INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [54 STAT. destination; cette transmission a lieu sans lettre d'envoi et sous enveloppe fermee. Si le bureau destinataire est en 6tat de fournir les renseignements sur le sort definitif de l'envoi, il complete la formule et la retourne au bureau d'origine. Lorsque le sort de l'envoi ne peut etre etabli par le bureau de destination, celui-ci constate le fait sur la formule et la reexpedie au bureau d'origine en y ajoutant, autant que possible, une declara- tion du destinataire constatant qu'il n'a pas requ l'envoi. Dans ce cas, l'Administration d'origine complete la formule en y indi- quantlesdonneesdela transmission a la premiere Administration inter- mediaire. EUe l'adresse ensuite & cette derniere Administration, qui y consigne ses observations et la transmet 6ventuellement a l'Ad- ministration suivante. La re- clamation passe ainsi d'une Ad- ministration A 1'autre jusqu'a ce que le sort de l'envoi r6clam6 soit 6tabli. L'Administration qui a effectu6 la remise au destinataire, ou qui, le cas echeant, ne peut etablir ni la remise, ni la trans- mission r6guliere a une autre Administration, constate le fait sur la formule et la renvoie a l'Administration d'origine. 3. -Toutefois, si l'Administra- tion d'origine ou l'Administration de destination le demande, la reclamation est transmise de prime abord de bureau a bureau en suivant la meme voie d'achemine- ment que 1'envoi. Dans ce cas, les recherches se poursuivent depuis 1'Administra- tion d'origine jusqu'a l'Adminis- tration de destination en obser- vant la procedure vis6e au dernier alinea du § 2. 4.- Toute Administration peut demander, par une notification adressee au Bureau international, que les reclamations qui concer- nent son service soient transmises A son Administration centrale ou a un bureau specialement designe. such transmission takes place without letter of transmittal and in a sealed envelope. If the office of destination is in a posi- tion to furnish information as to the final disposal made of the article, it completes the form and returns it to the office of origin. When the disposal of the article can not be established by the office of destination, the latter states the fact on the form and returns it to the office of origin, attaching thereto, when possible, a declaration of the addressee stating that he has not received the article. In that case, the Administration of origin com- pletes the form by indicating thereon the particulars of dis- patch to the first intermediate Administration. It then trans- mits it to this latter Administra- tion, which places its observations thereon and transmits it to the following Administration, if any. The inquiry thus passes from one Administration to another until the disposal of the article in- quired about is established. The Administration which has effected delivery to the addressee, or which can not prove either de- livery or regular transmission to another Administration, as the case may be, shows the fact on the form and returns it to the Administration of origin. 3. However if the Administra- tion of origin or of destination requests it, the inquiry is first transmitted from office to office, following the same route as the article. In that case, the investigations are continued from the Admin- istration of origin as far as the Administration of destination, ob- serving the procedure indicated in theast paragraph of Section 2. 4. Any Administration may re- quest, by a notification addressed to the International Bureau, that inquiries concerning its service be transmitted to its central Admin- istration or an office specially designated.
