 :63STAT.] AIULTILATERAL-TELECOMIMUNICATIONS-OCT. 2, 1947 (Chapter XI, art. 23, 24 RR) (498-502) subject must be so informed without delay. In addition, the procedure specified in article 15 is followed when necessary. 498 (2) The government or administration official who has inspected the station must, before leaving it, communicate the result of his inspection to the master or to the person responsible (see 565). 499 §3. The countries, members of the Union, undertake not to impose upon foreign mobile stations which are temporarily within their territorial waters or make a temporary stay in their territory, technical and operating conditions more severe than those contemplated in these Regulations. This in no way affects arrangements which are made under international agreements relating to maritime or air navigation, and which are therefore not covered by these Regulations. ARTICLE 24 Operators' Certificates for Ship and Aircraft Stations Section I. General Provisions 500 § 1. (1) The service of every ship or aircraft radiotelegraph or radiotelephone station must be performed by an operator holding a certificate issued or recognized by the government to which the station is subject. 501 (2) Nevertheless, in the service of radiotelephone sta- tions operating solely on frequencies above 30 Mc/s each government decides for itself whether a certificate is neces- sary and, if so, defines the conditions for obtaining it. 502 (3) The provision of 501 does not, however, apply to aircraft stations working on frequencies allocated exclusively to aircraft making international flights. 1793
