Here's an explanation of LATA:

http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Lata

Basically, a LATA generally defines a group of area codes, and is used 
for billing differentiation, although I think that practice is fading 
these days.  Still, for some billing plans in the US intra-lata calls 
are either free, or not charged per-minute rates.

Area Code should be relevant to most countries:  It's the first "part" 
of the number after the country code, which generally (did?) cover 
geographic areas.  I'm sure it's relevant for Germany and France, for 
example..

+33 (4) = southern france
+33 (6) = France mobile

So, I'd say you'd call the area codes 4 and 6 in the above examples.
