NDD prefix/code

This is the number prefixed to the combination of the exchange number and subscriber number to indicate a national call (usually '0' in Europe);

ref:

NDD Prefix (National Direct Dialing)

The NDD prefix is the access code used to make a call WITHIN that country from one city to another (when calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be necessary). The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling (city/area codes, where applicable, can be viewed by following the link from the country name on the table below). Phone numbers are often written in this format: +44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX. This expresses the numbers used for both international and national long-distance calls. In the example, +44 indicates the country code, while (0) indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be used, but the country code would not. NOTE: All city/area codes used on this site are expressed for use in international calling; for national calls, prefix the area/city code with the NDD.

That should read 'combination of the area code and subscriber number'
