FORE WORD Introduction This document contains Standards and Recommended Practices adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organi- zation pursuant to the provisions of Article 37 of the Convention on Interna- tional Civil Aviation Chicago 1944. Standards and Recommended Practices on Facilitation were first adopted by the Council on 25 March 1949, and desig- nated as Annex 9 to the Convention. Prior to the Annex becoming effective on 1 Sep- tember 1949, it was submitted to each Contracting State together with a copy of the Resolution of Adoption for the pur- pose of notification of any disapproval, in whole or in part, under Article 90 of the Convention. These Standards and Recom- mended Practices came into force on 1 March 1950. Amendment No. 1, which is incor- porated in the present second edition, was adopted by the Council on 7 Novem- ber 1952, became effectivs on 1 March 1953, and comes into force on 1 July 1953. The procedure for notification of disap- provals by States has been followed with respect to this amendment. The present second edition therefore gives the text of Annex 9 in force from 1 July 1953. J The Standards and Recommended Practices as now presented have under- gone the following stages of development. In February 1946 the FAL Division, at its first session iff Montreal, made recom- mendations for Standards and Recom- mended Practices on Facilitation. These were further developed at the second ses-
Annex 9-Facilitation sion of the Division in June 1948 at Geneva, and after a review by the Air Transport Committee were adopted by the Council in March 1949 as Annex 9 to the Convention. At its third session, in December 1951 in Buenos Aires, the Di- vision made proposals for the amendment of Annex 9. After review by the Air Trans- port Committee these proposals were cir- dated to States for comment. In the light of the replies received from States further development was undertaken by the Air Transport Committee, and the resulting proposals were adopted by the Council in November 1952 as Amendment No. 1 to the Annex. . The FAL Standards and Recom- mended Practices are the outcome of Article 37 of the Convention, which pro- vides inter alia that the "International Civil Aviation Organization shall adopt and amend from time to time, as may be necessary, international standards and recommended practices and procedures dealing with. . . customs and immigration procedures . . . and such other matters concerned with the safety, regularity and efficiency of air navigation as may from time to time appear appropriate". The policy with respect to the implementation by States of the FAL Standards and Recommended Practices is strengthened by Article 22 of the Convention, which ex- presses the obligation accepted by each Contracting State "to adopt a11 practic- able measures, through the issuance of special regulations or otherwise, to facili- tate apd expedite navigation by aircraft between the territories of Contracting States, and to prevent unnecessary delays to aircraft, crews, passengers, and cargo, especially in the administration of the laws relating to immigration, quarantine, customs and clearance", and by Article 23 of the Convention, which expresses the undertaking , of each Contracting State "so far as it may find practicable, to estab- lish customs and immigration procedures affecting international air navigation in accordance with the practices which may be established or recommended from time to time pursuant to this Convention". A number of other articles of the Con- vention have special pertinence to the provisions of the FAL Annex and have been taken into account in its preparation. In particular, persons responsible for the implementation of the provisions of this Annex should be familiar with the follow- ing articles in addition to Articles 22 and 23 Article 10, Landing at Customs Airport The FAL Standards and Recom- mended Practices inevitably take two forms first, a "negative" form, e.g., that States shall not impose more.than certain maximum requirements in the way of paper work, restrictions of freedom of movement, etc., and second, a "positive" form, e.g., that States shall provide cer- tain minimum facilities for passenger con- venience, for traffic which is merely pass- ing through, etc. Whenever a question arises under a "negative" provision, it is assumed that States will, wherever pos- sible, relax their requirements below the maximum provided in the Standards and Recommended Practices. Wherever there is a "positive" provision, it is assumed that States will, wherever possible, furnish more than the minimum provided in the Standards and Recommended Practices. Definitions The Council has promulgated the following definitions of the terms "Stand- ard" and "Recommended Practice" which are applicable to this Annex Standard Any specification, the uni- form observance of which has been recognized as practicable and as neces- sary to facilitate and improve some as- pect of international air navigation, which has been adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 541 of the Con- vention, and in respect of which non- compliance must be notified by States to the Council in accordance with Article 38 Recommended Practice Any specifica- tion, the observance of which has been recognized as generally practicable and as highly desirable to facilitate and im- prove some aspect of international air navigation, which has been adopted by the Council pursuant to Article 541 of the Convention, and to which Con- tracting States will endeavour to con- form in accordance with the Conven- tion. Notes which do not alter the meaning of the Standards and Recommended Prac- Article 11, Applicability of Air Regula- tions Article 13, Entry and Clearance Regula- tions Article 14, Prevention of Spread of Diseases Article 16, Search of Aircraft Article 24, Customs Duty Article 29, Documents Carried in Air- craft. ties have been included in certain cases where it was necessary to clarify an inten- tion, to stress a particular point or to indi- cate that a particular question is under study. Implementation of Annex It is expected that by 1 July 1953, the date of implementation of the Annex including Amendment No. 1, States will have introduced its provisions into their national usages. The following Resolution adopted by the Council on 13 April 1948 urges Contracting States to use in their own regulations, as far as practicable, the precise language of those ICAO Standards that are of a regulatory character WHEREAS many of the benefits of international standardization of prac- tices and of regulatory requirements may be lost through diversity of form and arrangement in the publications through which they are promulgated in the various States and WHEREAS it is desirable that those engaged in international air navigation should be freed to the greatest possible extent from the necessity of detailed examination of national laws and regulations upon crossing international boundaries I THE COUNCIL RESOLVES THAT 1 Contracting States be, and they are hereby urged, in complying with ICAO Standards which are of a regu- latory character, to introduce the text of such Standards into their national regu- lations, as nearly as possible. in the wording and arrangement employed by I CAO 2 where a Contracting State finds it necessary to depart from the ICAO text, it limits such departure to an absolute minimum 3 in any regulations or other publi- cations based upon ICAO Standards or other recommendations, Contracting States indicate conspicuously their re- lationship to the ICAO text and the ex- tent and substantive effect of any differ- ences between the national text and its ICAO prototype.
