5.01 THE BANK shall inform THE GUARANTOR of any fact or event of which it becomes aware which is likely to jeopardise the payment or repayment by THE BORROWER of the sums hereby guaranteed: provided however that THE BANK is not bound to seek any such information and shall incur no liability by reason of this provision.

7.01 This Guarantee is independent of guarantees given to THE BANK by the EC. THE GUARANTOR hereby waives any right to contribution or indemnity from the EC. If payment is made to THE BANK by the EC on account of any guaranteed sum, the EC may recover from THE GUARANTOR the amount so paid by it.

this 18th day of January 1994, at Luxembourg.

Pursuant to the Regulation of the Council of the European Communities (now Council of the European Union) No 3180/78 of 18th December 1978, published in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 30th December 1978 (No L 379), as amended by Regulation of the Council No 2626/84 of 15th September 1984 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 16th September 1984 (No L 247) and by Regulation of the Council No 1971/89 of 19th June 1989 published in the Official Journal of the European Communities of 4th July 1989 (No L 189), and in particular its first Article, and in accordance with, the announcement published by the European Communities in the Official Journal of 21st September 1989 (No C 241), the ecu is defined as the sum of the following amounts of the currencies of the Member States of the EC:

+-------------------------+--------+
|German mark:             |0,6242  |
+-------------------------+--------+
|French franc:            | 1,332  |
+-------------------------+--------+
|pound Sterling:          |0,08784 |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Italian lira:            |151,8   |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Dutch guilder:           |0,2198  |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Belgian franc:           |3,301   |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Luxembourg franc:        |0,130   |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Spanish peseta:          |6,885   |
+-------------------------+--------+
|Danish krone:            |0,1976  |

|Greek drachma:           |1,440   |

|Portuguese escudo:       |1,393   |
+-------------------------+--------+

Any change in the composition of the ecu which is decided upon pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation No 380/78 shall apply automatically to the present definition.
If THE BANK should consider that the ecu shall have ceased to be used within the European Monetary System (as established by the Resolution of the European Council of 5th December 1978) and for the settlement of transactions between the central monetary authorities of the Member States of the European Communities and the institutions created by or by virtue of the treaties establishing the European Communities, it shall so notify THE BORROWER. As from the date of notification, the ecu shall be replaced by the amounts of the currencies of which it was composed according to the most recent definition of the ecu decided upon by the Council of the European Union before the date of such notification.
The value of the ecu in any currency shall correspond to that determined by the Commission of the European Communities on the basis of daily quotations of market exchange rates. In default of such a determination, the value of the ecu in any currency shall be fixed by applying the cross-rate between that currency and any currency listed in the daily tables published by the Commission of the European Communities. If neither of the two preceding methods is applicable, the value of the ecu in any currency shall be equal to the sum of the equivalents in that currency of the amounts of the currencies listed in the first paragraph above.
The exchange rates between the ecu and the national currencies most widely traded on the international foreign exchange markets are available daily and are published periodically in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Ta pogodba je sklenjena med: Republiko Slovenijo, ki jo zastopa g. Mitja Gaspari, minister za finance,
v nadaljevanju imenovana »GARANT«, na eni strani in
Evropsko investicijsko banko s sedežem v 100 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer, Luxembourg-Kirchberg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, ki jo zastopa g. Hans Duborg, podpredsednik,
v nadaljevanju imenovana »BANKA«, na drugi strani.
Preambula:
– V okviru protokola (v nadaljevanju imenovan »protokol«) v zvezi s finančnim sodelovanjem ter v okviru pogodbe o sodelovanju, sklenjene med Evropsko gospodarsko skupnostjo (sedaj Evropska skupnost) (v nadaljevanju imenovana »ES«) in Republiko Slovenijo, podpisane v Luksemburgu 5. aprila 1993, je GARANT zaprosil BANKO, da odobri posojilo Slovenskim železnicam (v nadaljevanju imenovane »POSOJILOJEMALEC«) za financiranje projekta, ki naj bi pomagal Sloveniji pri izboljšanju stanja osnovnega železniškega omrežja.
– S pogodbo (v nadaljevanju imenovana »POGODBA O FINANCIRANJU«) z dne 10./13. decembra 1993, sklenjeno med BANKO in POSOJILOJEMALCEM, je BANKA odobrila posojilo v vrednosti 9,000.000 (devet milijonov) ekujev (definicija v Dodatku A k tej pogodbi) v korist POSOJILOJEMALCA.
– Obveznosti BANKE po POGODBI O FINANCIRANJU so pogojene s tem, da Republika Slovenija predhodno izda in predloži garancijo za izpolnjevanje finančnih obveznosti s strani POSOJILOJEMALCA po POGODBI O FINANCIRANJU, kakor tudi ugodno pravno mnenje o le-tem.
– V 12. členu protokola se je GARANT zavezal, da bo dolžnikom, ki so koristniki posojil, odobrenih v skladu s protokolom, ali garantom teh posojil dal na razpolago valuto, potrebno za plačilo obresti in provizije ter za odplačilo teh posojil.
– V 10. členu protokola je GARANT soglašal, da bo obresti in vsa druga plačila, zapadla v zvezi s posojili, ki jih je odobrila BANKA v skladu s finančnim sodelovanjem, oprostil vseh državnih ali lokalnih taks ali davčnih bremen.
– Podpis te garancijske pogodbe je odobril parlament Republike Slovenije (Priloga 1).
Zato sta se stranki dogovorili, kot sledi:

1.01 GARANT izjavlja, da je dobro seznanjen s pogoji in določili POGODBE O FINANCIRANJU, katere original s podpisi strank je prejel.

2.01 GARANT kot primarni zavezanec in ne samo kot porok v celoti jamči za popolno in točno izpolnjevanje vseh finančnih obveznosti POSOJILOJEMALCA BANKI v skladu s POGODBO O FINANCIRANJU, vključno z vsemi plačili obresti brez kakršnihkoli omejitev, provizij, pripadajočih stroškov in drugih izdatkov ter vseh zneskov, ki jih dolguje POSOJILOJEMALEC BANKI v skladu z določili POGODBE O FINANCIRANJU, ko se garancija uveljavlja.
2.02 Če bi GARANT kasneje nudil jamstvo tretji stranki za izpolnjevanje katerekoli od svojih obveznosti zunanjega dolga, prioriteto ali ugodnosti s tem v zvezi, bo GARANT o tem obvestil BANKO in bo, če bo BANKA to zahtevala, nudil BANKI enakovredno jamstvo za izpolnjevanje svojih obveznosti po tej pogodbi ali enakovredno prioriteto ali ugodnosti. GARANT izjavlja, da trenutno ne obstajajo tako jamstvo, prioriteta ali ugodnosti.
Nič v tem členu 2.02 se ne nanaša na zastavo prodajalca ali na obremenitev, s katero je zavarovana samo nabavna cena zemljišča ali blaga.
2.03 GARANT se zavezuje:
a) da bo ukrenil vse potrebno za zagotovitev pravočasnega zaključka PROJEKTA;
b) da bi nudil informacije o zakonodaji ali predpisih za področje železnic, ki bi lahko vplivale na izvajanje PROJEKTA.

3.01 V skladu s to pogodbo je lahko zahtevek izdan, kakor hitro POSOJILOJEMALEC ne izpolni vseh obveznosti ali del le-teh, ki so garantirane v 2. členu te pogodbe.
3.02 GARANT se s tem nepreklicno odpoveduje ugovoru ali pravnemu ugovoru na celotno ali delno uveljavljanje te garancije. Zavezuje se, da bo izpolnil svoje obveznosti na zahtevo BANKE v pisni obliki ali po telegramu, kadarkoli bo BANKA ta zahtevek izdala, in da bo plačal dolgovane zneske brez omejitev, pridržkov ali pogojev, ne da bi bilo BANKI potrebno predložiti kako posebno dokazilo k svojemu zahtevku, razen da navede razlog za zahtevek po tej garanciji. Predvsem pa BANKA ni dolžna dokazovati, da je sprožila ukrepe proti POSOJILOJEMALCU; ni zavezana, da pred uveljavitvijo te garancije uveljavlja jamstva ali druga zavarovanja, ki jih je mogoče imenoval POSOJILOJEMALEC ali tretja stranka.
3.03 Plačilo GARANTA zapade na petnajsti dan po datumu zahtevka.
3.04 V primeru, da BANKA izda zahtevek, ima GARANT pravico, da v skladu s pogoji iz POGODBE O FINANCIRANJU POSOJILOJEMALCA takoj razreši vseh finančnih obveznosti iz POGODBE O FINANCIRANJU, ki še niso poravnane v času take razrešitve.

4.01 Ko GARANT izvede plačilo BANKI, nadomesti POSOJILOJEMALCA glede tega plačila ter pravic in postopkov v zvezi z omenjenim plačilom, ki jih ima BANKA do POSOJILOJEMALCA; ta pravica do subrogacije ne sme biti v škodo BANKE

5.01 BANKA bo obvestila GARANTA o vsaki zadevi ali dogodku, za katerega izve in ki bi lahko ogrozil plačilo ali poplačilo garantiranih zneskov s strani POSOJILOJEMALCA. Vendar pa BANKA ni zavezana iskati takih informacij in ne sprejema nobene obveznosti glede tega določila.
5.02 GARANT bo nemudoma obvestil BANKO o vsaki zadevi ali dogodku, ki bi lahko ogrozil izpolnjevanje njegovih obveznosti po tej pogodbi.
5.03 GARANT bo obvestil BANKO o vsakem jamstvu, ki ga bo nudil tretji stranki za namen iz člena 2.02.

6.01 BANKA bo obvestila GARANTA o spremembah, ki ne povečujejo obveznosti GARANTA, ki pa jih je BANKA vnesla v POGODBO O FINANCIRANJU z namenom izboljšati in utrditi položaj BANKE in POSOJILOJEMALCA.
Če se BANKI zdi primerno, ima pravico odobriti POSOJILOJEMALCU dodatni rok do treh mesecev za vsako odplačilo glavnice ali plačilo obresti in za vse druge sorodne izdatke, ne da bi morala to svojo odločitev sporočiti GARANTU.
Vse spremembe v POGODBI O FINANCIRANJU, razen tistih, ki so omenjene v gornjih odstavkih tega 6. člena, je treba predložiti v odobritev GARANTU. Ta sme odkloniti odobritev samo, če bi bile predlagane spremembe lahko neugodne zanj kot GARANTA.

7.01 Ta garancija je neodvisna od garancij, ki jih je BANKI odobrila ES. GARANT se odpoveduje vsaki pravici do prispevkov ali odškodnine s strani ES. Če BANKI poravna plačilo ES na račun kateregakoli garantiranega zneska, lahko ES ta plačani znesek izterja od GARANTA.

8.01 Davke ali takse, pravne stroške in druge izdatke, ki bi nastali pri izvajanju te garancijske pogodbe, plača GARANT. GARANT izvede plačila po tej pogodbi brez odbitkov ali pridržkov na račun davkov ali taks.

9.04 Odpoved pravicam
Pogodbeni stranki soglašata, da je ta garancijska pogodba komercialne narave in se zato zavezujeta, da se bosta odpovedali vsaki imuniteti, ki jo mogoče uživata zdaj ali bi jo kasneje uživali v katerikoli državi na podlagi pristojnosti sodišča Evropskih skupnosti.
9.05 Dokazila o dolgovanih zneskih
V primeru sodnega spora v zvezi s to garancijsko pogodbo pomeni potrdilo BANKE o zneskih, ki se še dolgujejo BANKI po tej garancijski pogodbi, prima facie dokaz o teh zneskih.

V Luksemburgu, 18. januarja 1994.

V skladu z odredbo Sveta Evropskih skupnosti (zdaj Svet Evropske unije) št. 3180/78 z dne 18. decembra 1978, objavljeno v Uradnem listu Evropskih skupnosti z dne 30. decembra 1978 (št. L 379) in dopolnjeno z odredbo Sveta št. 2626/84 z dne 15. septembra 1984, objavljeno v Uradnem listu Evropskih skupnosti z dne 16. septembra 1984 (št. L 247), ter v skladu z odredbo Sveta št. 1971/89 z dne 19. junija 1989, objavljeno v Uradnem listu Evropskih skupnosti z dne 4. julija 1989 (št. L 189), predvsem pa v skladu s prvim členom in z razglasom, ki so ga Evropske skupnosti objavile v Uradnem listu 21. septembra 1989 (št. C 241), je eku definiran kot vsota naslednjih vrednosti valut držav članic ES:

+---------------------+--------+
|nemška marka:        |0,6242  |
+---------------------+--------+
|francoski frank:     |1,332   |
+---------------------+--------+
|funt sterling:       |0,08784 |
+---------------------+--------+
|italijanska lira:    |151,8   |
+---------------------+--------+
|nizozemski forint:   |0,2198  |
+---------------------+--------+
|belgijski frank:     |3,301   |
+---------------------+--------+
|luksemburški frank:  |0,130   |
+---------------------+--------+
|španska pezeta:      |6,885   |
+---------------------+--------+
|danska krona:        |0,1976  |
+---------------------+--------+
|irski funt:          |0,008552|
+---------------------+--------+
|grška drahma:        |1,440   |
+---------------------+--------+
|portugalski eskudo:  |1,393   |
+---------------------+--------+

Vsaka sprememba v sestavi ekuja, o kateri je sprejeta odločitev v skladu z 2. členom odredbe št. 3180/78, velja avtomatično skupaj s sedanjo definicijo.
Če bi bila BANKA mnenja, da se je eku nehal uporabljati znotraj evropskega monetarnega sistema (ki je bil oblikovan z resolucijo Evropskega sveta z dne 5. decembra 1978) in za poravnavo transakcij med osrednjimi monetarnimi organi držav članic Evropskih skupnosti in institucijami, ki so bile oblikovane na podlagi sporazumov o ustanovitvi Evropskih skupnosti, bo o tem obvestila POSOJILOJEMALCA. Od dne obvestila dalje bodo eku nadomestile vrednosti valut, iz katerih je bil sestavljen, v skladu z najnovejšo definicijo ekuja, o kateri je sprejel sklep Svet Evropske skupnosti pred datumom tega obvestila.
Vrednost ekuja v drugi valuti bo ustrezala vrednosti, ki jo je določila komisija Evropskih skupnosti na podlagi dnevnih vrednosti na deviznem tečajnem trgu. Če take odločitve ne bi bilo, se vrednost ekuja v drugi valuti določi z uporabo križnega tečaja med to valuto in drugo valuto, navedeno na dnevnih tečajnih listah, ki jih objavlja komisija Evropskih skupnosti. Če ni mogoče uporabiti nobene od zgornjih dveh metod, je vrednost ekuja v drugi valuti enaka vsoti protivrednosti zneskov valut iz prvega odstavka zgoraj v tej valuti.
Tečaji med ekujem in nacionalnimi valutami, ki se najbolj pogosto uporabljajo na mednarodnih deviznih trgih, so dnevno na razpolago in se periodično objavljajo v Uradnem listu Evropskih skupnosti.

Slovenske železnice Ljubljana sklenejo z Ministrstvom za finance pogodbo o načinu in pogojih zavarovanja poroštva Republike Slovenije. S pogodbo se uredijo viri za vračilo zneskov, plačanih iz naslova poroštva, instrumenti zavarovanja in realizacije terjatev ter način urejanja odnosov v primeru statusnih sprememb.

Za izvajanje sporazuma skrbi ministrstvo, pristojno za finance.

Ta zakon začne veljati naslednji dan po objavi v Uradnem listu Republike Slovenije – Mednarodne pogodbe.
