f) “European Union Member State” means a State that is a contracting party to the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;
g) “tariff” means the prices which the designated airline or airlines charge for the carriage of passengers, baggage and cargo and the conditions under which those prices apply, including prices and conditions for agency and other ancillary services, but excluding remuneration or conditions for the carriage of mail;

without directional or geographic limitation and without loss of any right to carry traffic otherwise permissible under this Agreement.
4. Nothing in this Article shall be deemed to confer on the designated airline or airlines of one Party the right to take on board, in the territory of the other Party, passengers, baggage, cargo or mail carried for remuneration or hire and destined for another point in the territory of that other Party.
5. If the designated airline or airlines of one Party are unable to operate services on its normal routing because of armed conflict, political disturbances, or special and unusual circumstances, the other Party shall make its best efforts to facilitate the continued operation of such service through appropriate rearrangements of such routes, including the grant of rights for such time as may be necessary to facilitate viable operations. The provisions of this norm shall be applied without discrimination between the designated airline or airlines of the Parties.
DESIGNATION AND AUTHORISATION
1. Each Party shall have the right to designate in writing to the other Party, airlines to operate the agreed services, in accordance with this Agreement, and to withdraw or alter such designation.
2. On receipt of such a designation, and of applications from the designated airline or airlines, in the form and manner prescribed for operating authorisations and technical permissions, the other Party shall grant the appropriate authorisations and permissions with minimum procedural delay, provided that:
a) in the case of an airline designated by the Republic of Slovenia:
(i) it is established in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia under the Treaty establishing the European Union and has a valid Operating Licence from an European Union Member State in accordance with European Union law; and
(ii) effective regulatory control of the airline is exercised and maintained by the European Union Member State responsible for issuing its Air Operator’s Certificate and the relevant aeronautical authority is clearly identified in the designation; and

(i) the Republic of Singapore has and maintains effective regulatory control of the airline; and
(ii) it has its principal place of business in the Republic of Singapore;

3. When an airline has been so designated and authorised, it may begin to operate the agreed services, provided that the airline complies with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
REVOCATION, SUSPENSION AND LIMITATION OF RIGHTS
1. Either Party may refuse, revoke, suspend or limit the operating authorisations or technical permissions of an airline designated by the other Party, where:
a) in the case of an airline designated by the Republic of Slovenia:
(i) it is not established in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia under the Treaty establishing the European Union or does not have a valid Operating Licence from an European Union Member State in accordance with European Union law; or

| (vi) the designated airline holds an Air Operator’s Certificate issued by an European Union Member State and there is no bilateral air services agreement between the Republic of Singapore and that European Union Member State and it can be demonstrated that the necessary traffic rights to conduct the proposed operation are not reciprocally | available to the designated airline or airlines of the Republic of Singapore; |
b) in the case of an airline designated by the Republic of Singapore:
(i) the Republic of Singapore is not maintaining effective regulatory control of the airline; or
(ii) it does not have its principal place of business in the Republic of Singapore; or
c) in the event of failure that such designated airline is qualified to meet other conditions prescribed under the laws and regulations normally applied to the operation of international air transport services by the Party receiving the designation; or
d) in the case of failure by such airline to comply with the laws and regulations of the Party granting these rights; or
e) in the case the airline fails to operate the agreed services in accordance with the conditions prescribed under this Agreement.
2. Unless immediate action is essential to prevent infringement of the laws and regulations referred to above, the rights enumerated in paragraph 1 of this Article shall be exercised only after consultations between the aeronautical authorities of both Parties. The consultation shall take place within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the proposal to hold a consultation, unless both Parties mutually agree on another timeframe.

2. The laws, regulations and procedures of one Party relating to the admission to, sojourn in, or departure from its territory of passengers, crew, baggage and cargo including mail such as those regarding entry, clearance, immigration, customs, currency, health and quarantine shall be complied with by the airline of the other Party or on behalf of such passengers, crew, entity entitled of baggage, cargo and mail upon entry into, or departure from, or while within the territory of the said Party.
3. Neither Party shall give preference to its own or any other airline over a designated airline of the other Party engaged in similar international air services in the application of its laws and regulations provided for in this Article.

Aircraft operated on international air services by the designated airlines of either Party, as well as their regular equipment, ground equipment, spare parts (including engines), supplies of lubricants, other consumable technical supplies and aircraft stores (including food, beverages, liquor and tobacco) and other products destined for sale to or use by passengers in limited quantities during flight on board such aircraft, shall, on entering into the territory of the other Party, be exempt from all duties or taxes, provided such equipment, supplies and aircraft stores remain on board the aircraft until they are re-exported, or are used on the part of the journey performed over that territory.
2. Exempt from the same duties and taxes, with exception of charges corresponding to the services performed, shall also be:
a) aircraft stores taken on board in the territory of either Party, within the limits fixed by the authorities of one Party, and intended for use on board an aircraft operated in an international service by a designated airline of the other Party;

5. The exemptions provided for by this Article shall also be available in situations where the designated airlines of either Party have entered into arrangements with another airline or airlines for the loan or transfer in the territory of the other Party of the items specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, provided such other airline or airlines similarly enjoy such exemptions from the other Party.
1. Each Party may impose or permit to be imposed on the designated airline of the other Party just and reasonable charges for the use of airports, other facilities and air services under its control.
2. Those charges shall not be higher than the charges imposed upon aircraft of the designated airlines of each Party engaged in similar international services.
3. Such charges shall be just and reasonable and shall be based on sound economic principles.
TRAFFIC IN DIRECT TRANSIT

Baggage and cargo in direct transit shall be exempt from customs duties and other similar taxes.
RECOGNITION OF CERTIFICATES AND LICENCES
1. Certificates of airworthiness, certificates of competency and licences issued or rendered valid by one Party and still in force shall be recognised as valid by the other Party for the purpose of operating the agreed services, provided that the requirements under which such certificates and licences were issued or rendered valid are equal to or above the minimum standards which may be established under the Convention.
2. Paragraph 1 of this Article also applies with respect to an airline designated by the Republic of Slovenia whose regulatory control is exercised and maintained by another European Union Member State.

2. The competent authorities of each Party shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the representation of the airline designated by the other Party may exercise their activities in an orderly manner.
3. The designated airlines of each Party shall have the right to sell, in the territory of the other Party, air transportation, and any person shall be free to purchase such transportation in the currency of that territory or in freely convertible currencies of other countries in accordance with the foreign exchange regulations in force.
4. All the above activities shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in force in the territory of the other Party.
CONVERSION AND TRANSFER OF REVENUES

2. The designated airline of one Party shall have the rights to pay for local expenses in the territory of the other Party in local currency, or provided that this is in accordance with local currency regulations, in any freely convertible currencies.
3. In the event there exists a special agreement between the Parties for the avoidance of double taxation, or in the case where there is a special agreement ruling the transfer of funds between the two Parties, such special agreement shall prevail.
PRINCIPLES GOVERNING OPERATION OF THE AGREED SERVICES
1. There shall be fair and equal opportunity for the designated airlines of both Parties to operate the agreed services on the specified routes.
2. In operating the agreed services, the designated airlines of each Party shall take into account the interests of the designated airlines of the other Party so as not to affect unduly the services, which the latter provides on the whole, or part of the same route.
3. The agreed services provided by the designated airlines of the Parties shall bear a close relationship to the requirements of the public for transportation on the specified routes and shall have as their primary objective, the provision of capacity adequate to carry the current and reasonably anticipated traffic requirements, including seasonal variations for the carriage of traffic embarked or disembarked in the territory of the Party which has designated the airlines.
NOTIFICATION OF TIME-TABLES
The time-tables of the agreed services shall be notified at least thirty (30) days prior to the intended date of their implementation. Any modification to such time-tables shall also be notified to the aeronautical authorities of the Parties. In special cases, the above specified notification period may be reduced, subject to the mutual agreement of the said authorities of both Parties.
1. Each Party may request consultations at any time concerning the safety standards in any area relating to aeronautical facilities, flight crew, aircraft and the operation of aircraft adopted by the other Party. Such consultations shall take place within thirty (30) days of that request.
2. If, following such consultations, one Party finds that the other Party does not effectively maintain and administer safety standards in any such area that are at least equal to the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, the first Party shall notify the other Party of such findings and the steps considered necessary to conform with those minimum standards, and that other Party shall take appropriate corrective action. Failure by the other Party to take appropriate action within fifteen (15) days or such other period as may be mutually agreed by both Parties shall be grounds for the application of Article 4 of this Agreement.
3. Notwithstanding the obligations mentioned in Article 33 of the Convention, it is agreed that, any aircraft operated by the designated airlines of one Party on services to or from the territory of the other Party may, while within the territory of the other Party, be made the subject of an examination by the authorised representatives of the other Party, on board and around the aircraft to check both the validity of the aircraft documents and those of its flight crew and the apparent condition of the aircraft and its equipment (called “ramp inspection”), provided this does not lead to unreasonable delay.
4. If any such ramp inspection or series of ramp inspections gives rise to serious concerns that an aircraft or the operation of an aircraft does not comply with the minimum standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, or serious concerns that there is a lack of effective maintenance and administration of safety standards established at that time pursuant to the Convention, the Party carrying out the inspection shall, for the purposes of Article 33 of the Convention, be free to conclude that the requirements under which the certificate or licences in respect of that aircraft or in respect of the flight crew of that aircraft have been issued or rendered valid, or that the requirements under which that aircraft is operated, are not equal to or above the minimum standards established pursuant to the Convention.
5. In the event that access for the purpose of undertaking a ramp inspection of an aircraft operated by the designated airline or airlines of one Party in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article is denied by the representative of that designated airline or airlines, the other Party shall be free to infer that serious concerns of the type referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article arise and draw the conclusions referred to in that paragraph.
6. Each Party reserves the right to suspend or vary the operating authorisation of the designated airline or airlines of the other Party immediately in the event the first Party concludes, whether as a result of a ramp inspection, a series of ramp inspections, a denial of access for ramp inspection, consultation or otherwise, that immediate action is essential to the safety of an airline’s or airlines’ operation.
7. Any action by one Party in accordance with paragraph 2 or 6 of this Article shall be discontinued once the basis for the taking of that action ceases to exist.
8. Where one Party has designated an airline whose regulatory control is exercised and maintained by an European Union Member State, the rights of the other Party under this Article shall apply equally in respect of the adoption, exercise or maintenance of safety standards by that European Union Member State and in respect of the operating authorisation of that airline.
1. Consistent 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:
a) The Convention on Offences and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, signed at Tokyo on 14 September 1963;
b) The Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft, signed at The Hague on 16 December 1970;
c) The Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal on 23 September 1971, and its Supplementary Protocol for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts of Violence at Airports Serving International Civil Aviation, signed at Montreal on 24 February 1988;
d) The Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives for the Purpose of Detection, signed at Montreal on 1 March 1991;
and any aviation security agreement that becomes binding on both Parties.
2. The Parties shall, in their mutual relations, act as a minimum, in conformity with the aviation security provisions established by International Civil Aviation Organization and designated as Annexes to the Convention to the extent that such security provisions are applicable to the Parties; 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 or are established in their territory under the Treaty establishing the European Union and have received valid Operating Licences in accordance with European Union Law and the operators of airports in their territory act in conformity with such aviation security provisions.
3. 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, their passengers and crew, airports and air navigation facilities, and any other threat to the security of civil aviation.
4. Each Party agrees that such operators of aircraft shall be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article above required by the other Party for entry into the territory of that other Party and also for departure from, or while within, the territory of the Republic of Singapore. For departures from, or while within the territory of the Republic of Slovenia, operators of aircraft shall be required to observe aviation security provisions in conformity with European Union law. Each Party shall ensure that adequate measures are effectively applied within its territory to protect the aircraft and to inspect passengers, crew, carryon items, baggage, cargo and aircraft stores prior to and during boarding or loading. Each Party shall also give sympathetic consideration to any request from the other 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 Parties shall assist each other by facilitating communications and other appropriate measures intended to terminate rapidly and safely such incident or threat thereof.
6. If one Party has or encounters a problem in respect of this Article, the aeronautical authorities of that Party may request immediate consultations with the aeronautical authorities of the other Party.
7. When a Party has reasonable grounds to believe that the other Party has departed from the provisions of this Article, the aeronautical authorities of the first Party may request immediate consultations with the aeronautical authorities of the other Party. Failure to reach a satisfactory agreement within fifteen (15) days from the date of such request shall constitute grounds for the application of paragraph 1 of Article 4 of this Agreement. When required by an emergency, a Party may take interim action under paragraph 1 of Article 4 of this Agreement prior to the expiry of fifteen (15) days. Any action taken in accordance with this paragraph shall be discontinued upon compliance by the other Party with the security provisions of this Article.
COMPUTER RESERVATION SYSTEMS
Each Party shall apply the International Civil Aviation Organization Code of Conduct for the Regulation and Operation of Computer Reservation Systems within its territory consistent with other applicable laws, regulations and obligations concerning computer reservation systems, which, in the case of the Republic of Slovenia, also include European Union law.
The aeronautical authorities of one Party shall supply the aeronautical authorities of the other Party, at their request, with such statistics as may be reasonably required for the information purposes.
1. Each Party shall allow tariffs for air services to be established freely by each designated airline.
2. Neither Party may require notification or filing of any tariff to be charged by an airline or airlines designated under this Agreement.
3. The tariffs to be charged by the airline or airlines designated by the Republic of Singapore for carriage wholly within European Union shall be subject to European Union Law, which shall be applied on a non-discriminatory basis.
1. Any designated airline may, subject to applicable laws and regulations governing competition, enter into code-sharing arrangements with any other airline or airlines provided that:
a) each flight forming part of a service to which the arrangements apply is operated by an airline entitled to operate that flight;
b) no service is held out by an airline of one state for the carriage of local passengers between a point in the territory of the other state and a point in a third state, or between two points in the territory of the other state, unless that airline is entitled to operate and carry local traffic between those two points in its own right; and,
c) in respect of each ticket sold, the purchaser is informed at the point of sale which airline will operate each sector of the service.
Where the Republic of Slovenia has designated an airline whose regulatory control is exercised and maintained by another European Union Member State, the rights of the Republic of Singapore under Article 14 of this Agreement shall apply equally in respect of the adoption, exercise or maintenance of safety standards by that other European Union Member State and in respect of the operating authorisation of that airline.
1. In order to ensure close cooperation concerning all the issues related to the interpretation, application, implementation or amendment of this Agreement, the aeronautical authorities of both Parties shall consult each other whenever it becomes necessary, on request of either Party.
2. Such consultation shall begin within a period of sixty (60) days from the date the other Party has received the written request, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties.
1. If either Party considers it desirable to modify any provision of this Agreement, it may at any time request consultation to the other Party, in accordance with Article 21 of this Agreement.
2. This Agreement may be amended by written agreement between the Parties.
1. Any dispute arising between the Parties relating to the interpretation or application of this Agreement, the Parties shall in the first place endeavour to settle it by negotiation through diplomatic channels.
2. If the Parties fail to reach a settlement by negotiations, they may agree to refer the dispute for decision to some entity, or the dispute may at the request of either Party, be submitted for decision to an arbitral tribunal of three arbitrators, one to be nominated by each Party and the third to be appointed by the two so nominated.
3. Each Party shall nominate an arbitrator within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt by either Party from the other Party of a diplomatic note requesting arbitration of the dispute, and the third arbitrator shall be appointed within a further period of sixty (60) days.
4. If either of the Parties fails to nominate its own arbitrator within the period specified or if the third arbitrator is not appointed, the President of the Council of International Civil Aviation Organization may be requested by either Party to appoint an arbitrator or arbitrators as the case requires. In such case, the third arbitrator shall be a national of a third State and shall act as president of the arbitral body.
5. The Parties undertake to comply with any decision given under paragraph 2 of this Article.
6. If and so long as either Party or the designated airline or airlines of either Party fail to comply with the decision given under paragraph 2 of this Article, the other Party may limit, suspend or revoke any rights or privileges which it has granted by virtue of this Agreement to the Party in default.
7. Each Party shall bear the costs of the arbitrator appointed by it. The other costs of the arbitral tribunal shall be shared equally by the Parties.
1. This Agreement shall remain in force for an undetermined period.
2. Either Party may, at any time, give notice in writing to the other Party of its decision to terminate this Agreement.
3. Such notice shall be simultaneously communicated to the International Civil Aviation Organization and shall take effect twelve (12) months after the date of receipt of the notice in writing by the other Party, unless such notice is withdrawn by mutual agreement of both Parties before the expiration of the twelve (12) month period.
4. In the absence of acknowledgment of receipt by the other Party, the notice shall be deemed to have been received fourteen (14) days after the receipt of the notice by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
REGISTRATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION
This Agreement and any amendment thereto shall be registered upon its entry into force with the International Civil Aviation Organization.
This Agreement shall enter into force thirty (30) days after the date of the receipt of the last notification, through diplomatic channels, indicating that all the internal procedures required for the purpose have been fulfilled.
In witness whereof the undersigned, duly authorised thereto by their respective Governments, have signed this Agreement.
