ANNEX A General Conditions Governing the Establishmentof Direct Radioteegraph Circuits (i) The desirability of establishing any direct radio circuit between two countries is a matter involving a judgment on its merits by the Governments of both the countries concerned. It is essential that conditions, particularly economic conditions, and the require- ments of the users, at both ends of a proposed circuit should be fully considered in each case. (ii) The governing conditions for the establishment of direct radio circuits are those of traffic and service, with the expeditious dis- posal of traffic as the main objective. (iii) The existence of both radio and cables is essential in the general interest of world telecommunications as a whole. Provision of direct radio circuits should therefore have regard to existing channels of communication. (iv) It is recognised that in certain cases a circuit might be deemed necessary for political reasons.
