Each Contracting Party reserves the right, however, to refuse to recognize, for the purpose of flight above its own territory, certificates of competency and licenses granted to its own nationals by another State.
### Artikel 11bis
**1.** Each Contracting Party may request consultations at any time concerning the safety standards maintained by the other Contracting Party in any area relating to aeronautical facilities, flight crew, aircraft or the operation of aircraft. Such consultations shall take place within thirty (30) days of that request.
**2.** If, following such consultations, one Contracting Party finds that the other Contracting Party does not effectively maintain and administer safety standards in any of the areas referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article that meet the standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, the first Contracting Party shall notify the other Contracting Party of those findings and the steps considered necessary to conform with those standards, and the other Contracting Party shall take appropriate corrective action within fifteen (15) days or such longer period as may be agreed. Failure by the other Contracting Party to take appropriate action within the agreed period shall be grounds for the application of Article 3bis of this Agreement.
**3.** Pursuant to Article 16 of the Convention, it is further agreed that any aircraft operated by, or, where approved, on behalf of an airline of one Contracting Party, on service to or from the territory of the other Contracting Party, may, while within the territory of the other Contracting Party, be the subject of a search on board and around the aircraft by the authorized representatives of the other Contracting Party to check both the validity of the aircraft documents and those of its crew and the apparent condition of the aircraft and its equipment (in this Article called “ramp inspection”), provided this does not cause unreasonable delay in the operation of the aircraft.
**4.**
If such ramp inspection or series of ramp inspections gives rise to:
a) a)
serious concerns that an aircraft or the operation of an aircraft does not comply with the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, or
b) b)
serious concerns that there is a lack of effective maintenance and administration of the safety standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention,
the Contracting Party carrying out the inspection shall, for the purpose of Article 33 of the Convention, be free to conclude that the requirements under which the certificates or licenses in respect of that aircraft or in respect of the crew of that aircraft had been issued or rendered valid, or that the requirements under which that aircraft is operated, are not equal to or above the minimum standards established pursuant to the Convention.
**5.** In the event that access for the purpose of undertaking a ramp inspection of an aircraft operated by a designated airline of one Contracting Party in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article is denied by a representative of that airline, the other Contracting Party shall be free to infer that serious concerns of the type referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article arise and draw the conclusions referred to in that paragraph.
**6.** Each Contracting Party reserves the right to suspend or vary the operating authorization of an airline or airlines of the other Contracting Party immediately in the event the first Contracting Party concludes, whether as a result of a ramp inspection, a series of ramp inspections, a denial of access for ramp inspections, consultations or otherwise, that immediate action is essential to ensure the safety of an airline operation.
**7.** Any action by one Contracting Party in accordance with paragraph 2 or 6 of this Article shall be discontinued once the basis for taking that action ceases to exist.
**8.** Where the Kingdom of the Netherlands has designated an airline whose regulatory control is exercised and maintained by another European Union Member State, the rights of the Republic of Korea under this Article shall apply equally in respect of the adoption, exercise and maintenance of safety standards by that other European Union Member State and in respect of the operating authorization of that airline.
### Artikel 11ter
**1.** Consistent with their rights and obligations under international law, the Contracting Parties reaffirm that their obligation to each other to protect the security of civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference forms an integral part of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of their rights and obligations under international law, the Contracting Parties shall, in particular, act in conformity with the provisions of the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, done at Tokyo on 14 September 1963, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, done at The Hague on 16 December 1970, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at Montreal on 23 September 1971, the Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving International Civil Aviation, done at Montreal on 24 February 1988, the Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives for Purpose of Detection, done at Montreal on 1 March 1991, and any other aviation security agreement that becomes binding on both Contracting Parties.
**2.** The Contracting Parties shall provide upon request all necessary assistance to each other to prevent acts of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft and other unlawful acts against the safety of such aircraft, their passengers and crew, airports and air navigation facilities, and any other threat to the security of civil aviation.
**3.** The Contracting Parties shall, in their mutual relations, act in conformity with the aviation security provisions established by the International Civil Aviation Organization and designated as annexes to the Convention to the extent that such security provisions are applicable to the Contracting Parties. The Contracting Parties shall require that their airlines and the operators of airports in their territory act in conformity with such aviation security provisions.
**4.** Each Contracting Party agrees that its airlines may be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article required by the other Contracting Party for the entry into, departure from, or while within the territory of that other Contracting Party. For the entry into, departure from, or while within the territory of the Republic of Korea, airlines shall be required to observe aviation security provisions in conformity with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Korea. For the entry into, departure from, or while within the territory of the Kingdom of Netherlands, airlines shall be required to observe aviation security provisions in accordance with European Union law.
**5.** Each Contracting Party shall ensure that adequate measures are effectively applied within its territory to protect the aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, carry-on items, baggage, cargo, in-flight catering and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading. Each Contracting Party shall also give sympathetic consideration to any request from the other Contracting Party for reasonable special security measures to meet a particular threat.
**6.** When an incident or threat of an incident of unlawful seizure of civil aircraft or other unlawful acts against the safety of such aircraft, their passengers and crew, airports or air navigation facilities occurs, the Contracting Parties shall assist each other by facilitating communications and other appropriate measures intended to terminate rapidly and safely such incident or threat thereof.
**7.** When a Contracting Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other Contracting Party has departed from the aviation security provisions of this Article, the aeronautical authorities of the first Contracting Party may request immediate consultations with the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party.
**8.** Failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within fifteen (15) days from the start of such consultations shall constitute grounds for withholding, revoking, suspending, limiting or imposing conditions on the operating authorization of an airline or airlines designated by the other Contracting Party. When justified by an emergency, or to prevent further non-compliance with the provisions of this Article, the first Contracting Party may take interim action at any time.
### Artikel 12
**(1).** If any dispute arises between the Contracting Parties relating to the interpretation or application of the present Agreement, the Contracting Parties shall in the first place endeavour to settle it by negotiation between themselves. This negotiation shall begin within sixty (60) days after receipt of the request by one Party from the other.
**(2).** If the Contracting Parties fail to reach a settlement by negotiation, the dispute shall be submitted for decision to a tribunal of three arbitrators, one to be named by each Contracting Party and the third to be agreed upon by the two arbitrators so chosen, provided that such third arbitrator shall not be a national of either Contracting Party. Each of the Contracting Parties shall designate its arbitrator within two (2) months from the date of delivery by either Party to the other Party of a diplomatic note requesting arbitration of the dispute and the third arbitrator shall be agreed upon within one (1 ) month after such period of two (2) months. If either Contracting Party fails to designate its arbitrator within the period specified, or if the third arbitrator is not agreed, the President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization may be requested by either Contracting Party to appoint an arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case requires. In such case the third arbitrator shall be a national of a third state and shall act as President of the arbitral body.
**(3).** Unless otherwise provided by the Contracting Parties, the arbitral body shall determine its seat and prescribe its own rules of procedure.
**(4).** The arbitral body shall endeavour to resolve the dispute by unanimous vote. However, if this is not possible, the dispute shall be resolved by majority vote.
**(5).** The Contracting Parties undertake to comply with any decision given under paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) of this Article.
### Artikel 13
**(1).** If either of the Contracting Parties considers it desirable to amend the terms of the present Agreement, it may request consultation with the other Contracting Party. Such consultation shall begin within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the request. Any amendment so agreed shall come into effect after confirmation thereof by an exchange of diplomatic notes.
**(2).** Modifications to routes shall not be considered as an amendment to the present Agreement, and may be made by direct agreement between the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties.
### Artikel 14
Either Contracting Party may at any time give notice to the other Contracting Party of its decision to terminate the present Agreement. Such notice shall be communicated simultaneously to the International Civil Aviation Organization. If such notice is given, the present Agreement shall terminate twelve (12) months after the date of receipt of the notice by the other Contracting Party, unless the notice to terminate is withdrawn by agreement between the Contracting Parties before the expiration of that period. In the absence of acknowledgment of receipt by the other Contracting Party, notice shall be deemed to have been received fourteen (14) days after the receipt of the notice by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
### Artikel 15
If a general multilateral convention concerning air transport comes into force in respect of both Contracting Parties, the present Agreement shall be amended so as to conform with the provisions of such convention.
### Artikel 16
The present Agreement and any amendment thereto in accordance with Article 13 hereof shall be registered with the International Civil Aviation Organization.
### Artikel 17
**(1).** The present Agreement shall be approved by each Contracting Party in compliance with its legal procedure and shall enter into force on the day of the exchange of diplomatic notes confirming such approval.
