Article 4

4.1 Purchasers of civil aircraft should be free to select suppliers on the basis of commercial and technological factors.

4.2 Signatories shall not require airlines, aircraft manufacturers, or other entities engaged in the purchase of civil aircraft, nor exert unreasonable pressure on them, to procure civil aircraft from any particular source, which would create discrimination against suppliers from any Signatory.

4.3 Signatories agree that the purchase of products covered by this Agreement should be made only on a competitive price, quality and delivery basis. In conjunction with the approval or awarding of procurement contracts for products covered by this Agreement a Signatory may, however, require that its qualified firms be provided with access to business opportunities on a competitive basis and on terms no less favourable than those available to the qualified firms of other Signatories.

1) Use of the phrase "access to business opportunities ... on terms no less favourable..." does not mean that the amount of contracts awarded to the qualified firms of one Signatory entitles the qualified firms of other Signatories to contracts of a similar amount.

4 Signatories agree to avoid attaching inducements of any kind to the sale or purchase of civil aircraft from any particular source which would create discrimination against suppliers from any Signatory.

Article 6

6.1 Signatories note that the provisions of the Agreement on Interpretation and Application of Articles VI, XVI and XXIII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures) apply to trade in civil aircraft. They affirm that in their participation in, or support of, civil aircraft programmes they shall seek to avoid adverse effects on trade in civil aircraft in the sense of Articles 8.3 and 8.4 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. They also shall take into account the special factors which apply in the aircraft sector, in particular the widespread governmental support in this area, their international economic interests, and the desire of producers of all Signatories to participate in the expansion of the world civil aircraft market.

6.2 Signatories agree that pricing of civil aircraft should be based on a reasonable expectation of recoupment of all costs, including nonrecurring programme costs, identifiable and pro-rated costs of military research and development on aircraft, components, and systems that are subsequently applied to the production of such civil aircraft, average production costs, and financial costs.

Agreement on trade in civil aircraft

Article 8

8.1 There shall be established a Committee on Trade in Civil Aircraft (hereinafter referred to as "the Committee") composed of representatives of all Signatories. The Committee shall elect its own Chairman. It shall meet as necessary, but not less than once a year, for the purpose of affording Signatories the opportunity to consult on any matters relating to the operation of this Agreement, including developments in the civil aircraft industry, to determine whether amendments are required to ensure continuance of free and undistorted trade, to examine any matter for which it has not been possible to find a satisfactory solution through bilateral consultations, and to carry out such responsibilities as are assigned to it under this Agreement, or by the Signatories.

8.2 The Committee shall review annually the implementation and operation of this Agreement taking into account the objectives thereof. The Committee shall annually inform the CONTRACTING PARTIES to the GATT of developments during the period covered by such review.

8.3 Not later than the end of the third year from the entry into force of this Agreement and periodically thereafter, Signatories shall undertake further negotiations, with a view to broadening and improving this Agreement on the basis of mutual reciprocity.

8.4 The Committee may establish such subsidiary bodies as may be appropriate to keep under regular review the application of this Agreement to ensure a continuing balance of mutual advantages. In particular, it shall establish an appropriate subsidiary body in order to ensure a continuing balance of mutual advantages, reciprocity and equivalent results with regard to the implementation of the provisions of Article 2 above related to product coverage, the end-use systems, customs duties and other charges.

8.5 Each Signatory shall afford sympathetic consideration to and adequate opportunity for prompt consultation regarding representations made by another Signatory with respect to any matter affecting the operation of this Agreement.

8.6 Signatories recognize the desirability of consultations with other Signatories in the Committee in order to seek a mutually acceptable solution prior to the initiation of an investigation to determine the existence, degree and effect of any alleged subsidy. In those exceptional circumstances in which no consultations occur before such domestic procedures are initiated, Signatories shall notify the Committee immediately of initiation of such procedures and enter into simultaneous consultations to seek a mutually agreed solution that would obviate the need for countervailing measures.

8.7 Should a Signatory consider that its trade interests in civil aircraft manufacture, repair, maintenance, rebuilding, modification or conversion have been or are likely to be adversely affected by any action by another Signatory, it may request review of the matter by the Committee. Upon such a request, the Committee shall convene within thirty days and shall review the matter as quickly as possible with a view to resolving the issues involved as promptly as possible and in particular prior to final resolution of these issues elsewhere. In this connexion the Committee may issue such rulings or recommendations as may be appropriate. Such review shall be without prejudice to the rights of Signatories under the GATT or under instruments multilaterally negotiated under the auspices of the GATT, as they affect trade in civil aircraft. For the purposes of aiding consideration of the issues involved, under the GATT and such instruments, the Committee may provide such technical assistance as may be appropriate.

8.8 Signatories agree that, with respect to any dispute related to a matter covered by this Agreement, but not covered by other instruments multilaterally negotiated under the auspices of the GATT, the provisions of Articles XXII and XXIII of the General Agreement and the provisions of the Understanding related to Notification, Consultation, Dispute Settlement and Surveillance shall be applied, mutatis mutandis, by the Signatories and the Committee for the purposes of seeking settlement of such dispute. These procedures shall also be applied for the settlement of any dispute related to a matter covered by this Agreement and by another instrument multilaterally negotiated under the auspices of the GATT, should the parties to the dispute so agree.

1.2 Voor de toepassing van deze Overeenkomst wordt onder „burgerluchtvaartuigen" verstaan:

a) alle andere luchtvaartuigen dan militaire, en

b) alle overige in artikel 1, eerste lid, genoemde produkten.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 2

2.1 De Ondertekenaars komen overeen:

2.1.1. op 1 januari 1980 of op de datum van inwerkingtreding van deze Overeenkomst alle douanerechten en andere heffingen

1) De uitdrukking „andere heffingen" heeft in dit geval dezelfde betekenis als in artikel II van de GATT.

van welke aard ook, die van toepassing zijn bij of in verband met de invoer van de produkten die zijn ingedeeld onder de onderscheiden in de Bijlage opgenomen douanetariefposten, af te schaffen, indien deze produkten bestemd zijn om bij de vervaardiging, de reparatie, het onderhoud, de gedeeltelijke vernieuwing, de wijziging of de verbouwing van burgerluchtvaartuigen te worden gebruikt en daarin te worden aangebracht;

2.1.2. op 1 januari 1980 of op de datum van inwerkingtreding van deze Overeenkomst alle douanerechten en andere heffingen

1) De uitdrukking „andere heffingen" heeft in dit geval dezelfde betekenis als in artikel II van de GATT.

van welke aard ook, die op reparaties van burgerluchtvaartuigen van toepassing zijn, af te schaffen;

2.1.3. op 1 januari 1980 of op de datum van inwerkingtreding van de Overeenkomst in hun lijsten bij de Algemene Overeenkomst op te nemen dat alle produkten, bedoeld in artikel 2, eerste lid, punt 1, en alle herstellingen, bedoeld in artikel 2, eerste lid, punt 2, bij invoer vrij zijn van rechten of daarvan worden vrijgesteld.

2.2 Iedere Ondertekenaar

b) ziet erop toe dat zijn op de eindbestemming gebaseerde systeem een regeling inzake invoer met vrijdom of vrijstelling van rechten omvat, die vergelijkbaar is met de regeling die de andere Ondertekenaars hebben ingesteld en die geen belemmering voor de handel vormt;

c) stelt de andere Ondertekenaars in kennis van de administratieve bepalingen van zijn op de eindbestemming gebaseerde systeem.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 3

3.1 De Ondertekenaars nemen er nota van dat de bepalingen van de Overeenkomst inzake technische handelsbelemmeringen van toepassing zijn op de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen. Voorts zijn de Ondertekenaars overeengekomen dat ten aanzien van de voorschriften inzake certificering van burgerluchtvaartuigen en de specificaties met betrekking tot de bedienings- en onderhoudsprocedures van deze luchtvaartuigen de bepalingen van de Overeenkomst inzake technische handelsbelemmeringen van toepassing zijn tussen de Ondertekenaars.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 4

4.1 De kopers van burgerluchtvaartuigen dienen hun leveranciers vrij te kunnen kiezen op grond van commerciële en technologische overwegingen.

4.2 De Ondertekenaars zullen de luchtvaartmaatschappijen, fabrikanten van luchtvaartuigen of andere bij de aankoop van burgerluchtvaartuigen betrokken partijen niet verplichten, noch onredelijke druk op hen uitoefenen, om burgerluchtvaartuigen van bepaalde oorsprong aan te kopen, waardoor discriminatie zou ontstaan ten opzichte van de leveranciers van een Ondertekenaar.

4.3 De Ondertekenaars komen overeen dat de aankoop van onder deze Overeenkomst vallende produkten uitsluitend op concurrentieoverwegingen met betrekking tot prijs, kwaliteit en leveringstermijn gebaseerd mag zijn. Een Ondertekenaar kan evenwel ten aanzien van de goedkeuring of toewijzing van opdrachten met betrekking tot produkten die onder de Overeenkomst vallen, verlangen dat zijn daartoe gerechtigde ondernemingen concurrerend kunnen mededingen op even gunstige voorwaarden als die welke aan daartoe gerechtigde ondernemingen van andere Ondertekenaars worden toegestaan

1) Het gebruik van de uitdrukking „kunnen mededingen op even gunstige voorwaarden" betekent niet dat het aantal contracten dat aan de daartoe gerechtigde ondernemingen van een Ondertekenaar wordt toegewezen, de overeenkomstige ondernemingen van andere Ondertekenaars recht geeft op een zelfde aantal contracten.

.

4.4 De Ondertekenaars komen overeen, zich te onthouden van overredingspogingen van welke aard ook ten aanzien van de verkoop of de aankoop van burgerluchtvaartuigen van bepaalde oorsprong, die zouden leiden tot discriminatie ten nadele van leveranciers van enige Ondertekenaar.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 5

5.1 De Ondertekenaars passen geen kwantitatieve beperkingen (invoercontingenten) of maatregelen inzake invoervergunningen toe, waardoor de invoer van burgerluchtvaartuigen wordt beperkt op een wijze die niet in overeenstemming is met de bepalingen van de GATT. Deze bepaling sluit niet de toepassing uit van maatregelen inzake invoercontrole of invoervergunningen in overeenstemming met de voorschriften van de GATT.

5.2 De Ondertekenaars passen geen kwantitatieve beperkingen, systemen van exportvergunningen of andere soortgelijke maatregelen toe, waardoor de uitvoer van burgerluchtvaartuigen naar andere Ondertekenaars om commerciële redenen of uit concurrentieoverwegingen wordt beperkt op een wijze die niet in overeenstemming is met de geldende bepalingen van de GATT.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 6

6.1 De Ondertekenaars nemen er nota van dat de bepalingen van de Overeenkomst inzake de uitleg en de toepassing van de artikelen VI, XVI en XXIII van de Algemene Overeenkomst inzake Tarieven en Handel (Overeenkomst betreffende subsidies en compenserende maatregelen) van toepassing zijn op de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen. Zij bevestigen dat zij bij hun deelneming of steun aan programma's inzake burgerluchtvaartuigen eventueel nadelige gevolgen voor de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen in de zin van artikel 8, derde en vierde lid, van de Overeenkomst betreffende subsidies en compenserende maatregelen zullen trachten te voorkomen.

Zij houden eveneens rekening met speciale factoren in de Iuchtvaartsector, in het bijzonder de uitgebreide overheidssteun in deze sector, hun internationale economische belangen en de wens van de producenten van alle Ondertekenaars om deel te nemen aan de uitbreiding van de wereldmarkt voor vliegtuigen voor de burgerluchtvaart.

6.2 De Ondertekenaars komen overeen dat de prijs van burgerluchtvaartuigen zodanig dient te worden vastgesteld, dat er redelijke vooruitzichten op dekking van alle kosten bestaan, met inbegrip van de eenmalige programmakosten en de aanwijsbare en naar rato omgeslagen kosten van militaire research- en ontwikkelingswerk inzake luchtvaartuigen, onderdelen en systemen die vervolgens toepassing vinden bij de produktie van burgerluchtvaartuigen, alsmede de gemiddelde produktiekosten en de financiële kosten.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 7

7.1 Behalve andere uit deze Overeenkomst voortvloeiende verplichtingen komen de Ondertekenaars overeen de regionale en plaatselijke overheid en autoriteiten, de niet-gouvernementele of andere instellingen niet te verplichten of aan te moedigen, direct of indirect, maatregelen te nemen die onverenigbaar zijn met de bepalingen van deze Overeenkomst.

Overeenkomst inzake de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen

Artikel 8

8.1 Er wordt een Comité voor de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen (hierna „het Comité" genoemd) ingesteld, bestaande uit vertegenwoordigers van alle Ondertekenaars. Het Comité kiest zijn eigen Voorzitter. Het Comité komt zo dikwijls als noodzakelijk is bijeen, doch ten minste éénmaal per jaar, ten einde de Ondertekenaars in de gelegenheid te stellen overleg te plegen over alle vraagstukken met betrekking tot de toepassing van deze Overeenkomst, met inbegrip van de ontwikkelingen van de burgerluchtvaartindustrie, na te gaan of wijzigingen noodzakelijk zijn ter verzekering van een vrij en ongestoord handelsverkeer, alle vraagstukken te behandelen waarvoor door middel van bilateraal overleg geen bevredigende oplossing is gevonden, en de taken uit te voeren die haar ingevolge deze Overeenkomst of door de Ondertekenaars kunnen worden opgedragen.

8.2 Het Comité stelt ieder jaar een onderzoek in naar de uitvoering en de toepassing van deze Overeenkomst, zulks met inachtneming van de beoogde doeleinden. Het Comité stelt de Verdragsluitende Partijen van de GATT ieder jaar in kennis van de ontwikkelingen die zich hebben voorgedaan tijdens de periode waarop het onderzoek betrekking heeft.

8.3 Uiterlijk na afloop van het derde jaar, te rekenen vanaf de inwerkingtreding van deze Overeenkomst, en vervolgens op gezette tijden, vinden tussen de Ondertekenaars nieuwe onderhandelingen plaats ter uitbreiding en verbetering van deze Overeenkomst op basis van wederkerigheid.

8.4 Het Comité kan in voorkomende gevallen ondergeschikte organen instellen om regelmatig toezicht op de toepassing van deze Overeenkomst uit te oefenen ten einde ervoor te zorgen dat de wederzijdse voordelen voortdurend in evenwicht zijn. In het bijzonder wordt een passend ondergeschikt orgaan ingesteld om erop toe te zien dat de wederzijdse voordelen, de reciprociteit en de gelijkwaardigheid van de resultaten bij de uitvoering van de bepalingen van artikel 2 met betrekking tot de produkten, de op de eindbestemming gebaseerde systemen, de douanerechten en andere heffingen voortdurend in evenwicht zijn.

8.5 Iedere Ondertekenaar neemt de bezwaren van andere Ondertekenaars inzake elk vraagstuk met betrekking tot de toepassing van deze Overeenkomst welwillend in overweging en verschaft hun voldoende gelegenheid tot onverwijld overleg hierover.

8.6 De Ondertekenaars erkennen dat het wenselijk is in het Comité overleg te plegen met de andere Ondertekenaars, ten einde een wederzijds aanvaardbare oplossing te vinden, voordat een onderzoek wordt ingesteld naar het bestaan, de aard en de gevolgen van elke vermeende subsidie. In die uitzonderlijke gevallen waarin geen overleg plaatsvindt alvorens een dergelijke interne procedure op gang wordt gebracht, stellen de Ondertekenaars het Comité hiervan onmiddellijk in kennis en plegen zij tegelijkertijd overleg om een wederzijds aanvaardbare oplossing te vinden die compenserende maatregelen overbodig maakt.

8.7 Iedere Ondertekenaar die van mening is dat zijn commerciële belangen bij de vervaardiging, de reparatie, het onderhoud, de gedeeltelijke vernieuwing, de wijziging of de verbouwing van burgerluchtvaartuigen zijn of dreigen te worden geschaad door een maatregel van een andere Ondertekenaar, kan het Comité verzoeken het vraagstuk te behandelen. Na ontvangst van een dergelijk verzoek komt het Comité binnen dertig dagen bijeen en behandelt het vraagstuk zo spoedig mogelijk ten einde zo snel mogelijk een oplossing voor de problemen te vinden, in het bijzonder voordat hiervoor elders een definitieve oplossing is gevonden. Het Comité kan daartoe de nodige besluiten nemen of de nodige aanbevelingen doen. Deze behandeling doet geen afbreuk aan de rechten van de Ondertekenaars, voortvloeiend uit de Algemene Overeenkomst of uit de onder auspiciën van de GATT gesloten multilaterale akkoorden, voor zover deze betrekking hebben op de handel in burgerluchtvaartuigen. Ten einde de behandeling van de problemen die zich in het kader van de Algemene Overeenkomst en van de bovengenoemde akkoorden voordoen, te bevorderen, kan het Comité passende technische bijstand verlenen.

8.8 De Ondertekenaars komen overeen dat met betrekking tot elk geschil inzake een aangelegenheid waarop deze Overeenkomst, doch geen andere, onder de auspiciën van de GATT gesloten, multilaterale akkoorden van toepassing is, de Ondertekenaars en het Comité mutatis mutandis de bepalingen van de artikelen XXII en XXIII van de Algemene Overeenkomst en van de Verklaring van Intentie betreffende de kennisgeving, het overleg, de beslechting van geschillen en het toezicht zullen toepassen, ten einde dit geschil te beslechten.

Indien de partijen bij het geschil zulks overeenkomen, worden deze procedures eveneens toegepast om een geschil te beslechten met betrekking tot een aangelegenheid waarop deze Overeenkomst en enig ander multilateraal, onder auspiciën van de GATT gesloten, akkoord van toepassing is.
