（五）儘管有上述分款（一）、（二）的規定，締約雙方航空當局不得要求提交兩地區地點之間貨運價的申請。此種運價由有關空運企業決定生效時間。

（六）如一項根據上款生效的運價被締約一方航空當局認為對在某一條或數條航線上的另一家或多家空運企業造成嚴重損害，該航空當局可以要求與締約另一方航空當局協商。此項協商應在提出要求的二十一天內結束，除非締約雙方航空當局達成其他協議。

五、在締約任何一方指定的空運企業已與另一家或多家空運企業關於在締約另一方地區租用或移交本條第一款和第二款所規定各項物品作出安排的情況下，本條規定的免除辦法亦將適用，但該另一家空運企業或多家空運企業須同樣獲得該締約另一方的此項免除。

4. The aeronautical authorities of both Contracting Parties shall apply the following provisions for the approval of tariffs to be charged by airlines of either Contracting Party for carriage between a point in the area of one Contracting Party and a point in the area of the other Contracting Party:

(a) Any proposed tariff to be charged for carriage between the areas of the two Contracting Parties shall be filed by or on behalf of the designated airline concerned with both aeronautical authorities at least 30 days (or such shorter period as both aeronautical authorities may agree) before it is proposed that the tariff will take effect.

(b) A tariff so filed may be approved at any time by the aeronautical authorities. However, subject to the next two following sub-paragraphs, any such tariff shall be treated as having been approved 21 days after the day on which the filing was received unless the aeronautical authorities of both Contracting Parties have informed each other in writing within 20 days of the filing being received by them that they disapprove the proposed tariff.

(c) Nothing in sub-paragraph (b) above shall prevent the aeronautical authority of either Contracting Party from unilaterally disallowing any tariff filed by one of their own designated airlines. However, such unilateral action shall be taken only if it appears to that authority either that a proposed tariff is excessive (that its application would constitute anti-competitive behavior likely to cause serious damage to another airline or other airlines).

(d) If the aeronautical authority of either Contracting Party consider either that the proposed tariff filed with them by a designated airline of the other Contracting Party is excessive or that its application would constitute anti-competitive behavior likely to cause serious damage to another airline or other airlines they may, within 20 days of receiving the filing, request consultations with the aeronautical authority of the other Contracting Party. Such consultations shall be completed within 21 days of being requested and the tariff shall take effect at the end of that period unless the authorities of both Contracting Parties agree otherwise.

(e) Notwithstanding sub-paragraphs (a) — (d) above, the aeronautical authorities of the two Contracting Parties shall not require the filing for their approval of tariffs for the carriage of cargo between points in their areas. Such tariffs will take effect when the airline concerned so decides.

(f) In the event that a tariff which has come into effect in accordance with the provisions above is considered by the aeronautical authority of one Contracting Party to be causing serious damage to another airline or other airlines on a particular route or routes, that aeronautical authority may request consultations with the aeronautical authority of the other Contracting Party. Such consultations shall be completed within 21 days of being requested unless the authorities of both Contracting Parties agree otherwise.

5. (a) The tariffs to be charged by a designated airline of one Contracting Party for carriage between the area of the other Contracting Party and a third Party shall be filed for the approval of the aeronautical authority of the other Contracting Party.

Each tariff filed shall be given approval if it is identical in level, conditions and date of expiry to a tariff currently approved by that aeronautical authority and applied by a designated airline of that other Contracting Party for carriage between their area and that of the third Party, provided that the aeronautical authority may withdraw their approval if the tariff being matched is discontinued for any reason, or may vary the terms of the approval to correspond to any approved variation in the tariff being matched.

(b) Notwithstanding sub-paragraph (a) above, the aeronautical authorities of the two Contracting Parties shall not require the filing for their approval of tariffs to be charged by the designated airline or airlines of one Contracting Party for the carriage of cargo between the area of the other Contracting Party and the third Party.

Each Contracting Party agrees that its airlines may be required to observe the aviation security provisions referred to in paragraph 3 required by the other Contracting Party, for entrance into, departure from, or while within, the area of that other Contracting Party. Each Contracting Party shall also act favorably upon any request from the other Contracting Party for reasonable special security measures to meet a particular threat.
