  5.4.3 Contracting Governments other than those establishing National, Regional or Cooperative LRIT Data Centres should note that they may not be able to require the LRIT Data Centre the services of which they would be using to use an ASP of their choice in cases where such an ASP is not one of the ASP(s) which are recognized by the Contracting Government(s) establishing the centre. In addition, although the centre may be prepared to accommodate such requests its decision may be subject to the agreement of the Contracting Government(s) establishing the centre.

  5.4.4 Contracting Governments other than those establishing National, Regional or Cooperative LRIT Data Centres, after they have reached an agreement with the LRIT Data Centre the services of which they would be using in relation to the ASP(s) which is to provide the required services as far as the ships entitled to fly their flag, should recognize the ASPs in accordance with their national practice; and should communicate to the Organization the required information as soon as possible and well before 31 December 2008 and thereafter should, without undue delay, update the information provided as and when changes occur. The obligation to recognize the ASP(s) and to communicate to the Organization related information is not in any way waived or altered by the fact that the ASP(s) may be the same as those recognized by the Contracting Government(s) establishing the centre.
