8. člen

Direktni tranzitni promet

Za potnike, prtljago in tovor v direktnem tranzitu čez ozemlje pogodbenice, ki ne zapustijo območja na letališču, namenjenega tranzitu, bo razen glede varnostnih ukrepov proti nasilju, zračnemu piratstvu in tihotapljenju nadzorovanih drog veljal samo enostavni nadzor.

10. člen

Določila o zmogljivosti

1. Določeni prevozniki pogodbenic imajo pravične in enake možnosti za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa na določenih progah med njunima ozemljema.

2. Pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic upoštevajo interese prevoznikov, ki jih je določila druga pogodbenica, da ne bi neupravičeno ogrožali prometa, ki ga ti prevozniki opravljajo na celi ali na delu istih prog.

3. Dogovorjeni promet, ki ga zagotavljajo določeni prevozniki pogodbenic, je tesno povezan s potrebami po javnem prevozu na določenih progah in njegov temeljni cilj je zagotavljanje zmogljivosti, ki ob primernem faktorju obremenitve ustreza trenutnim in razumno predvidenim prometnim potrebam z ozemlja in na ozemlje pogodbenice, ki je določila prevoznika.

4. Ko določeni prevozniki pogodbenic opravljajo dogovorjeni promet, se morajo sporazumeti o frekvenci in zmogljivosti prometa, ki ga bodo opravljali na določenih progah. Frekvence in zmogljivost se predložijo v odobritev pristojnim organom obeh pogodbenic. Zmogljivost se občasno prilagodi pod pogojem, da pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic s tem soglašata.

5. Z namenom da zadostijo nepričakovanim prometnim zahtevam začasne narave, se lahko določeni prevozniki kljub določilom tega člena dogovorijo o začasnem povečanju, ki je potrebno, da se zadosti tem prometnim zahtevam. Vsako tako povečanje zmogljivosti se mora nemudoma predložiti v odobritev pristojnim organom pogodbenic.

6. Če določeni prevozniki pogodbenice na določenih progah opravljajo promet na ozemlja tretjih držav, se mora dodatna zmogljivost poleg tiste, določene v skladu s 3. in 4. odstavkom, določiti s sporazumom med pristojnima organoma pogodbenic.

11. člen

Predstavništva

Vsaka pogodbenica zagotovi določenim prevoznikom druge pogodbenice pravico, da za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa pripeljejo in vzdržujejo na njenem ozemlju tehnično in komercialno osebje, kot ga zahteva obseg tega prometa, če druga pogodbenica zagotavlja podobne pravice določenim prevoznikom prve pogodbenice. Za to osebje veljajo predpisi te pogodbenice, ki urejajo vstop in bivanje na njenem ozemlju.

12. člen

Varnost zračne plovbe

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 pogodbenici še posebej ravnata v skladu z določili Konvencije o kaznivih dejanjih in nekih drugih dejanjih, storjenih na letalih, sprejeti v Tokiu 14. septembra 1963, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonite ugrabitve zrakoplovov, sprejete v Haagu 16. decembra 1970, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonitih aktov zoper varnost civilnega letalstva, sprejete 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 na zahtevo medsebojno pomagata, da bi preprečili nezakonite ugrabitve civilnih letal in druga nezakonita dejanja proti varnosti takih letal, njihovih potnikov in posadk, letališč in navigacijskih naprav ter vsako drugo ogrožanje varnosti civilne zračne plovbe.

3. Pogodbenici v medsebojnih odnosih ravnata 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 obe pogodbenici. Pogodbenici zahtevata 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 predpise o varnosti zračne plovbe, 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 pred in med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem. Pogodbenici bosta z naklonjenostjo obravnavali vsako zahtevo druge pogodbenice za uvedbo razumnih dodatnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi določene grožnje.

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

6. Če bi imela pogodbenica težave v zvezi z določili tega člena o varnosti zračne plovbe, lahko pristojni organ katere koli pogodbenice zahteva takojšnje posvetovanje s pristojnim organom druge pogodbenice.

13. člen

Določitev tarif

1. Tarife, ki jih določeni prevozniki ene pogodbenice zaračunavajo za prevoz na ozemlje ali z ozemlja druge pogodbenice, morajo biti določene na primerni ravni, pri čemer naj se upoštevajo vsi pomembni dejavniki, vključno s stroški prevoza, primernim dobičkom in prometom drugih prevoznikov.

2. O tarifah iz 1. člena tega sporazuma in 1. odstavka tega člena se, če je le mogoče, dogovorijo določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic po posvetovanju z drugimi prevozniki, ki opravljajo zračni promet na isti progi ali njenem delu; tak dogovor naj določeni prevozniki, kadar je mogoče, sklenejo po postopku za določanje tarif, uveljavljenem v Mednarodnem združenju letalskih prevoznikov.

3. Tako določene tarife je treba predložiti pristojnima organoma obeh pogodbenic v odobritev, najmanj šestdeset (60) dni pred dnem, ki je predlagan za njihovo uveljavitev. V posebnih primerih se lahko pristojna organa dogovorita za krajši rok.

4. Odobritev se lahko da izrecno. Če nobeden od pristojnih organov ne izrazi svojega nestrinjanja v tridesetih (30) dneh od prejema predloga v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, se tarife štejejo za odobrene. Kadar je rok za predložitev tarif v odobritev v skladu s 3. odstavkom skrajšan, se pristojna organa lahko sporazumeta, da je rok za sporočitev nestrinjanja krajši od trideset (30) dni.

5. Če o tarifi ni dosežen sporazum v skladu z 2. odstavkom tega člena ali če glede katere koli tarife, o kateri je dogovorjeno v skladu z 2. odstavkom tega člena, pristojni organ sporoči drugemu svoje nestrinjanje, si bosta pristojna organa pogodbenic po posvetovanju s pristojnimi organi katerih koli drugih držav, za katere menita, da je to potrebno, prizadevala določiti tarife sporazumno.

6. Če se pristojna organa ne moreta sporazumeti o tarifi, predloženi v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, ali o določitvi tarife v skladu s 5. odstavkom tega člena, se spor rešuje v skladu z določili 19. člena tega sporazuma.

7. Tarifa, določena v skladu z določili tega člena, velja, dokler ni določena nova tarifa. Vendar pa veljavnost tarife ne sme biti podaljšana po tem členu za dlje kot dvanajst (12) mesecev od datuma, ko bi sicer potekla.

14. člen

Informacije in statistika

Pristojni organ vsake pogodbenice na zahtevo predloži pristojnemu organu druge pogodbenice take periodične in druge statistične podatke, ki jih je razumno zahtevati, da bi se ponovno preverila zmogljivost, ki jo določeni prevozniki prve pogodbenice zagotavljajo v dogovorjenem prometu. Taki podatki morajo vsebovati vse zahtevane informacije, da bi se lahko določili obseg prometa teh prevoznikov na določenih progah, njegov izvor ter namembni kraj.

15. člen

Posvetovanja

V duhu tesnega sodelovanja se pristojna organa pogodbenic občasno posvetujeta, z namenom, da zagotovita izvajanje in potrebno spoštovanje določil tega sporazuma in njegovih prilog.

16. člen

Spremembe

1. Če ena pogodbenica meni, da bi bilo zaželeno spremeniti katero koli določilo tega sporazuma, lahko zahteva posvetovanja z drugo pogodbenico. Taka posvetovanja, ki lahko potekajo med pristojnima organoma v obliki razgovorov ali dopisovanja, se začnejo v šestdesetih (60) dneh od dneva zahteve. Tako dogovorjene spremembe začno veljati, ko so potrjene z izmenjavo diplomatskih not.

2. O spremembah prilog se lahko neposredno sporazumeta pristojna organa pogodbenic.

17. člen

Ta sporazum in njegove priloge se spremenijo, tako da bodo usklajeni z vsako večstransko konvencijo, ki zavezuje obe pogodbenici.

18. člen

Odpoved

Vsaka pogodbenica lahko kadar koli sporoči drugi pogodbenici svojo odločitev, da odpoveduje ta sporazum; tako obvestilo je treba hkrati poslati Mednarodni organizaciji civilnega letalstva. V tem primeru sporazum preneha veljati dvanajst (12) mesecev od dneva, ko druga pogodbenica prejme obvestilo, razen če je pred potekom tega roka obvestilo o odpovedi sporazumno umaknjeno. Če druga pogodbenica ne potrdi prejema obvestila o odpovedi, se šteje, da ga je prejela štirinajst (14) dni po dnevu, ko ga je prejela Mednarodna organizacija civilnega letalstva.

19. člen

Reševanje sporov

1. Če med pogodbenicama nastane spor zaradi razlage ali uporabe tega sporazuma in njegovih prilog, si pogodbenici v prvi vrsti prizadevata, da ga rešita s pogajanji.

2. Če pogodbenici spora ne moreta rešiti s pogajanji, se lahko dogovorita, da odločitev o sporu prepustita neki osebi ali organu, na zahtevo katere koli pogodbenice pa tudi arbitražnemu sodišču treh razsodnikov, od katerih vsaka pogodbenica imenuje po enega, ta dva pa skupaj določita tretjega razsodnika. Vsaka pogodbenica bo imenovala svojega razsodnika v šestdesetih (60) dneh od dneva, ko je po diplomatski poti prejela zahtevo druge pogodbenice za razrešitev spora pred arbitražnim sodiščem. Tretji razsodnik mora biti imenovan v nadaljnjih šestdesetih (60) dneh. Če katera koli pogodbenica ne imenuje razsodnika v določenem roku ali če tretji razsodnik ni v roku imenovan, lahko vsaka pogodbenica zaprosi predsednika Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva, da določi razsodnika ali razsodnike, ki so potrebni v posameznem primeru.

V takem primeru je tretji razsodnik državljan tretje države in deluje kot predsednik arbitražnega sodišča.

3. Pogodbenici se zavezujeta, da bosta sprejeli vsako odločitev, sprejeto v skladu z 2. odstavkom tega člena, in se po njej ravnali.

4. Če katera koli pogodbenica ali določeni prevoznik pogodbenice ne spoštuje odločitev arbitražnega sodišča, sprejetih v skladu z 2. odstavkom tega člena, lahko druga pogodbenica, dokler to traja, omeji, začasno razveljavi ali prekliče vsako pravico ali ugodnost, ki jo je v skladu s tem sporazumom odobrila pogodbenici, ki teh odločitev ne spoštuje.

5. Vsaka pogodbenica krije stroške za razsodnika, ki ga je imenovala. Druge stroške arbitražnega sodišča si pogodbenici delita v enakih deležih.

Article 3

Operating Authorisations

1. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to designate in writing to the other Contracting Party an airline or airlines for the purpose of operating agreed services on the specified routes.

The aeronautical authorities of one Contracting Party may require an airline designated by the other Contracting Party to satisfy them that it is qualified to fulfil the conditions prescribed under the laws and regulations normally and reasonably applied to the operation of international air services by such authorities.
    4. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to refuse to grant the operating authorisations referred to in paragraph (3) of this Article, or to impose such conditions as it may deem necessary on the exercise by a designated airline of the rights specified in Article 2 of this Agreement, in any case where the said Contracting Party is not satisfied that substantial ownership and effective control of that airline are vested in the Contracting Party designating the airline or in its nationals.
    5. When an airline has been so designated and authorised it may begin at any time to operate the agreed services, provided that a capacity agreed upon and tariffs and flight schedules established in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 and Article 13 and Annex II of this Agreement are in force in respect of that service.

Article 4

1. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to revoke or suspend an operating authorisation for the exercise of the rights specified in Article 2 of the present Agreement by the designated airline of the other Contracting Party or to impose such conditions as it may deem necessary on the exercise of such rights, if:
    a) the said airline can not prove that a preponderant part of its ownership and effective control are vested in the Contracting Party designating the airline or in its nationals, or

    c) the said airline fails to operate the agreed services in accordance with the conditions prescribed under the present Agreement.
    2. Such a right shall be exercised only after consultation with the other Contracting Party, unless immediate revocation, suspension or imposition of the conditions provided for under paragraph 1 of this Article is essential to prevent further infringements of laws and regulations.
