Artikel 7

1. Each Party shall allow a fair and equal opportunity for each Designated Airline to compete in providing the International Air Services governed by this Agreement.
2. Each Party shall take all appropriate action within its jurisdiction to eliminate all forms of discrimination or unfair competitive practices adversely affecting the competitive position of the Airline(s) of the other Party.
3. Each Party shall allow any Designated Airline of the other Party to determine the frequency and capacity of the Agreed Services it offers based on the Airline's commercial considerations in the marketplace. Therefore, neither Party shall impose on the Designated Airline of the other Party any requirement with respect to capacity, frequency or traffic that would be inconsistent with the purposes of this Agreement. Neither Party shall unilaterally limit the volume of traffic, frequency or regularity of service, or of the aircraft type or types operated by the Designated Airline of the other Party, except as may be required for customs and other government inspection services, technical, or operational reasons under uniform conditions consistent with Article 15 of the Convention.
4. Neither Party shall impose on the Designated Airlines of the other Party a first-refusal requirement, uplift ratio, no-objection fee, or any other requirements with respect to capacity, frequency or traffic that would be inconsistent with the purposes of this Agreement.
