Ratificira se Sporazum o gospodarskem sodelovanju med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Argentine, podpisan 13. junija 1995 v Buenos Airesu.

Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi: Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Argentine (v nadaljevanju pogodbenici) sta se v želji, da bi razvijali in povečali gospodarsko sodelovanje med državama v srednje in dolgoročnem obdobju po načelih enakosti in vzajemne koristi, v prepričanju, da je ta sporazum primerna in zdrava podlaga za gospodarsko sodelovanje med državama, dogovorili, kot sledi:

Pogodbenici bosta pospeševali razvoj trgovinskega sodelovanja in druge načine gospodarskega sodelovanja med državama v skladu z določili tega sporazuma.

Po načelih Splošnega sporazuma o carinah in trgovini (GATT) pogodbenici druga drugi priznata status države z največjimi ugodnostmi za katerokoli zadevo v zvezi s carino, trgovino in drugimi načini gospodarskega sodelovanja med državama. Vendar pa določila ne veljajo za: a) ugodnosti ali oprostitve, ki jih je ali jih morda bo priznala ena od pogodbenic sosednjim državam zato, da bi pospeševala obmejno trgovino, b) ugodnosti ali oprostitve, ki jih je ali jih morda bo priznala ena od pogodbenic in izhajajo iz njene udeležbe v svobodnem trgovinskem območju, carinski zvezi, skupnem trgu ali kateremkoli drugem načinu regionalnega gospodarskega povezovanja, c) ugodnosti ali oprostitve, ki jih priznava Republika Argentina po dvostranskih sporazumih, sklenjenih z Italijo 10. decembra 1987, in s Španijo 3. junija 1988.

Trgovinsko sodelovanje med pogodbenicama poteka po zakonodaji, ki velja v eni in drugi državi. Izvoz in uvoz blaga kot tudi storitev, dogovorjenih s tem sporazumom, se opravljata s pogodbami ali sporazumi med javnimi in zasebnimi podjetji, organizacijami in ustanovami obeh držav.

Posli, ki potekajo po tem sporazumu, se plačujejo v katerikoli konvertibilni valuti, razen če se za določen posel vpletene stranke ne dogovorijo drugače v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo v eni in drugi državi.

Pogodbenici si bosta čim bolj prizadevali za zagotovitev stabilnih razmer za razvoj trgovine in drugih načinov gospodarskega sodelovanja med obema državama, še zlasti za sodelovanje na gospodarskem, industrijskem, fitosanitarnem, tehničnem in znanstvenem področju. Za učinkovito uresničevanje tega sporazuma lahko pogodbenici skleneta posebne protokole in pripravita podrobne programe sodelovanja.

Pogodbenici bosta v skladu s svojima zakonodajama pospeševali organiziranje sejmov in razstav in pri tem druga drugi čim bolj pomagali. Pogodbenici bosta v skladu s svojo zakonodajo in predpisi oprostili izdelke in drugo blago za sejme in razstave, organizirane po tem sporazumu, plačila carinskih in drugih davčnih dajatev, ki se zaračunavajo za uvozne in izvozne posle.

Ob morebitnem dumpinškem trgovanju bosta pogodbenici nemudoma storili vse potrebno v skladu s Sporazumom o uresničevanju VI. člena Splošnega sporazuma o carinah in trgovini 1994 in drugo ustrezno zakonodajo.

Da bi razvijali gospodarsko sodelovanje, bosta pogodbenici pospeševali izmenjavo informacij, zlasti o zakonodaji v eni in drugi državi in o gospodarskih programih, kot tudi vseh drugih informacij vzajemnega interesa.

Pogodbenici se sporazumeta, da bosta ustanovili slovensko-argentinsko mešano komisijo za gospodarsko sodelovanje, ki bo nadzorovala uresničevanje tega sporazuma in dajala predloge in priporočila pogodbenicama, katerih cilj je širjenje trgovine in krepitev sodelovanja med državama. Pogodbenici bosta pospešili vzpostavitev podjetniškega odbora, ki se lahko sestaja z mešano komisijo in ji predlaga svoje sklepe in priporočila. Mešana komisija se bo sestajala, ko bo to po mnenju pogodbenic potrebno, izmenično v Republiki Sloveniji in Republiki Argentini.

Morebitni spori, ki lahko nastanejo med pogodbenicama v zvezi s tolmačenjem ali uporabo sporazuma, se rešijo po diplomatski poti z neposrednimi pogajanji.

Vsaka pogodbenica pisno po diplomatski poti obvesti drugo, da so bile dokončane notranje formalnosti, potrebne za začetek veljavnosti tega sporazuma. Ta sporazum začne veljati na dan kasnejšega od obvestil.

Sporazum velja dve leti in se samodejno obnavlja za eno leto, razen če ga ena od pogodbenic pisno ne odpove po diplomatski poti najmanj šest mesecev pred datumom izteka. Projekti, sklenjeni po tem sporazumu, veljajo in se izvajajo po določilih sporazuma, dokler se v celoti ne dokončajo.
