Ratificira se Sporazum med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Hrvaško o zgodnji izmenjavi informacij v primeru radiološke nevarnosti, podpisan na Otočcu 22. aprila 1998.

Besedilo sporazuma se v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:* Republika Slovenija in Republika Hrvaška (v nadaljevanju “pogodbenici”) sta se v želji, da bi povsem in v celoti izpolnili določbe sklepnih listin Konference o varnosti in sodelovanju v Evropi in tako razvijali prijateljske odnose med pogodbenicama, prepričani, da morata pogodbenici čim prej zagotoviti pomembne informacije o radiološki nevarnosti, da bi lahko čim bolj zmanjšali morebitne čezmejne posledice, prepričani, da lahko pravočasna izmenjava informacij in izkušenj o jedrski varnosti in varstvu pred sevanjem pomembno pripomore k splošni varnosti prebivalstva obeh pogodbenic, ob upoštevanju Konvencije o zgodnjem obveščanju o jedrskih nesrečah (1986), Konvencije o pomoči v primeru jedrskih nesreč ali radiološke nevarnosti

(1986)in Konvencije o jedrski varnosti

(1994)kot tudi uveljavljena načela sodelovanja v okviru Mednarodne agencije za atomsko energijo, v želji slediti določilom Dogovorov Evropske skupnosti o zgodnji izmenjavi informacij v primeru radiološke nevarnosti

(1987)dogovorili, kot sledi:

Take informacije in vsakokratna dopolnila se zagotavljajo tako dolgo, dokler ne prenehajo razmere, navedene v 2. členu, ali dokler ni zadostnih informacij za presojo dejanskega stanja.

1. V primeru razmer, navedenih v 2. členu, se pogodbenici brez odlašanja dogovorita o ureditvi potrebnega sodelovanja pri ukrepanju za zaščito zdravja in premoženja prebivalstva kot tudi o morebitni pomoči. 2. Pogodbenici se bosta dogovorili o vseh nadaljnjih ukrepih. 3. Z namenom, da bi se čim bolj zmanjšale radiološke posledice v drugi državi, pogodbenica, ki zagotovi informacije skladno z 2. členom pod (b) drugi pogodbenici na njeno zahtevo po nadaljnjih informacijah ali njeno prošnjo po sodelovanju, takoj odgovori v obsegu, v katerem je to izvedljivo.

1. Pogodbenici se medsebojno po diplomatski poti obvestita, kateri njuni pristojni organi in kontaktna mesta so odgovorni za dajanje in sprejemanje obvestil in informacij iz 2. člena. Takšna kontaktna mesta so na razpolago 24 ur na dan. 2. Pogodbenici se obvestita tudi o vsaki spremembi, ki utegne nastati v zvezi z informacijami iz prvega odstavka. 3. Ta kontaktna mesta se neposredno po svoji ustanovitvi dogovorijo o načinu prenosa informacij. Delovanje sistema prenosa se preveri najmanj enkrat letno.

1. Pogodbenici se enkrat letno medsebojno obvestita o lastnih jedrskih programih, o izkušnjah iz obratovanja jedrskih naprav, kot so navedene v drugem odstavku 1. člena od (a) do (c), o načrtih za okolico naprave ob izrednih dogodkih in o pravnih predpisih s področja jedrske varnosti in radiološke varnosti. 2. Pogodbenici se medsebojno obveščata o obstoječih jedrskih napravah v smislu prvega odstavka, o napravah v gradnji in načrtovanih napravah.

Informacije iz drugega odstavka o načrtovanih napravah se zagotavljajo po izdaji gradbenega dovoljenja. O predvidenem začetku obratovanja naprav v gradnji se pogodbenici medsebojno obvestita šest mesecev vnaprej.

1. Vsaka pogodbenica izvaja na svojem ozemlju program meritev ionizirajočega sevanja in radionuklidov v okolju, še posebej v okolici jedrskih naprav iz prvega odstavka 6. člena. 2. Program meritev vsebuje meritve koncentracije radionuklidov v zraku (vključno aerosole), pitni vodi, površinski vodi, zemlji, padavinah, živilih in krmi kot tudi podatke o emisijah. Rezultati meritev morajo biti medsebojno primerljivi in vsebovati zadostne podatke za izračun izpostavljenosti prebivalstva pogodbenice sevanju. 3. Rezultati meritev se pošljejo drugi pogodbenici enkrat letno. Pri pomembnejšem odstopanju od normalnega stanja se podatki nemudoma pošljejo drugi pogodbenici. Na prošnjo ene pogodbenice pošlje druga pogodbenica dopolnilne podatke.

Pogodbenici v skladu z dogovorom med koordinatorjema v dveh letih po začetku veljavnosti tega sporazuma vzpostavita sistem izmenjave podatkov iz svojih radioloških sistemov za zgodnje opozarjanje.

1. Pogodbenici izvedeta enkrat letno skupno strokovno posvetovanje, kjer zlasti: (a) ocenita izvajanje tega sporazuma, (b) obravnavata dane informacije na podlagi 6. člena, (c) ovrednotita rezultate programa meritev na podlagi 7. člena, (d) obravnavata druga aktualna vprašanja jedrske varnosti in radiološke varnosti. 2. O času in kraju skupnega strokovnega posvetovanja in udeležencih se bosta pogodbenici dogovorili preko koordinatorjev. 3. Po potrebi pogodbenici z dogovorom med koordinatorjema izvedeta dodatna strokovna posvetovanja skladno s prvim odstavkom.

1. Za izvajanje tega sporazuma določi vsaka pogodbenica enega koordinatorja, in sicer: (a) za Republiko Slovenijo – Uprava Republike Slovenije za jedrsko varnost (b) za Republiko Hrvaško – Ministrstvo za gospodarstvo. 2. Koordinatorja skrbita predvsem za: (a) izmenjavo vseh strokovnih podlag in informacij, potrebnih za sodelovanje na podlagi 6., 7. in 8. člena, razen če je treba upoštevati poseben način obveščanja. (b) organizacijo skupnih strokovnih posvetovanj v skladu z 9. členom. 3. Morebitne spremembe pri imenovanju koordinatorja pogodbenici sporočita po diplomatski poti.

Vsebino informacij, ki jih je pogodbenica na podlagi 2., 3., 6., 7. in 8. člena prejela od druge pogodbenice, lahko uporabi vsaka pogodbenica za obveščanje javnosti, razen če druga pogodbenica take informacije preda kot zaupne.

Medsebojna izmenjava informacij po tem sporazumu je brezplačna. Če je pridobitev dopolnilnih informacij povezana z večjimi stroški, krije te stroške pogodbenica, ki je zaprosila za dopolnitev.

Ta sporazum ne vpliva na medsebojne pravice in obveznosti pogodbenic po obstoječih mednarodnih sporazumih, ki se nanašajo na vprašanja iz tega sporazuma, ali po novih mednarodnih sporazumih.
