For the Government of the Republic of Slovenia Vojka Ravbar (s) For the Government of the Republic of Turkey Ilhan Yigitbasioglu (s) Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Turčije (v nadaljevanju besedila pogodbenici) sta se – v želji, da bi spodbudili in popestrili vzajemno koristne gospodarske in poslovne odnose med državama na stabilni in uravnoteženi podlagi, – in z namenom, da bi še bolj okrepili prijateljske odnose v skladu z načeli enakosti, vzajemnega spoštovanja in skupne koristi, sporazumeli o naslednjem:

Pogodbenici v skladu z določbami tega sporazuma in s svojo veljavno notranjepravno zakonodajo ustrezno ukrepata, zato da bi razvili in popestrili svoje trgovinske odnose na dolgoročni stabilni in uravnoteženi podlagi in da bi razširili gospodarsko sodelovanje v okviru obstoječih možnosti.

Pogodbenici druga drugi priznata največje ugodnosti glede carin in dajatev kakršnekoli vrste, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz in izvoz blaga, ki izvira iz ene ali druge pogodbenice. To določilo se ne uporablja: 1) za privilegije, priznane sosednjim državam za lajšanje obmejne in obalne trgovine; 2) za privilegije, ki izhajajo iz sporazumov, ki vodijo v carinsko unijo ali prostotrgovinsko območje, katerih pogodbenica je ena od pogodbenic ali pa to lahko postane po sklenitvi tega sporazuma; 3) za privilegije, priznane z namenom, da se oblikujejo posebni dogovori z državami v razvoju na področju trgovinskih in gospodarskih odnosov.

Pogodbenici v skladu s svojo veljavno notranjepravno zakonodajo soglašata, da bosta oprostili carin in dajatev blago, ki se začasno uvaža za uporabo ob trgovinsko-predstavitvenih dogokih, kot so sejmi, razstave, misije in seminarji, pod pogojem, da se to blago ne proda ali kako drugače prenese.

Pogodbenici v prizadevanju po izboljšanju in popestritvi dvostranske trgovine in po razvijanju gospodarskega sodelovanja med državama soglašata, da bosta lajšali in pospeševali izmenjavo informacij, zlasti tistih, ki se nanašajo na njuno zakonodajo in gospodarske programe, zato, da bi spodbujali stike med svojimi podjetji in drugimi osebki, udeleženimi pri trgovinskem in gospodarskem sodelovanju.

Pogodbenici soglašata, da bosta podpirali sodelovanje med državama na področju industrije in tehnologije. Nadalje pogodbenici med dugim opredeljujeta spodaj navedena področja kot možna področja sodelovanja: – železarska in jeklarska industrija, – kmetijstvo in živilska industrija, – prevoz in telekomunikacije, – gradbeništvo in izvajalske dejavnosti, – kemična industrija, – kovinsko-predelovalna industrija, – tekstilna, oblačilna in obutvena industrija, – industrija stavbnega lesa in lesna industrija, – naftna industrija, – rudarstvo in predelava mineralnih rud, – ladjedelniška industrija, – avtomobilska industrija, – sodelovanje na tretjih trgih pri skupnih vlaganjih in drugih gospodarskih dejavnostih, – turizem.

Če ni drugače dogovorjeno, se vsa plačila, ki se nanašajo na uvoz in izvoz blaga in storitev med državama, opravijo v prosto konvertibilnih valutah v skladu z zakonodajo, ki velja v obeh državah.

Pogodbenici spodbujata sprejetje arbitraže za reševanje sporov, ki bi nastali pri poslovnih transakcijah.

Ob upoštevanju pomena bančništva pri razvijanju vzajemnih gospodarskih in poslovnih dejavnostih se pogodbenici dogovorita, da bosta pospeševali sodelovanje med ustreznimi bančnimi in finančnimi ustanovami.

Pogodbenici sta se odločili, da ustanovita slovensko-turško skupno gospodarsko komisijo, zato da bi pregledovala uresničevanje tega sporazuma, proučevala vprašanja, ki nastajajo v zvezi z njegovim uresničevanjem, in dajala priporočila vsaka svoji vladi za nadaljno širitev dvostranskih gospodarskih in trgovinskih odnosov. Ta komisija bo sestavljena iz predstavnikov, ki jih imenujeta njihovi vladi, in se bo sestajala ob vzajemno dogovorjenih datumih izmenično v Sloveniji in Turčiji.

Ta sporazum ne vpliva na pravice in obveznosti pogodbenic, ki izhajajo iz veljavnih dvostranskih ali mnogostranskih mednarodnih sporazumov.

V primeru prenehanja tega sporazuma veljajo njegova določila še naprej za pogodbe, ki se sklenejo med njegovo veljavnostjo.

Ta sporazum začne veljati na dan, ko pogodbenici druga drugo po diplomatski poti obvestita, da so izpolnjene njune nacionalne zahteve, potrebne za začetek veljavnosti tega sporazuma, in velja pet let. Ta sporazum se samodejno podaljšuje vsakič za eno leto, razen če ena od pogodbenic šest mesecev pred iztekom veljavnosti sporazuma pisno ne obvesti druge pogodbenice, da ga odpoveduje.
