C 26 hereto appended~ and are prmted by the International Bureau on paper bearing,_ in the watermark, the letters "U P U" in 18I'ge characters. 2. Each Administration has the option: a) of giving the reply coupons a distinctive perforation which does not interfere with the reading of the text and is not of such a nature as to hinder the verification of the coupons. b) of modifying, by hand or by means of a printing proc.e£S, the selling price indicated on the coupons. 3. The International Bureau f~hes the coupons at cost pnce. 4. B~ contrary apeement among the Administrations con- c~~rned, the coupons exchanged are sent annually to the Adminis- trations which have issued them, with indication of their total number and value. 5. As soon as two Administra- tions have come to an agreement as to the number of coupons ex- changed in their rec!ErocaJ. rela- tions, a statement (.lform C 27 hereto appended) indicating the debit or credit balance is ma.a.e up by each of the two Administra- tions and transmitted by them to the International Bureau. In the absence of an agreement between two Administrations within a period of six months, the creditor Administration makes up its ac- count and sends it to the Inter- national Bureau. For the mak- ing up of that account, the value of the coupons is calculated at 37U centimes each. The Inter- national Bureau includes the bal- ance in an annual account.
