 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. It is recognised that if no such agreement can be reached prior to the expiry of such thirty days, the Contracting Party raising the objection to the rate may take such steps as it may consider necessary to prevent the inauguration or continuation of the service in question at the rate complained of. Advisory report. (h) When in any case under paragraph (f) and (g) above the aero- nautical authorities of the two Contracting Parties cannot agree within a reasonable time upon the appropriate rate after consultation initiated by the complaint of one Contracting Party concerning the proposed rate or an existing rate of the air carrier or carriers of the other Contracting Party, upon the request of either, both Contract- ing Parties shall submit the question to the Provisional International Civil Aviation Organization or to its successor for an advisory report, and each Party will use its best efforts under the powers available to it to put the opinion [1] expressed in such report. SECTION VI "Transshipment." (a) For the purpose of the present Section, the term "transship- ment" shall mean the transportation by the same carrier of traffic beyond a certain point on a given route by different aircraft from those employed on the earlier stages of the same route. (b) Transshipment when justified by economy of operation will be permitted at all points mentioned in the attached Schedules in terri- tory of the two Contracting Parties. (c) However, no transshipments will be made in the territory of either Contracting Party which would alter the long range character- istics of the operation or which would be inconsistent with the stand- ards set forth in this Agreement and its Annex and particularly Ante, p. 346. Section IV of this Annex. Changes In routes. Post, p. 3466. SECTION VII Changes made by either Contracting Party in the routes described in the Schedules attached except those which change the points served by these airlines in the territory of the other Contracting Party shall not be considered as modifications of the Annex. The aeronautical authorities of either Contracting Party may therefore proceed unilaterally to make such changes, provided, however, that notice of any change is given without delay to the aeronautical authorities of the other Contracting Party. I [By an exchange of notes dated Feb. 19 and Mar. 10, 1947, between the Ameri- can Embassy at Paris and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs it was agreed that the words "into effect" were omitted inadvertently and that "put the opinion" should read "put into effect the opinion".] 3462
