Article 12

     1.  Certificates of airworthiness, certificates of competency and
licenses,  issued or rendered valid by one Contracting Party are still
in  force, shall be recognized as valid by the other Contracting Party
for  the  purpose  of  operating  the agreed services on the specified
routes  provided  that  such  certificates  or licenses were issued or
rendered  valid  in  conformity to the standards established under the
Convention.  Each  Contracting  Party,  however, reserves the right to
refuse to recognize, for flights above the territory of its own State,
certificates  of  competency and licenses granted to its own nationals
by the other Contracting Party.
     2.  Each  Contracting  Party may request consultations concerning
the  safety  standards  maintained  by  the  other  Contracting  Party
relating  to aeronautical facilities, aircrew, aircraft, and operation
of  the  designated  airlines.  If,  following such consultations, one
Contracting  Party  finds  that  the  other Contracting Party does not
effectively  maintain and administer safety standards and requirements
in  these areas that at least equal the minimum standards which may be
established  pursuant  to  the Convention, the other Contracting Party
shall  be notified of such findings and the steps considered necessary
to conform to these minimum standards, and the other Contracting Party
shall  take  appropriate  corrective  action.  Each  Contracting Party
reserves  the  right  to  suspend,  refuse  or  revoke  the  operating
authorization  for  the  airline  designated  by the other Contracting
Party  in  case  no  appropriate  action  has  been  taken  during the
appropriate time.
     3.  Each  Contracting  Party  may  request consultancy procedures
concerning  the  safety  standards maintained by the other Contracting
Party  relating  to  aeronautical  facilities,  aircrew,  aircraft and
operations of aircraft provided that such consultancy procedures to be
performed  within (30) days from the date the request is delivered. If
following  such  consultations,  one  Contracting Party finds that the
other  Contracting  Party does not effectively maintain and administer
safety  standards  and requirements in these areas that at least equal
the  minimum  standards  which  may  be  established  pursuant  to the
Convention,  the  other  Contracting  Party  shall be notified of such
findings of deficiencies and the steps considered necessary to conform
to  these safety standards, and the other Contracting Party shall take
appropriate  corrective  action  during  (30) days or during an agreed
upon time period between the two Contracting Parties.
     4. Pursuant to Article 16 of the Convention (signed in Chicago in
1944), any aircraft operated, or any aircraft which its ownership does
not  belong  to  the  designated airlines of either of the Contracting
Party  in  accordance with the designation provision of this agreement
and  is  utilized to conduct air services operation in accordance with
the provision of this Agreement to and from the territory of the State
of  the  other  Contracting  Party  through  leasing arrangements from
another air carrier belong to the State of either Contracting Party or
third  party  state,  be  the  subject  of  a search by the authorized
representatives  of  the  other Contracting Party. Notwithstanding the
obligations  mentioned in Article 33 of the Convention, the purpose of
this  search  is  to  verify  the  validity  of  the relevant aircraft
documentation,  the  licensing  of  its  crew,  and  that the aircraft
equipment  and  the condition of the aircraft conform to the standards
established  at  that  time  pursuant to the Convention, provided this
does not cause unreasonable delay in the operation of the aircraft.
     5.  When an urgent action is essential to ensure the safety of an
airline  operation,  each  Contracting  Party  reserves  the  right to
immediately  suspend  the  operating  authorization  of  an airline or
airlines of the other Contracting Party.
     Any  action by one Contracting Party in accordance with paragraph
3  above  shall  be  discontinued once the basis of the taking of that
action ceases to exist.
