(3 STAT. I -ItLTILATERAL-TELEC()1MM1UNICATIONS-OCT. 2, 1947 1933 (Chapter XV, art. 41 RR) (965-969) 965 (2) So far as concerns transmission over the telegraph communication routes, radiotelegrams are treated, from the point of view of accounting, in conformity with the Telegraph Regulations. Ante, p. 143n. 966 § 6. (1) For radiotelegrams to a country beyond that to which the land station belongs, the telegraph charges to be settled in accordance with the above provisions are the charges shown in the table of rates relating to international telegraph correspondence, or those fixed by special arrange- ments between the administrations of adjacent countries and published by those administrations, and not the charges which might be made by applying minimum charges per tele- gram or by methods of rounding the charges per telegram in any manner. 967 (2) The regulation five-word minimum charge must, however, be taken into account for CDE radiotelegrams and for radiotelegrams within the European system. 968 § 7. (1) In the case of radiotelegrams addressed to ship and aircraft stations, the administration to which the office of origin is subject is debited direct by the administration to which the land station is subject, with the land station and ship or aircraft charges plus the land station and ship or air- craft charges applicable to collation, but only where the radio- telegram has been transmitted to the ship or aircraft station. In the case provided for in 2109, however, the administration to which the office of origin is subject is debited with the land station charge by the administration to which the land station is subject. 969 (2) The administration to which the office of origin is subject is always debited through the medium of the telegraph accounts, from country to country if necessary, by the admin- istration to which the land station is subject, with the tele- graph charges, the total charges for prepaid replies, and the telegraph charges for collation. As regards charges for copies of multiple telegrams, the procedure, as far as the telegraph accounts are concerned, is in conformity with the normal tele- graph procedure.
