Ratificira se Sporazum med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Ljudske Republike Kitajske o trgovinskem in gospodarskem sodelovanju, podpisan v Pekingu dne 9. novembra 1992.

Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi: Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Ljudske Republike Kitajske (v nadaljevanju »pogodbenici«) sta se v želji, da krepita prijateljstvo in sodelovanje in razvijata trgovinske in gospodarske stike med državama na načelih enakopravnosti in obojestranske koristi, sporazumeli o naslednjem:

Pogodbenici bosta sprejeli vse potrebne ukrepe za pospeševanje razvoja trgovinskih in gospodarskih stikov med državama in ustvarili ugodne pogoje v ta namen.

Pogodbenici si bosta vzajemno priznavali tretma države z največjimi ugodnostmi v zvezi s carinami in drugimi dajatvami ter predpisi v zvezi s carinskimi formalnostmi in carinjenjem. To določilo pa ne velja za: 1) ugodnosti, ki jih je ali jih bo ena ali druga pogodbenica dala sosednjim državam, z namenom, da se olajša obmejna trgovina; 2) ugodnosti, ki jih je ali jih bo ena ali druga pogodbenica dodelila državam članicam carinske unije in proste trgovinske cone.

Pogodbenici bosta po določilih tega sporazuma in v skladu s svojo zakonodajo in veljavnimi predpisi spodbujali in ščitili naložbe vlagateljev ene pogodbenice na ozemlju druge pogodbenice.

Pogodbenici bosta v skladu s svojo zakonodajo in veljavnimi predpisi spodbujali podjetja in organizacije iz obeh držav, da bodo razvijale raznovrstno gospodarsko sodelovanje in ustvarjale ugodne razmere v ta namen.

Podjetja in organizacije obeh držav, ki se ukvarjajo z zunanjo trgovino in gospodarskimi dejavnostmi, se morajo pri sklepanju in izvajanju pogodb ravnati po veljavnih zakonih in predpisih svojih držav in po mednarodnih trgovinskih uzancah.

Cene blaga in storitev se določajo na podlagi svetovnih cen za podobno blago in storitve. Plačila za blago se opravljajo v prosto zamenljivi valuti ali v drugi obliki, ki jo pogodbenici sprejmeta v skladu z obstoječo devizno zakonodajo in predpisi svojih držav. Obračuni po tem sporazumu se lahko realizirajo na kakršen koli v mednarodni bančni praksi uveljavljeni način na podlagi sporazuma med zainteresiranimi podjetji ob upoštevanju pravne ureditve podpisnic.

Pogodbenici si bosta medsebojno pomagali pri organizaciji sejmov, razstav, gospodarskih in tehničnih simpozijev in izmenjavi trgovinskih delegacij in skupin vsaka na svojem ozemlju.

Vsaka od pogodbenic bo v skladu s svojo zakonodajo in predpisi dovoljevala podjetjem in organizacijam druge pogodbenice, ki se ukvarjajo s trgovino in gospodarskimi dejavnostmi med državama, da ustanavljajo stalna predstavništva, ter zagotovila ustrezne razmere za njihovo normalno delovanje na njenem ozemlju.

Podpisnici bosta z vidika razvoja gospodarskega sodelovanja podpirali medsebojno izmenjavo informacij, zlasti o svoji zakonodajni ureditvi in programih z gospodarskega področja ter drugih informacij, zanimivih za pogodbenici.

1. Pogodbenici se strinjata, da ustanovita skupno komisijo za trgovinsko in gospodarsko sodelovanje, ki jo bodo sestavljali predstavniki obeh vlad. Predsednika skupne komisije morata biti vsaj na ravni vodje sektorja ministrstva, pristojnega za gospodarsko in trgovinsko sodelovanje s tujino. 2. Naloge komisije so: – pospeševanje medsebojnega sodelovanja, – preverjanje uresničevanja tega sporazuma, – premagovanje težav, do katerih bi lahko prišlo pri trgovinskem in gospodarskem sodelovanju med državama, – zagotavljanje izmenjave informacij o spremembah predpisov v državah podpisnicah, – dajanje predlogov s ciljem pospeševanja razvoja dvostranskega trgovinskega in gospodarskega sodelovanja in seznanjanje vlad obeh držav s temi predlogi. 3. Skupna komisija se bo sestajala letno, izmenično v Pekingu in Ljubljani, v skladu z dogovorom med pogodbenicama.

Ta sporazum začne veljati 30 dni od datuma, ko sta se pogodbenici medsebojno obvestili, da sta opravili ustrezen zakonsko določen postopek v svoji državi, in velja pet let. Vsako leto se bo avtomatično obnovil, če nobena od pogodbenic najmanj šest mesecev pred prenehanjem njegove veljavnosti pisno ne obvesti druge pogodbenice o razveljavitvi sporazuma. Ob prenehanju veljavnosti tega sporazuma se bodo še naprej uporabljala njegova določila za vse pogodbe, ki so bile sklenjene med veljavnostjo sporazuma, dokler ne bodo v celoti izpolnjene.

Ta sporazum je sklenjen dne 9. novembra 1992, v dveh izvirnikih v slovenskem, kitajskem in angleškem jeziku, pri čemer so vsa tri besedila enako verodostojna. Ob različnem tolmačenju in uresničevanju tega sporazuma še uporablja angleško besedilo. Za Vlado Republike Slovenije mag. Vojka Ravbar l. r. Za Vlado Ljudske Republike Kitajske Gu Yongjiang l. r.
