The Designated Airlines shall be permitted to perform their own ground-handling services (“self-handling”) in the Territory of the other Party or, at their option, select among competing agents for such services in whole or in part, except where this is demonstrably impractical and also where constrained by relevant safety and security considerations, and, with the exception of self-handling, by the scale of airport operations being too small to sustain competitive providers.

Where such considerations preclude self-handling, ground-handling services shall be available on an equal basis to all Airlines; charges shall be based on the costs of services provided; and such services shall be comparable to the kind and quality of services as if self-handling were possible.

User Charges imposed on the Designated Airlines of the other Party may reflect, but shall not exceed, the full cost to the competent charging authorities or bodies of providing the appropriate airport, airport environmental, air navigation, and aviation security facilities and services at the airport or within the airport system. Such full cost may include a reasonable return on assets, after depreciation. Facilities and services for which charges are made shall be provided on an efficient and economic basis.

3. Each Party shall encourage consultations between the competent charging authorities or bodies in its Territory and the Designated Airlines using the services and facilities, and shall encourage the competent charging authorities or bodies and the Designated Airlines to exchange such information as may be necessary to permit an accurate review of the reasonableness of the User Charges in accordance with the principles of paragraph 1 and 2 of this Article.

Neither Party shall unilaterally limit the volume of traffic, frequency, or regularity of service, or the aircraft type or types operated by the Designated Airline of the other Party, except as may be required for customs and other government inspection services, technical or operational reasons under uniform conditions consistent with Article 15 of the Convention.

4. Neither Party shall impose on the Designated Airlines of the other Party a first- refusal requirement, uplift ratio, no-objection fee or any other requirements with respect to capacity, frequency or traffic that would be inconsistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

Artikel 8

1.

Each Party shall allow Prices for Air Services to be established by Designated Airlines of both Parties based upon commercial considerations in the marketplace. Intervention by the Parties shall be limited to:

a) a) prevention of unreasonably discriminatory Prices or practices; b) b) protection of consumers from Prices that are unreasonably high or restrictive due to the abuse of a dominant position; c) c) protection of Airlines from Prices that are artificially low due to direct or indirect governmental subsidy or support.

2.

3. Neither Party shall take unilateral action to prevent the inauguration or continuation of a Price proposed to be charged or charged by the Designated Airlines of either Party for International Air Services between the Territories of the Parties. If either Party believes that any such Price is inconsistent with the consideration set forth in this Article, it shall request consultations and notify the other Party of the reasons for its dissatisfaction within fourteen (14) days from receiving the filing. These consultations shall be held not later than fourteen (14) days after receipt of the request. Without a mutual agreement, the Price shall go into effect or continue to be in effect.

3. Each Party shall, in its mutual relations, act in conformity with the aviation security provisions established by ICAO and designated as Annexes to the Convention. They shall require that operators of aircraft of its registry or operators of aircraft who are established in its Territory and the operators of airports in its Territory act in conformity with such aviation security provisions. Each Party shall advise the other Party of any difference between its national regulations and practices and the aviation security standards of the Annexes referred to in this paragraph. Each Party may request immediate consultations with the other Party at any time to discuss any such differences.

Such consultations shall start within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such a request from either Party. Failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within fifteen (15) days from the date of such request shall constitute grounds to withhold, revoke, suspend or impose conditions on the operating authorization of a Designated Airline or Airlines of that Party. When required by an emergency or to prevent further non-compliance with the provisions of this Article, a Party may take interim action at any time to the expiry of fifteen (15) days.

Either Party may, at any time, request consultations in writing relating to the interpretation, application, implementation, or amendment of, or compliance with this Agreement or its Annex. Such consultations shall begin at the earliest possible date, but not later than sixty (60) days from the date the other Party receives the request, unless otherwise agreed.

Artikel 18

1. The Aeronautical Authorities of both Parties shall in the first place endeavor to settle any dispute arising between the Parties relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, by consultations and negotiation, except those disputes that may arise under Articles 13 (Safety) and 14 (Aviation Security) of this Agreement.

2. If the Aeronautical Authorities fail to reach a settlement by consultations and negotiation, the dispute shall be settled through diplomatic channels.

This exception to paragraph 1 of this Article does not apply in case any traffic rights are added to the above-mentioned Annex.

Artikel 20
