Art. 4 Verdrag inzake luchtdiensten tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Democratische Socialistische Republiek Sri Lanka — Revocation and Suspension of Authorization

1. Either Contracting Party may, temporarily or permanently, withhold, suspend, revoke or limit the operating authorizations or technical permissions of an Airline designated by the other Contracting Party where: in the case an Airline is designated by the Netherlands: the Airline is not established in the Territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands under European Union Treaties or does not have a valid Operating License in accordance with European Union law; or effective regulatory control of the Airline is not exercised or not maintained by the European Union Member State responsible for issuing its Air Operator’s Certificate or the relevant Aeronautical Authority is not clearly identified in the designation; or the Airline is not owned, directly or through majority ownership, or is not effectively controlled by Member States of the European Union or the European Free Trade Association and/or by nationals of such States; or the Airline is already authorized to operate under a bilateral agreement between Sri Lanka and another European Union Member State and by exercising traffic rights under this Agreement on a route that includes a point in that other Member State, it would be circumventing restrictions on the traffic rights imposed by the other agreement; or the Airline designated holds an Air Operator’s Certificate issued by a European Union Member State with which Sri Lanka does not have a bilateral Air Service Arrangement and that Member State has denied traffic rights to Sri Lanka, in the case an Airline is designated by the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka: the Airline is not incorporated and does not have its principal place of business in the Territory of the designating party; or the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka does not have or maintain effective regulatory control of the Airline; or the Airline does not hold a current Air Operator’s certificate issued by the Aeronautical Authority of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka; in case the other Contracting Party is not maintaining and administering the standards set forth in Article 8 (Fair Competition), Article 14 (Safety) and Article 15 (Aviation Security) of this Agreement; or in the event such Airline fails to qualify before the Aeronautical Authorities of the Contracting Party assessing the authorization, under the laws and regulations normally and reasonably applied to the operation of International Air Services by these Authorities in conformity with the Convention. 2. Unless immediate action is essential to prevent further non-compliance with the conditions as referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the rights established by this Article shall be exercised only after consultation with the other Contracting Party. Unless otherwise agreed by the Contracting Parties, such consultations shall begin within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of the request. 3. This Article does not limit the rights of either Contracting Party to withhold, suspend, revoke, limit or impose conditions on the operating authorization of an Airline or Airlines of the other Contracting Party in accordance with the provisions of Article 14 (Safety) and Article 15 (Aviation Security) of this Agreement.
