necessary by bilateral Table of Rates for Telegrams 11 published by the ITU. arrangements: - - - discontinuation of a minimum charge per telegram; discontinuation of letter telegrams and press telegrams
28、; discontinuation of reduced charges for all telegrams except those concerning persons protected in time of war by the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 (RCT). 2 Recommendation D.302 R (03/95) ITU-T RECMN*D=302 R 95 = 4862571 0600062 694 3 Determination of collection charges applicable to telegra
29、ms exchanged between countries in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin 3.1 General The establishment of the collection charge is a national matter. While, in general, Administrations correlate collection charges and accounting rates, the two will not necessarily be the same for a number of reasons, fo
30、r example: a) b) c) in most countries, collection charges and accounting rates will be expressed in different currencies; the value of national currencies may fluctuate in relation to the SDR; the collection charges may be based on the per-word tariff system and the accounting rate on the binary sys
31、tem or vice versa; collection charges may be influenced by government fiscal policies; Administrations may establish common collection charges for geographical zones or groups of countries. d) e) 3.2 Determination of collection charges It is recommended that a single telegraph collection charge shou
32、ld be applied for telegrams exchanged among countries in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. This single collection charge is the sum of the terminal shares of the two terminal countries fixed in accordance with the provisions of 2.1.1.1 and 2.1.2.2. Administrations may fix a single charge per-word
33、(with or without a minimum charge) or apply a binary collection charge. If they choose the per-word system, they may nevertheless agree to use the binary system for the establishment of international accounts. 4 Provisions common to accounting rates and collection charges applicable to telegrams exc
34、hanged between countries in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin Having regard to the provisions of the -T Recommendations, the following rules shall be taken into consideration when fixing accounting rates and collection charges: for urgent telegrams, the charge is equal to twice the charge for an or
35、dinary telegram for the same destination and by the same route; for telegrams concerning persons protected in time of war by the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949 (RCT), the total charge is reduced by 75%; when a charged service message includes an amount for a prepaid reply (RP), such amount is equivalent to the charge for an ordinary private seven-word telegram for the same destination and by the same route. a) b c) References 11 Table of Rates for Telegrams, ITU, Geneva, 1992.
