**1.** Each Party shall allow prices for air transportation to be established by airlines of both Parties based upon commercial considerations in the marketplace. Intervention by the Parties shall be limited to:
prevention of unreasonably discriminatory prices or practices;
protection of consumers from prices that are unreasonably high or restrictive due to the abuse of a dominant position; and
protection of airlines from prices that are artificially low due to direct or indirect governmental subsidy or support.
**2.** Prices for international air transportation between the territories of the Parties shall not be required to be filed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the airlines of the Parties shall provide immediate access, on request, to information on historical, existing, and proposed prices to the aeronautical authorities of the Parties in a manner and format acceptable to those aeronautical authorities.
**3.** Neither Party shall take unilateral action to prevent the inauguration or continuation of a price proposed to be charged or charged by (1) an airline of either Party for international air transportation between the territories of the Parties, or (2) an airline of one Party for international air transportation between the territory of the other Party and any other country, including in both cases transportation on an interline or intraline basis. If either Party believes that any such price is inconsistent with the considerations set forth in paragraph 1 of this Article, it shall request consultations and notify the other Party of the reasons for its dissatisfaction as soon as possible. These consultations shall be held not later than 30 days after receipt of the request, and the Parties shall cooperate in securing information necessary for reasoned resolution of the issue. If the Parties reach agreement with respect to a price for which a notice of dissatisfaction has been given, each Party shall use its best efforts to put that agreement into effect. Without such mutual agreement, the price shall go into effect or continue in effect.
