    (a)飛越締約對方地區而不降停;

    (b)在該地區內作非運輸業務性經停﹔

    (二) 締約一方給予締約另一方本協定以下規定的權利,以便在作為本協定附件的航線表相應部份所規定的航線上經營國際航班。此航班和航線以下分別稱為“協議航班” 和 “規定航線”。在規定航線上經營協議航班時,締約一方指定空運企業除享有本條第(一)款所規定的權利外,還享有在締約對方地區內本協定航線表的該規定航線所列地點降停,以便上下旅客和包括郵件在內的貨物。

    (三) 本條第(二)款不應被視為給予締約一方指定空運企業為出租或取酬為目的,在締約另一方地區內裝載旅客、包括郵件在內的貨物前往締約另一方地區內另一點的權利。

    (四) 如果由於武裝衝突,政治動亂或演變,或者特別和非同尋常的情況,締約一方指定空運企業不能在通常航路上經營航班,締約另一方應盡力為該航班的繼續經營提供臨時的航路安排。

    第三條

    空運企業的指定與授權

    (三) 締約一方航空當局可以要求締約另一方所指定的空運企業向其證明,該空運企業具備資格履行該當局與芝加哥公約相一致的,通常及合理地應用於經營國際航班的法律和規定所訂定的各項條件。

    (四) 無論何種情況,締約一方對該指定的空運企業下述事項未能滿意,則有權拒絕發給本條第(二)款所指的經營許可,或對該空運企業實施本協定第二條第(二)款中所列的權利附加其認為必要的條件﹕

    (b) 該空運企業未能遵守給予此等權利的締約方的通常及合理適用的法律或規定﹔或

    (c) 該空運企業在其他方面未能按照本協定所制訂的條件經營。

    (二) 除非本條第(一)款所述的撤銷或暫停或附加條件必須立即執行,以防止進一步違反法律或規定,否則此種權利只能在與締約另一方協商後方可行使。

    第五條

    法律和規定的適用

    (一) 締約一方關於從事國際航班的飛機進出其地區,或在其地區內停留,或此等飛機在其地區內運營和航行的法律、規定及管理要求以及程序,該等飛機在進出或停留於該締約一方的地區時,均須予以遵守。

    第六條

    協議航班經營原則

    (一) 締約雙方的指定空運企業在經營相關地區之間規定航線上的協議航班方面享有公平均等的機會。

    (二) 在經營協議航班方面,締約各方指定空運企業應顧及締約另一方指定空運企業的利益,以免不適當地影響後者在相同航線的全部或部分航段上所提供的航班。

    (三) 締約雙方指定空運企業提供的協議航班,應與公眾對規定航線的運輸需求保持密切關係,其主要目的是以合理載運比例提供足夠的運力,以滿足當前和合理預期到的來往於指定空運企業的締約一方地區的旅客和/或貨物,包括郵件的運輸需求。為在指定空運企業的締約一方地區以外規定航線上地點上下旅客和包括郵件在內的貨物提供的運輸,應根據運力須與下列各點相聯係的總原則制定﹕

    第七條

    運 價

    (一) 締約一方指定空運企業來往於締約另一方地區航班所收取的運價應在合理的水平上制定,適當注意所有有關因素,包括運營成本、合理利潤、各個航班的特點、客戶利益及其他空運企業的運價。

    (二) 本條第(一)款所述的運價,如可能,應在締約雙方指定空運企業之間協商確定,並在可行的情況下與其他經營同一航線的全部或其部份的空運企業協商確定。在可能的情況下,應通過國際航空運輸協會運價制定機構協商制訂運價。

    (三) 由此協商而成的運價應至少在其計劃實施之日四十五(45)天之前提交締約雙方航空當局批准。特殊情況下,這一時間限制可由上述航空當局同意後縮短。

    (四) 運價的批准可由締約任何一方航空當局向提出運價申請的空運企業明確作出。但是,如締約任何一方航空當局在根據本條上一款所述的提交日期的三十(30)天內未收到締約另一方航空當局不予批准根據第(二)款所協商的運價,該等運價應視為已獲批准。在提交日期根據第(三)款縮短的情況下,雙方航空當局可同意通知任何批准的期限應少於三十(30)天。

    (五). 如未能根據第(二)款就某運價達成協議,或根據第(三)款所適用的日期,或根據本條第(四)款所適用的日期之內,一方航空當局發出不予批准根據第(二)款規定達成的某項運價,締約雙方航空當局應努力共同商定運價。

    (六) 如雙方航空當局未能就確定本條第(五)款所指的任何運價,該爭議應根據本協定第十八條的規定解決。

    (七) 根據本條的規定已經建立的某項運價在新運價制訂完成之前應持續有效。但某項實行中的運價不得根據本款在應失效之日十二(12)個月以後仍然有效。

    第八條

    證件及執照的承認

    (一) 締約一方頒發或核准有效的適航證、資格證和執照,在其有效期間,締約另一方應承認其有效,條件是頒發或核准此種證件或執照有效的要求至少相當於根據芝加哥公約可能制定的最低標準。

    (二) 然而,締約一方對為在其地區上空飛行,由締約另一方頒發或核准有效的對馬爾代夫共和國而言其自己國民和對澳門特別行政區而言其自己的居民的資格證和執照,保留拒絕承認其有效的權利。

    第九條

    海 關 稅

    (一) 締約一方指定的一家或多家空運企業經營國際航班的飛機應按下列各項免除所有海關關稅、消費稅和類似收費:

    條件是每次物品均為有關指定空運企業為建立或維持國際航班而在機上使用或在國際機場範圍內使用。

    (二) 免除關稅、消費稅和類似收費不應延伸於在締約另一方地區內以向締約一方指定空運企業提供服務的成本為基礎的收費。

    (四) 在締約一方指定的一家或多家空運企業已與另一家或多家空運企業關於在締約另一方地區內就租用或移交本條第(一)款所規定各項物品作出安排的情況下, 本條規定的免除辦法亦適用, 但該另一家或多家空運企業須同樣享有該締約另一方的此項免除。

    第十條

    航空保安

    (一) 確保民用飛機、其旅客和機組人員安全作為國際航班運營的基本前提,締約雙方重申彼此之間對保障民航安全免受非法行為干擾的責任(特別是根據芝加哥公約、一九六三年九月十四日在東京簽訂的關於在航空器內犯罪和犯有某些其他行為的公約、一九七零年十二月十六日在海牙簽訂的關於制止非法劫持航空器的公約, 以及一九七一年九月二十三日在蒙特利爾簽訂的關於制止危害民用航空安全的非法行為的公約的規定所負有的責任),構成本協定不可缺少的一個部分。

    (二) 締約雙方應根據請求相互提供一切必要的協助,以防止非法劫持民用飛機和其他危及該等飛機、其旅客和機組、機場和導航設施安全的非法行為, 以及危及民航安全的任何其他威脅。

    (三) 締約雙方在其相互關係中,應遵守航空保安標準,以及對締約雙方適用的國際民航組織所制定並指定為芝加哥公約附件的建議措施。締約雙方須要求在締約各方註冊的飛機經營人或以締約各方地區為主要經營地或永久駐地的飛機經營人, 以及在其地區內的機場經營人遵守該等航空保安規定。本款提到的航空保安標準包括有關締約方通知的任何差異。

    (四) 締約各方應確保在其地區內採取有效措施保護飛機, 在登機和裝機前或裝機時,對旅客及其手提物品實行透視檢查,對機組、貨物(包括裝貨艙的行李) 及機上供應品實施適當的檢查,並對上述措施加以調整以對付威脅的增加。締約各方同意其空運企業可能被要求遵守第(三)款中提及的締約另一方關於入境、出境及在締約另一方地區內的航空保安規定。同時締約各方對締約另一方為對付某項特定的威脅採取合理的特別保安措施的要求,亦應採取有利行動。

    (五) 倘若發生非法劫持民用飛機的事件或威脅,或其他針對該飛機、其旅客和機組、機場及航空導航設施安全的非法行為,締約雙方須互相協助提供通訊的便利及採取其他適當措施,以便盡速以最低的生命危險終止該事件或其威脅。

    第十一條

    航空安全

    (一) 締約一方可以就締約另一方在航空設施、空勤機組、飛機及其運營方面所保持的有關安全標準問題隨時要求進行協商。此協商應在提出要求之後的三十(30)天內進行。

    (二) 如果此種協商之後, 締約一方發現締約另一方在上述任何方面未能有效地保持和實施至少相當於當時根據芝加哥公約制定的最低的安全標準, 締約一方應將此等發現通知締約另一方,締約另一方應採取適當的步驟予以糾正。如締約另一方未能在合理時間內,且無論何種情況在十五(15)天內或可能同意的更長時期內採取適當行動,將有理由實施本協定第四條的規定。

    (三) 儘管有芝加哥公約第三十三條提及的義務,雙方同意締約一方一家或多家空運企業運營的來往於締約另一方地區航班的任何飛機,在締約另一方地區內時,可能成為檢查對象而由締約另一方當局代表登機及對飛機周圍進行檢查,對飛機及機組人員證件是否有效以及飛機及其設備的表面狀況進行檢查(本條中稱為“停機坪檢查”),只要此種檢查不會導致不合理的延誤。

    (四) 如果任何上述停機坪檢查或一系列的停機坪檢查結果﹕

    (a) 使對某架飛機或某架飛機的運營不符合根據芝加哥公約屆時所制定的最低標準產生嚴重關切﹔或

    (b) 使對缺乏有效保持和管理根據芝加哥公約屆時所制定的安全標準產生嚴重關切﹔

    為貫徹芝加哥公約第三十三條,執行檢查的締約方可自行作出結論,即對該架飛機或該架飛機的經營人或機組人員的證件或執照的頒發或核准有效的要求,沒有達到或高於當時根據芝加哥公約制定的最低標準。

    (五) 如果根據上述第(三)款對締約一方一家或多家空運企業經營的某架飛機實行的停機坪檢查遭到拒絕,締約另一方可自行推論,即存在上述第(四)款提及的那種嚴重關切,並得出該款提及的結論。

    (六) 如果締約一方不論由於一次停機坪檢查,或一系列停機坪檢查,或一次拒絕停機坪檢查、協商或其他形式的對話而得出結論,即為某空運企業或多家空運企業的運營安全必須立即採取緊急行動,締約各方保留立即暫停或改變某空運企業或多家空運企業的經營授權的權利。

    (七) 締約一方根據上述第(二)款或第(六)款所採取任何行動的條件一旦不復存在,則應停止該行動。

    第十二條

    航班時刻

    (一) 締約各方指定空運企業應提前三十(30)天將計劃航班的時刻表提交締約對方航空當局批准,列明班次、機型、座位佈局及將向公眾提供的座位數。

    (二) 某一空運企業已獲批准的時刻表此後如有任何更動,須提交締約另一方航空當局批准。

    (三) 如某空運企業希望進行經批准的時刻表範圍內航班的加班飛行,須得到有關締約方航空當局事先許可。

    第十三條

    提供統計

    締約一方航空當局應根據締約另一方航空當局的要求,向其提供合理需要的定期統計或其他統計資料,以審查本條前面提及的締約方指定空運企業在協議航班上提供的運力。此類資料應包括確定空運企業的協議航班所載運的業務量及其始發地和目的地所需的所有情況。

    第十四條

    收入的匯出

    (一) 締約各方指定空運企業有權根據締約另一方外匯法律和規定,將其在扣除當地開支後的收入餘額兌換並匯回本地區。締約各方應為此種兌換和匯款提供方便。兌換及匯款應以提出該收入兌換交易及匯款時的有效匯率進行,並且不得收取任何費用,銀行正常情況下對進行該兌換及匯款的收費除外。

    (二) 如締約雙方之間簽有償付制度的專門協議,則應適用該專門協議。

    第十五條

    空運企業代表處及銷售

    (一) 締約一方指定的一家或多家空運企業有權在對等基礎上,根據締約另一方關於入境、居留和就業的法律和規定,在締約另一方地區派駐和保留為提供航班所需的管理、技術、經營和其他專業人員。

    (二) 締約各方指定空運企業有權在締約對方地區通過其指定的一家或多家代理人從事航空運輸銷售。締約各方指定空運企業有權用當地貨幣或任何可自由兌換的其他貨幣銷售該運輸,任何人可以選擇以當地貨幣或任何可自由兌換的其他貨幣購買該運輸。

    第十六條

    使 用 費

    (一) 締約任何一方不得向締約另一方指定空運企業徵收或允許徵收高於向其自己經營類似國際航班的空運企業所徵收的費用。

    (二) 締約各方應鼓勵其主管收費當局與使用該收費當局提供的服務和設施的空運企業,在可行的情況下透過該等空運企業代表組織,就使用費進行協商。倘有任何更改空運企業使用費的建議,應合理預先通知該等用戶,以便他們在更改之前表達意見。締約各方還應鼓勵其主管收費當局與該等空運企業就使用費事宜交換有關的資料。

    第十七條

    協 商

    締約一方可隨時要求就本協定的執行、解釋、適用或修改進行協商。此協商可以在雙方航空當局之間進行,除非締約雙方另有協議,協商應在締約另一方收到書面要求之日起六十天(60)之內開始。

    第十八條

    解決爭議

    (一) 如果締約雙方就本協定的解釋或適用發生任何爭議, 締約雙方首先應設法通過談判直接解決。

    (二) 如果締約雙方未能通過談判解決爭議,他們可以協商將該項爭議提交雙方同意的人士或機構處理,或在締約任何一方的要求下,提交一個由三名仲裁員組成的仲裁庭裁決,仲裁庭的組成方式如下:

    (a)在接獲仲裁要求三十(30)天內,締約各方應委任一名仲裁員。在委任第二名仲裁員後六十(60)天之內, 經兩名仲裁員協議委任一名在該項爭議中可視為中立國家的國民為第三名仲裁員,該仲裁員應出任仲裁庭的主席。

    (b)若在上述規定的期限內,未能委任任何仲裁員,締約任何一方可以要求國際民航組織理事會主席在三十(30)天內委任所需的仲裁員。如該主席是某一國家的國民,而此國家在爭議中不能視為中立,仲裁員便由沒有因上述理由失去委任資格的最資深副主席委任。

    (三) 除非如本條下文所述或締約雙方另有協議,仲裁庭將確定其權限範圍和制訂自己的程序。在仲裁庭完全組成之後不遲於三十(30)天,應根據仲裁庭發出的指令或締約任何一方提出的請求,舉行確定仲裁的確切事項和須遵循的具體程序的會議。

    (四) 除非締約雙方另有協議或仲裁庭另有規定,締約各方必須在仲裁庭完全組成之後四十五(45)天內提交一份備忘錄。答覆期限為此後六十(60)天。在答覆期滿後三十(30)天之內,仲裁庭按締約任何一方的請求,或其自己決定舉行聽證會。

    (五) 仲裁庭應力爭在聽證會結束之後三十(30)天內,或如果未舉行聽證會時,在兩份答覆都已提交之日後的三十(30)天內,作出書面裁決。裁決按多數票作出。

    (六) 締約雙方可以在收到裁決之後十五(15)天內提出澄清裁決的要求,此種澄清應在收到此種要求之日十五(15)天內作出。

    (七).仲裁庭的裁決對締約雙方均具約束力。

    (八).締約各方將承擔其委任仲裁員的費用。仲裁庭的其他費用,包括國際民航組織理事會主席或副主席在執行本條第二款第二段程序時所產生的任何費用由締約雙方平均分攤。

    第十九條

    修 改

    (一) 締約雙方達成的對本協定的任何修改,應在締約雙方經適當途徑換函確認後生效。

    (二) 對於本協定附件的修改可在締約雙方航空當局之間直接協商。由此達成的修改應自上述當局協商同意之日起臨時適用,經適當途徑換函確認後生效。

    (三) 如任何國際公約或協議對締約雙方均產生約束力,則本協定應被認為已被該公約或協議的條款進行了修改。

    第二十條

    登 記

    本協定以及按照第十九條對本協定所作的任何修改須向國際民航組織登記。

    第二十一條

    終 止

    締約任何一方可以隨時以書面經適當途徑通知締約另一方其終止本協定的決定。此通知應同時發給國際民航組織。除非在期限到期之前協議撤銷終止通知,本協定自締約對方收到此通知十二(12)個月之後終止。在未接到締約對方確認收到通知的情況下,則在國際民航組織確認收到此通知十四(14)天後,應視為該通知已被收到。

    第二十二條

    (2) The tariffs referred to in paragraph (1) of this Article, shall, if possible be established by mutual agreement by the designated airline(s) of both Contracting Parties, and if applicable after consultation with the other airlines operating over the whole or part of the same route. Such agreement shall, wherever possible, be reached through the rate-fixing machinery of the International Air Transport Association for the working out of tariffs.

    (3) The tariffs so agreed shall be submitted for the approval of the aeronautical authorities of both Contracting Parties at least 45 (forty-five) days before the proposed date of their introduction. In special cases this period may be reduced, subject to the mutual agreement of the said authorities.

    (4) Approval of tariffs may be given expressly by the aeronautical authorities of either Contracting Party to the airline filing the tariffs. However, if neither of the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Parties gives the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party notice of their disapproval within 30 (thirty) days from the date of submission in accordance with the preceding paragraph of this Article, of the tariff agreed in accordance with paragraph (2) these tariffs shall be considered approved. In the event of the period for submission being reduced as provided for in paragraph (3), the aeronautical authorities may agree that the period within which any approval must be notified shall be less than 30 (thirty) days.

    (5) If a tariff cannot be agreed in accordance with paragraph (2) or if for the period applicable in accordance with paragraph (3), or during the period applicable in accordance with paragraph (4) of this Article, one of the aeronautical authorities gives notice of its disapproval of any tariff agreed upon in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2), the aeronautical authorities of the two Contracting Parties shall endeavour to determine the tariff by mutual agreement.

    (6) If the aeronautical authorities cannot agree on the determination of any tariff as specified in paragraph (5) of this Article, the dispute shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of this Agreement.

    (7) A tariff already established in accordance with the provisions of this Article shall remain in force until a new tariff has been established.

    Recognition of Certificates and Licences

    (1) Certificates of Airworthiness, certificates of competency and licences issued or rendered valid by either Contracting Party shall, during the period of their validity, be recognized as valid by the other Contracting Party, provided that the requirements under which such certificates or licences were issued or rendered valid are at least equal to the minimum standards which may be established pursuant to the Chicago Convention.

    (2) Each Contracting Party reserves the right, however, not to recognize as valid, for the purpose of flights over its own area, certificates of competency and licences granted to its own nationals in the case of the Republic of Maldives and to its own residents in the case of the Macao Special Administrative Region or rendered valid for them by the other Contracting Party.

    ARTICLE 9

    ARTICLE 10

    Aviation Security

    (1) The assurance of safety for civil aircraft, their passengers and crew being a fundamental pre-condition for the operation of international air services, the Contracting Parties reaffirm that their obligations to each other to provide for the security of civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference (and in particular their obligations under the Chicago Convention, the Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, signed at Tokyo on 14 September 1963, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, signed at The Hague on 16 December 1970 and the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal on 23 September 1971) form an integral part of this Agreement.

    (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 Standards and, so far as they are applied by them, the Recommended Practices established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and designated as Annexes to the Chicago Convention; and shall require that operators of aircraft of their registry, operators of aircraft who have their principal place of business or permanent residence in their area, and the operators of airports in their area, act in conformity with such aviation security provisions. In this paragraph the reference to aviation security Standards includes any difference notified by the Contracting Party concerned.

    (4) Each Contracting Party shall ensure that effective measures are taken within its area to protect aircraft, to screen passengers and their carry-on items, and to carry out appropriate checks on crew, cargo (including hold baggage) and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading and that those measures are adjusted to meet increases in the threat. Each Contracting Party agrees that its airlines may be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraph (3) required by the other Contracting Party, for entrance into, departure from, or while within, the area of that other Contracting Party. Each Contracting Party shall also act favourably upon any request from the other Contracting Party for reasonable special security measures to meet a particular threat.

    (5) 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 as rapidly as possible commensurate with minimum risk to life such incident or threat.

    ARTICLE 11

    Aviation Safety

    (1) Each Contracting Party may request consultations at any time concerning the safety standards maintained by the other Contracting Party in areas relating to aeronautical facilities, aircrews, aircraft and their operation. Such consultations shall take place within 30 (thirty) 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 such area that are at least to the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Chicago Convention, the first Contracting Party shall notify the other Contracting Party of those findings and the other Contracting Party shall take appropriate corrective action. Failure by the other Contracting Party to take appropriate action within a reasonable time, and in any case within 15 (fifteen) days or such longer period as may be agreed, shall be grounds for the application of Article 4 of this Agreement.

    (3) Notwithstanding the obligations mentioned in Article 33 of the Chicago Convention, it is agreed that any aircraft operated by the airline or airlines of one Contracting Party on services to or from the area of the other Contracting Party may, while within the area of the other Contracting Party, be made the subject of an examination by the authorities representative of the other Contracting Party on board and around the aircraft to check both the validity of the aircraft documents and those of the crew and the apparent condition of the aircraft and its equipment (in this Article called “ramp inspection”), provided this does not lead to unreasonable delay.

    (4) If any such ramp inspection or series of ramp inspections give rise to:

    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 Chicago Convention; or

    b) serious concerns that there is a lack of effective maintenance and administration of safety standards established at that time pursuant to the Chicago Convention;

    the Contracting Party carrying out the inspection shall, for the purpose of Article 33 of the Chicago Convention, be free to conclude that the requirements under which certificates or licences in respect of that aircraft or in respect of the operator or crew of that aircraft had been issued or rendered valid are not equal to or above the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Chicago Convention.

    (5) In the event that access for the purpose of undertaking a ramp inspection of an aircraft operated by the airline or airlines of one Contracting Party in accordance with paragraph (3) above is denied, the other Contracting Party shall be free to infer that serious concerns of the type referred to in paragraph (4) above 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 inspection, consultation or other form of dialogue, that immediate action is essential to the safety of an airline or airlines operation.

    (7) Any action by one Contracting Party in accordance with paragraph (2) or (6) above shall be discontinued once the basis for the taking of that action ceases to exist.

    ARTICLE 12

    Timetable

    (2) Any subsequent changes to the approved timetables of a designated airline shall be submitted for approval to the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party.

    (3) If a designated airline wishes to operate flights supplementary to those covered in the approved timetables, it shall obtain the prior permission of the aeronautical authorities of the Contracting Party concerned.

    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 the purpose of reviewing the capacity provided on the agreed services by the designated airlines of the Contracting Party referred to first in this Article. Such statements shall include all information required to determine the amount of traffic carried by those airlines on the agreed services and the origins and destinations of such traffic.

    ARTICLE 14

    Transfer of Earnings

    (1) The designated airlines of each Contracting Party shall have the right, in accordance with the foreign exchange laws and regulations of the other Contracting Party, to convert and remit to its area, revenues earned by it in excess of sums locally disbursed.

    (2) Where the payments systems between the Contracting Parties is governed by a special agreement, such special agreement shall apply.

    ARTICLE 15

    Airline Representation and Sales

    ARTICLE 16

    User Charges

    (1) Neither Contracting Party shall impose or permit to be imposed on the designated airlines of the other Contracting Party user charges higher than those imposed on its own airlines operating similar international air services.

    (2) Each Contracting Party shall encourage consultation on user charges between its competent charging authorities and airlines using the services and facilities provided by those charging authorities, where practicable through those airlines' representative organisations. Reasonable notice of any proposals for changes in user charges should be given to such users to enable them to express their views before changes are made. Each Contracting Party shall further encourage its competent charging authorities and such users 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.
