Ratificira se Sporazum o trgovinskem in gospodarskem sodelovanju med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Ukrajine, podpisan 28. avgusta 1996 v Ljubljani.

Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:* Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Ukrajine (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbenici) sta se – z namenom, da razvijata in krepita dolgoročno trgovinsko in gospodarsko sodelovanje na podlagi enakopravnosti in obojestranske koristi, – v prepričanju, da je ta sporazum primerna in stabilna podlaga za gospodarsko sodelovanje med državama, – ob upoštevanju prakse in norm mednarodnega trga sporazumeli o naslednjem:

Pogodbenici bosta podpirali in olajševali nadaljnji razvoj gospodarskega sodelovanja med državama in bosta v skladu s svojima nacionalnima zakonodajama in z določili tega sporazuma omogočali različne oblike gospodarskih povezav med subjekti obeh držav ter sporazumno premagovali morebitne ovire pri tem sodelovanju.

Pogodbenici bosta druga drugo obravnavali kot državo z največjimi ugodnostmi za proizvode in storitve, ki izvirajo z njunega območja, in sicer glede carine in drugih dajatev z enakim učinkom, ki se plačujejo pri uvozu in izvozu, glede načina njihovega plačevanja ter glede vseh predpisov in formalnosti v zvezi z uvozom in izvozom. Prejšnji odstavek se ne nanaša na: a) ugodnosti, ki jih ena ali druga pogodbenica odobri ali jih je odobrila kateri izmed sosednjih držav, da bi olajšala maloobmejni promet in trgovino; b) ugodnosti, ki sta jih pogodbenici priznali ali jih bosta priznali tretjim državam na podlagi udeležbe v carinski uniji in/ali na prostem trgovinskem območju in/ali v regionalnih integracijskih sporazumih.

Pogodbenici si bosta v skladu s svojimi pooblastili prizadevali za zagotovitev čim bolj stabilnih pogojev za razvoj trgovinske menjave in drugih oblik gospodarskega sodelovanja med državama, pri čemer bosta še posebej spodbujali sodelovanje na gospodarskem, industrijskem, tehničnem in znanstveno-tehnološkem področju.

Pogodbenici bosta z vidika razvoja trgovinskega in gospodarskega sodelovanja podpirali medsebojno izmenjavo informacij, zlasti glede svoje zakonodajne ureditve in programov z gospodarskega področja ter drugih informacij v skupnem interesu.

Vsa plačila med pogodbenicama se bodo opravljala v prosto konvertibilni valuti v skladu s predpisi, ki veljajo v obeh pogodbenicah in ob upoštevanju cen in veljavnih pogojev na mednarodnem trgu. Obračuni v okviru tega sporazuma se lahko opravijo na kakršen koli v mednarodni bančni praksi uveljavljen način na podlagi dogovora med zainteresiranimi gospodarskimi subjekti ob upoštevanju pravne ureditve pogodbenic.

Medsebojna menjava blaga in opravljanje storitev bosta potekala po pogodbah, sklenjenih med gospodarskimi subjekti pogodbenic, ki lahko opravljajo zunanjetrgovinsko dejavnost po veljavnih predpisih v ustrezni državi pogodbenici.

Vsaka od pogodbenic se zavezuje, da ne bo izvažala nobenega blaga drugi pogodbenici po dumpinških ali subvencioniranih cenah na način, ki vpliva na domačo proizvodnjo druge pogodbenice. V vseh primerih se bosta pogodbenici ravnali v skladu s Splošnim sporazumom o carinah in trgovini (GATT 1994).

Pogodbenici si bosta v skladu z mednarodnimi sporazumi in svojima nacionalnima zakonodajama pomagali pri organiziranju sejmov, specializiranih razstav in promocijskih akcij. Pogodbenici se strinjata, da bosta oprostili plačila carine in drugih dajatev v skladu z njunima notranjima zakonodajama, uvoz naslednjega: a) reklamno gradivo, brezplačni vzorci iz druge pogodbenice in predmeti, ki se dobijo v drugi pogodbenici na tekmovanjih, razstavah in drugih prireditvah; b) blago in oprema za sejme in razstave, ki ni namenjeno za prodajo.

Za uresničevanje ciljev tega sporazuma ustanovita pogodbenici mešano komisijo iz predstavnikov državnih institucij in gospodarskih subjektov obeh pogodbenic. Komisija se bo sestajala po potrebi izmenoma v eni od pogodbenic. Mešana komisija določi način svojega delovanja.

Ta sporazum je sklenjen za eno leto in se vsakokrat podaljšuje še za eno leto, če ga ena od obeh pogodbenic pisno po diplomatski poti ne odpove tri mesece pred prenehanjem njegove veljavnosti. Spremembe ali prenehanje veljavnosti tega sporazuma ne bo vplivalo na izpolnitev pogodb, sklenjenih med gospodarskimi subjekti obeh držav med njegovo veljavnostjo.

Ta sporazum začne veljati z dnem izmenjave not, s katerima se pogodbenici medsebojno obvestita o izpolnitvi svojih ustavnopravnih in zakonodajnih zahtev za njegovo uveljavitev.
