	This is done by sending the tag to the next controller as soon as the pilot reads back the ~~corretc~~ clearance.

This is done by sending the tag to the next controller as soon as the pilot reads back the correct clearance. You may only do this if the plane is safe and will remain safe within your sector at all time. So initiate the handoff if you don't need him anymore, but not before that.
	The other controller accepts the handoff~~. Again he only does this if he can really accept~~ the ~~traffic without creating a conflict. If that's not possible~~ the ~~two of you will have to work out a different solution~~.		The other controller accepts the handoff upon the intial call of the pilot.

	If the next controller rejects the handoff, the aircraft is not allowed to enter his sector and it is your responsibility to ensure it doesn't.
			This procedure is only suspended if the controller is set on break. Then you must wait for the controller to accept the track before sending the aircraft. If the next controller rejects the handoff, the aircraft is not allowed to enter his sector and it is your responsibility to ensure it doesn't.
