Subject to the provisions of this Protocol, the consignment note referred to in the Convention, as well as any demand, declaration, instruction, request, reservation or other communication relating to the performance of a contract of carriage to which the Convention applies, may be made out by electronic communication. 2. An electronic consignment note that complies with the provisions of this Protocol shall be considered to be equivalent to the consignment note referred to in the Convention and shall therefore have the same evidentiary value and produce the same effects as that consignment note. 1. The electronic consignment note shall be authenticated by the parties to the contract of carriage by means of a reliable electronic signature that ensures its link with the electronic consignment note. The reliability of an electronic signature method is presumed, unless otherwise proved, if the electronic signature: (a) is uniquely linked to the signatory; (b) is capable of identifying the signatory; (c) is created using means that the signatory can maintain under his sole control; and (d) is linked to the data to which it relates in such a manner that any subsequent change of the data is detectable. 2. The electronic consignment note may also be authenticated by any other electronic authentication method permitted by the law of the country in which the electronic consignment note has been made out. 3. The particulars contained in the electronic consignment note shall be accessible to any party entitled thereto. 1. The electronic consignment note shall contain the same particulars as the consignment note referred to in the Convention. 2. The procedure used to issue the electronic consignment note shall ensure the integrity of the particulars contained therein from the time when it was first generated in its final form. There is integrity when the particulars have remained complete and unaltered, apart from any addition or change which arises in the normal course of communication, storage and display. 3. The particulars contained in the electronic consignment note may be supplemented or amended in the cases authorized by the Convention. The procedure used for supplementing or amending the electronic consignment note shall make it possible to detect as such any supplement or amendment to the electronic consignment note and shall preserve the particulars originally contained therein. 1. The parties interested in the performance of the contract of carriage shall agree on the procedures and their implementation in order to comply with the requirements of this Protocol and the Convention, in particular as regards: (a) The method for the issuance and the delivery of the electronic consignment note to the entitled party; (b) An assurance that the electronic consignment note retains its integrity; (c) The manner in which the party entitled to the rights arising out of the electronic consignment note is able to demonstrate that entitlement; (d) The way in which confirmation is given that delivery to the consignee has been effected; (e) The procedures for supplementing or amending the electronic consignment note; and (f) The procedures for the possible replacement of the electronic consignment note by a consignment note issued by different means. 2. The procedures in paragraph 1 must be referred to in the electronic consignment note and shall be readily ascertainable. 1. The carrier shall hand over to the sender, at the latter’s request, a receipt for the goods and all information necessary for identifying the shipment and for access to the electronic consignment note to which this Protocol refers. 2. The documents referred to in Article 6, paragraph 2 (g) and Article 11 of the Convention may be furnished by the sender to the carrier in the form of an electronic communication if the documents exist in this form and if the parties have agreed to procedures enabling a link to be established between these documents and the electronic consignment note to which this Protocol refers in a manner that assures their integrity. 1. This Protocol shall be open for signature by States which are signatories to or Parties to the Convention and are either members of the Economic Commission for Europe or have been admitted to the Commission in a consultative capacity under paragraph 8 of the Commission’s terms of reference. 2.

Ratification or accession shall be effected by the deposit of an instrument with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. 6. Any instrument of ratification or accession, deposited after the entry into force of an amendment to this Protocol adopted in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereafter, shall be deemed to apply to the Protocol as modified by the amendment. 1.

Pogodbenice tega protokola, ki so pogodbenice Konvencije o pogodbi za mednarodni cestni prevoz blaga (CMR), sklenjene v Ženevi 19. maja 1956, so se v želji dopolniti konvencijo tako, da s postopki, ki se uporabljajo za elektronsko zapisovanje podatkov in ravnanje z njimi, olajšajo neobvezno izdajo tovornega lista, dogovorile:

V tem protokolu »konvencija« pomeni Konvencijo o pogodbi za mednarodni cestni prevoz blaga (CMR); »elektronska komunikacija« pomeni informacije, ki nastanejo, se pošljejo, prejmejo ali shranijo z elektronskimi, optičnimi, digitalnimi ali podobnimi sredstvi, tako da so sporočene informacije dostopne za poznejše sklicevanje; »elektronski tovorni list« pomeni tovorni list, ki ga z elektronsko komunikacijo izda prevoznik, pošiljatelj ali katera koli druga stranka, ki je zainteresirana za izvajanje prevozne pogodbe, za katero se uporablja konvencija, vključno s podatki, ki so smiselno povezani z elektronsko komunikacijo s prilogami ali so z njo kako drugače povezani ob ali po njegovi izdaji, tako da postanejo del elektronskega tovornega lista; »elektronski podpis« pomeni podatke v elektronski obliki, ki so dodani k drugim elektronskim podatkom ali so smiselno povezani z njimi in so namenjeni preverjanju pristnosti.

1. Ob upoštevanju določb tega protokola se lahko tovorni list iz konvencije, pa tudi vsaka zahteva, izjava, navodilo, prošnja, pridržek ali druga komunikacija v zvezi z izvajanjem prevozne pogodbe, za katero se uporablja konvencija, izda z elektronsko komunikacijo. 2. Šteje se, da je elektronski tovorni list, ki je v skladu z določbami tega protokola, enakovreden tovornemu listu iz konvencije ter ima enako dokazno vrednost in enake učinke kot tovorni list iz konvencije.

1. Stranke prevozne pogodbe preverijo pristnost elektronskega tovornega lista z zanesljivim elektronskim podpisom, ki zagotavlja povezanost z elektronskim tovornim listom. Če se ne dokaže drugače, se domneva, da je način elektronskega podpisa zanesljiv, če je elektronski podpis: (a) povezan izključno s podpisnikom; (b) tak, da omogoča identifikacijo podpisnika; (c) ustvarjen s sredstvi, ki so izključno pod podpisnikovim nadzorom, in (d) povezan s podatki, na katere se nanaša, tako, da je mogoče zaznati vsako poznejšo spremembo teh podatkov. 2. Pristnost elektronskega tovornega lista se lahko preveri tudi s katerim koli drugim elektronskim načinom preverjanja pristnosti, ki ga dovoljuje zakonodaja države, v kateri je bil elektronski tovorni list izdan. 3. Podatki, ki jih vsebuje elektronski tovorni list, so dostopni vsem strankam, ki so do njih upravičene.

1. Elektronski tovorni list vsebuje enake podatke kot tovorni list iz konvencije. 2. Postopek, ki se uporablja za izdajo elektronskega tovornega lista, zagotavlja celovitost podatkov v njem od takrat, ko se elektronski list prvič ustvari v končni obliki. Podatki so celoviti, kadar ostanejo popolni in nespremenjeni, z izjemo dopolnitev ali sprememb, ki nastanejo pri običajni komunikaciji, shranjevanju in prikazu. 3. Podatki v elektronskem tovornem listu se lahko v primerih, ki jih dovoljuje konvencija, dopolnijo ali spremenijo. Postopek za dopolnjevanje ali spreminjanje elektronskega tovornega lista omogoča zaznavanje vsake dopolnitve ali spremembe elektronskega tovornega lista in ohranja izvirne podatke.

1. Stranke, ki so zainteresirane za izvajanje prevozne pogodbe, se zaradi skladnosti z zahtevami tega protokola in konvencije dogovorijo o postopkih in njihovem izvajanju, zlasti glede: (a) načina izdaje in dostave elektronskega tovornega lista upravičeni stranki; (b) zagotovila, da je elektronski tovorni list celovit; (c) načina, na katerega lahko stranka, upravičena do pravic, ki izhajajo iz elektronskega tovornega lista, izkaže svojo upravičenost; (d) načina izdaje potrdila o opravljeni dostavi prejemniku; (e) postopkov za dopolnjevanje ali spreminjanje elektronskega tovornega lista in (f) postopkov za morebitno zamenjavo elektronskega tovornega lista s tovornim listom, ki je izdan z drugimi sredstvi. 2. Postopki iz prvega odstavka se morajo navesti v elektronskem tovornem listu in morajo biti zlahka preverljivi.

1. Prevoznik pošiljatelju na njegovo zahtevo izroči potrdilo o prevzemu blaga in vse informacije, potrebne za identifikacijo pošiljke in dostop do elektronskega tovornega lista, na katerega se nanaša ta protokol. 2. Pošiljatelj lahko dokumente iz točke g drugega odstavka 6. člena in 11. člena konvencije predloži prevozniku v obliki elektronske komunikacije, če so ti dokumenti v tej obliki in so se stranke dogovorile o postopkih, ki omogočajo vzpostavitev povezave med temi dokumenti in elektronskim tovornim listom, na katerega se nanaša ta protokol, na način, ki zagotavlja njihovo celovitost.
