2. In operating the agreed services, the designated airline of each Contracting Party shall take into account the interest of the designated airline of the other Contracting Party so as not to affect unduly the services which the latter provides.

3. The agreed services provided by the designated airlines of the Contracting Parties shall bear close relationship to the requirements of the public for transportation on the specified routes and shall have as their objective the provision of capacity adequate to meet the current and reasonably anticipated requirement for the carriage of passengers, cargo and mail between their respective territories.

4. The schedules of the services shall be submitted for approval to the Aeronautical Authorities of the two Contracting Parties, at least 60 days before the date of their entry into force.

For the purpose of the following paragraphs, the term "tariff" means the prices to be paid for the carriage of passengers and cargo and the conditions under which those prices apply, including prices and conditions for agency and other auxiliary services but excluding remuneration and conditions for the carriage of mail.

1. The tariffs on any agreed services shall be established at reasonable levels, due regard being paid to all relevant factors, including costs of operation, reasonable profit, characteristics of service (such as standards of speed and accommodation) and the tariffs of other airlines for any part of the specified routes. These tariffs shall be fixed in accordance with the following provisions of this article.

2. The tariffs referred to in paragraph 1 of this article, together with the rates of agency commission used in conjunction with them, shall be agreed in respect of each of the specified routes between the designated airlines concerned in consultation, if possible, with other airlines operating over the whole or part of that route, and such agreement, where possible, will be reached through the rate fixing machinery of the International Air Transport Association.

3. The tariffs so agreed shall be submitted for the approval of the Aeronautical Authorities of both Contracting Parties at least ninety (90) days before the proposed date of their introduction. In special cases this period may be reduced, subject to the agreement of the said Authorities.

4. This approval may be given expressly. If neither of the Aeronautical Authorities has expressed disapproval within thirty (30) days from the date of submission, in accordance with paragraph 3 of this article, these tariffs shall be considered as approved. In the event of the period for submission being reduced, as provided for in paragraph 3, the Aeronautical Authorities may agree that the period within which any disapproval must be notified shall be less than thirty (30) days.

5. If the designated airlines cannot agree on any of these tariffs, or if for some reason a tariff cannot be agreed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 2 of this article, the Aeronautical Authorities of the Contracting Parties shall try to determine the tariff by agreement between themselves.
