Article 13
                           Right of redress

     In  cases  where  an  operating  air carrier pays compensation or
meets  the other obligations incumbent on it under this Regulation, no
provision  of  this  Regulation  may be interpreted as restricting its
right  to  seek compensation from any person, including third parties,
in  accordance with the law applicable. In particular, this Regulation
shall  in  no  way  restrict the operating air carrier`s right to seek
reimbursement  from  a  tour  operator or another person with whom the
operating  air carrier has a contract. Similarly, no provision of this
Regulation  may  be  interpreted  as  restricting  the right of a tour
operator  or  a  third  party,  other  than  a passenger, with whom an
operating  air  carrier  has  a  contract,  to  seek  reimbursement or
compensation  from  the  operating  air  carrier  in  accordance  with
applicable relevant laws.
