The Federal Council of Switzerland and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia agree under consideration that in Switzerland the actual maximum laden weight limit for articulated vehicles and road trains is limited to 34 tons for all types of traffic until December 31, 2004 that Switzerland grants Slovenia the following quotas for vehicles in international traffic for which the actual total laden weight is in excess of 34 tons but does not exceed 40 tons: a) 600 authorisations for the last six months of the year 2003 (1st of July – 31st of December; annual basis of 1’200 authorisations) and 400 authorisations for the first four months of the year 2004 (1st of January – 30th of April; annual basis of 1’200 authorisations) for international traffic. International traffic means either transit traffic (the carriage of goods across the territory of Switzerland without loading or unloading), or export and import traffic (each inward and outward run with loading and unloading of goods in Switzerland) whereas transports between two points situated on the territory of Switzerland (inland transport / cabotage) are not authorised under this agreement. b) in addition to the distance-related heavy vehicle fee (HVF) for a 34-ton vehicle, an average additional charge (difference 34 t – 40 t) of CHF 55.- for the years 2003 and 2004 will be levied on passing through Swiss customs for each first entrance for a journey with an authorisation under the quota. Should the Government of the Republic of Slovenia give its consent to the present proposal, the text of this proposal together with the reply of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia shall constitute an agreement between the two governments which shall be applied provisionally from the date of the Ministry's note accepting the provisional application and shall enter into force definitively on the date of the Ministry's note informing the Embassy that the Government of Slovenia has completed all the necessary internal procedures required for the entry into force of the Agreement. This agreement shall be applicable until 30th of April 2004. After Slovenia’s accession to the European Union (on 1st of May 2004), Slovenia will be granted its authorisations for international transport on Swiss territory by the European Commission. The Embassy avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia the assurances of its highest consideration.
