Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:* Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Arabske republike Egipt (v nadaljevanju pogodbenici) sta se z namenom razvijanja tradicionalnih odnosov med narodoma obeh držav in v želji, da bi okrepili in pospešili trgovinske stike med državama na podlagi enakosti in vzajemne koristi, dogovorili naslednje:

Pogodbenici bosta sprejeli vse ukrepe, potrebne za spodbujanje, olajševanje, krepitev in popestritev poslovnih in trgovinskih odnosov med državama v skladu z zakoni in predpisi, ki veljajo v obeh državah.

Uvoz in izvoz blaga in storitev potekata po pogodbah, ki jih sklenejo fizične in pravne osebe obeh držav, v skladu s cenami in standardi mednarodnega trga. Pogodbenici nista odgovorni za obveznosti fizičnih in pravnih oseb, ki izhajajo iz njihovih pogodb.

Plačila med državama se bodo opravljala v prosto konvertibilnih valutah v skladu z zakoni in predpisi, ki veljajo v obeh državah, z možnostjo, da fizične in pravne osebe obeh držav lahko uporabljajo tudi druge načine plačila, o katerih se dogovorijo v svojih pogodbah.

Pogodbenici si bosta prizadevali za pospeševanje trgovine med državama, vključno s skupnimi vlaganji, z ustanovitvijo trgovskih centrov, trgovino v tranzitu in drugimi različnimi načini in sredstvi sodelovanja.

Pogodbenici bosta spodbujali in olajševali sodelovanje na mednarodnih in lokalnih sejmih in razstavah vsaka na svojem ozemlju, v skladu s predpisi, ki veljajo v njunih državah. Glede tega pogodbenici soglašata, da bosta blago za sejme in razstave, ki ni namenjeno za prodajo, oprostili carin in drugih podobnih dajatev, na podlagi zakonov in predpisov, ki veljajo v njunih državah.

Pogodbenici bosta v skladu z zakoni in predpisi, veljavnimi v njunih državah, dovoljevali izvoz in/ali uvoz blaga, oproščenega davkov, carin in drugih dajatev po sistemu začasnega uvoza.

Pogodbenici bosta spodbujali sodelovanje in izmenjavo obiskov med gospodarskimi in industrijskimi zbornicami ter drugimi podobnimi organizacijami kot tudi med poslovneži obeh držav.

Da bi pogodbenici spodbudili uresničevanje tega sporazuma in določili načine in sredstva za pospeševanje in razvijanje trgovinskih odnosov, bosta ustanovili skupno trgovinsko komisijo, sestavljeno iz predstavnikov ustreznih organov ene in druge strani (v nadaljevanju komisija). Komisija se bo sestajala na željo katerekoli od pogodbenic izmenično v Republiki Sloveniji in v Arabski republiki Egipt, da bi razpravljala o problemih, ki bi nastali med uresničevanjem tega sporazuma, sprejemala priporočila in predloge za nadaljnje razvijanje gospodarskih izmenjav in reševala probleme v zvezi s tem.

Spori v zvezi s pojasnjevanjem, razlago in uresničevanjem določb tega sporazuma se rešujejo s pogajanji ali na načine, ki so priznani po mednarodnem pravu.

Določbe tega sporazuma bodo tudi po njegovi spremembi ali prenehanju še naprej veljale za pogodbe, ki se sklenejo v njegovem okviru in med njegovo veljavnostjo.

Ta sporazum je treba odobriti v skladu z zakoni, veljavnimi v obeh državah in začne veljati z datumom zadnjega obvestila, s katerim pogodbenici druga drugo obvestita, da so izpolnjeni vsi pravni postopki za uveljavitev tega sporazuma.

Ta sporazum velja dve leti in se vsakokrat avtomatično podaljšuje še za eno leto, če ena od pogodbenic pisno ne obvesti druge tri mesece pred dnem prenehanja veljavnosti, da ga odpoveduje.
