Razglašam Zakon o ratifikaciji Sporazuma med Republiko Slovenijo in Kraljevino Španijo o zračnem prometu (BESZP), ki ga je sprejel Državni zbor Republike Slovenije na seji 29. februarja 2000.

Ratificira se Sporazum med Republiko Slovenijo in Kraljevino Španijo o zračnem prometu, podpisan dne 15. julija 1998 v Madridu.

Sporazum se v izvirniku v slovenskem in angleškem jeziku glasi:*

Republika Slovenija in Kraljevina Španija, v nadaljevanju imenovani pogodbenici,
kot pogodbenici Konvencije o mednarodnem civilnem letalstvu, odprte za podpis v Chicagu 7. decembra 1944,
sta se v želji, da bi pospešili razvoj zračnega prometa med državama in da bi čim bolj pospešili mednarodno sodelovanje na tem področju,
dogovorili o naslednjem:

1. Za namen razlage in uporabe tega sporazuma imajo posamezni izrazi, razen če ni drugače dogovorjeno, tale pomen:

Vključuje tudi pogoje, ki vplivajo na veljavnost cene prevoza in plačilo provizije;
i) izraz zmogljivost pomeni v zvezi z zrakoplovom razpoložljivost sedežev in/ali tovora tega zrakoplova; v zvezi z dogovorjenim prometom pa pomeni zmogljivost zrakoplova, ki se uporablja v tem prometu, pomnoženo s številom frekvenc, ki jih ta zrakoplov opravi v vsaki sezoni na eni progi ali na delu te proge.

1. Razen če ni v prilogi drugače določeno, prizna vsaka pogodbenica drugi pogodbenici, z namenom da bi njenim določenim prevoznikom omogočila opravljanje rednega mednarodnega zračnega prometa, naslednje pravice:
a) pravico do preleta ozemlja druge pogodbenice brez pristanka;
b) pravico do pristanka na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v nekomercialne namene;
c) pravico do pristanka na ozemlju druge pogodbenice v krajih, ki so navedeni v pregledu prog v prilogi tega sporazuma, z namenom da tam vkrcajo ali izkrcajo potnike, tovor in pošto – skupaj ali posamično – v mednarodnem prometu, ki je namenjen na ozemlje druge pogodbenice ali izhaja z njega.
2. Tudi drugi prevozniki pogodbenic, razen tistih, ki so določeni v 3. členu, bodo imeli pravice, ki so navedene v odstavkih 1a) in 1b) tega člena.
3. Nobeno določilo tega sporazuma ne daje pravice določenim prevoznikom ene pogodbenice, da na ozemlju druge pogodbenice opravljajo kabotažo.

1. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico, da za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa na progah, določenih v prilogi, določi enega ali več prevoznikov in da o tem pisno obvesti drugo pogodbenico kakor tudi da z drugim prevoznikom nadomesti prvotno določenega.
2. Po prejemu takega obvestila bo druga pogodbenica v skladu z določili 3. in 4. odstavka tega člena brez odlašanja izdala določenim prevoznikom ustrezno dovoljenje za opravljanje prometa.
3. Pristojni organ ene pogodbenice lahko od prevoznikov, ki jih je določila druga pogodbenica, zahteva, naj dokažejo, da izpolnjujejo pogoje, določene v zakonih in predpisih, ki jih pristojni organ v skladu s konvencijo običajno in razumno uporablja pri opravljanju mednarodnega zračnega prometa.
4. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico odkloniti izdajo dovoljenja za opravljanje prometa iz 2. odstavka tega člena ali določiti pogoje, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni, da jih določeni prevoznik izpolnjuje pri uresničevanju pravic iz II. člena tega sporazuma, če nima dokazov, da sta pretežno lastništvo in dejanski nadzor nad prevoznikom v rokah pogodbenice, ki je določila prevoznika, ali njenih državljanov.
5. Ko je prevoznik tako določen in dobi dovoljenje, sme kadarkoli začeti opravljati dogovorjeni promet, če za ta promet veljajo tarife, določene v skladu z določilom VII. člena tega sporazuma.

1. Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico preklicati dovoljenje za opravljanje prometa ali začasno ustaviti uresničevanje pravic, določenih v II. členu tega sporazuma, prevozniku, ki ga je določila druga pogodbenica, ali mu določiti take pogoje, ki se ji zdijo za izvrševanje teh pravic potrebni, če:
a) nima zadostnih dokazov, da sta pretežno lastništvo in dejanski nadzor nad tem prevoznikom v rokah pogodbenice, ki je prevoznika določila, ali njenih državljanov, ali
b) prevoznik ne spoštuje zakonov in predpisov pogodbenice, ki te pravice daje, ali
c) prevoznik sicer ne opravlja dogovorjenega prometa pod pogoji, določenimi v tem sporazumu.
2. Razen če so takojšen preklic, začasna razveljavitev ali določitev pogojev iz 1. odstavka tega člena nujni za preprečitev nadaljnjih kršitev zakonov in predpisov, se bo ta pravica uporabila šele po posvetovanju z drugo pogodbenico.

1. Zrakoplovi, ki jih določeni prevozniki katerekoli pogodbenice uporabljajo v mednarodnem zračnem prometu, kakor tudi njihova običajna oprema, zaloge goriva in maziva ter druge zaloge (vključno s hrano, pijačo in tobakom), ki so na njih, so po prihodu na ozemlje druge pogodbenice oproščeni vseh carinskih in drugih dajatev ali taks, če taka oprema in zaloge ostanejo na zrakoplovu, dokler niso ponovno izvožene.
2. Omenjenih dajatev in taks, razen stroškov za opravljene storitve, so oproščeni tudi:
a) zaloge na zrakoplovu, vkrcane na ozemlju katerekoli pogodbenice, v količinah, ki jih določijo organi te pogodbenice in so namenjene za uporabo v mednarodnem zračnem prometu v zrakoplovih druge pogodbenice;
b) rezervni deli, pripeljani na ozemlje ene pogodbenice, za vzdrževanje ali popravilo zrakoplovov, ki jih v mednarodnem zračnem prometu uporabljajo določeni prevozniki druge pogodbenice;
c) gorivo in maziva, ki jih v mednarodnem zračnem prometu uporabljajo določeni prevozniki druge pogodbenice, tudi če bodo te zaloge uporabljene na delu poti nad ozemljem pogodbenice, kjer so bile vkrcane;
d) zaloge tiskanih vozovnic, letalski tovorni listi, vse tiskovine z znakom družbe in običajno reklamno gradivo, ki ga določeni prevozniki brezplačno delijo;
e) prtljaga in tovor v direktnem tranzitu.
Za predmete, o katerih je govor v zgornjih točkah a), b), c), d) in e), se lahko zahteva, da so pod carinskim varstvom ali nadzorom.
3. Običajna oprema v zrakoplovu kakor tudi predmeti in zaloge, ki so v zrakoplovu katerekoli pogodbenice, so lahko izkrcani na ozemlju druge pogodbenice le z odobritvijo carinskih organov na ozemlju te pogodbenice. V takem primeru so lahko pod nadzorom teh organov, dokler niso ponovno izvoženi ali drugače porabljeni v skladu s carinskimi predpisi.
4. Oprostitve iz tega člena se uporabljajo pod enakimi pogoji iz 2. odstavka tega člena v primeru, da določeni prevozniki ene ali druge pogodbenice sklenejo dogovor z drugim prevoznikom ali prevozniki za najem ali prevoz predmetov, naštetih v 1. in 2. odstavku tega člena, na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, če ta druga pogodbenica daje prevozniku ali prevoznikom podobne pravice.

Vsaka pogodbenica lahko uvede ali dovoli, da se za prevoznike druge pogodbenice uvedejo upravičene in razumne takse za uporabo javnih letališč, naprav in navigacijskih sredstev, ki so pod njenim nadzorom, če omenjene takse ne presegajo taks za uporabo letališč in storitev, ki veljajo za domača letala v podobnem mednarodnem prometu.

1. Tarife, ki jih bodo zaračunavali določeni prevozniki ene pogodbenice za prevoz na ozemlje in z ozemlja druge pogodbenice, bodo določene na primernih ravneh, pri čemer bo zadostna pozornost posvečena vsem pomembnim dejavnikom, vključno s poslovnimi stroški, zahtevami uporabnikov, razumnim dobičkom in tarifami drugih prevoznikov.
2. O tarifah iz 1. odstavka tega člena se bodo, če je mogoče, določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic dogovorili po posvetovanju z drugimi prevozniki, ki opravljajo promet na tej progi ali na njenem delu. Ta sporazum se bo, kadarkoli bo mogoče, dosegel po postopku za določanje tarif Mednarodnega združenja letalskih prevoznikov.
3. Tako dogovorjene tarife je treba predložiti v odobritev pristojnim organom obeh pogodbenic najmanj petinštirideset (45) dni pred predlaganim dnem njihove uveljavitve. V posebnih primerih se ta rok lahko skrajša v sporazumu s pristojnimi organi.
4. Odobritev je lahko izrecna. Če nobeden od pristojnih organov ne izrazi svojega nestrinjanja v tridesetih (30) dneh od dneva, ko so bile tarife predložene v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, se bo štelo, da so tarife odobrene. Če bi bil rok za njihovo predložitev skrajšan, kot je to predvideno v 3. odstavku tega člena, se lahko pristojna organa dogovorita, da je rok, v katerem je treba sporočiti nestrinjanje, ustrezno krajši.
5. Če se o tarifi ni mogoče dogovoriti v skladu z določilom 2. odstavka tega člena ali če je v roku iz 4. odstavka tega člena pristojni organ sporočil svoje nestrinjanje s katerokoli tarifo, o kateri je bilo dogovorjeno v skladu z 2. odstavkom, si bosta pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic prizadevala za sporazumno določitev tarife.
6. Če se pristojna organa ne moreta dogovoriti o tarifi, ki jima je bila predložena v skladu s 3. odstavkom tega člena, ali o določitvi tarife v skladu s 5. odstavkom tega člena, bo spor razrešen v skladu z določili XIX. člena tega sporazuma.
7. Tarifa, določena v skladu z določili tega člena, velja, dokler ne bo določena nova tarifa. V nobenem primeru pa ne bo veljavnost tarife podaljšana za dlje kot dvanajst (12) mesecev od prvotno določenega datuma prenehanja njene veljavnosti.
8. Pristojna organa obeh pogodbenic si bosta po najboljših močeh prizadevala, da bi zagotovila, da bodo določeni prevozniki spoštovali dogovorjene tarife, registrirane pri pristojnih organih obeh pogodbenic, in da noben prevoznik ne bo na noben način neposredno ali posredno neupravičeno zmanjševal nobenega deleža teh tarif.

1. Določeni prevozniki obeh pogodbenic bodo imeli pravico, da imajo po načelu reciprocitete na ozemlju druge pogodbenice svoje podružnice in predstavništva kakor tudi trgovsko, operativno in tehnično osebje, ki jih potrebujejo za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa.
2. Zahteve po osebju lahko določeni prevozniki po svoji izbiri zadovoljijo s svojim osebjem ali s storitvami kakšne druge organizacije, družbe ali prevoznika, ki delujejo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice in so pooblaščeni za opravljanje teh storitev na njenem ozemlju.
3. Za omenjena predstavništva in osebje bodo veljali zakoni in predpisi, ki veljajo na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice. V skladu s temi zakoni in predpisi jim bo vsaka pogodbenica po načelu reciprocitete in brez odlašanja izdala potrebna delovna dovoljenja, vstopne vizume ali druge podobne dokumente.
4. Če bi posebne okoliščine zahtevale nujen in začasen vstop ali bivanje osebja, mu bo pogodbenica dovoljenja, vizume in dokumente, ki so potrebni v skladu z njenimi zakoni in predpisi, nemudoma izdala, da ne bi zavlačevala vstopa takega osebja v zadevno državo.
5. Določeni prevozniki vsake pogodbenice smejo na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, če je to v skladu z zakoni in s pogojem reciprocitete, sami zagotavljati storitve zemeljske oskrbe letal in potnikov.

1. Zakoni in predpisi pogodbenice, ki urejajo prihod zrakoplovov, ki opravljajo mednarodni zračni promet, na njeno ozemlje, odhod z njenega ozemlja ali ki se nanašajo na uporabo zrakoplovov dokler so na njenem ozemlju, se bodo uporabljali tudi za zrakoplove določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice.
2. Zakoni in predpisi pogodbenice, ki se nanašajo na prihod potnikov, posadke, prtljage, pošte in tovora na njeno ozemlje, zadrževanje na njem ali odhod z njega, kakor tudi predpisi, ki urejajo pogoje za vstop in odhod iz države, priseljevanje, carinske in sanitarne postopke bodo na tem ozemlju veljali tudi za določene prevoznike druge pogodbenice.
3. Če ne bo zaradi razlogov varnosti drugače zahtevano, bo za potnike, prtljago in tovor v direktnem tranzitu čez ozemlje pogodbenice in ki ne zapustijo za to določenega območja letališča, veljal le enostavni nadzor.
4. Nobena pogodbenica nima pravice svojim prevoznikom v primerjavi z določenimi prevozniki druge pogodbenice dajati kakršnekoli prednosti pri uporabi zakonov in predpisov iz tega člena.

Zaradi vojaških razlogov ali razlogov javne varnosti ima pogodbenica pravico, da omeji ali prepove zrakoplovom določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice lete nad določenimi območji svojega ozemlja, če iste omejitve ali prepovedi veljajo tudi za zrakoplove določenih prevoznikov prve pogodbenice in za zrakoplove prevoznikov drugih držav, ki opravljajo redni mednarodni zračni promet.

1. Spričevala o plovnosti, spričevala o sposobnosti in dovoljenja, ki jih izda ali potrdi ena pogodbenica, bo, dokler so veljavna, pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa na progah, določenih v prilogi tega sporazuma, priznavala tudi druga pogodbenica, če so bila ta spričevala in dovoljenja izdana ali potrjena v skladu z enakimi ali višjimi standardi, kot jih določa konvencija.
2. Vsaka pogodbenica pa si pridržuje pravico, da za preletanje nad svojim ozemljem ne prizna spričeval o sposobnosti in dovoljenj, ki jih je druga pogodbenica izdala njenim državljanom.

1. V skladu s pravicami in obveznostmi po mednarodnem pravu pogodbenici ponovno potrjujeta, da je medsebojna obveznost varovanja civilnega zračnega prometa pred nezakonitimi dejanji sestavni del tega sporazuma. Brez omejevanja svojih pravic in obveznosti po mednarodnem pravu bosta pogodbenici še posebej ravnali v skladu z določili Konvencije o kaznivih dejanjih in določenih drugih dejanjih, storjenih na letalih, podpisane v Tokiu 14. septembra 1963, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonite ugrabitve zrakoplovov, podpisane v Haagu 16. decembra 1970, Konvencije o zatiranju nezakonitih dejanj zoper varnost civilnega letalstva, podpisane v Montrealu 23. septembra 1971, in njenega dopolnilnega Protokola o zatiranju nezakonitih nasilnih dejanj na letališčih za mednarodno civilno zrakoplovstvo, podpisanega v Montrealu 24. februarja 1988.
2. Pogodbenici si bosta na zahtevo medsebojno pomagali, da bi preprečili nezakonite ugrabitve civilnih zrakoplovov in druga nezakonita dejanja proti varnosti takih zrakoplovov, njihovih potnikov in posadk, letališč in navigacijskih naprav ter vsako drugo ogrožanje varnosti civilne zračne plovbe.
3. Pogodbenici bosta v medsebojnih odnosih ravnali v skladu z določili Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva o varnosti civilne zračne plovbe, ki so opredeljena v prilogah konvencije, v tisti meri, v kateri ta določila veljajo za pogodbenici; pogodbenici bosta zahtevali od letalskih družb, ki so vpisane v njunem registru ali ki opravljajo pretežni del svojih dejavnosti ali imajo sedež na njunem ozemlju, ter od letaliških podjetij na svojem ozemlju, da delujejo v skladu s takimi varnostnimi predpisi.
4. Pogodbenici se strinjata, da morajo navedene letalske družbe spoštovati letalske varnostne predpise, navedene v 3. odstavku tega člena, ki jih zahteva druga pogodbenica za vstop, odhod oziroma dokler so letala na ozemlju te druge pogodbenice. Vsaka pogodbenica zagotavlja, da se bodo na njenem ozemlju učinkovito izvajali primerni ukrepi za zavarovanje letal in za pregled potnikov, posadke, ročne prtljage, prtljage, tovora in zalog na letalu pred in med vkrcavanjem ali natovarjanjem. Pogodbenici bosta z naklonjenostjo obravnavali vsako zahtevo druge pogodbenice za uvedbo razumnih varnostnih ukrepov zaradi neposredne grožnje.
5. Ob nezakoniti ugrabitvi ali grožnji z ugrabitvijo oziroma drugih nezakonitih dejanjih proti varnosti zrakoplovov, potnikov in posadke, letališč ali navigacijskih naprav bosta pogodbenici pomagali druga drugi, s tem da bosta poskrbeli za komunikacije in druge ustrezne ukrepe, da bi se čim hitreje in varno končal tak incident ali grožnja.

1. Na vzajemni podlagi in brez razlikovanja prevoznikov, ki opravljajo mednarodni promet, bodo določeni prevozniki pogodbenice imeli pravico prodajati svoje prevozne storitve na ozemlju obeh pogodbenic, in sicer neposredno ali po agentih, ter v katerikoli valuti v skladu z zakoni, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenice.
2. Določeni prevozniki pogodbenice bodo imeli pravico, da z ozemlja prodaje na domače ozemlje prosto transferirajo na ozemlju prodaje ustvarjene presežke prejemkov nad izdatki. V tak neto transfer bodo vključeni prihodki od prodaje storitev zračnega prevoza, doseženi neposredno ali po agentih, in od spremljajočih ali dodatnih storitev kakor tudi običajne komercialne obresti na take prihodke za čas, ko naloženi v bankah čakajo na transfer.
3. Taka nakazila se ne bodo opravljala na škodo kakršnihkoli finančnih obveznosti, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenic.
4. Prevozniki, ki jih je določila pogodbenica, bodo brez odlašanja dobili ustrezno dovoljenje, da pravočasno opravijo nakazila v prosto konvertibilnih valutah po uradnem menjalnem tečaju na dan zahteve.
5. Če bo sklenjen sporazum med pogodbenicama, ki bo urejal to področje, bodo veljale njegove ustrezne določbe.

1. Vsaka pogodbenica na vzajemni podlagi oprosti določene prevoznike druge pogodbenice vseh davkov in prispevkov na dobiček in zaslužek, pridobljena pri opravljanju zračnega prometa, če pri tem niso kršene formalne obveznosti, ki jih predpiše vsaka pogodbenica.
2. Ko bo pričel veljati sporazum o izogibanju dvojnemu obdavčevanju, se bodo upoštevale njegove določbe.

1. Določeni prevozniki pogodbenic bodo imeli primerne in enake možnosti za opravljanje dogovorjenega prometa na določenih progah.
2. Cilj dogovorjenega prometa na vsaki progi, določeni v prilogi tega sporazuma, bo zagotavljanje zmogljivosti, primerne za opravljanje prometa, ki izhaja ali je namenjen na ozemlje pogodbenice, ki je določila prevoznike.
3. Pri opravljanju dogovorjenega prometa bodo določeni prevozniki pogodbenic upoštevali interese določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice, da ne bi neupravičeno ogrožali prometa, ki ga slednji opravljajo na celotni ali delu istih prog.
4. Nobena pogodbenica ne bo enostransko omejila poslovanja določenih prevoznikov druge pogodbenice, razen v skladu z določili tega sporazuma ali z enotnimi pogoji, ki bi bili določeni s konvencijo.

Pristojni organ vsake pogodbenice bo pristojnemu organu druge pogodbenice na njegovo zahtevo dal informacije in statistične podatke o prometu, ki ga določeni prevozniki pogodbenice opravijo v dogovorjenem prometu na ozemlje ali z ozemlja druge pogodbenice. Podatki in informacije bodo dani v obliki, v kateri so jih določeni prevozniki pripravili in predložili svojemu nacionalnemu pristojnemu organu. O kakršnihkoli dodatnih statističnih podatkih, ki se nanašajo na promet in ki bi jih pristojni organ zahteval od drugega, se bosta pristojna organa na zahtevo katerekoli pogodbenice dogovorila.

Vsaka pogodbenica lahko kadarkoli zahteva posvetovanja o uresničevanju, razlagi ali uporabi tega sporazuma. Taka posvetovanja med pristojnima organoma se bodo pričela v šestdesetih dneh, potem ko druga pogodbenica prejme pisno zahtevo, razen če se pogodbenici ne sporazumeta drugače.

1. Če katerakoli pogodbenica želi spremeniti kakšno izmed določil tega sporazuma, lahko drugi pogodbenici predlaga posvetovanja. Taka posvetovanja med pristojnima organoma, ki so lahko v obliki razgovorov ali dopisovanja, se bodo začela v šestdesetih (60) dneh po prejemu zahteve.
Vsaka tako dogovorjena sprememba bo pričela veljati šele, ko bo potrjena z izmenjavo diplomatskih not.
2. O spremembah priloge k temu sporazumu se lahko pristojna organa pogodbenic dogovorita neposredno in jih potrdita z izmenjavo diplomatskih not.
3. Če bo sklenjena splošna mednarodna konvencija o zračnem prometu, ki bi zavezovala obe pogodbenici, bo ta sporazum ustrezno spremenjen, da bo v skladu z določili take konvencije.

1. Če pride med pogodbenicama do spora pri razlagi ali uresničevanju tega sporazuma, si bosta zlasti prizadevali, da bi ga rešili z neposrednimi medsebojnimi pogajanji.
2. Če pogodbenici ne moreta doseči sporazuma s pogajanji, lahko spor na zahtevo katerekoli pogodbenice predložita v odločitev arbitražnemu sodišču treh razsodnikov, od katerih vsaka pogodbenica imenuje enega, tretjega razsodnika pa tako imenovana. Vsaka pogodbenica bo svojega razsodnika imenovala v šestdesetih (60) dneh, potem ko od druge pogodbenice prejme diplomatsko noto z zahtevo po arbitražnem reševanju spora. Tretji razsodnik bo imenovan v naslednjih šestdesetih (60) dneh po imenovanju drugega razsodnika. Tretji razsodnik bo državljan tretje države in bo deloval kot predsednik razsodišča. Določil bo, kje bo razsodišče zasedalo. Če katera od pogodbenic v za to določenem roku ne imenuje svojega razsodnika, lahko katerakoli pogodbenica zahteva od predsednika sveta Mednarodne organizacije civilnega letalstva, da določi razsodnika ali razsodnike, kot bo primer narekoval. V takem primeru bo tretji razsodnik državljan tretje države in bo deloval kot predsednik razsodišča.
3. Razsodišče določi svoj postopek. Vsaka pogodbenica bo krila stroške svojega razsodnika. Preostale stroške arbitražnega sodišča krijeta pogodbenici v enakih deležih.
4. Pogodbenici se obvezujeta, da bosta spoštovali vsako odločitev, ki jo bo na podlagi 2. odstavka tega člena sprejel predsednik razsodišča.

Ta sporazum, vključno z njegovimi spremembami, bo registriran pri Mednarodni organizaciji civilnega letalstva.

1. Ta sporazum bo pričel veljati, ko bosta pogodbenici druga drugo z izmenjavo diplomatskih not obvestili, da so izpolnjene njune ustavne zahteve za njegovo uveljavitev.
2. Vsaka pogodbenica lahko kadarkoli po diplomatski poti sporoči drugi pogodbenici svojo odločitev, da odpoveduje ta sporazum. Tako sporočilo bo hkrati poslano Mednarodni organizaciji civilnega letalstva. V takem primeru bo sporazum prenehal veljati dvanajst (12) mesecev po dnevu, ko druga pogodbenica prejme sporočilo o odpovedi, razen če je sporočilo sporazumno umaknjeno pred potekom tega roka. Če druga pogodbenica ne potrdi prejema sporočila o odpovedi, se šteje, da ga je prejela štirinajst (14) dni po dnevu, ko ga je prejela Mednarodna organizacija civilnega letalstva.
V potrditev dogovorjenega sta podpisana, ki sta imela za to ustrezno pooblastilo svojih vlad, podpisala ta sporazum.
Sestavljeno v dveh izvirnikih v Madridu dne 15.7. leta 1998 v slovenskem, španskem in angleškem jeziku, pri čemer so vsa besedila enako verodostojna. Ob morebitnem neskladju pri razlagi bo odločilno besedilo v angleškem jeziku.
