For the Government of the Republic of Slovenia Lojze Peterle, (s) For the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium Willy Claes, (s) Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Kraljevine Belgije, v nadaljnjem besedilu pogodbenici, sta v želji, da bi v interesu krepitve trgovinskih odnosov med državama in razvijanja zadovoljivih možnosti za cestni prevoz blaga in potnikov; z upoštevanjem evropskega liberalizacijskega procesa, ki prispeva k prostemu pretoku blaga in storitev ter svobodnemu gibanju ljudi; pri čemer sta upoštevali tudi varovanje okolja in varnost prometa, sklenili naslednje:

1. Določbe tega sporazuma bodo veljale za cestni prevoz blaga in potnikov za plačilo, najem ali za lastni račun med ozemljema pogodbenic, tranzitno čez njuni ozemlji, v ali iz tretjih držav, s prevozniki, ustanovljenimi na ozemlju ene od pogodbenic. 2. Pogodbenici bosta zagotovili pravice in obveznosti iz sporazumov, sklenjenih med Evropsko skupnostjo in Republiko Slovenijo ter drugih večstranskih sporazumov, ki sta jih sklenili pogodbenici.

V tem sporazumu posamezni izrazi pomenijo naslednje: 1. “Prevoznik” je oseba (vključno s pravno osebo), ki je bila ustanovljena na ozemlju pogodbenice in v državi svojega sedeža lahko opravlja cestni prevoz blaga ali potnikov za najem, plačilo ali za lastni račun, v skladu z veljavnimi državnimi zakoni in predpisi. 2. “Vozilo” je motorno vozilo, registrirano na ozemlju pogodbenice, ali skupina vozil, od katerih je vsaj motorno vozilo registrirano na ozemlju pogodbenice in ki se uporablja ter je opremljeno izključno za prevoz blga ali potnikov. 3. “Avtobus” je vozilo za prevoz potnikov, načrtovano in opremljeno tako, da lahko prevaža več kot devet oseb, vključno z voznikom in se uporablja v ta namen. 4. “Prevoz” je potovanje natovorjenih ali raztovorjenih vozil po cesti, tudi če vozilo, prikolica ali polprikolica na določenem odseku potovanja potuje po železnici ali po vodi. 5. “Redni avtobusni promet” je storitev, ki obsega prevoz potnikov v določenih presledkih na določenih progah, s tem da potniki vstopajo in izstopajo na vnaprej določenih mestih za zaustavljanje. Ta promet mora biti na voljo vsem, pri čemer je po potrebi treba narediti obvezno rezervacijo. “Posebni redni avtobusni promet” je redni avtobusni promet samo za določeno vrsto potnikov. 6. “Promet na stalni progi tja in nazaj” je storitev, ki obsega prevoz potnikov v določenih presledkih v obe smeri z enega samega mesta odhoda na eno samo mesto prihoda. Te skupine, ki jih sestavljajo potniki z že opravljenim potovanjem na cilj, se vrnejo na mesto odhoda v eni od nadaljnjih voženj. “Mesto odhoda” in “mesto prihoda” sta mesti, kjer se potovanje prične in konča, pri čemer ti lokaciji vključujeta tudi mesta v oddaljenosti do 50 km. “Promet na stalni progi tja in nazaj s prenočevanjem” je poleg prevoza tudi namestitev za vsaj 80% potnikov, z ali brez hrane, na mestu prihoda in, po potrebi, med potovanjem. Potniki morajo ostati na mestu prihoda vsaj dve noči. Promet na stalni progi tja in nazaj s prenočevanjem lahko nudi skupina prevoznikov, ki delajo za istega delodajalca, in potniki lahko: – potujejo nazaj s prevoznikom iz iste skupine, ki ni isti kot na progi tja, – ali se “na poti” odločijo za drugega prevoznika iz iste skupine. 7. “Občasni prevoz” je prevoz, ki ne spada niti v definicijo rednega avtobusnega prometa ali posebnega rednega avtobusnega prometa niti v definicijo prometa na stalni progi tja in nazaj. V to storitev spadajo: a) krožna potovanja z istim vozilom, ki prevažajo eno ali več skupin potnikov in je vsaka skupina tudi pripeljana nazaj na mesto odhoda, in b) prevozne storitve za skupine potnikov, ki niso pripeljani nazaj na mesto odhoda v času istega potovanja, ter c) prevozne storitve, ki so izven zgoraj navedenih kriterijev, ali tako imenovane preostale storitve.

Vsaka pogodbenica bo prevozniku s sedežem na ozemlju druge pogodbenice dovolila prevoz blaga ali potnikov: a) med katerim koli krajem na njenem ozemlju in katerim koli krajem zunaj tega ozemlja in b) tranzitno čez njeno ozemlje, če ima dovolilnico ali dovoljenje za takšno storitev, ki ga izdajo pristojni organi vsake pogodbenice.

1. Teže in velikosti vozil morajo biti v skladu z uradno registracijo vozila in ne smejo preseči veljavnih omejitev, ki veljajo v državi. 2. Če teža in/ali velikost natovorjenega ali raztovorjenega vozila, uporabljenega za prevoz v skladu z določili tega sporazuma, preseže dovoljeno omejitev na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, je potrebna posebna dovolilnica prisotjnih organov.

Prevozniki ene podpisnice in posadke njihovih vozil morajo, ko so na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, spoštovati veljavne predpise in zakone te države.

Če prevozniki ene ali druge pogodbenice kršijo določila tega sporazuma, bo podpisnica, na katere ozemlju je bila storjena kršitev, brez škode za svoje lastne pravne postopke, uradno opozorila drugo podpisnico, ki bo ukrepala v skladu s svojimi državnimi zakoni vključno z razveljavitvijo dovolilnice ali dovoljenja ali prepovedjo prevozov na ozemlju druge pogodbenice. Pogodbenici bosta obvestili druga drugo o sprejetih sankcijah.

1. Vozila, vključno z njihovimi rezervnimi deli, ki opravljajo prevoze v skladu s tem sporazumom, bodo vzajemno oproščena plačila vseh davkov in pristojbin na promet ali posest vozil. 2. Vozila ne bodo oproščena davkov na motorna goriva, davka na dodano vrednost prevoznih storitev in cestnin ter davkov za posebne dovolilnice, kot so predvidene v 4. členu. 3. Goriva v običajnih rezervoarjih vozila ter maziva, ki so v vozilu in služijo edino za delovanje vozil, bodo vzajemno oproščena carinskih in drugih dajatev ter plačil.

1. Pristojni organi obeh pogodbenic bodo usklajevali vsa vprašanja glede uresničevanja in uporabe tega sporazuma. 2. V skladu s tem bosta pogodbenici ustanovili mešano komisijo. 3. Mešana komisija se bo redno sestajala na zahtevo ene ali druge podpisnice in jo bodo sestavljali predstavniki pristojnih organov pogodbenic, ki bodo lahko povabili predstavnike združenj cestnih prevoznikov. 4. Mešana komisija bo sama določila svoja pravila in postopke in se bo sestajala izmenično na ozemlju ene ali druge pogodbenice. Sestanki se bodo zaključevali s protokolom. 5. V skladu s 3. členom, bo mešana komisija odločala o vrsti in številu dovolilnic ali dovoljenj ter o pogojih nastopa na trgu. Ne glede na drugi odstavek 12. člena lahko mešana komisija razširi seznam tistih vrst prevoza, za katere dovolilnica ali dovoljenja niso potrebna. 6. Mešana komisija si bo zlasti prizadevala za: – usklajen razvoj prometa med državama pogodbenic ob hkratnem upoštevanju, med drugim tudi ekoloških vidikov; – koordinacijo med strategijami cestnega prevoza, prevozno zakonodajo in njenim uresničevanjem s strani pogodbenic tako na državni kot na mednarodni ravni; – možne rešitve, ki naj jih sprejmejo ustrezni državni organi, če nastopijo problemi, zlasti davčni, družbeni, carinski in ekološki, vključno z motnjami javnega reda; – izmenjavo ustreznih informacij; – metodologijo določanja teže in velikosti; – pospeševanje sodelovanja med prevoznimi podjetji in ustanovami; – pospeševanje kombiniranega prevoza, vključno z vprašanji prodora na trg.

1. Vloge za odobritev rednih prevozov obravnavajo pristojni organi države, na ozemlju katere se nahaja mesto odhoda. 2. Organi obeh podpisnic skupaj sprejmejo odločitev o izdaji dovoljenj, nato pa jih izdajo vsak za svoje ozemlje. 3. Vloga za dovoljenje bo med drugim zavrnjena, če: – prosilec ni sposoben nuditi storitve, navedene v vlogi, z opremo, s katero neposredno razpolaga: – v preteklosti prosilec ni upošteval državne ali mednarodne zakonodaje o cestnem prometu in še posebno pogojev in zahtev v zvezi z dovoljenji za mednarodni cestni prevoz potnikov ali je odgovoren za resne kršitve cestno varnostnih zakonov, zlasti pravil, ki veljajo za vozila in vožnjo ter čas počitka voznika: – pri vlogi za obnovitev dovoljenja, pogoji za izstavitev dovoljenja niso bili upoštevani. 4. Odločitev o tem, ali bo dovoljenje izstavljeno, sprejmejo pristojni organi v treh mesecih od dneva, ko so prejeli popolno vlogo. 5. Dovoljenje bo veljalo za največ tri leta in bo na zahtevo podaljšano. 6. Dovoljenje ali njegova pravnomočna kopija mora biti vedno v vozilu.

1. Za promet na stalni progi tja in nazaj s prenočitvijo, ki ga opravljajo slovenski ali belgijski prevozniki, ni potrebno dovoljenje, če je mesto odhoda v Sloveniji ali Belgiji. 2. Promet na stalni progi tja in nazaj brez prenočitve se obravnava kot redni promet. 3. Pri prometu, ki je navaden v prvem odstavku tega člena, se morajo uporabljati v celoti izpolnjeni seznami potnikov.

Za občasni prevoz dovoljenje ni potrebno. V vozilu mora biti v celoti izpolnjen seznam potnikov.

1. Dovolilnice za prevoz blaga se izstavijo za vsako posamezno

(1)potovanje (v obe smeri) in veljajo 13 mesecev, šteto od 1. januarja koledarskega leta. Dovolilnice morajo biti v vozilu. 2. Dovolilnice ali dovoljenja niso potrebna za naslednje vrste prevozov ali za vožnje praznih vozil v zvezi s prevozi: a) osebnih predmetov pri selitvah gospodinjstev; b) materiala, predmetov, umetniških del za dražbe, razstave ali nekomercialne opreme na ozemlju druge pogodbenice; c) materiala in opreme, ki je namenjena izključno reklami, izobraževanju in informiranju; d) odrske opreme in rekvizitov ter živali za gledališče, glasbene predstave, profesionalne filmske ali športne prireditve, cirkusa, sejme, ki so na ozemlju druge pogodbenice; e) opreme za profesionalno tonsko oddajanje ali snemanje, profesionalne filmske ali TV opreme; f) posmrtnih ostankov; g) pošte kot javne službe; h) vozil, ki so v okvari ali poškodovana; i) čebel ali ribjega zaroda; j) blaga na motornih vozilih, katerih dovoljena bruto teža vključno s težo prikolice ne presega 6 ton ali teža tovora na motornem vozilu in prikolici ne presega 3,5 ton; k) zdravniškega blaga in opreme ali drugega blaga, ki je potrebno v sili, še posebno za naravne nesreče in humanitarno pomoč. 3. Vsaki dovolilnici mora biti priloženo poročilo o potovanju, ki se izpolni pred pričetkom potovanja. Ob vstopu na ozemlje druge pogodbenice mora carina dovolilnico žigosati. Pri prečkanju meje na prehodu, ki nima carinske službe, mora voznik na mestu carinskega žiga na dovolilnici s črnilom vpisati mesto, datum in uro prečkanja meje. 4. V skladu z drugim odstavkom 4. člena mora vloga za posebno dovoljenje za vozila z blagom, katerih teža in velikost presegajo meje, ki so dovoljene na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, vsebovati: 1. ime in naslov voznika; 2. model in vrsto vozila ter registrsko številko: 3. število osi in osni razmak; 4. dimenzije in težo vozila; 5. nosilnost vozila; 6. dimenzije in težo blaga; 7. če je potrebno, skico vozila skupaj z blagom; 8. obremenitev posamezne osi; 9. naslov mesta natovarjanja in raztovarjanja; 10. planirano mesto prehoda meje, datum prehoda in vozno pot.
