Article 7

Aviation Security

1. In accordance with their rights and obligations under

international law, the 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 Parties shall in

particular act in conformity with the provisions of the

Convention on Offenses and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board

Aircraft, done at Tokyo September 14, 1963, the Convention for

the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, done at The

Hague December 16, 1970, the Convention for the Suppression of

Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, done at

International Civil Aviation, done at Montreal February 24,

1988.

2. The 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, of their passengers and crew, and of airports and

air navigation facilities, and to address any other threat to

the security of civil air navigation.

3. The Parties shall, in their mutual relations, act in

conformity with the aviation security standards and appropriate

recommended practices established by the International Civil

Aviation Organization and designated as Annexes to the

Convention; they shall require that operators of aircraft of

Party shall also give positive consideration to any request from

the other Party for special security measures to meet a

particular threat.

5. When an incident or threat of an incident of unlawful

seizure of aircraft or other unlawful acts against the safety of

passengers, crew, aircraft, airports or air navigation

facilities occurs, the Parties shall assist each other by

facilitating communications and other appropriate measures

intended to terminate rapidly and safely such incident or

threat.

6. When a Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the

other Party has departed from the aviation security provisions

of this Article, the aeronautical authorities of that Party may

request immediate consultations with the aeronautical

authorities of the other Party. Failure to reach a satisfactory

agreement within 15 days from the date of such request shall

constitute grounds to withhold, revoke, limit, or impose
8

conditions on the operating authorization and technical

permissions of an airline or airlines of that Party. When

required by an emergency, a Party may take interim action prior

to the expiry of 15 days.

Article 8

Commercial Opportunities

establish offices in the territory of the other Party for the

promotion and sale of air transportation.

the provision of air transportation.

3. Each designated airline shall have the right to perform its

own ground-handling in the territory of the other Party ("selfhandling") or, at its option, select among competing agents for

such services in whole or in part. The rights shall be subject

only to physical constraints resulting from considerations of

airport safety. Where such considerations preclude selfhandling, ground 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.

4. Any airline of each Party may engage in the sale of air

transportation in the territory of the other Party directly and,

at the airline's discretion, through its agents, except as may

be specifically provided by the charter regulations of the

country in which the charter originates that relate to the

protection of passenger funds, and passenger cancellation and

refund rights. Each airline shall have the right to sell such

transportation, and any person shall be free to purchase such

transportation, in the currency of that territory or in freely

convertible currencies.

5. Each airline shall have the right to convert and remit to

its country, on demand, local revenues in excess of sums locally
9

disbursed. Conversion and remittance shall be permitted

promptly without restrictions or taxation in respect thereof at

the rate of exchange applicable to current transactions and

remittance on the date the carrier makes the initial application

for remittance.

6. The airlines of each Party shall be permitted to pay for

local expenses, including purchases of fuel, in the territory of

the other Party in local currency. At their discretion, the

airlines of each Party may pay for such expenses in the

territory of the other Party in freely convertible currencies

according to local currency regulation.

7. In operating or holding out the authorized services on the

agreed routes, any designated airline of one Party may enter

into cooperative marketing arrangements such as blocked-space,

code-sharing or leasing arrangements, with

a) an airline or airlines of either Party;

b) an airline or airlines of a third country; and

c) a surface transportation provider of any country;

provided that all participants in such arrangements (i) hold the

appropriate authority and (ii) meet the requirements normally

applied to such arrangements.

airlines and indirect providers of cargo transportation of both

Parties shall be permitted, without restriction, to employ in

connection with international air transportation any surface

transportation for cargo to or from any points in the

territories of the Parties or in third countries, including

transport to and from all airports with customs facilities, and

including, where applicable, the right to transport cargo in

bond under applicable laws and regulations. Such cargo, whether

moving by surface or by air, shall have access to airport

customs processing and facilities. Airlines may elect to

perform their own surface transportation or to provide it

through arrangements with other surface carriers, including

surface transportation operated by other airlines and indirect

providers of cargo air transportation. Such intermodal cargo

services may be offered at a single, through price for the air
10

and surface transportation combined, provided that shippers are

not misled as to the facts concerning such transportation.

Article 10

User Charges

1. User charges that may be imposed by the competent charging

authorities or bodies of each Party on the airlines of the other

Party shall be just, reasonable, not unjustly discriminatory,

and equitably apportioned among categories of users. In any

event, any such user charges shall be assessed on the airlines

of the other Party on terms not less favorable than the most

favorable terms available to any other airline at the time the

charges are assessed.

2. User charges imposed on the 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

assets, after depreciation. Facilities and services for which
12

charges are made shall be provided on an efficient and economic

basis.

Article. Each Party shall encourage the competent charging

authorities to provide users with reasonable notice of any

proposal for changes in user charges to enable users to express

their views before changes are made.

designated airlines of both Parties to compete in providing the

international air transportation governed by this Agreement.

2. Each Party shall allow each designated airline to determine

the frequency and capacity of the international air

transportation it offers based upon commercial considerations in

the marketplace. Consistent with this right, neither Party

shall unilaterally limit the volume of traffic, frequency or

regularity of service, or the aircraft type or types operated by

the designated airlines of the other Party, except as may be

required for customs, technical, operational, or environmental

reasons under uniform conditions consistent with Article 15 of

the Convention.
13

3. Neither Party shall impose on the other Party's designated

airlines a first-refusal requirement, uplift ratio, no-objection

fee, or any other requirement with respect to capacity,

frequency or traffic that would be inconsistent with the

purposes of this Agreement.

programs for charter flights, or operational plans by airlines

of the other Party for approval, except as may be required on a

non-discriminatory basis to enforce the uniform conditions

foreseen by paragraph 2 of this Article or as may be

specifically authorized in an Annex to this Agreement. If a

Party requires filings for information purposes, it shall

minimize the administrative burdens of filing requirements and

procedures on air transportation intermediaries and on

designated airlines of the other Party.

Article 12

Pricing

1. Each Party shall allow prices for air transportation to be

established by each designated airline based upon commercial

considerations in the marketplace. Intervention by the Parties

shall be limited to:

a. prevention of unreasonably discriminatory prices or

practices;

b. protection of consumers from prices that are

unreasonably high or restrictive due to the abuse of a dominant

position; and

c. protection of airlines from prices that are

artificially low due to direct or indirect governmental subsidy

or support.

2. Prices for international air transportation between the

territories of the Parties shall not be required to be filed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the designated airlines of the

Parties shall continue to provide immediate access, on request,

to information on historical, existing, and proposed prices to

the aeronautical authorities of the Parties in a manner and

format'acceptable to those aeronautical authorities.
14

3. Neither Party shall take unilateral action to prevent the

inauguration or continuation of a price proposed to be charged

or charged by (i) an airlihe of either Party for international

air transportation between the territories of the Parties, or

(ii) an airline of one Party for international air

transportation between the territory of the other Party and any

other country, including , in both cases transportation'on an

interline or intraline basis. If either Party believes that any

such price is inconsistent with the considerations set forth in

paragraph 1 of this Article, it shall request consultations and

notify the other Party of the reasons for its dissatisfaction as

soon as possible. These consultations shall be held not later

than 30 days after receipt of the request, and the Parties shall

cooperate in securing information necessary for reasoned

resolution of the issue. If the Parties reach agreement with

respect to a price for which a notice of dissatisfaction has

been given, each Party shall use its best efforts to put that

agreement into effect. Without such mutual agreement, the price

shall go into effect or continue in effect.

Article 13

Consultations

Either Party may, at any time, request consultations relating to

this Agreement. Such consultations shall begin at the earliest

possible date, but not later than 60 days from the date the

other Party receives the request unless otherwise agreed.

Article 14

Settlement of Disputes

may arise under paragraph 3 of Article 12 (Pricing), that is not

resolved by a first round of formal consultations may be

referred by agreement of the Parties for decision to some person

or body. If the Parties do not so agree, the dispute shall, at

the request of either Party, be submitted to arbitration in

accordance with the procedures set forth below.
15

2. Arbitration shall be by a tribunal of three arbitrators to

be constituted as follows:

a. Within 30 days after the receipt of a request for

arbitration, each Party shall name one arbitrator. Within 60

days after these two arbitrators have been named, they shall by

agreement appoint a third arbitrator, who shall act as President

of the arbitral tribunal;

b. If either Party fails to name an arbitrator, or if the

third arbitrator is not appointed in accordance with

subparagraph a of this paragraph, either Party may request the

President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation

Organization to appoint the necessary arbitrator or arbitrators

within 30 days. If the President of the Council is of the same

nationality as one of the Parties, the most senior Vice

President who is not disqualified on that ground shall make the

appointment.

3. Except as otherwise agreed, the arbitral tribunal shall

determine the limits of its jurisdiction in accordance with this

Agreement and shall establish its own procedural rules. The

tribunal, once formed, may recommend interim relief measures

pending its final determination. At the direction of the

tribunal or at the request of either of the Parties, a

conference to determine the precise issues to be arbitrated and

the specific procedures to be followed shall be held not later

than 15 days after the tribunal is fully constituted.

4. Except as otherwise agreed or as directed by the tribunal,

each Party shall submit a memorandum within 45 days of the time

the tribunal is fully constituted. Replies shall be due 60 days

later. The tribunal shall hold a hearing at the request of

either Party or on its own initiative within 15 days after

replies are due.

within 30 days after completion of the hearing or, if no hearing

is held, after the date both replies are submitted. The

decision of the majority of the tribunal shall prevail.

decision within 15 days after it is rendered and any

clarification given shall be issued within 15 days of such

request.
16

7. Each Party shall, to the degree consistent with its

national law, give full effect to any decision or award of the

arbitral tribunal.

and expenses of the arbitrators, shall be shared equally by the

Parties. Any expenses incurred by the President of the Council

of the International Civil Aviation Organization in connection

with the procedures of paragraph 2b of this Article shall be

considered to be part of the expenses of the arbitral tribunal.

other Party of its decision to terminate this Agreement. Such

notice shall be sent simultaneously to the International Civil

Aviation Organization. This Agreement shall terminate at

midnight (at the place of receipt of the notice to the other

Party) immediately before the first anniversary of the date of

receipt of the notice by the other Party, unless the notice is

withdrawn by agreement of the Parties before the end of this

period. Should the other Party fail to acknowledge receipt of

this notice, the notice shall be deemed to have been received by

the other Party 14 days after the date of its receipt by the

international charter air transportation originating in the

territory of either Party, whether on a one-way or round-trip

basis, shall have the option of complying with the charter laws,
21

regulations, and rules either of its homeland or of the other

Party. If a Party applies different rules, regulations, terms,

conditions, or limitations to one or more of its airlines, or to

airlines of different countries, each designated airline shall

be subject to the least restrictive of such criteria.

B. However, nothing contained in the above paragraph shall

basis, to submit more than a declaration of conformity with the

applicable laws, regulations and rules referred to under section

2 of this Annex or of a waiver of these laws, regulations, or

rules granted by the applicable aeronautical authorities.

ANNEX III

Principles of Non-Discrimination Within

and Competition among Computer Reservations Systems

Recognizing that Article 11 (Fair Competition) of this Agreement

guarantees the airlines of both Parties "a fair and equal

opportunity to compete,"

Considering that one of the most important aspects of the

ability of an airline to compete is its ability to inform the

public of its services in a fair and impartial manner, and that,

therefore, the quality of information about airline services

available to travel agents who directly distribute such

information to the traveling public and the ability of an

airline to offer those agents competitive computer reservations

systems (CRSs) represent the foundation for an airline's

competitive opportunities, and
22

Considering that it is equally necessary to ensure that the

interests of the consumers of air transport products are

protected from any misuse of such information and its misleading

presentation and that airlines and travel agents have access to

effectively competitive computer reservations systems:

1. The Parties agree that CRSs will have integrated primary

displays for which:

a. Information regarding international air services,

including the construction of connections on those services,

shall be edited and displayed based on non-discriminatory and

objective criteria that are not influenced, directly or

indirectly, by airline or market identity. Such criteria shall

apply uniformly to all participating airlines.

b. CRS data bases shall be as comprehensive as possible.

c. CRS vendors shall not delete information submitted by

participating airlines; such information shall be accurate and

transparent; for example, code-shared and change-of-gauge

flights and flights with stops should be clearly identified as

having those characteristics.

d. All CRSs that are available to travel agents who

directly distribute information about airline services to the

traveling public in either Party's territory shall not only be

obligated to, but shall also be entitled to, operate in

conformance with the CRS rules that apply in the territory where

the CRS is being operated.

e. Travel agents shall be allowed to use any of the

secondary displays available through the CRS so long as the

travel agent makes a specific request for that display.

2. A Party shall require that each CRS vendor operating in its

territory allow all airlines willing to pay any applicable nondiscriminatory fee to participate in its CRS. A Party shall

require that all distribution facilities that a system vendor

provides shall be offered on a non-discriminatory basis to

participating airlines. A Party shall require that CRS vendors

display, on a non-discriminatory, objective, carrier-neutral and

market-neutral basis, the international air services of

participating airlines in all markets in which they wish to sell

those services. Upon request, a CRS vendor shall disclose
23

details of its data base update and storage procedures, its

criteria for editing and ranking information, the weight given

to such criteria, and the criteria used for selection of connect

points and inclusion of connecting flights.

3. CRS vendors operating in the territory of one Party shall

be entitled to bring in, maintain, and make freely available

their CRSs to travel agencies or travel companies whose

principal business is the distribution of travel-related

products in the territory of the other Party if the CRS complies

with these principles.

4. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to

be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more stringent

requirements with respect to access to and use of communication

facilities, selection and use of technical CRS hardware and

software, and the technical installation of CRS hardware, than

those imposed on its own CRS vendors.

5. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to

be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more

restrictive requirements with respect to CRS displays (including

edit and display parameters), operation, or sale than those

imposed on its own CRS vendors.

G. CRSs in use in the territory of one Party that comply with

these principles and other relevant non-discriminatory

regulatory, technical, and security standards shall be entitled

to effective and unimpaired access in the territory of the other

Party. One aspect of this is that a designated airline shall

participate in such a system as fully in its homeland territory

as it does in any system offered to travel agents in the

territory of the other Party. Owners/operators of CRSs of one

Party shall have the same opportunity to own/operate CRSs that

conform to these principles within the territory of the other

Party as do owners/operators of that Party. Each Party shall

ensure that its airlines and its CRS vendors do not discriminate

against travel agents in their homeland territory because of

their use or possession of a CRS also operated in the territory

of the other Party.

e tij te - lejoje to gjitha shoqerite ajrore me vullnet te kryejne

pagesen ne menyre jo-diskriminuese per te marre pjese ne SRK e

tij. Nje Pale mund te kerkoje qe te gjitha mjetet lehtesuese te

shperndarjes qe nje shites sistemi siguron do te ofohet mbi baza

jo-diskriminuese per te shoqerite ajrore pjesemarrese. Nje Pale do

te kerkoje qe shitésit e SRK te paraqesin hapur mbi baza jodiskriminuese, objektive, pa ndikime te kompanisé ose te tregut,

sherbimet ajrore nderkombetare te shocierive ajrore pjesemarrese

ne to gjithe tregjet ne te cilat ato deshirojne te shesin keto

sherbime. Me kerkese, nje shites SRK duhet te kete te hapura

22
hollesite e te dherpave te tij baze te koheve te fundit dhe te

procedurave to ruajtjes, kriteret e tij per shtypjen dhe renditjen e

informacionit, peshen e dhene per kritere te tilla dhe kriterin e

pErdorur per seleksionimin e pikave te lidhjes (konekshen) dhe

futjen e fluturimeve to lidhura.

3. Shitesit SRK qe operojne ne territorin e nje Pale duhet te jene te

titulluara te sjellin, to mbajne, dhe te bejne te vlefshme pa pagese

SRK e tyre per agjencite e udhètimit ose kompanith e udhetimit,

per te cilat biznesi i tyre kryesor eshth shperndarja e produkteve

ne lidhje me udhetimin ne territorin e Pales tjeter nese SRK

perputhet me keto parime.

4. Asnje Pale, ne territorin e saj nuk do te imponoje ose te lejojE te

imponojne mbi shitesit e SRK te Pales tjeter kerkesa me

shtrenguese ne lidhje me hyrjen tek dhe perdorimin e mjeteve

ndihmese lehtesuese, seleksionoimin dhe perdorimin e hardeare

teknik te SRK si dhe te softeare dhe instalimet teknike te hardEare

SRK, se sa ato te imponuara mbi shitesit e saj te SRK.

5. Asnje Pale, ne territorin e saj nuk do te imponoje ose te lejojE te

imponojne mbi shitEsit e SRK te Pales tjeter kerkesa me kufizuese

ne lidhje me displein e SR.K. (perfshi shtypjen dhe parametrat e

SRK), operimit, ose te shitjes se sa te atyre to imponuara mbi

shitesit e saj te SRK.

6. SRK ne perdorim ne territorin e nje Pale qE vepron ne perputhje

me keto parime dhe standarte te tjera perkatese teknike dhe te

sigurisE, rregulla mosdiskriminimi do to titullohet per to pater

hyrje efektive dhe ne mEnyre uniforme ne territorin e Pales tjeter.

NjE aspekt i kesaj EshtE qe nje shociEri ajrore e percaktuar do te

marre pjese ne nje sistem te tine plothsisht si ne territorin e vendit

te vet po ashtu ne nje sistem to ofruar tek agjentet e udhetimit ne

territorin e Pales tjeter. PronarEt/operatoret e SRK te nje Pale do

te kene te njejten mundesi tek SRK e operimit te tij qe eshte

konform me keto parime brenda territorit te Pales tjeter po ashtu

dhe per operatoret/pronaret e asaj Pale. Cdo Pale do te siguroje

qe shocierite e saj ajrore dhe shitesit e saj te SRK te mos

diskriminohen perkundrejt agjenteve to udhetimit ne territorin e

vendit to tij per arEsye te perdorimit te tyre ose posedimit te nje

SRK qe operon gjithashtu ne territorin e Pales tjeter.
