which the latter provide on the whole or part of the same routes.

Contracting Parties shall bear a close relationship to the requirements of the
public for transportation on the specified routes and shall have as their
primary objective the provision at reasonable load factor of capacity adequate
to meet the current and reasonably anticipated requirements for the carriage of
passengers and cargo, including mail to or from the area of the Contracting
Party which has designated the airline. Provision for the carriage of
passengers and cargo, including mail taken on board and discharged at points on
the specified routes other than points in the area of the Contracting Party
which designated the airline shall be made in accordance with the general
principles that capacity shall be related to:
a) Traffic requirements to and from the area of the Contracting Party which

passes, after taking into account of the other transport services established
by the airlines of the States comprising the region.

proposed schedules for the agreed services and any amendments thereto for the
approval of the Aeronautical Authorities of both Contracting Parties no later

days before the proposed date of operation.
Article 9
Tariffs
1. The term "tariff" means:
a) The fare charged by an airline for the carriage of passengers and their
baggage on scheduled air services and the charges and conditions for the
services ancillary to such carriage;
b) The freight rate charged by an airline for the carriage of cargo
(excluding mail) on scheduled air services;
c) The conditions governing the availability or applicability of any such
fare or freight rate including any benefits attaching to it; and
d) The rate of commission paid by an airline to an agent in respect of
tickets sold or air waybills completed by that agent for carriage on scheduled
services.
2. The tariffs to be applied by a designated airline of one Contracting
Party for carriage to and from the area of the other Contracting Party shall be
established at reasonable levels, due regard being paid to all relevant
factors, including cost of operation, the interest of users, reasonable profit,
the characteristics of each service and the tariffs charged by other airlines.
3. The tariffs referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article may be agreed by
the designated airlines seeking approval of the tariff after consultation with
other airlines. However, the designated airline shall not be precluded from
proposing nor the Aeronautical Authorities from approving, any tariff, if that
airline shall have failed to obtain the agreement of the other designated
airlines to such tariff, or because no other designated airline is operating on
the same route. In this context "the same route" means the route
operated, not the specified route.
4. The tariffs referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article shall be submitted
for approval to the Aeronautical Authorities of the Contracting Parties at

Article 11
Aviation Security
1. The Contracting Parties reaffirm that their obligation to each other to
protect the security of civil aviation against unlawful interference forms an
integral part of this Agreement. The Contracting Parties shall in particular
act in conformity with the aviation security provisions of the Convention on
Offenses and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, signed at Tokyo on
14 September 1963, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of

that the requirements under which such certificates or licenses were issued or
rendered valid are equal to or above the minimum standards which may be
established pursuant to the Convention. Each Contracting Party reserves the
right, however, to refuse to recognize, for the purpose of flights above its

consultations concerning the safety and security standards and requirements
relating to aeronautical facilities, aircrew, aircraft, and the operation of
the designated airlines which are maintained and administered by the other
Contracting Party. If, followed such consultations, the aeronautical
authorities of either Contracting Party find that the other Contracting Party
does not effectively maintain and administer safety and security standards and
requirements in those areas that are equal to or above the minimum standards
which may be established pursuant to the Convention, they will notify the other
Contracting Party of such findings and the steps considered necessary to bring
the safety and security standards and requirements of the other Contracting
Party to standards at least equal to the minimum standards which may be
established pursuant to the Convention, and the other Contracting Party shall
take appropriate steps to remedy the same.
3. Each Contracting Party reserves the right pursuant to Article 6 to
withhold, limit, suspend, revoke or to impose conditions on the operating
authorization with respect to any designated airline by the other Contracting
Party, in the event the other Contracting Party does not take such appropriate
action within a reasonable time.
Article 13
Provision of Statistics
The Aeronautical Authorities of a Contracting Party shall supply to the
Aeronautical Authorities of the other Contracting Party at their request such
periodic or other statements of statistics as may be reasonably required for

operational and other specialist staff who are required for the provision of
air services.

Party shall further encourage the competent charging Authorities and airlines
to exchange appropriate information concerning user charges.
Article 17
Consultation
Either Contracting Party may at any time request consultations on the
implementation, interpretation, application or amendment of this Agreement.

Article 18
Settlement of Disputes
1. If any dispute arises between the Contracting Parties relating to the
interpretation or application of this Agreement, the Contracting Parties shall
in the first place try to settle it by negotiation.
2. If the Contracting Parties fail to reach a settlement of the dispute by
negotiation, it may be referred by them to such person or body as they may
agree on or, at the request of either Contracting Party, shall be submitted for
decision to a tribunal of three arbitrators which shall be constituted in the
following manner:
a) Within 30 days after receipt of a request for arbitration, each
Contracting Party shall appoint one arbitrator. A national of a State which can
be regarded as neutral in relation to the dispute, who shall act as President
of the tribunal, shall be appointed as the third arbitrator by agreement
between the two arbitrators, within 60 days of the appointment of the second;
b) If within the time limits specified above any appointment has not been
made, either Contracting Party may request the President of the Council of the
International Civil Aviation Organization to make the necessary appointment
within 30 days. If the President considers that he is a national of a State
which cannot be regarded as neutral in relation to the dispute, the most senior
Vice President who is not disqualified on that ground shall make the
appointment.
3. Except as hereinafter provided in this Article or as otherwise agreed by
the Contracting Parties, the tribunal shall determine the limits of its
jurisdiction and establish its own procedure. At the direction of the tribunal,
or at the request of either of the Contracting Parties, a conference to
determine the precise issues to be arbitrated and the specific procedures to be
followed shall be held not later than 30 days after the tribunal is fully
constituted.
4. Except as otherwise agreed by the Contracting Parties or prescribed by
the tribunal, each Contracting Party shall submit a memorandum within 45 days
after the tribunal is fully constituted. Replies shall be due 60 days later.
The tribunal shall hold a hearing at the request of either Contracting Party,
or at its discretion, within 30 days after replies are due.
5. The tribunal shall attempt to give written decision within 30 days after
completion of the hearing or, it no hearing is held, after the date both
replies are submitted. The decision shall be taken by a majority vote.
6. The Contracting Parties may submit requests for clarification of the
decision within 15 days after it is received and such clarification shall be
issued within 15 days of such request.
7. The decision of the tribunal shall be binding on the Contracting Parties.
8. Each Contracting Party shall bear the cost of the arbitrator appointed by
it. The other costs of the tribunal shall be shared equally by the Contracting
Parties including any expenses incurred by the President or Vice President of
the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization implementing the
procedures in paragraph 2.b of this Article.
