(1)Vsaka pogodbenica prizna drugi pogodbenici v tem sporazumu določene pravice, da opravlja zračni promet na progah, določenih v prilogi tega sporazuma (v nadaljnjem besedilu “dogovorjeni promet” in “določene proge”).

(2)V skladu z določbami tega sporazuma ima določeni prevoznik pogodbenice naslednje pravice: (a) pravico do preleta ozemlja druge pogodbenice brez pristanka; (b) pravico do pristanka na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v nekomercialne namene in (c) pravico, da med opravljanjem dogovorjenega prometa na določeni progi opravlja pristanke na omenjenem ozemlju na kraju ali krajih, določenih v prilogi tega sporazuma, zato da vkrca in izkrca potnike, tovor in pošto.

(3)Nobene določbe drugega odstavka tega člena ni možno razumeti tako, da ima določeni prevoznik ene pogodbenice na ozemlju druge pogodbenice pravico za plačilo ali najemnino vkrcati potnike, prtljago, tovor ali pošto, namenjene v kakšen drug kraj na njenem ozemlju.

(1)Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico, da drugi pogodbenici pisno sporoči prevoznika oziroma prevoznike, ki bodo opravljali dogovorjeni promet na določenih progah.

(2)Po prejemu obvestila o določitvi druga pogodbenica, če ni zadržkov iz tretjega in četrtega odstavka tega člena, nemudoma izda določenemu prevozniku oziroma prevoznikom ustrezno dovoljenje za opravljanje prometa.

(3)Pristojni organ ene pogodbenice lahko zahteva, da določeni prevoznik druge pogodbenice dokaže, da izpolnjuje pogoje, določene v zakonih in predpisih, ki jih ta organ v skladu z določbami konvencije normalno in v razumni meji uporablja za opravljanje mednarodnega komercialnega zračnega prometa.

(4)Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico odkloniti določenega prevoznika in zadržati oziroma preklicati pravice iz drugega odstavka 2. člena tega sporazuma ali postaviti take pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za uresničevanje teh pravic v vsakem primeru, kjer se ji zdi, da pogodbenica, ki določi prevoznika, ali njeni državljani niso odločujoči lastnik in nimajo dejanskega nadzora nad določenim prevoznikom.

(5)Ko so izpolnjene določbe iz prvega in drugega odstavka tega člena, lahko tako določeni prevoznik, ki ima za to dovoljenje, prične opravljati dogovorjeni promet, če zanj veljajo tarife, določene v skladu z 8. členom tega sporazuma.

(6)Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico začasno prepovedati določenemu prevozniku uresničevanje pravic, določenih v drugem odstavku 2. člena tega sporazuma, ali določiti take pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za uresničevanje teh pravic, kadar koli prevoznik ne spoštuje zakonov in predpisov pogodbenice, ki daje te pravice, ali pa kako drugače ne upošteva določb tega sporazuma. Če takojšnja začasna prepoved uresničevanja ali uveljavitev pogojev ni bistvena za preprečitev nadaljnjega kršenja zakonov in predpisov, se ta pravica uporabi le po posvetovanju z drugo pogodbenico.

(1)Letala, ki jih uporablja v mednarodnem zračnem prometu določeni prevoznik katere koli pogodbenice, kot tudi njihova običajna oprema, rezervni deli, zaloge goriva in maziv ter zaloge (vključno s hrano, pijačo in tobakom), ki so na takem letalu, so po prihodu na ozemlje druge pogodbenice oproščeni vseh carin, inšpekcijskih taks in drugih davščin ali taks, če ostanejo na letalih, dokler se ponovno ne izvozijo.

(2)Zaloge goriva, maziv, rezervnih delov, običajne opreme in zaloge na letalu, ki jih na ozemlje ene pogodbenice pripelje določeni prevoznik druge pogodbenice ali so pripeljane v njegovem imenu ali so v letalu, ki ga upravlja določeni prevoznik in so izključno namenjene uporabi med opravljanjem mednarodnega prometa, so oproščene vseh državnih davščin in taks, vključno s carinami in inšpekcijskimi taksami, ki veljajo na ozemlju prve pogodbenice, tudi kadar so porabljene na delu poleta nad ozemljem pogodbenice, na katerem so bile natovorjene. Lahko se zahteva, da so zgoraj omenjeni predmeti pod carinskim nadzorom.

(3)Običajna oprema v letalu, rezervni deli, zaloge na letalu in zaloge goriva in maziv, ki so v letalih prevoznika katere koli pogodbenice, so lahko raztovorjeni na ozemlju druge pogodbenice le z odobritvijo carinskih organov te pogodbenice, ki lahko zahteva, da se ti predmeti dajo pod njihov nadzor, dokler niso ponovno izvoženi ali drugače porabljeni v skladu s carinskimi predpisi.

(4)Gorivo, maziva, rezervni deli, običajna oprema na letalu in zaloge na letalu, ki so vkrcani na letalo ene pogodbenice na ozemlju druge pogodbenice in ki se izključno uporabljajo na poletih med dvema krajema na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, se glede carin, inšpekcijskih taks in drugih podobnih državnih ali lokalnih dajatev in taks ne obravnavajo nič manj ugodno kot nacionalni prevoznik tiste pogodbenice.

(1)Ob upoštevanju določb zakonov in predpisov, ki veljajo na ozemlju vsake pogodbenice, je prevoznik, ki ga določi ena pogodbenica v skladu s 3. členom upravičen, da ima na ozemlju druge pogodbenice tehnično, administrativno in poslovno osebje, ki ga potrebuje za opravljanje zračnega prometa v skladu s prilogo k temu sporazumu, in da odpre in vodi svoja predstavništva.

(2)Za poslovne dejavnosti velja načelo vzajemnosti. Pristojne oblasti vsake pogodbenice storijo vse, da predstavništva določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice lahko nemoteno opravljajo svoje dejavnosti na ozemlju druge pogodbenice.

(3)Vsaka pogodbenica dovoljuje določenemu prevozniku druge pogodbenice, da na njenem ozemlju prodaja svoje prevozne zmogljivosti neposredno in po lastni presoji po agentih. Vsak prevoznik ima pravico prodajati take prevozne zmogljivosti in vsak jih lahko prosto kupuje v lokalni valuti ali v prosto konvertibilni valuti drugih držav v skladu z veljavno notranjo zakonodajo in predpisi.

(1)Zakoni in predpisi ene pogodbenice, s katerimi so urejeni prihod in odhod letal v mednarodnem prometu, kot tudi poleti čez njeno ozemlje, se uporabljajo tudi za letala določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice.

(2)Zakoni in predpisi ene pogodbenice o prihodu, začasnem bivanju in odhodu s tega ozemlja potnikov, posadke, tovora ali pošte kot tudi formalnosti glede prihoda, odhoda, priseljevanja in izseljevanja ter carinski in sanitarni ukrepi veljajo za potnike, posadko, tovor ali pošto, ki jih prevaža letalo določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice, medtem ko je znotraj omenjenega ozemlja.

(3)Nobena pogodbenica nima pravice svojemu prevozniku v primerjavi z določenim prevoznikom druge pogodbenice dajati kakršne koli prednosti pri uporabi zakonov in predpisov, omenjenih v prvem in drugem odstavku tega člena.

(1)Določena prevoznika obeh pogodbenic imata primerne in enake možnosti za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa na določenih progah med njunima ozemljema.

(2)Pri izvajanju dogovorjenega prometa vsak določeni prevoznik vsake pogodbenice upošteva interese določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice tako, da ne škodi prometu, ki ga prevoznik druge pogodbenice opravlja na isti progi ali delu iste proge.

(3)Dogovorjeni promet, ki ga opravljajo določeni prevozniki pogodbenic, bo v tesni povezavi z javnimi potrebami po prevozu na določenih progah, njegov glavni namen bo ob primerni zasedenosti zagotavljanje zmogljivosti, ki bo ustrezala tekočim in normalno predvidenim potrebam po prevozu potnikov, tovora in pošte, ki izhajajo ali so namenjeni na ozemlje pogodbenice, ki je določila prevoznika. Prevoz potnikov, tovora in pošte, vkrcanih in izkrcanih v krajih na določenih progah, ki niso na ozemlju držav, ki so določile prevoznika, bo v skladu s splošnimi načeli o zmogljivosti, ki naj ustreza: (a) prometnim potrebam z ozemlja in na ozemlje pogodbenice, ki je določila prevoznika; (b) prometnim potrebam na območju, čez katero prevoznik leti, ob upoštevanju drugih prometnih povezav prevoznikov držav, ki so na tem območju, in (c) potrebam celotne operacije prevoznika.

(4)Pristojni organi pogodbenic občasno skupno presodijo, kako določeni prevozniki pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa v praksi izvajajo načela, ki jih navajajo zgornji odstavki tega člena.

(5)Nobena pogodbenica ne sme enostransko omejiti delovanja določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice, razen v skladu s tem sporazumom ali v skladu z enotnimi pogoji, kot jih predvideva konvencija.

(1)Tarife, ki jih zaračunavajo določeni prevozniki pogodbenic za prevoz med Republiko Slovenijo in Malezijo, odobrita oba pristojna organa. Določene bodo na razumni ravni ob upoštevanju vseh bistvenih dejavnikov, vključno s stroški dogovorjenega prometa, interesi uporabnikov, primernim dobičkom in tarifami drugih prevoznikov, ki delujejo na celotni progi ali njenem delu.

(2)Kateri koli določeni prevoznik se lahko posvetuje o tarifnih predlogih, vendar se ne zahteva, da to stori preden vloži prošnjo za predlagano tarifo. Pristojni organ vsake pogodbenice prošnjo sprejme le, če določeni prevoznik, ki vloži prošnjo, potrdi, da je drugega določenega prevoznika obvestil o predlaganih tarifah.

(3)Kateri koli predlog za tarifo za prevoz med Republiko Slovenijo in Malezijo se vloži pri pristojnih organih obeh pogodbenic na način, ki ga zahtevata pristojna organa. Predlog ne sme biti vložen manj kot 60 dni (razen če ustrezna pristojna organa predhodno odobrita krajši rok za vložitev vloge) pred dnem, ki je predlagan za njihovo uveljavitev. Predlog za tarifo se šteje, da je bil vložen pri pogodbenici na dan, ko ga prejme pristojni organ te pogodbenice. Vsak določen prevoznik mora le pred svojim pristojnim organom utemeljiti svoj predlog za tarife in ne pred drugim organom, razen če je tarifa registrirana enostransko.

(4)Vsako predlagano tarifo lahko kadar koli odobri pristojni organ katere koli pogodbenice pod pogojem, da je bila registrirana v skladu s tretjim odstavkom tega člena.

(5)Če se tarifa ne odobri v skladu z določbami četrtega odstavka tega člena, lahko pristojni organ katere koli pogodbenice zahteva posvetovanje, ki se mora izvesti v 30 dneh po vložitvi zahtevka, če se pristojna organa ne dogovorita drugače.

(6)Če en pristojni organ tarife ne odobri v skladu s četrtim odstavkom tega člena in pristojnima organoma ni uspelo doseči soglasja po posvetovanjih v skladu s petim odstavkom tega člena, se spor poskuša rešiti v skladu z določbami 14. člena tega sporazuma. Vendar v nobenem primeru pogodbenica ne sme zahtevati tarife, ki je drugačna od tarife prevoznika, ki ga je sama določila, za primerljive storitve med istimi kraji.

(7)Tarifa, ki je uvedena v skladu z določbami tega člena, velja, dokler se ne uvede nadomestna tarifa.

(8)Tarife, ki jih zaračunava določeni prevoznik ene pogodbenice za prevoz med območjem druge pogodbenice in ozemljem države, ki ni pogodbenica, so predložene v odobritev drugi pogodbenici in državi, ki ni pogodbenica, vendar pod pogojem, da pogodbenica ne zahteva tarife, ki je drugačna od tarife njenega lastnega prevoznika za primerljive storitve med istima krajema. Določeni prevoznik vsake pogodbenice registrira take tarife pri drugi pogodbenici v skladu z njenimi zahtevami. Odobritev teh tarif se lahko prekliče, vendar ne prej kot po 30 dnevnem odpovednem roku, pri čemer mora pogodbenica, ki odobritev prekliče, določenemu prevozniku dovoliti, da uporablja iste tarife kot njen lastni prevoznik za primerljive storitve med istimi kraji.

Nobena pogodbenica ne uvede oziroma ne dovoli, da se za določenega prevoznika druge pogodbenice uvedejo takse za uporabnike, ki so višje od tistih, ki veljajo za njenega določenega prevoznika, ki opravlja podoben mednarodni zračni promet.

(1)V skladu s pravicami in obveznostmi mednarodnega prava pogodbenici ponovno potrjujeta kot sestavni del tega sporazuma medsebojno dolžnost, da varujeta civilno letalstvo pred dejanji nezakonitega vmešavanja. Ne da bi omejevali svoje pravice in obveznosti po mednarodnem pravu, pogodbenici še prav posebno upoštevata določbe Konvencije o kaznivih dejanjih in nekih drugih dejanjih, storjenih na letalih, sprejete v Tokiu 14. septembra 1963, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonite ugrabitve zrakoplovov, sprejete v Haagu 16. decembra 1970, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonitih dejanj zoper varnost civilnega letalstva, sprejete v Montrealu 23. septembra 1971, in katere koli druge konvencije, ki se nanaša na varnost civilnega letalstva in ki jo podpišeta obe pogodbenici.

(2)Pogodbenici na zahtevo druga drugi dajeta vso potrebno pomoč, da bi preprečili nezakonite ugrabitve civilnih letal in druga nezakonita dejanja proti varnosti takih letal, njihovih potnikov in posadk, letališč in letalskih navigacijskih naprav ter vsako drugo grožnjo varnosti civilnega letalstva.

(3)Pogodbenici v medsebojnih odnosih ravnata v skladu z določbami Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva o varnosti civilne zračne plovbe, ki so opredeljene v prilogah konvencije, v tisti meri, v kateri te določbe veljajo za obe pogodbenici; od letalskih družb, ki so vpisane v njunih registrih ali opravljajo pretežni del svojih dejavnosti ali imajo sedež na njunih ozemljih, ter od letaliških podjetij na svojih ozemljih zahtevata, da delujejo v skladu s takimi varnostnimi predpisi. V skladu s tem vsaka pogodbenica drugo obvesti o kakršnem koli neskladju med notranjepravnimi predpisi in postopki in prej omenjenimi določbami o varnosti zračne plovbe. Katera koli pogodbenica lahko kadar koli zahteva takojšen posvet z drugo pogodbenico, da se pogovorita o takšnih razhajanjih.

(4)Vsaka pogodbenica se strinja, da bo upoštevala določbe o varnosti, ki jih zahteva druga pogodbenica za prihod na ozemlje druge pogodbenice, in da bo uvedla primerne ukrepe za zaščito letala ter da bo pregledala potnike, posadko, ročno prtljago kot tudi tovor in zaloge na letalu pred in med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem. Vsaka pogodbenica z naklonjenostjo obravnava vsako zahtevo druge pogodbenice za uvedbo posebnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi določene grožnje za civilno zračno plovbo.

(5)Kadar se zgodi incident ali obstaja nevarnost za nezakonito ugrabitev letala ali za kakšno drugo nezakonito dejanje proti varnosti, potnikov, posadke, letal, letališč in letalskih navigacijskih naprav, pogodbenici pomagata druga drugi, s tem da poskrbita za komunikacije in druge ustrezne ukrepe, da bi se tak incident ali grožnja končal čim hitreje in z najmanjšim tveganjem za človeška življenja.

Vsaka pogodbenica prizna določenemu prevozniku druge pogodbenice pravico, da svoji upravi nakaže presežek prejemkov nad izdatki, ki jih zasluži na ozemlju prve pogodbenice. Postopek za tako nakazilo je v skladu z deviznimi predpisi pogodbenice na ozemlju, kjer je prihodek nastal. Če so plačila med pogodbenicama naknadno urejena s posebnim sporazumom, velja tak sporazum.

Pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic morata na zahtevo pristojnega organa druge pogodbenice pripraviti periodične statistične podatke in druge statistične izkaze v skladu s potrebami, da se preveri zmogljivost dogovorjenega prometa določenega prevoznika prve pogodbenice. Taki izkazi morajo vsebovati vse potrebne informacije za določitev obsega prometa, ki ga opravlja določeni prevoznik v dogovorjenem prometu.

Vsaka pogodbenica lahko kadar koli zahteva posvetovanja o kateri koli zadevi v zvezi s tem sporazumom. Taka posvetovanja se začno v šestdesetih dneh po prejemu pisne zahteve druge pogodbenice, razen če se pogodbenici dogovorita drugače.

(1)Vsakršen spor, ki nastane med pogodbenicama in ki se nanaša na razlago ali izvajanje tega sporazuma, se reši z neposrednimi pogajanji med pristojnima organoma pogodbenic.

(2)Če pogodbenici spora ne rešita s pogajanji, kot določa prvi odstavek tega člena, se spor reši po diplomatski poti.

(1)Če katera od pogodbenic želi spremeniti določbe tega sporazuma, lahko kadar koli zaprosi za posvet drugo pogodbenico. Tak posvet se začne v šestdesetih dneh od dneva prejema takega zahtevka.

(2)Kakršna koli sprememba tega sporazuma, dogovorjena med pogodbenicama, začne veljati po tem ko je potrjena z izmenjavo diplomatskih not.

(3)O spremembah priloge tega sporazuma se lahko neposredno dogovorita pristojna organa pogodbenic.

Če se sklene kakršna koli splošna večstranska konvencija o letalskem prometu, ki zavezuje obe pogodbenici, se bo ta sporazum spremenil tako, da ustreza določbam take konvencije.

Vsaka od pogodbenic lahko kadar koli obvesti drugo pogodbenico, da želi odstopiti od tega sporazuma. Tako obvestilo se istočasno pošlje Mednarodni organizaciji civilnega letalstva. Če se vroči tako obvestilo, sporazum preneha veljati dvanajst mesecev po dnevu prejema obvestila druge pogodbenice, razen če je obvestilo sporazumno umaknjeno pred iztekom tega roka. Če druga pogodbenica ne potrdi prejema tega obvestila, se šteje, da ga je prejela štirinajst dni po dnevu, ko ga je prejela Mednarodna organizacija civilnega letalstva.

Ta sporazum in vsakršno izmenjavo obvestil v skladu s 15. in 16. členom je treba registrirati pri Mednarodni organizaciji civilnega letalstva.

Naslovi na začetku vsakega člena tega sporazuma so samo zaradi večje preglednosti in lažje uporabnosti in nikakor ne definirajo, omejujejo ali opisujejo obsega oziroma namena tega sporazuma.

Ta sporazum se začasno uporablja od dneva podpisa in začne veljati po izpolnitvi ustavnopravnih zahtev pogodbenic na dan izmenjave diplomatskih not. V potrditev tega sta podpisana pooblaščenca, ki sta ju pravilno pooblastili njuni vladi, podpisala ta sporazum.
