Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the products received from the Centre under the terms of this agreement may not be communicated to third parties (non-member Governments or private entities) nor sold for commercial purposes.

The results of the studies and research provided for in Article 2(1)(a) and (c) and the data referred to in Article 2 (1)(b) and (d) of the Convention will be made available to the meteorological office of Slovenia in the same form as to the meteorological offices of the Member States.

Dušan Hrček Director David Burridge Director of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast Shinfield Park, Reading, Berkshire RG2 9AX ENGLAND 6. december 1996 Dr. Hrček, kot določa 3. člen Konvencije o ustanovitvi Evropskega centra za srednjeročne vremenske napovedi (v nadaljevanju konvencija), glede na to, da Republika Slovenija (v nadaljevanju Slovenija) želi skladno z mednarodno meteorološko tradicijo sodelovati z Evropskim centrom za srednjeročne vremenske napovedi (v nadaljevanju Center), Center predlaga, da se s Slovenijo sklene sporazum o sodelovanju pod temi pogoji:

Slovenija, ki se v celoti strinja s cilji Centra, kot jih določa 2. člen konvencije, daje po potrebi Centru na voljo vsa vremenska opazovanja, ki so jih opravile ali zbrale vladne agencije ali ustanove.

Sloveniji se za njene potrebe na področju vremenskih napovedi brezplačno zagotovijo neekskluzivno dovoljenje in katere koli druge neekskluzivne pravice uporabe glede na pravice industrijske lastnine, računalniških programov in tehnoloških podatkov, ki izhajajo iz dela, ki se izvaja skladno s konvencijo, in ki pripadajo Centru.

Če se pogodbenici ne dogovorita drugače, se proizvodi, prejeti od Centra po pogojih tega sporazuma, ne smejo posredovati tretjim stranem (vladam nečlanicam ali zasebnikom) niti se ne smejo prodajati v komercialne namene. Slovenija bo upoštevala pravila in smernice, ki veljajo za širjenje rezultatov dela Centra in za širjenje proizvodov Centra, ki jih je sprejel Svet Centra in veljajo za države članice.

Uporaba proizvodov, ki jih je Slovenija prejela od Centra pod pogoji tega sporazuma, na noben način ne obvezuje Centra.

Rezultati študij in raziskav, predvideni v točkah a) in c) odstavka 1) 2. člena, in podatki, ki so navedeni v točkah b) in d) odstavka 1) 2. člena konvencije, bodo na voljo Hidrometeorološkemu zavodu Slovenije v enaki obliki, kot jih prejemajo meteorološki uradi držav članic.

Center ne krije nobenih stroškov v zvezi s pošiljanjem svojih meteoroloških podatkov v Slovenijo ali s postavitvijo ali vzdrževanjem telekomunikacijskih povezav med Centrom in Slovenijo.

Slovenija ima dostop do naprav za usposabljanje v Centru po istem postopku za izbor, kot velja za države članice Centra. Center ne krije nobenih stroškov potovanja in dnevnic za kandidate za usposabljanje iz Slovenije.

Letni prispevek Slovenije je polovica prispevka, ki bi ga Slovenija morala plačati po določbah odstavka 1) 13. člena konvencije, če bi bila država članica. i) Letni prispevek Slovenije je polovica prispevka, ki bi ga Slovenija morala plačati po določbah odstavka 1) 13. člena konvencije, če bi bila država članica. ii) Letni prispevek Slovenije Centru se plača v skladu z 12. in 13. členom konvencije. Polovica letnega prispevka se plača pred 20. januarjem, druga polovica pa pred 1. junijem ustreznega finančnega leta. iii) Če bi Slovenija ali Center zahteval posebne storitve, ki jih ta sporazum ne zajema, skleneta Slovenija in Center dodatni sporazum, ki določa pogoje in okoliščine uresničevanja, vrsto mogočega slovenskega prispevka in način plačila prejetih storitev.

Ko ta sporazum začne veljati, Slovenija plača enkraten dodaten prispevek v višini 75.000 funtov.

Če se Evropski center za srednjeročne vremenske napovedi in Slovenija tako dogovorita, se lahko enkratni dodatni prispevek, naveden v 9. členu, ponovno pregleda.

i) Glede zastopanja na sestankih Sveta in njegovih svetovalnih odborov je Slovenija članica Svetovnega odbora sodelujočih držav (ACCS). ii) ACCS je vabljen, da ga na sestankih Sveta in njegovih svetovalnih odborov zastopa njegov predsedujoči.

Vsi spori med pogodbenicama v zvezi z razlago ali uporabo določb tega ali katerih koli dodatnih in kasneje sklenjenih sporazumov, ki jih ni mogoče rešiti z neposrednimi pogajanji, se na zahtevo katere koli od sprtih pogodbenic predajo arbitraži. Arbitražni postopek mora biti v skladu z določbami, kot sledijo: i) Spor je predan razsodišču, ki je imenovano v skladu s prvim pododstavkom odstavka ii), razen če bi se strankama v sporu v treh mesecih uspelo dogovoriti o drugačni obliki rešitve spora. ii) V dveh mesecih po prejemu zahtevka, ki je omenjen v odstavku i), vsaka stranka v sporu določi enega člana razsodišča. Ta dva člana v dveh mesecih po določitvi drugega člana imenujeta tretjega člana, ki je predsednik razsodišča in ki ni državljan Slovenije. Če imenovanje katerega koli izmed treh članov razsodišča ni opravljeno v dogovorjenem roku, ga na zahtevo ene od pogodbenic imenuje predsednik Meddržavnega sodišča. Razsodišče sprejema odločitve z večino glasov. Njegove odločitve so za stranki v sporu obvezujoče. Vsaka stranka v sporu krije stroške za člana razsodišča, ki ga je imenovala, in tiste stroške, ki so povezani z njegovim zastopanjem v postopku pred razsodiščem. Vsaka stranka v sporu krije tudi enak delež stroškov za predsednika razsodišča in vse druge stroške, razen če razsodišče ne določi drugače. Razsodišče določi tudi druga pravila postopka.

Ob oboroženem spopadu, ki bi prekinil zvezo med Centrom in Slovenijo, ni nobena pogodbenica odgovorna za neizpolnitev obveznosti iz sporazuma. V tem primeru sta pogodbenici upravičeni do začasne prekinitve uresničevanja sporazuma, o čemer sme odločiti ena pogodbenica sama ali se dogovoriti z drugo pogodbenico.

i) Ta sporazum o sodelovanju preneha veljati z razpustitvijo Centra ali s pisno odpovedjo katere koli pogodbenice. ii) Če se pogodbenici ne dogovorita drugače, bo odpoved začela veljati konec drugega finančnega leta po tistem letu, v katerem je bila prejeta odpoved, in Slovenija bo v skladu z določbami 8. člena tega sporazuma obvezana prispevati k financiranju vseh obveznosti, sklenjenih s Centrom pred takšno odpovedjo. Če je predlagani sporazum za Slovenijo sprejemljiv, bi mi bilo v čast, da bi to pismo skupaj z vašim odgovorom sestavljalo sporazum med Evropskim centrom za srednjeročne vremenske napovedi in Republiko Slovenijo, ki začne veljati z dnem, ko je po diplomatski poti prejeto obvestilo, da so bile izpolnjene zahteve z zvezi z veljavnostjo sporazuma, ki jih določa zakonodaja Slovenije.
