Artikel 16

1. The Parties agree to give particular attention to tariffs which may be objectionable because they appear unreasonably discriminatory, unduly high or restrictive because of the abuse of a dominant position, artificially low because of direct or indirect subsidy or support, or “predatory”.
2. Each Party may require notification or filing of tariffs proposed by the designated airline(s) of the other Party for carriage to or from its territory. Such notification or filing may be required not more than thirty (30) days before the proposed date of introduction. In special cases, this period may be reduced.
3. Neither Party shall take unilateral action to prevent the inauguration of a proposed tariff or the continuation of an effective tariff of a designated airline of either Party for carriage between the territories of the Parties.
4. Approval of tariffs consequent upon the provisions of paragraph 3 above may be given expressly by either Party to the airline(s) filing the tariffs. Where either Party believes that a tariff falls within the categories described in paragraph 1 above, such Party shall give notice of dissatisfaction to the other Party as soon as possible and at least within thirty (30) days of the date of notification or filing of the tariff, and may avail itself of the consultation procedures set out in paragraph 5 below. However, unless both Parties have agreed in writing to disapprove the tariffs concerned under those procedures, the tariffs shall be considered approved.
5. Each Party may request consultation regarding any tariff of an airline of either Party for services covered by this Agreement, including where the tariff concerned has been subject to a notice of dissatisfaction. Such consultations shall be held not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request. The Parties shall cooperate in securing information necessary for reasoned resolution of the issues. If the Parties reach agreement with respect to a tariff for which notice of dissatisfaction has been given, each Party shall use its best efforts to put that agreement into effect but if no agreement is reached the tariff in question shall go into or continue in effect.
