c) the right to embark and disembark, in the said territory at the points specified in the Annex of the present Agreement, passengers, baggage, cargo and mail destined for or coming from points in the territory of the other Contracting Party;
3. Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to confer on the designated airline of one Contracting Party the privilege of embarking, in the territory of the other Contracting Party, passengers, baggage, cargo and mail carried for remuneration or hire and destined for another point in the territory of that Contracting Party.
Article 3
DESIGNATION AND OPERATING AUTHORIZATION
1. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to designate one airline for the purpose of operating the agreed services. Such designation shall be effected by virtue of a written notification between the aeronautical authorities of both Contracting Parties.
2. The aeronautical authorities which have received the notification of designation shall, subject to the provisions of paragraph 3 and 4 of this Article, without delay grant to the designated airline of the other Contracting Party the necessary operating authorization.
3. 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 applied to the operation of international air services by the said authorities in conformity with the provisions of the Convention.
4. Each Contracting Party shall have the right to refuse to grant the operating authorization referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, or to impose such conditions as it may deem necessary on the exercise of the rights specified in Article 2 of the present Agreement, whenever the said Contracting Party has no proof that the preponderant part of the ownership and effective control of that airline are vested in the Contracting Party designating the airline or in its nationals.
5. Having received the operating authorization, provided for under paragraph 2 of this Article, the designated airline may at any time begin to operate the agreed services, provided that tariffs established in accordance with the provisions of Article l3 of the present Agreement are in force.

EXERCISE OF RIGHTS
1. The designated airlines shall enjoy fair and equal opportunities to operate the agreed services between the territories of the Contracting Parties.
2. The designated airline of each Contracting Party shall take into consideration the interests of the designated airline of the other Contracting Party so as not to affect unduly the agreed services of the latter airline.

4. The right of each of the designated airlines to carry international traffic between the territory of the other Contracting Party and the territories of third countries shall be exercised in conformity with the general principles of normal development to which both Contracting Parties subscribe, and shall be subject to the condition that the capacity shall be adapted:

Article 9
AVIATION SECURITY
1. Consistent with their rights and obligations under international law, the Contracting 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 the present Agreement.

They shall require that operators of aircraft of their registry or operators of aircraft 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.
4. Each Contracting Party agrees that such operators of aircraft may be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraph 3 of this Article required by the other Contracting Party for entry into, departure from, or while within, the territory of that other Contracting Party. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that adequate measures are effectively applied within its territory to protect the aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, carry-on items, baggage, cargo and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading. Each Contracting Party shall also give sympathetic consideration to 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 rapidly and safely such incident or threat thereof.

2. The tariffs referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article shall, if possible, be established by mutual agreement by the designated airlines of both Contracting Parties and after consultation with the other airlines operating over the whole or part of the same route.

2. In such case, each Contracting Party shall nominate an arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall appoint a president, national of a third State. If within two months after one of the Contracting Parties has nominated its arbitrator, the other Contracting Party has not nominated its own, or, if within the sixty days following the nomination of the second arbitrator, both arbitrators have not agreed on the appointment of the President, each Contracting Party may request the President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization to proceed with the necessary nominations.

2. Za določbe tega sporazuma veljajo tiste določbe konvencije, ki se nanašajo na mednarodni zračni promet.
2. člen
PODELITEV PRAVIC
1. Pogodbenica podeli drugi pogodbenici pravice določene v tem sporazumu, da vzpostavi in opravlja letalske prevoze na progah, določenih v prilogi. Taki prevozi in proge se v nadaljnjem besedilu imenujejo “dogovorjeni prevozi“ oziroma “določene proge“.
2. Ob upoštevanju določb tega sporazuma ima prevoznik, ki ga določi vsaka pogodbenica pri opravljanju mednarodnih letalskih prevozov:
a) pravico do preleta ozemlja druge pogodbenice brez pristanka;

2. Pristojni organ, ki je prejel uradno obvestilo o določitvi prevoznika, ob upoštevanju določb tretjega in četrtega odstavka tega člena nemudoma izda prevozniku, ki ga je določila druga pogodbenica, potrebno dovoljenje za opravljanje prevozov.
3. Pristojni organ ene pogodbenice lahko od prevoznika, ki ga je določila druga pogodbenica, zahteva dokaz, da izpolnjuje pogoje, določene v zakonih in predpisih, ki jih ta organ v skladu z določbami konvencije običajno uporablja za mednarodni zračni promet.
4. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico odkloniti izdajo dovoljenja za opravljanje prevozov iz drugega odstavka tega člena ali postaviti take pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za uresničevanje pravic iz 2. člena tega sporazuma, kadar koli omenjena pogodbenica nima dokazov, da ima pogodbenica, ki je prevoznika določila, ali njeni državljani pretežni lastninski delež in dejanski nadzor nad tem prevoznikom.
5. Ko je določeni prevoznik dobil dovoljenje za opravljanje prevozov po drugem odstavku tega člena, lahko kadar koli začne opravljati dogovorjene prevoze, če so tarife, določene v skladu s 13. členom tega sporazuma, veljavne.
4. člen
ODVZEM ALI ZAČASNI PREKLIC DOVOLJENJA ZA OPRAVLJANJE PREVOZOV
1. Pogodbenica ima pravico odvzeti ali začasno preklicati dovoljenje za opravljanje prevozov glede pravic, ki jih ima določeni prevoznik druge pogodbenice po 2. členu tega sporazuma, ali da za uresničevanje teh pravic določi pogoje, ki se ji zdijo potrebni, če:
a) prevoznik ne more dokazati, da ima njegov pretežni lastninski delež in dejanski nadzor nad njim pogodbenica, ki ga je določila, ali njeni državljani, ali
b) prevoznik ravna neskladno z zakoni in predpisi pogodbenice, ki daje te pravice, ali jih huje krši; ali
c) prevoznik ne opravlja dogovorjenih prevozov pod pogoji, določenimi v tem sporazumu.
2. Ta pravica se uporabi samo po posvetovanju z drugo pogodbenico, razen če so takojšen odvzem, začasni preklic dovoljenja ali določitev pogojev iz prvega odstavka tega člena nujno potrebni za preprečitev nadaljnjega kršenja zakonov in predpisov.

Spričevala o plovnosti, spričevala o usposobljenosti in dovoljenja, ki jih je izdala ali potrdila ena pogodbenica in še veljajo, druga pogodbenica prizna kot veljavna za opravljanje dogovorjenih prevozov na določenih progah pod pogojem, da so bila taka spričevala ali dovoljenja izdana ali potrjena v skladu s standardi, določenimi po konvenciji. Vsaka pogodbenica pa si pridržuje pravico, da za polete na svojem ozemlju ne prizna spričeval o usposobljenosti in dovoljenj, ki jih je njenim državljanom izdala druga pogodbenica.
9. člen
VARNOST LETALSTVA
1. V skladu s svojimi pravicami in obveznostmi po mednarodnem pravu pogodbenici ponovno potrjujeta, da je njuna medsebojna obveznost varovanja civilnega letalstva pred nezakonitimi dejanji sestavni del tega sporazuma. Brez omejevanja svojih splošnih pravic in obveznosti po mednarodnem pravu pogodbenici ravnata predvsem v skladu z določbami Konvencije o kaznivih dejanjih in nekaterih drugih dejanjih, storjenih na letalih, podpisane 14. septembra 1963 v Tokiu, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonite ugrabitve zrakoplovov, podpisane 16. decembra 1970 v Haagu, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonitih dejanj zoper varnost civilnega letalstva, podpisane 23. septembra 1971 v Montrealu, in njenega dopolnilnega Protokola o zatiranju nezakonitih nasilnih dejanj na letališčih za mednarodno civilno letalstvo, podpisanega 24. februarja 1988 v Montrealu.
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 civilnega letalstva.
3. Pogodbenici v medsebojnih odnosih ravnata v skladu z določbami Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva o varnosti letalstva, opredeljenimi v prilogah h konvenciji v obsegu, v katerem te varnostne določbe veljajo za pogodbenici. Od letalskih prevoznikov, ki so vpisani v njuna registra ali imajo svojo glavno poslovno enoto ali stalni sedež na njunih ozemljih, ter od letaliških podjetij na svojih ozemljih zahtevata, da delujejo v skladu s takimi varnostnimi predpisi.
4. Pogodbenici se strinjata, da smeta od prevoznikov zahtevati, da spoštujejo varnostne predpise, iz tretjega odstavka tega člena, ki jih druga pogodbenica zahteva za vstop, odhod oziroma dokler so letala na njenem ozemlju. Vsaka pogodbenica na svojem ozemlju zagotavlja učinkovito izvajanje ukrepov za zavarovanje letal, pregled potnikov, posadke, ročne prtljage, prtljage, tovora in zalog pred ali med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem. Vsaka pogodbenica tudi z razumevanjem obravnava vse zahteve druge pogodbenice za uvedbo razumnih posebnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi določene grožnje.
5. Ob nezakoniti ugrabitvi ali grožnji z ugrabitvijo civilnega letala ali drugega nezakonitega dejanja zoper varnost takega letala, njegovih potnikov in posadke, letališč ali navigacijskih naprav pogodbenici pomagata druga drugi tako, da olajšata komunikacije in z drugimi ustreznimi ukrepi za hitro in varno končanje takega dogodka ali grožnje.
10. člen
DAJATVE ZA UPORABNIKE
1. Vsaka pogodbenica lahko uvede ali dovoli uvedbo upravičene in primerne dajatve za določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice. Te dajatve temeljijo na razumnih ekonomskih načelih.
2. Takse za uporabo letališč ter navigacijskih naprav in storitev, ki jih določenemu prevozniku ene pogodbenice ponuja druga pogodbenica, ne smejo biti višje od dajatev, ki jih morajo plačati domača letala v podobnem rednem mednarodnem zračnem prometu.
11. člen
KOMERCIALNO PREDSTAVNIŠTVO PREVOZNIKA
1. Določeni prevoznik ene pogodbenice ima pravico, da v skladu z zakoni in predpisi druge pogodbenice, ki urejajo vstop, bivanje in zaposlovanje, pripelje in ima na ozemlju druge pogodbenice svoje vodstveno, tehnično, operativno in drugo strokovno osebje, potrebno za opravljanje zračnih prevozov.
2. Pogodbenica še posebej dovoljuje določenemu prevozniku druge pogodbenice, da na njenem ozemlju prodaja svoje prevozne zmogljivosti neposredno ali po svoji presoji po zastopnikih. Vsak prevoznik ima pravico prodajati take prevoze in vsakdo jih lahko prosto kupuje v lokalni valuti ali v prosto zamenljivih valutah drugih držav v skladu z veljavnimi deviznimi predpisi.
3. Določeni prevoznik ene pogodbenice lahko na podlagi vzajemnosti na ozemlju druge pogodbenice odpre urade za oglaševanje in prodajo letalskih prevozov.
4. Storitve zemeljske oskrbe enega ali drugega določenega prevoznika se opravljajo v skladu z zakoni in predpisi druge pogodbenice.
12. člen
PRENOS PRIHODKOV
1. Pogodbenica določenemu prevozniku druge pogodbenice daje v skladu z deviznimi predpisi pogodbenice, na ozemlju katere so bili prihodki ustvarjeni, pravico do prostega prenosa presežka prihodkov nad odhodki, ki ga je prevoznik ustvaril na ozemlju te pogodbenice s prevozom potnikov, pošte in tovora. Če so plačila med pogodbenicama urejena s posebnim sporazumom, velja ta posebni sporazum.
2. Če pogodbenica uvede omejitve glede prenosa presežka prihodkov nad odhodki določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice, ima ta pravico uvesti enake omejitve za določenega prevoznika te pogodbenice.
13. člen
TARIFE
1. Tarife, ki jih določeni prevoznik uporablja v zvezi s kakršnim koli prevozom na ozemlje druge pogodbenice ali z njega, se določijo na primerni ravni, pri čemer so ustrezno upoštevani vsi pomembni dejavniki, vključno s stroški poslovanja, primernim dobičkom, značilnostmi posamezne storitve in tarifami drugih prevoznikov.
2. Tarife iz prvega odstavka tega člena se po možnosti določijo s sporazumom med določenima prevoznikoma pogodbenic in po posvetovanju z drugimi prevozniki, ki opravljajo prevoze na tej progi ali njenem delu. Določeni prevozniki bodo, kadar koli bo to mogoče, dosegli tak sporazum z uporabo postopka za določanje cen, ki ga je uvedlo Mednarodno združenje letalskih prevoznikov, ki oblikuje ustrezne predloge.
3. Tako določene tarife je treba predložiti pristojnima organoma pogodbenic v odobritev vsaj šestdeset dni pred predlaganim datumom njihove uvedbe. V posebnih primerih je ta rok lahko krajši, če ga odobrita pristojna organa. Če v tridesetih dneh po predložitvi tarif nobeden od pristojnih organov drugemu pristojnemu organu ne sporoči svojega nestrinjanja, se šteje, da so tarife odobrene.
4. Če se določena prevoznika ne moreta sporazumeti ali če tarife ne odobri pristojni organ ene od pogodbenic, jih poskušata sporazumno določiti pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic. Pogajanja se začnejo v tridesetih dneh od dneva, ko postane jasno, da se določena prevoznika ne moreta dogovoriti o tarifi, ali ko je pristojni organ ene pogodbenice sporočil pristojnemu organu druge pogodbenice, da se ne strinja s tarifo.
5. Ob nestrinjanju bo spor rešen v skladu s postopki, določenimi v 17. členu tega sporazuma.
6. Že določena tarifa velja, dokler ni določena nova tarifa v skladu z določbami tega člena ali 17. člena tega sporazuma.
7. Pristojni organ vsake pogodbenice si po najboljših močeh prizadeva zagotoviti, da določena prevoznika upoštevata dogovorjene tarife, prijavljene pri pristojnih organih pogodbenic, in da noben prevoznik neposredno ali posredno nezakonito ne znižuje nobenega dela teh tarif.
14. člen
PREDLOŽITEV REDOV LETENJA
1. Določeni prevoznik predloži predvidene rede letenja v odobritev pristojnemu organu druge pogodbenice najmanj šestdeset dni, preden začne opravljati dogovorjene prevoze. Enak postopek velja za vsako spremembo.
2. Za dodatne polete, ki jih določeni prevoznik ene pogodbenice želi opraviti v okviru dogovorjenih prevozov zunaj odobrenega reda letenja, mora predhodno zaprositi za dovoljenje pristojni organ druge pogodbenice. Praviloma mora za to zaprositi najmanj dva delovna dneva pred takimi poleti.

17. člen
REŠEVANJE SPOROV
1. Vsak spor, ki izhaja iz uporabe tega sporazuma in ga ni mogoče rešiti z neposrednimi pogajanji ali po diplomatski poti, se na zahtevo ene ali druge pogodbenice predloži arbitražnemu sodišču.
2. V takem primeru vsaka pogodbenica imenuje enega razsodnika, ta dva pa imenujeta predsednika, državljana tretje države. Če v dveh mesecih od dneva, ko je ena pogodbenica imenovala svojega razsodnika, druga pogodbenica ne imenuje svojega ali če se v šestdesetih dneh od imenovanja drugega razsodnika oba razsodnika ne dogovorita o imenovanju predsednika, lahko vsaka pogodbenica zaprosi predsednika Sveta Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva, da nadaljuje s potrebnimi imenovanji. Če je predsednik Sveta državljan ene ali druge pogodbenice, se lahko za imenovanje razsodnikov zaprosi podpredsednik Sveta, ki je državljan tretje države.
3. Arbitražno sodišče določi svoj postopek. Vsaka pogodbenica plača stroške svojega razsodnika. Preostale stroške arbitražnega sodišča krijeta pogodbenici v enakih delih.
4. Pogodbenici ravnata v skladu z vsako odločitvijo, sprejeto na podlagi tega člena.
18. člen
SPREMEMBE
1. Če ena ali druga pogodbenica meni, da je treba spremeniti katero koli določbo tega sporazuma, lahko zahteva posvetovanje z drugo pogodbenico.

Tako dogovorjene spremembe začnejo veljati, ko so po izpolnitvi notranjepravnih ali drugih potrebnih postopkov potrjene z izmenjavo diplomatskih not.
2. Spremembe, ki se nanašajo na določbe sporazuma, razen priloženih preglednic, vsaka pogodbenica potrdi v skladu s svojimi notranjepravnimi postopki.
3. O spremembah, ki se nanašajo na določbe priloženih preglednic, se lahko dogovorita pristojna organa pogodbenic.
4. Ob sklenitvi kakršne koli splošne večstranske konvencije, ki bi se nanašala na letalski promet in bi postala zavezujoča za obe pogodbenici, se ta sporazum spremeni, tako da je skladen z določbami take konvencije.
