**1.** Each Contracting Party shall allow tariffs for air services to be decided by each designated airline based on commercial considerations in the marketplace. Intervention by the Contracting Parties shall be limited to:
the prevention of unreasonably discriminatory tariffs or practices;
the protection of consumers from tariffs that are unreasonably high or restrictive due to the abuse of a dominant position; and
the protection of airlines from tariffs that are artificially low due to direct or indirect governmental subsidy or support.
**2.** Each Contracting Party may require notification to or filing with its aeronautical authorities of tariffs to be charged to or from its territory by a designated airline of the other Contracting Party. Notification or filing by the airlines of both Contracting Parties may be required no more than thirty (30) days before the proposed date of effectiveness. In individual cases, notification or filing may be permitted on shorter notice than normally required. Neither Contracting Party shall require the notification or filing by a designated airline of the other Contracting Party of tariffs charged by charterers to the public, except as may be required on a non-discriminatory basis for information purposes.
**3.** Except as otherwise provided in this Article, neither Contracting Party shall take unilateral action to prevent the inauguration or continuation of a tariff proposed to be charged or charged by a designated airline of either Contracting Party for international air service.
**4.** If a Contracting Party believes that a tariff proposed to be charged by a designated airline of the other Contracting Party for international air service is inconsistent with considerations set forth in paragraph 1 of this Article, it shall request consultations with the aeronautical authorities and notify the other Contracting Party of the reasons for its dissatisfaction as soon as possible. These consultations shall be held not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request, and the Contracting Parties shall cooperate in securing information necessary for reasoned resolution of the issue. If the Contracting Parties reach agreement with respect to a tariff for which a notice of dissatisfaction has been given, each Contracting Party shall use its best efforts to put that agreement into effect. Without such mutual agreement to the contrary, the previously existing tariff shall continue to be in effect.
