Artikel 6

1. Each Party shall recognise as valid, for the purpose of operating the air transport provided for in this Agreement, certificates of airworthiness, certificates of competency and licences issued or validated by the other Party and still in force, provided that the requirements for granting such certificates or licences at least equal the minimum standards that may be established pursuant to the Convention. Each Party may, however, refuse to recognise as valid, for the purpose of flight above its own territory, certificates of competency and licences granted to or validated for its own nationals by the other Party.
2. Either Party may request consultations concerning the safety standards maintained by the other Party relating to aeronautical facilities, aircrews, aircraft and operation of designated airlines. If, following such consultations, one Party finds that the other Party does not effectively maintain and administer safety standards and requirements in these areas that at least equal the minimum standards that may be established pursuant to the Convention, it shall notify the other Party of such findings and the steps considered necessary to comply with these minimum standards, and the other Party shall take appropriate corrective action. Each Party reserves the right to withhold, revoke or limit the operating authorisation or technical permission of an airline or airlines designated by the other Party in the event that the other Party does not take such appropriate corrective action within a reasonable time.
