Artikel 7

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 on the specific routes, provided that the requirements under which such certificates and licences were issued or rendered valid are in conformity with the minimum standards established under the Convention.
2. If the privileges or conditions of the licences or certificates referred to in paragraph 1 above, issued by the aeronautical authorities of one Party to any person or designated airline or in respect of an aircraft used in the operation of the agreed services, should permit a difference from the minimum standards established under the Convention, and which difference has been filed with the ICAO, the other Party may request consultations between the aeronautical authorities with a view to clarifying the practice in question.
3. Each Party reserves the right, however, to refuse to recognise for the purpose of flights above or landing within its own territory, certificates of competency and licences granted to its own nationals by the other Party.
