Whereas, in order to promote the use of ISDN by small- and medium-size providers of value-added services, it is desirable that billing arrangements which facilitate such operations across the Community are established; whereas such billing arrangements should allow for a system where the cost of the value-added service and the cost of the call are combined in a single bill ('kiosk type arrangement');

- the called party pays for the calls (green number/freephone),
- the cost of the value-added service and the cost of the call are combined in a single bill collected by the organization supplying ISDN offerings, or other arrangements equally effective for users ('kiosk type arrangements').
