Annex 3 — Principles of Non-Discrimination Within and Competition among Computer Reservation Systems Verdrag inzake luchtvervoer tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden, ten behoeve van Aruba, en de Republiek Panama

Principles of Non-Discrimination Within and Competition among Computer Reservation Systems

1. CRSs will have integrated primary displays for which:

a) Information regarding international air services, including the construction of connections on those services, shall be edited and displayed on the basis of non-discriminatory and objective criteria that are not influenced, directly or indirectly, by airline or route identity. Such criteria shall apply uniformly to all participating airlines.

b) CRS data bases shall be as comprehensive as possible.

c) CRS vendors shall not delete information submitted by participating airlines; such information shall be accurate and transparent; for example, code-shared and change-of-gauge flights and flights with stops shall be clearly identified as having those characteristics.

d) All CRSs that are available to travel agents who directly distribute information about airline services to the travelling public in the territory of either Party shall not only be obliged to, but shall also be entitled to, operate in conformity with the CRS rules that apply in the territory where the CRS is being operated.

e) Travel agents shall be allowed to use any of the secondary displays available through the CRS so long as the travel agent makes a specific request for a given display.

2. Each Party shall require that each CRS vendor operating in its territory allow all airlines willing to pay any applicable non-discriminatory fee to participate in its CRS. Each Party shall require that all distribution facilities which a system vendor provides shall be offered on a non-discriminatory basis to participating airlines. Each Party shall require that CRS vendors display, on a non-discriminatory, objective, carrier-neutral and route-neutral basis, the international air services of participating airlines on all routes on which they wish to sell those services. Upon request, a CRS vendor shall disclose details of its data base update and storage procedures, its criteria for editing and ranking information, the weight given to each of these criteria, and the criteria used for selection of connect points and inclusion of connecting flights.

3. CRS vendors operating in the territory of one Party shall be entitled to bring in and maintain their CRSs and make them freely available to travel agencies or travel companies whose principal business is the distribution of travel services in the territory of the other Party if the CRS complies with these principles.

4. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more stringent requirements with respect to access to and use of communication facilities, selection and use of CRS hardware and software, and the technical installation of CRS hardware, than those imposed on its own CRS vendors.

5. Neither Party shall, in its territory, impose or permit to be imposed on the CRS vendors of the other Party more stringent requirements with respect to CRS displays (including edit and display parameters), operation or sale than those imposed on its own CRS vendors.

6. CRSs in use in the territory of one Party that comply with these principles and other relevant non-discriminatory regulatory, technical and security standards shall be entitled to effective and unimpaired access to the territory of the other Party. One aspect of this is that a designated airline shall participate in such a system as fully in its homeland territory as it does in any system offered to travel agents in the territory of the other Party. Owners/operators of CRSs shall have the same opportunity to own/operate CRSs that conform to these principles within the territory of the other Party as do owners/operators of that Party. Each Party shall ensure that its airlines and its CRS vendors do not discriminate against travel agents in their homeland territory because of their use or possession of a CRS also operated in the territory of the other Party.
