(p) the term “ratification“ shall mean ratification, acceptance or approval.

This Convention aims at facilitating the use in common of containers by members of a Pool, on the basis of equivalent compensation.

(b) under the agreement setting up the Pool, the Pool members:
(i) exchange among themselves containers in the course of international transport of goods;
(ii) keep records, for each type of container, showing the movement of containers so exchanged;
(iii) undertake to deliver to one another the number of containers of each type necessary to offset, over periods of 12 months, the outstanding balances of the accounts so kept, so as to ensure a balance for each Pool member between the number of containers of each type which he has placed at the disposal of the Pool and the number of Pool containers of these same types at his disposal in the territory of the Contracting Party in which he is established. The period of 12 months may be extended by the competent Customs authorities of that Contracting Party.

2. When the Pool agreement does not foresee the setting up of a Pool for the component parts used for the repair of the Pool containers, temporary admission without payment of import duties and taxes, and without application of import prohibitions or restrictions of economic character shall be granted to these component parts without the production of Customs documents being required on their importation and re-exportation and without the furnishing of a form of security.
When the provisions of the preceding paragraph cannot be applied, in lieu of a Customs document and security for spare parts, the person to whom the temporary admission facilities are granted may be required to undertake in writing:
(a) to supply to the Customs authorities a list of component parts with an undertaking to re-export; and
(b) to pay such import duties and taxes as may be required in the case where the conditions of temporary admission have not been fulfilled.

1. When the Pool agreement foresees the setting up of a Pool for identifiable accessories and equipment of containers, which are either imported with a container of the Pool to be re-exported separately or with another container of the Pool, or imported separately to be re-exported with a container of the Pool, articles 4, 5 (paragraphs 1, 2 and 3(b)) and 9 of this Convention shall apply mutatis mutandis to those accessories and equipment.
2. When the Pool agreement does not foresee the setting up of a Pool for the accessories and equipment of containers, which are either imported with a container of the Pool to be re-exported separately or with another container of the Pool, or imported separately to be re-exported with a container of the Pool:
(a) the provisions of article 6, paragraph 2, shall apply to these accessories and equipment;
(b) each Contracting Party reserves the right not to grant temporary admission to accessories and equipment which have been the subject of purchase, hire-purchase, lease or a contract of a similar nature concluded by a person resident or established in its territory;
(c) notwithstanding the requirement of the period for the re-exportation laid down in article 6, paragraph 2, which shall apply to accessories and equipment by virtue of point (a) of this article, seriously damaged accessories and equipment shall not be required to be re-exported provided that, in conformity with the regulations of the country concerned and as the Customs authorities of that country may authorize, they are:
(i) subjected to the import duties and taxes to which they are liable at the time when, and in the condition in which, they are presented;
(ii) abandoned, free of all expense, to the competent authorities of that country; or

(p) izraz “ratifikacija” pomeni ratifikacijo, sprejetje ali odobritev.

Cilj te konvencije je olajšati članom sklada skupno uporabo zabojnikov na podlagi enakovrednega nadomestila.

Vsaka pogodbenica bo omogočala dostop do zabojnikov, kot to omenja 3. člen te konvencije, brez plačila uvoznih dajatev in davščin, brez gospodarskih uvoznih prepovedi ali omejitev, brez omejitev za uporabo v notranjem prometu in ne da bi ob njihovem uvozu ali izvozu zahtevala carinske listine in varščino, če so izpolnjeni pogoji, določeni v 5. členu te konvencije.

1. Vsaka pogodbenica zagotavlja olajšave iz 4. člena te konvencije za zabojnike, ki se uporabljajo v skladu, če:

(b) člani sklada po sporazumu, s katerim se ustanovi sklad:
(i) izmenjajo med seboj zabojnike v mednarodnem prevozu blaga,
(ii) vodijo evidenco za vsako vrsto zabojnika, iz katere bo razviden promet tako izmenjanih zabojnikov,
(iii) prevzamejo obveznost, da bodo drug drugemu dostavili toliko zabojnikov vsake vrste, kot je potrebno za izravnavo neporavnanih obračunov za obdobje 12 mesecev, ki se tako vodijo, zato da se za vsakega člana sklada zagotovi ravnotežje med številom zabojnikov vsake vrste, ki ga je član dal na razpolago skladu, in številom zabojnikov sklada teh istih vrst, ki so mu na razpolago na ozemlju pogodbenice, v kateri ima svoj sedež. Obdobje 12 mesecev lahko podaljšajo pristojni carinski organi te pogodbenice.
2. Vsaka pogodbenica lahko odloči, ali morajo zabojniki, ki jih skladu daje na razpolago kateri koli član sklada s sedežem na njenem ozemlju, izpolnjevati pogoje v njeni zakonodaji za vstop in neomejeno uporabo v notranjem prometu na njenem ozemlju.
3. Določbe prvega odstavka tega člena veljajo samo, če:
(a) imajo zabojniki trajne in enkratne oznake, določene v sporazumu o skladu, ki omogočajo prepoznavanje zabojnika,
(b) je bil sporazum o skladu poslan carinskim organom pogodbenic, ti pa so potrdili njegovo skladnost z določbami te konvencije. Pristojni organi o svoji potrditvi obvestijo izvršilnega sekretarja Ekonomske komisije Združenih narodov za Evropo, sporočijo pa mu tudi imena pogodbenic. Izvršilni sekretar pošlje te informacije pogodbenicam, na katere se nanašajo.

1. Kadar sporazum o skladu predvideva ustanovitev sklada za razpoznavne sestavne dele, ki se uporabljajo za popravilo zabojnikov sklada tudi zanje mutatis mutandis veljajo 4. člen prvi in drugi odstavek ter pododstavek (b) tretjega odstavka 5. člena in 9. člen te konvencije.
2. Kadar sporazum o skladu ne predvideva ustanovitve sklada za sestavne dele, ki se uporabljajo za popravilo zabojnikov sklada, bo za te sestavne dele odobren začasni uvoz brez plačila uvoznih dajatev in davščin in brez uveljavljanja uvoznih prepovedi ali gospodarskih omejitev, brez predložitve carinskih listin, ki se zahtevajo za njihov uvoz in ponovni izvoz in ne da bi bilo treba priskrbeti kakršno koli varščino.
Kadar določb iz prejšnjega odstavka ni mogoče uporabiti, se mora oseba, ki se ji odobri začasni uvoz, namesto predložitve carinske listine in varščine za rezervne dele pisno zavezati:
(a) da bo carinskim organom dostavila seznam sestavnih delov in prevzela obveznost, da jih ponovno izvozi, in
(b) da bo plačala uvozne dajatve in davščine, ki se zahtevajo, če pogoji za začasni uvoz niso bili izpolnjeni.
Sestavni deli, ki jim je bil dovoljen začasni uvoz, in se ne uporabijo za popravilo, se ponovno izvozijo v šestih mesecih po datumu uvoza. Vendar pa ta rok lahko pristojni carinski organi podaljšajo.
3. Za zamenjane dele, ki se ponovno ne izvozijo, se v skladu s predpisi te države in če carinski organi te države dovolijo:
(a) plačajo uvozne dajatve in davščine, ki bi jih bilo treba plača takrat, ko so predloženi in za stanje, v katerem so predloženi;
