User Charge. (1) A Contracting Party shall not impose or permit to be imposed on the designated airlines of the other Contracting Party user charges higher than those imposed on its own airlines operating similar international air services. Such charges shall be just and reasonable and equitably apportioned among categories of users. (2) A Contracting Party shall not be held to be in breach of this Article unless: (a) it fails to undertake a review of the charging practice that is the subject of a complaint by the other Contracting Party within a reasonable time; or (b) following such a review, it fails to take all steps within its power to remedy any charge or practice that is inconsistent with this Article. (3) Each Contracting Party shall encourage consultation on user charges between its competent charging authorities and airlines using the services and facilities provided by those charging authorities, where practicable through those airlines’ representative organisations. Reasonable notice of any proposals for changes in user charges should be given to such users to enable them to express their views before changes are made. Each Contracting Party shall further encourage its competent charging authorities and such users to exchange such information as may be necessary to permit an accurate review of the reasonableness of the charges.
