1. The competent authorities of either Contracting Party may 
refuse, revoke, suspend or limit the operating authorisations or 
otherwise suspend or limit the operations of an air carrier of

2. Unless immediate action is essential to prevent further 
non-compliance with points (c) or (d) of paragraph 1, the 
rights established by the present Article to refuse, revoke, 
suspend or limit authorisations or permissions of any air 
carrier of a Contracting Party shall be exercised only 
according to the procedure prescribed in Article 23 (Safeguard 
measures) of this Agreement. In any case, the exercise of these 
rights shall be appropriate, proportionate and restricted with 
regard to scope and duration to what is strictly necessary. 
They shall be exclusively directed towards the air carrier or 
air carriers concerned, and shall be without prejudice to the 
right of either Contracting Party to take action under Article 22 
(Dispute resolution and arbitration).  
3. Neither Contracting Party shall use its rights established by 
the present Article to refuse, revoke, suspend or limit authori ­
sations or permissions of any air carriers of a Contracting Party 
on the grounds that majority ownership and effective control of 
that air carrier is vested in another Euromed Country or its 
nationals, provided that such Euromed Country is party to a 
similar Euro Mediterranean Aviation Agreement and offers 
reciprocal treatment.  
Article 4 bis  
Reciprocal Recognition of Regulatory Determinations with 
Regard to Airline Fitness and Citizenship  
1. Upon receipt of an application for authorisation from an 
air carrier of one Contracting Party, the competent authorities 
of the other Contracting Party shall recognise any fitness and/or 
citizenship determination made by the competent authorities of 
the first Contracting Party with respect to that air carrier as if 
such determination had been made by its own competent auth ­
orities, and shall not inquire further into such matters, except as 
provided for in paragraph 2 below.  
2. If, after receipt of an application for authorisation from an 
air carrier, or after the grant of such authorisation, the 
competent authorities of the receiving Contracting Party have 
a specific reason based on a reasonable doubt for concern that, 
despite the determination made by the competent authorities of 
the other Contracting Party, the conditions prescribed in 
Article 3 (Authorisation) of this Agreement for the grant of 
appropriate authorisations or permissions have not been met, 
then they shall promptly advise those authorities, giving 
substantive reasons for their concern. In that event, either 
Contracting Party may seek consultations, which may include 
representatives of the competent authorities of both Contracting 
Parties, and/or additional information relevant to this concern, 
and such requests shall be met as soon as practicable. If the 
matter remains unresolved, either Contracting Party may bring 
the matter to the Joint Committee set up under Article 21 (The 
Joint Committee) of this Agreement.EN 6.12.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 334/7
3. The present Article does not cover recognition of deter ­
minations in relation to:  
— Safety certificates or licences,  
— Security arrangements, or  
— Insurance coverage.  
Article 5  
Investment  
1. Jordan may take arrangements to allow majority 
ownership and/or the effective control of air carriers of 
Jordan by Member States or their nationals.  
2. Upon verification by the Joint Committee in accordance 
with Article 21(10) (The Joint Committee) that reciprocal 
arrangements exist, the Contracting Parties shall allow 
majority ownership and/or the effective control of air carriers 
of Jordan by Member States or their nationals, or of air carriers 
of the European Union by Jordan or its nationals.  
3. Specific investment projects under the present Article shall 
be authorised by virtue of preliminary decisions of the Joint 
Committee established by this Agreement. These decisions 
may specify the conditions associated with the operation of 
the agreed services under this Agreement and with the 
services between third Countries and the Contracting Parties. 
The provisions of Article 21(9) (The Joint Committee) of this 
Agreement shall not apply to this type of decision.  
Article 6  
Compliance with laws and regulations  
1. While entering, within, or leaving the territory of one 
Contracting Party, the laws and regulations applicable within 
that territory relating to the admission to or departure from 
its territory of aircraft engaged in international air transport, 
or to the operation and navigation of aircraft shall be 
complied with by the other Contracting Party’s air carriers.  
2. While entering, within, or leaving the territory of one 
Contracting Party, the laws and regulations applicable within 
that territory relating to the admission to or departure from 
its territory of passengers, crew or cargo on aircraft (including 
regulations relating to entry, clearance, immigration, passports, 
customs and quarantine or, in the case of mail, postal regu ­
lations) shall be complied with by, or on behalf of, such 
passengers, crew or cargo of the other Contracting Party’s air 
carriers.  
Article 7  
Competitive environment  
1. The Contracting Parties reaffirm the application to this 
Agreement of the principles of Chapter II of Title IV of the 
Association Agreement.  
2. The Contracting Parties acknowledge that it is their joint 
objective to secure fair and equal opportunities for the air carriers of both sides to operate the Agreed Services. In order to 
achieve this, it is necessary to have a fair and competitive 
environment for the operation of air services. The Contracting 
Parties recognise that fair competitive practices by air carriers 
are most likely to occur where these air carriers provide air 
services on a fully commercial basis and are not subsidised.  
3. When a Contracting Party deems it essential to grant 
public subsidies to an air carrier operating under this 
Agreement in order to achieve a legitimate objective, it shall 
see to it that such subsidies are proportionate to the objective, 
transparent and designed to minimise, to the extent feasible, 
their adverse impact on the air carriers of the other Contracting 
Party. The Contracting Party intending to grant any such 
subsidy shall inform the other Contracting Party of its 
intention and shall make sure that such subsidy is consistent 
with the criteria laid down in this Agreement.  
4. If one Contracting Party finds that conditions exist in the 
Territory of the other Contracting Party, in particular due to a 
subsidy, inconsistent with the criteria laid down in paragraph 3 
which would adversely affect the fair and equal opportunity of 
its air carriers to compete, it may submit observations to the 
other Contracting Party. Furthermore, it may request a meeting 
of the Joint Committee, as provided for in Article 21 (The Joint 
Committee) of this Agreement. From the receipt of such a 
request consultations shall start within 30 days. When a 
dispute cannot be settled by the Joint Committee, the 
Contracting Parties retain the possibility of applying their 
respective anti-subsidy measures.  
5. The actions, referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article, 
shall be appropriate, proportionate and restricted with regard 
to scope and duration to what is strictly necessary. They shall 
be exclusively directed towards the air carrier or air carriers 
benefiting from a subsidy or the conditions referred to in this 
Article, and shall be without prejudice to the right of either 
Contracting Party to take action under Article 23 (Safeguard 
Measures) of this Agreement.  
6. Each Contracting Party, upon notification to the other 
Contracting Party, may approach responsible government 
entities in the territory of the other Contracting Party 
including entities at the state, provincial or local level to 
discuss matters relating to this Article.  
7. The provisions of this Article shall apply without prejudice 
to the Contracting Parties’ laws and regulations regarding public 
service obligations in the territories of the Contracting Parties.  
Article 8  
Commercial Opportunities  
Air carrier Representatives  
1. The air carriers of each Contracting Party shall have the 
right to establish offices in the territory of the other Contracting 
Party for the promotion and sale of air transport and related 
activities.EN L 334/8 Official Journal of the European Union 6.12.2012
2. The air carriers of each Contracting Party shall be entitled, 
in accordance with the laws and regulations of the other 
Contracting Party relating to entry, residence, and employment, 
to bring in and maintain in the territory of the other 
Contracting Party managerial, sales, technical, operational, and 
other specialist staff who are required to support the provision 
of air transport.  
Ground-Handling  
3. (a) Without prejudice to point (b) below, each air carrier 
shall have in relation to ground-handling in the 
Territory of the other Contracting Party:  
(i) the right to perform its own ground-handling 
(‘self-handling’) or, at its option;  
(ii) the right to select among competing suppliers that 
provide ground-handling services in whole or in 
part where such suppliers are allowed market 
access on the basis of the laws and regulations 
of each Contracting Party, and where such 
suppliers are present in the market.  
(b) For the following categories of ground-handling 
services i.e. baggage handling, ramp handling, fuel 
and oil handling, freight and mail handling as 
regards the physical handling of freight and mail 
between the air terminal and the aircraft, the rights 
under point (a)(i) and (ii) shall be subject only to 
physical or operational constraints according to the 
laws and regulations applicable in the Territory of 
the other Contracting Party. Where such constraints 
preclude self-handling and where there is no effective 
competition between suppliers that provide ground- 
handling services, all such services shall be available 
on an equal and non-discriminatory basis to all air 
carriers; prices of such services shall not exceed their 
full cost including a reasonable return on assets, after 
depreciation.  
Sales, Local Expenses, and Transfer of Funds  
4. Any air carrier of each Contracting Party may engage in 
the sale of air transport in the territory of the other Contracting 
Party directly and/or, at the air carrier’s discretion, through its 
sales agents, other intermediaries appointed by the air carrier or 
through the internet. Each air carrier 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 air carrier shall have the right to convert and remit 
from the territory of the other Contracting Party to its home 
territory and, except where inconsistent with generally 
applicable law or regulation, to the country or countries of its 
choice, on demand, local revenues. 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 air carriers of each Contracting Party shall be 
permitted to pay for local expenses, including purchases of fuel, in the territory of the other Contracting Party in local 
currency. At their discretion, the air carriers of each Contracting 
Party may pay for such expenses in the territory of the other 
Contracting Party in freely convertible currencies according to 
local currency regulation.  
Cooperative arrangements  
7. In operating or holding out services under this Agreement, 
any air carrier of a Contracting Party may enter into cooperative 
marketing arrangements, such as blocked-space agreements or 
code-sharing arrangements, with:  
(a) any air carrier or carriers of the Contracting Parties; and  
(b) any air carrier or carriers of a third country; and  
(c) any surface, land or maritime carriers;  
provided that (i) all participants in such arrangements hold the 
appropriate underlying route authority and (ii) the arrangements 
meet the requirements relating to safety and competition 
normally applied to such arrangements. In respect of 
passenger transport sold involving code-shares, the purchaser 
shall be informed at the point of sale, or in any case before 
boarding, which transportation providers will operate each 
sector of the service.  
8. (a) In relation to the transport of passengers, surface 
transportation providers shall not be subject to laws 
and regulations governing air transport on the sole 
basis that such surface transportation is held out by 
an air carrier under its own name. Surface transpor ­
tation providers have the discretion to decide whether 
to enter into cooperative arrangements. In deciding on 
any particular arrangement, surface transportation 
providers may consider, among other things, 
consumer interests and technical, economic, space, 
and capacity constraints.  
(b) Moreover, and notwithstanding any other provision of 
this Agreement, air carriers and indirect providers of 
cargo transportation of the Contracting Parties shall 
be permitted, without restriction, to employ in 
connection with international air transport any 
surface transportation for cargo to or from any 
points in the territories of Jordan and the European 
Union, or in third countries, including transport to 
and from all airports with customs facilities, and 
including, where applicable, the right[s] 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 facil ­
ities. Air carriers may elect to perform their own 
surface transportation or to provide it through 
arrangements with other surface carriers, including 
surface transportation operated by other air carriers 
and indirect providers of cargo air transport. Such 
intermodal cargo services may be offered at a single,EN 6.12.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 334/9
through price for the air and surface transportation

Annex IV, in order to exploit the rights envisaged in 
this Agreement, shall remain exceptional or meet 
temporary needs. The wet-lease shall be submitted 
for prior approval of the licensing authority of the 
leasing air carrier and to the competent authority of 
the other Contracting Party to where it is intended to 
operate the wet-leased aircraft.  
Franchising and Branding  
10. The air carriers of each Contracting Party shall be 
entitled to enter into franchising or branding arrangements 
with companies, including air carriers, of either Contracting

the Contracting Parties shall be carried out in an independent, 
transparent and non-discriminatory manner. All the air carriers 
will be treated on a fair and equal basis. In accordance with 
Article 21(5) (The Joint Committee), a Contracting Party may 
request a meeting of the Joint Committee to seek to resolve any 
question related to the application of the present paragraph.  
Article 9  
Customs duties and charges  
1. On arriving in the territory of one Contracting Party, 
aircraft operated in international air transport by the air 
carriers of the other Contracting Party, their regular equipment, 
fuel, lubricants, consumable technical supplies, ground 
equipment, spare parts (including engines), aircraft stores 
(including but not limited to such items of food, beverages 
and liquor, tobacco and other products destined for sale to or use by passengers in limited quantities during flight), and other 
items intended for or used solely in connection with the 
operation or servicing of aircraft engaged in international air

import restrictions, property taxes and capital levies, customs 
duties, excise taxes, and similar fees and charges that are (a) 
imposed by the national or local authorities or the European 
Union, and (b) not based on the cost of services provided, 
provided that such equipment and supplies remain on board 
the aircraft.  
2. There shall also be exempt, on the basis of reciprocity, 
from the taxes, levies, duties, fees and charges referred to in 
paragraph 1 of this Article, with the exception of charges based 
on the cost of the service provided:  
(a) aircraft stores introduced into or supplied in the territory of 
a Contracting Party and taken on board, within reasonable

Contracting Party engaged in international air transport, 
even when these stores are to be used on a part of the 
journey performed over the said territory; and  
(e) safety and security equipment for use at airports or cargo 
terminals.  
3. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, 
nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Contracting Party 
from imposing taxes, levies, duties, fees or charges on fuel 
supplied in its territory on a non-discriminatory basis for use 
in an aircraft of an air carrier that operates between two points 
in its territory.  
4. Equipment and supplies referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 
of this Article may be required to be kept under the supervision 
or control of the appropriate authorities.EN L 334/10 Official Journal of the European Union 6.12.2012

available where the air carriers of one Contracting Party have 
contracted with another air carrier, which similarly enjoys such 
exemptions from the other Contracting Party, for the loan or 
transfer in the Territory of the other Contracting Party of the 
items specified in paragraphs 1 and 2.  
6. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either 
Contracting Party from imposing taxes, levies, duties, fees or

Article 10  
User Charges for Airports and Aviation Facilities and 
Services  
1. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that user charges that 
may be imposed by its competent charging authorities or bodies 
on the air carriers of the other Contracting Party for the use of 
air navigation and air traffic control services shall be just, 
reasonable, cost-related and not unjustly discriminatory. In 
any event, any such user charges shall be assessed on the air 
carriers of the other Contracting Party on terms not less 
favourable than the most favourable terms available to any 
other air carrier.  
2. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that user charges that 
may be imposed by its competent charging authorities or bodies 
on the air carriers of the other Contracting Party for the use of 
airport, aviation security and related facilities and services shall 
be just, reasonable, not unjustly discriminatory, and equitably 
apportioned among categories of users. These charges may 
reflect, but shall not exceed, the full cost to the competent 
charging authorities or bodies of providing the appropriate 
airport and aviation security facilities and services at that 
airport or within that airport’s system. These charges may 
include a reasonable return on assets, after depreciation. 
Facilities and services for which user charges are made shall 
be provided on an efficient and economic basis. In any event, 
these charges shall be assessed on the air carriers of the other 
Contracting Party on terms not less favourable than the most 
favourable terms available to any other air carrier at the time 
the charges are assessed.  
3. Each Contracting Party shall ensure consultations between 
the competent charging authorities or bodies in its territory and 
the air carriers or their representative bodies using the services 
and facilities, and shall ensure the competent charging auth ­
orities or bodies and the air carriers or their representative bodies to exchange such information as may be necessary to 
permit an accurate review of the reasonableness of the charges 
in accordance with the principles of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this 
article. Each Contracting Party shall ensure the competent 
charging authorities to provide users with reasonable notice of 
any proposal for changes in user charges to enable those auth ­
orities to consider the views expressed by the users before 
changes are made.  
4. Neither Contracting Party shall be held, in dispute 
resolution procedures pursuant to Article 22 (Dispute 
Resolution and Arbitration) of this Agreement, to be in 
breach of a provision of this Article, unless (a) it fails to 
undertake a review of the charge or practice that is the 
subject of complaint by the other Contracting Party within a 
reasonable amount of time; or (b) following such a review it 
fails to take all steps within its power to remedy any charge or 
practice that is inconsistent with this Article.  
Article 11  
Pricing  
1. The Contracting Parties shall permit prices to be freely 
established by the air carriers on the basis of free and fair 
competition.

REGULATORY COOPERATION  
Article 13  
Aviation safety  
1. The Contracting Parties shall ensure that their legislation 
delivers, at a minimum, the standards specified in Part A of 
Annex III, under the conditions set out hereafter.EN 6.12.2012 Official Journal of the European Union L 334/11
2. The Contracting Parties shall ensure that aircraft registered 
in one Contracting Party suspected of non-compliance with 
international aviation safety standards established pursuant to 
the Convention landing at airports open to international air 
traffic in the territory of the other Contracting Party shall be 
subject to ramp inspections by the competent authorities of that 
other Contracting Party, on board and around the aircraft to 
check both the validity of the aircraft documents and those of 
its crew and the apparent condition of the aircraft and its 
equipment.  
3. Either Contracting Party may request consultations at any 
time concerning the safety standards maintained by the other 
Contracting Party.  
4. Either competent authorities of a Contracting Party may 
take all appropriate and immediate measures whenever they 
ascertain that an aircraft, a product or an operation may:  
(a) fail to satisfy the minimum standards established pursuant 
to the Convention, the legislation specified in Part A of 
Annex III, or the equivalent Jordanian Legislation 
compliant with paragraph 1 of this Article, whichever is 
applicable;  
(b) give rise to serious concerns — established through an 
inspection referred to in paragraph 2 — that an aircraft 
or the operation of an aircraft does not comply with the 
minimum standards established pursuant to the Convention, 
the legislation specified in Part A of Annex III, or the 
equivalent Jordanian Legislation compliant with paragraph 
1 of this Article, whichever is applicable; or  
(c) give rise to serious concerns that there is a lack of effective 
maintenance and administration of minimum standards 
established pursuant to the Convention, the legislation 
specified in Part A of Annex III, or the equivalent 
Jordanian Legislation compliant with paragraph 1 of this 
Article, whichever is applicable.  
5. Where the competent authorities of one Contracting Party 
take action under paragraph 4, they shall promptly inform the 
competent authorities of the other Contracting Party of taking 
such action, providing reasons for its action.  
6. Where measures taken in application of paragraph 4 are 
not discontinued even though the basis for taking them has 
ceased to exist, either Contracting Party may refer the matter 
to the Joint Committee.  
Article 14  
Aviation Security  
1. The Contracting Parties shall ensure that their legislation 
delivers, at a minimum, the standards specified in Part B of 
Annex III to this Agreement, under the conditions set out here ­
after.  
2. 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 
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, the Convention for 
the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil 
Aviation, signed at Montreal on 23 September 1971, the 
Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at 
Airports Serving International Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal 
on 24 February 1988 and the Convention on the marking of 
plastic explosives for purpose of detection signed at Montreal 
on 1 March 1991, insofar as both Contracting Parties are 
parties to these conventions, as well as all other conventions 
and protocols relating to civil aviation security of which both 
Contracting Parties are parties.  
3. 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.  
4. 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 estab ­
lished by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) 
and designated as Annexes to the Chicago Convention, to the 
extent that such security provisions are applicable to the 
Contracting Parties. Both Contracting Parties shall require that 
operators of aircraft of their registry, operators who have their 
principal place of business or permanent residence in their 
territory, and the operators of airports in their territory, act in 
conformity with such aviation security provisions.  
5. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that effective measures 
are taken within its territory to protect aircraft, to screen 
passengers and their carry-on items, and to carry out appro ­
priate 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 their air carriers 
may be required to observe the aviation security provisions 
referred to in paragraph 4 required by the other Contracting 
Party, for entrance into, departure from, or while within, the 
territory of that other Contracting Party.  
6. 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. Except in case of 
emergency, each Contracting Party will inform the other 
Contracting Party in advance of any special security measures 
it intends to introduce which could have a significant financial 
or operational impact on the air transport services provided 
under this Agreement. Either Contracting Party may request a 
meeting of the Joint Committee to discuss such security 
measures, as provided for in Article 21 (The Joint Committee) 
of this Agreement.EN L 334/12 Official Journal of the European Union 6.12.2012
7. 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.  
8. Each Contracting Party shall take all measures it finds 
practicable to ensure that an aircraft subjected to an act of 
unlawful seizure or other acts of unlawful interference which 
is on the ground in its territory is detained on the ground 
unless its departure is necessitated by the overriding duty to 
protect human life. Wherever practicable, such measures shall 
be taken on the basis of mutual consultations.  
9. When a Contracting Party has reasonable grounds to 
believe that the other Contracting Party has departed from the 
aviation security provisions of this Article, that Contracting 
Party may request immediate consultations with the other 
Contracting Party.  
10. Without prejudice to Article 4 (Refusal, Revocation, 
Suspension, Limitation of Authorisations) of this Agreement, 
failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within fifteen (15) 
days from the date of such request shall constitute grounds to 
withhold, revoke, limit or impose conditions on the operating 
authorisation of one or more air carriers of such other 
Contracting Party.  
11. When required by an immediate and extraordinary 
threat, a Contracting Party may take interim action prior to 
the expiry of fifteen (15) days.  
12. Any action taken in accordance with the paragraph 10 
of this Article shall be discontinued upon compliance by the 
other Contracting Party with the provisions of this Article.  
Article 15  
Air traffic management  
1. The Contracting Parties shall ensure that their legislation 
delivers the standards specified in Part C of Annex III to this 
Agreement, under the conditions set out hereafter.  
2. The Contracting Parties commit themselves to the highest 
degree of cooperation in the field of air traffic management 
with a view to extending the Single European Sky to Jordan 
in order to enhance current safety standards and overall effi ­
ciency for general air traffic standards in Europe, to optimise 
capacities and to minimise delays. To this purpose, an appro ­
priate participation of Jordan to the single sky committee shall 
be ensured. The Joint Committee shall be responsible for moni ­
toring and facilitating cooperation in the field of air traffic 
management.  
3. With a view to facilitating the application of the Single 
European Sky legislation in their territories:  
(a) Jordan shall take the necessary measures to adjust their air 
traffic management institutional structures to the Single European Sky, in particular by establishing pertinent 
national supervisory bodies at least functionally independent 
of air navigation service providers; and  
(b) The European Union shall associate Jordan with relevant 
operational initiatives in the fields of air navigation 
services, airspace and interoperability that stem from the 
Single European Sky, in particular through the early 
involvement of Jordan’s efforts to establish functional 
airspace blocks, or through appropriate coordination on 
SESAR.

discussions, to consider the effects of aviation on the 
environment and the economy, and to ensure that any miti ­
gating measures are fully consistent with the objectives of this 
Agreement.  
3. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the 
authority of the competent authorities of a Contracting Party to 
take all appropriate measures within its sovereign jurisdiction to 
prevent or otherwise address the environmental impacts of air 
transport provided that such measures are fully consistent with 
their rights and obligations under international law and are 
applied without distinction as to nationality.

granted to them by this Agreement on matters which are of 
interest to the other Contracting Party and which concern the 
authorities or undertakings of the other Contracting Party, the 
competent authorities of the other Contracting Party shall be 
fully informed and given the opportunity to comment before a 
final decision is taken.

TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS  
1. The implementation and application of all the provisions of this Agreement, especially the standards specified in
