Zrakoplovi, ki jih določeni prevozniki katerekoli pogodbenice uporabljajo v mednarodnem zračnem prometu, kakor tudi njihova običajna oprema, zaloge goriva in maziva ter druge zaloge (vključno s hrano, pijačo in tobakom), ki so na njih, so po prihodu na ozemlje druge pogodbenice oproščeni vseh carinskih in drugih dajatev ali taks, če taka oprema in zaloge ostanejo na zrakoplovu, dokler niso ponovno izvožene.

2. Omenjenih dajatev in taks, razen stroškov za opravljene storitve, so oproščeni tudi:

zaloge na zrakoplovu, vkrcane na ozemlju katerekoli pogodbenice, v količinah, ki jih določijo organi te pogodbenice in so namenjene za uporabo v mednarodnem zračnem prometu v zrakoplovih druge pogodbenice;

VII. člen

TARIFE

1. Tarife, ki jih bodo zaračunavali določeni prevozniki ene pogodbenice za prevoz na ozemlje in z ozemlja druge pogodbenice, bodo določene na primernih ravneh, pri čemer bo zadostna pozornost posvečena vsem pomembnim dejavnikom, vključno s poslovnimi stroški, zahtevami uporabnikov, razumnim dobičkom in tarifami drugih prevoznikov.

2. O tarifah iz 1. odstavka tega člena se bodo, če je mogoče, določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic dogovorili po posvetovanju z drugimi prevozniki, ki opravljajo promet na tej progi ali na njenem delu. Ta sporazum se bo, kadarkoli bo mogoče, dosegel po postopku za določanje tarif Mednarodnega združenja letalskih prevoznikov.

3. Tako dogovorjene tarife je treba predložiti v odobritev pristojnim organom obeh pogodbenic najmanj petinštirideset (45) dni pred predlaganim dnem njihove uveljavitve. V posebnih primerih se ta rok lahko skrajša v sporazumu s pristojnimi organi.

4. Odobritev je lahko izrecna. Če nobeden od pristojnih organov ne izrazi svojega nestrinjanja v tridesetih (30) dneh od dneva, ko so bile tarife predložene v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, se bo štelo, da so tarife odobrene. Če bi bil rok za njihovo predložitev skrajšan, kot je to predvideno v 3. odstavku tega člena, se lahko pristojna organa dogovorita, da je rok, v katerem je treba sporočiti nestrinjanje, ustrezno krajši.

5. Če se o tarifi ni mogoče dogovoriti v skladu z določilom 2. odstavka tega člena ali če je v roku iz 4. odstavka tega člena pristojni organ sporočil svoje nestrinjanje s katerokoli tarifo, o kateri je bilo dogovorjeno v skladu z 2. odstavkom, si bosta pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic prizadevala za sporazumno določitev tarife.

6. Če se pristojna organa ne moreta dogovoriti o tarifi, ki jima je bila predložena v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, ali o določitvi tarife v skladu s 5. odstavkom tega člena, bo spor razrešen v skladu z določili XIX. člena tega sporazuma.

7. Tarifa, določena v skladu z določili tega člena, velja, dokler ne bo določena nova tarifa. V nobenem primeru pa ne bo veljavnost tarife podaljšana za dlje kot dvanajst (12) mesecev od prvotno določenega datuma prenehanja njene veljavnosti.

8. Pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic si bosta po najboljših močeh prizadevala, da bi zagotovila, da bodo določeni prevozniki spoštovali dogovorjene tarife, registrirane pri pristojnih organih obeh pogodbenic, in da noben prevoznik ne bo na noben način neposredno ali posredno neupravičeno zmanjševal nobenega deleža teh tarif.

VIII. člen

TEHNIČNO IN TRGOVSKO OSEBJE TER PODRUŽNICE

1. Določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic bodo imeli pravico, da imajo po načelu reciprocitete na ozemlju druge pogodbenice svoje podružnice in predstavništva kakor tudi trgovsko, operativno in tehnično osebje, ki jih potrebujejo za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa.

2. Zahteve po osebju lahko določeni prevozniki po svoji izbiri zadovoljijo s svojim osebjem ali s storitvami kakšne druge organizacije, družbe ali prevoznika, ki delujejo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice in so pooblaščeni za opravljanje teh storitev na njenem ozemlju.

3. Za omenjena predstavništva in osebje bodo veljali zakoni in predpisi, ki veljajo na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice. V skladu s temi zakoni in predpisi jim bo vsaka pogodbenica po načelu reciprocitete in brez odlašanja izdala potrebna delovna dovoljenja, vstopne vizume ali druge podobne dokumente.

4. Če bi posebne okoliščine zahtevale nujen in začasen vstop ali bivanje osebja, mu bo pogodbenica dovoljenja, vizume in dokumente, ki so potrebni v skladu z njenimi zakoni in predpisi, nemudoma izdala, da ne bi zavlačevala vstopa takega osebja v zadevno državo.

5. Določeni prevozniki vsake pogodbenice smejo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, če je to v skladu z zakoni in s pogojem reciprocitete, sami zagotavljati storitve zemeljske oskrbe letal in potnikov.

IX. člen

ZAKONI IN PREDPISI

1. Zakoni in predpisi pogodbenice, ki urejajo prihod zrakoplovov, ki opravljajo mednarodni zračni promet, na njeno ozemlje, odhod z njenega ozemlja ali ki se nanašajo na uporabo zrakoplovov dokler so na njenem ozemlju, se bodo uporabljali tudi za zrakoplove določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice.

2. Zakoni in predpisi pogodbenice, ki se nanašajo na prihod potnikov, posadke, prtljage, pošte in tovora na njeno ozemlje, zadrževanje na njem ali odhod z njega, kakor tudi predpisi, ki urejajo pogoje za vstop in odhod iz države, priseljevanje, carinske in sanitarne postopke bodo na tem ozemlju veljali tudi za določene prevoznike druge pogodbenice.

3. Če ne bo zaradi razlogov varnosti drugače zahtevano, bo za potnike, prtljago in tovor v direktnem tranzitu čez ozemlje pogodbenice in ki ne zapustijo za to določenega območja letališča, veljal le enostavni nadzor.

4. Nobena pogodbenica nima pravice svojim prevoznikom v primerjavi z določenimi prevozniki druge pogodbenice dajati kakršnekoli prednosti pri uporabi zakonov in predpisov iz tega člena.

X. člen

PREPOVEDANA OBMOČJA

Zaradi vojaških razlogov ali razlogov javne varnosti ima pogodbenica pravico, da omeji ali prepove zrakoplovom določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice lete nad določenimi območji svojega ozemlja, če iste omejitve ali prepovedi veljajo tudi za zrakoplove določenih prevoznikov prve pogodbenice in za zrakoplove prevoznikov drugih držav, ki opravljajo redni mednarodni zračni promet.

XI. člen

SPRIČEVALA IN DOVOLJENJA

1. Spričevala o plovnosti, spričevala o sposobnosti in dovoljenja, ki jih izda ali potrdi ena pogodbenica, bo, dokler so veljavna, pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa na progah, določenih v prilogi tega sporazuma, priznavala tudi druga pogodbenica, če so bila ta spričevala in dovoljenja izdana ali potrjena v skladu z enakimi ali višjimi standardi, kot jih določa konvencija.

2. Vsaka pogodbenica pa si pridržuje pravico, da za preletanje nad svojim ozemljem ne prizna spričeval o sposobnosti in dovoljenj, ki jih je druga pogodbenica izdala njenim državljanom.

XII. člen

VARNOST

1. V skladu s pravicami in obveznostmi po mednarodnem pravu pogodbenici ponovno potrjujeta, da je medsebojna obveznost varovanja civilnega zračnega prometa pred nezakonitimi dejanji sestavni del tega sporazuma. Brez omejevanja svojih pravic in obveznosti po mednarodnem pravu bosta pogodbenici še posebej ravnali v skladu z določili Konvencije o kaznivih dejanjih in določenih drugih dejanjih, storjenih na letalih, podpisane v Tokiu 14. septembra 1963, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonite ugrabitve zrakoplovov, podpisane v Haagu 16. decembra 1970, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonitih dejanj zoper varnost civilnega letalstva, podpisane v Montrealu 23. septembra 1971, in njenega dopolnilnega Protokola o zatiranju nezakonitih nasilnih dejanj na letališčih za mednarodno civilno zrakoplovstvo, podpisanega v Montrealu 24. februarja 1988.

2. Pogodbenici si bosta na zahtevo medsebojno pomagali, da bi preprečili nezakonite ugrabitve civilnih zrakoplovov in druga nezakonita dejanja proti varnosti takih zrakoplovov, njihovih potnikov in posadk, letališč in navigacijskih naprav ter vsako drugo ogrožanje varnosti civilne zračne plovbe.

3. Pogodbenici bosta v medsebojnih odnosih ravnali v skladu z določili Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva o varnosti civilne zračne plovbe, ki so opredeljena v prilogah konvencije, v tisti meri, v kateri ta določila veljajo za pogodbenici; pogodbenici bosta zahtevali od letalskih družb, ki so vpisane v njunem registru ali ki opravljajo pretežni del svojih dejavnosti ali imajo sedež na njunem ozemlju, ter od letaliških podjetij na svojem ozemlju, da delujejo v skladu s takimi varnostnimi predpisi.

4. Pogodbenici se strinjata, da morajo navedene letalske družbe spoštovati letalske varnostne predpise, navedene v 3. odstavku tega člena, ki jih zahteva druga pogodbenica za vstop, odhod oziroma dokler so letala na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice. Vsaka pogodbenica zagotavlja, da se bodo na njenem ozemlju učinkovito izvajali primerni ukrepi za zavarovanje letal in za pregled potnikov, posadke, ročne prtljage, prtljage, tovora in zalog na letalu pred in med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem. Pogodbenici bosta z naklonjenostjo obravnavali vsako zahtevo druge pogodbenice za uvedbo razumnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi neposredne grožnje.

5. Ob nezakoniti ugrabitvi ali grožnji z ugrabitvijo oziroma drugih nezakonitih dejanjih proti varnosti zrakoplovov, potnikov in posadke, letališč ali navigacijskih naprav bosta pogodbenici pomagali druga drugi, s tem da bosta poskrbeli za komunikacije in druge ustrezne ukrepe, da bi se čim hitreje in varno končal tak incident ali grožnja.

XIII. člen

KONVERZIJA IN TRANSFER DOBIČKA

1. Na vzajemni podlagi in brez razlikovanja prevoznikov, ki opravljajo mednarodni promet, bodo določeni prevozniki pogodbenice imeli pravico prodajati svoje prevozne storitve na ozemlju obeh pogodbenic, in sicer neposredno ali po agentih, ter v katerikoli valuti v skladu z zakoni, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenice.

2. Določeni prevozniki pogodbenice bodo imeli pravico, da z ozemlja prodaje na domače ozemlje prosto transferirajo na ozemlju prodaje ustvarjene presežke prejemkov nad izdatki.

3. Pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa bodo določeni prevozniki pogodbenic upoštevali interese določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice, da ne bi neupravičeno ogrožali prometa, ki ga slednji opravljajo na celotni ali delu istih prog.

4. Nobena pogodbenica ne bo enostransko omejila poslovanja določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice, razen v skladu z določili tega sporazuma ali z enotnimi pogoji, ki bi bili določeni s konvencijo.

XVI. člen

STATISTIČNI PODATKI

Pristojni organ vsake pogodbenice bo pristojnemu organu druge pogodbenice na njegovo zahtevo dal informacije in statistične podatke o prometu, ki ga določeni prevozniki pogodbenice opravijo v dogovorjenem prometu na ozemlje ali z ozemlja druge pogodbenice.

2. Če pogodbenici ne moreta doseči sporazuma s pogajanji, lahko spor na zahtevo katerekoli pogodbenice predložita v odločitev arbitražnemu sodišču treh razsodnikov, od katerih vsaka pogodbenica imenuje enega, tretjega razsodnika pa tako imenovana.

Določil bo, kje bo razsodišče zasedalo. Če katera od pogodbenic v za to določenem roku ne imenuje svojega razsodnika, lahko katerakoli pogodbenica zahteva od predsednika sveta Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva, da določi razsodnika ali razsodnike, kot bo primer narekoval. V takem primeru bo tretji razsodnik državljan tretje države in bo deloval kot predsednik razsodišča.
