Introduction
ETSI, under a mandate from the CEU, has been requested to produce a standard for the number structure, possible
evolution of European numbers (Ens) towards a global scheme, and framework of functions regarding ETNS numbering
conventions. ETO has, on behalf of ECTRA for the CEU, produced proposals for the management of the ETNS, and
developed ETNS numbering conventions to be agreed by ECTRA. The studies made in ETSI and the standards
produced are a prerequisite to the necessary commercial agreements between the parties willing to participate in the
ETNS.
The present document is based on the results of the ETSI studies on the topic, based on the prime requirement of the
ETNS which is the ability to introduce services in an open competitive environment.
ECTRA having decided in November 1996 to base the ETNS on Country Code (CC) 388 (see note), this numbering
scheme is therefore the only one covered within the present document.
NOTE: The country code has currently only been reserved for trial purposes until the beginning of 1999.
The present document has been designed for an early implementation of the ETNS. Improvements of the ETNS
architecture may occur later and result in revisions of the present document. In particular, the present document contains
some architectural alternatives which will be assessed during the trial period.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the methods for routeing a call from the calling party to the called party and the
management methods to be used for controlling such procedures. It also describes the number structure, including the
allocation of codes to the service described, number length and evolution from National numbers to pan-European to
global numbers.

which case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; or

number.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following definitions apply:
administrator: The administrator has the responsibility for the high level management of the ETNS.
assisted network: A network which routes a call to an European number towards a serving network it has agreement
with in order to complete the call.
called party: An entity that terminates a call to an European number. The called party may be the ETNS subscriber to
the European number, an entity delegated by the ETNS subscriber, or a terminating equipment of the service network
(e.g. a recorded announcement equipment).
calling party: An entity that dials a European number.
ETNS country: A CEPT member country participating in the ETNS.
ETNS Registrar database: The database maintained by the Registrar where all data, both administrative and
operational, for each European number are registered.
ETNS routeing number: An ITU-T E.164 [1] number used to route to the service exchange. It can also identify the
called party, the ETNS service provider, and / or the originating network for routeing purposes.
ETNS service provider: An entity that provides one or more ETNS service(s) to its ETNS subscribers on a contractual
basis.
ETNS service: A service that has been assigned an ESI.
ETNS subscriber: An entity that requests a European number from a ETNS service provider in order to offer access
from a calling party to a ETNS service.
ETNS translation database: A database which, in the call process, translates the European number into a routeing
number.
ETNS: The numbering resource identified by E.164 [1] country code 388, used for the provisioning of the ETNS
services.
European number: A number out of the ETNS.
originating network: A network, either assisted or serving, to which the calling party is connected.
Registrar: The registrar is responsible for the day-to-day management of the ESNs behind each ESI.
service exchange: An exchange of the service network that triggers the provision of the service on reception of the
routeing number, and then forwards the call.
service network: A network that operates one or more service exchange(s).
serving exchange: An exchange, in the serving network, that can interrogate directly or indirectly an ETNS translation
database to obtain a routeing number related to the European number, and then forward the call.
serving network: A network, with one or more serving exchange(s).

4 Reference model for the ETNS
This clause provides a conceptual description of the implementation of the European Telephony Numbering Space
(ETNS). Figure 1 shows the actors involved in the ETNS, and their relationship with each other. Also shown in figure 1
are the relevant reference points for the ETNS that are described in subclauses 4.2 and 4.3. Figure 1 is divided into call-
related and non call-related parts in order to clearly show the distinction between the routeing functions and the
management functions.

Figure 1: Actors and reference points
The reference points in the management (non call-related) part of the figure 1 are used in the present document, while
the reference points in the call-related part are used in TR 101 079 [4].
The ETNS Service Provider (SP) is the entity that is relevant in the process of number assignment. The service network
is the entity that is relevant in call processing. One single entity may be both the ETNS SP and the service network, or
they may be different entities; in the latter, the entity that assumes the function of ETNS SP may or may not participate
in the call process. Such a distinction leads to recognize two concepts under the word "service provision": the function
of the first is to sell a service to a ETNS subscriber, and to be the sole interface with this ETNS subscriber, this is the
role of the ETNS SP; the function of the second is to operate the call, this is the role of the service network.
The Serving Network (SgN) is responsible for routeing a call from the calling party to the service network. The service
network (and potentially the SP) is (are) responsible for providing the service itself.
European numbers (Ens) are managed by independent authorities which are identified as the registrar and the
administrator in figure 1.

4.1 Call-related part
This subclause describes the principles for routeing a call from the calling party to the called party. This is studied in
detail in TR 101 079 [4] and EN 301 160 [2]. A call to a European number (En) can be divided in two parts.
4.1.1 First leg: getting the routeing number
The calling party shall dial the En in its international format.
Based on the European Service Identifier (ESI), clause 5, the call is routed to the serving exchange in the SgN.
Potentially, this exchange may not be located in the calling party's network. The originating network is then called an
assisted network, interconnected to the
