The development of the management rules adopted in 1998 was the subject of consultations conducted first by the Post and Telecommunications Directorate and, since 1 January 1997, by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, with All the parties concerned: operators, manufacturers, users.
Similarly, the updating of the management rules in 2005 was the subject of consultations by the Electronic Communications and Postal Regulatory Authority. A call for comments on the numbering plan was launched in October 2004 and contributions to this call for comments were published in March 2005. Syntheses by subject were also published by the Authority. Finally, the Authority's projects on the subject have been discussed in a number of consultation forums and in particular the Advisory Committee on Numbering.
These management rules do not deal with the amounts of the fees Applicable for numbering resources.
Portability
Section L. 44 of the Electronic Communications and Position Code cited above specifies the conditions under which the numbers Can be ported from one operator to another.
All numbers in the national numbering plan that can be assigned to end users are portable. This provision covers in particular the numbers used for interpersonal communications but also all numbers used for access to services and assigned, for example, to an editor.
The Network Advisory Commission and Electronic communications services and the Advisory Radio Advisory Board were consulted on November 30, 2005 and December 2, 2005.

Terms used in management rules
Based on the definitions provided by the laws and regulations, the following terms are used in these management rules.
Nomenclature
The ten-digit numbers in the French numbering plan are represented as follows: E Z A B P Q M C D U, where each letter represents a number between 0 and 9. From the point of view of the international plan E. 164, only the letters ZABPQMCDU characterize the French numbering plan.
National Numbering Plan
The National Numbering Plan is the A resource consisting of a structured set of numbers, including identifying fixed or mobile termination points for telephone networks and services, routing calls and accessing internal network resources.
This plan corresponds to seven segments of the global numbering plan defined by Standard E. 164:
-metropolitan France (ITU country code: + 33);
-Guadeloupe (ITU country code: + 590);
-Guyana (ITU country code: + 594) ;
-Martinique (ITU country code: + 592);
-Meeting (ITU country code: + 262);
-Mayotte and French Southern and Antarctic Lands (ITU code: + 269 shared with Comoros);
- Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (ITU country code: + 508).
These plans are in addition to the short or special numbers not included in Plan E. 164 (3 BPQ, 118 XYZ, 1 XY, the OYT) and the carrier selection prefixes (16 XY and " E ").
It Other addressing plans also exist, such as the semaphore numbering plan, ADMD, DNIC (X.121), NSAP, Internet (IPv4 and IPv6), the IMSI code plan (E. 212), the ITSI code plan (E. 218), the network code plan of the CCITT n ° 7 (R1R2), etc. They do not fall under these management rules. Some of these resources are administered by decisions of the Authority.
The internal numbers used by some networks are not part of the National Plan. If a number assigned by the Authority is, in fact, already in use, this use will be abandoned in favour of the intended use at national level within a reasonable period specified by the Authority.
Attribution
Attribution is the authority given by the Authority to an electronic communications operator, after reviewing the application file, to use the resource designated for its own account or that of its customers under conditions As defined in Decision 2005-1085 of the Regulatory Authority for Electronic Communications and Postal Services, as of 15 December 2005, specified or recalled by the award decision and, where appropriate, by the The charges associated with the authorization it has.
Assigning
The assignment refers to the provision of a resource, a number, or a series of numbers to users Parties domiciled in one of the territories associated with the seven country codes under the authority of the Authority in accordance with the National Numbering Plan, and according to contractual clauses. Some assigned numbers may, after informing the Authority, be used by the holder on his own account to satisfy operational requirements (tests, routing, after-sales services, etc.).
Provision to a third party operator
Making available to a third party operator means making a resource, number or series of numbers available to another communications operator Electronic, called " Depositary operator ", in accordance with the National Numbering Plan and according to contractual clauses. The depositary operator then assigns the resource in the numbering of the holder to the end user.
Publication
The publication consists in making the public available by the authority of the Information on the structure and evolution of the plan on the one hand and the situation and the use of the allocated resources on the other.
For the proper updating of this information, each operator must inform the other operators, ARCEP and ITU-T upon the operational opening of its numbering resources. An operator is not allowed to publish information (for example in an ITU bulletin) about resources assigned to another operator.
Number Series: 1 million consecutive numbers identified by their three First digits ("a ZAB").
Number Block: smaller number of consecutive numbers due outside of the numbers assigned to the unit. It is usually 10 000 numbers (form " ZABPQ "), it may be 1,000 numbers (form " ZABPQ M "), after consulting the affected operators,
Decides:
The rules for managing the national numbering plan contained in the annex are approved.
Six months after the date of adoption of this Decision, operators holding reserved resources in accordance with the terms of Decision No 98-75 of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, As of 3 February 1998, are required:
-either to return the resources reserved to the Authority in accordance with the terms defined by the rules for the management of the national numbering plan;
-to ask the Authority for the allocation of resources Reserved according to the terms defined by the rules for managing the national numbering plan.
At the end of this six-month period, all remaining reservation decisions will be revoked.
