Razglašam Zakon o ratifikaciji Sporazuma med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Bolgarije o sodelovanju na področju veterinarske medicine (BBOSVM), ki ga je sprejel Državni zbor Republike Slovenije na seji 29. avgusta 2000.

Ratificira se Sporazum med Vlado Republike Slovenije in Vlado Republike Bolgarije o sodelovanju na področju veterinarske medicine, podpisan 30. junija 1998 v Sofiji.

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

Za razvoj in sodelovanje na področju veterinarske medicine in s posebnim poudarkom na preventivnih dejavnostih pri nadziranju kužnih bolezni in preprečevanju njihovega širjenja sta se Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Bolgarije (v nadaljevanju: pogodbenici) sporazumeli o naslednjem:

Za preprečevanje širitve kužnih bolezni in nadzora nad trgovanjem z živili živalskega izvora na ozemljih Slovenije in Bolgarije pogodbenici sodelujeta pri spremljanju izvoza, uvoza in tranzita živali, živil in surovin živalskega izvora.

Pristojni veterinarski organi pogodbenic pripravijo vse potrebne sporazume o pogojih izvoza, uvoza in tranzita živali, živil in surovin živalskega izvora.

1. Pristojni veterinarski organi pogodbenic se sporazumejo, da:
– se nemudoma obvestijo o vsakem žarišču bolezni, ki je navedena na seznamu A Kodeksa bolezni Mednarodnega urada za epizootije, in o boleznih, ki so se na ozemlju pogodbenice pojavile prvič ali ponovno po večletni odsotnosti;
– informacije o izbruhu omenjenih bolezni vsebujejo podatke o vrsti in številu okuženih živali, zemljepisni določitvi žarišča, uporabljeni diagnostični metodi in ukrepih, sprejetih za njihovo izkoreninjenje. Pri slinavki in parkljevki poleg drugih informacij sporočijo tudi tip izoliranega virusa;
– se v primeru izbruha kužne bolezni pogodbenici redno obveščata o gibanju te bolezni in sprejetih ukrepih za izkoreninjenje, dokler se bolezen ne izkorenini ali ni pod nadzorom;
– se pogodbenici na zahtevo ene pogodbenice obveščata tudi o boleznih s seznama B Kodeksa bolezni Mednarodnega urada za epizootije.
2. Če se ena od bolezni, omenjenih v prvem odstavku 3. člena, pojavi na ozemlju ene pogodbenice, si pogodbenici pomagata pri postavljanju diagnoze takšne bolezni in si na zahtevo pomagata pri izoliranju povzročitelja.
3. Pristojni veterinarski organi pogodbenic si redno izmenjujejo mesečne podatke o kužnih boleznih živali, ki se pojavijo na ozemlju obeh držav.
4. Pristojni veterinarski organi se medsebojno obveščajo o pogojih uvoza živali, živil in surovin živalskega izvora in odpadkov živalskega izvora ter o morebitnih spremembah in dopolnitvah. Veterinarska spričevala se izdajo v jezikih pogodbenic in tudi v angleščini.

Pristojni veterinarski organi pogodbenic se medsebojno obveščajo o novih dosežkih in uporabi veterinarskega znanja na področju veterinarske medicine, da bi preprečili in nadzirali kužne, parazitske in druge živalske bolezni.

Pogodbenici sodelujeta pri raziskovalnem delu na področju veterinarske medicine z izmenjavo znanja in izkušenj na dodiplomski in podiplomski stopnji:
– z izmenjavo strokovnjakov in znanstvenikov,
– s sodelovanjem med veterinarskimi raziskovalnimi ustanovami in diagnostičnimi laboratoriji,
– z izmenjavo publikacij in revij s področja veterinarske medicine,
– z medsebojnim obveščanjem o strokovnih srečanjih in izmenjavo veterinarske zakonodaje.

Veterinarski organi pogodbenic izmenično spremljajo in nadzirajo spoštovanje določb tega sporazuma.

Izmenjava podatkov, strokovnih revij in veterinarskih publikacij je brezplačna.

Če je potrebno, se predstavniki veterinarskih organov pogodbenic sestanejo neposredno in izmenjajo potrebne informacije. Za reševanje zapletenih strokovnih vprašanj lahko organizirajo posamezna srečanja in posvetovanja. Sporna vprašanja v zvezi z izvajanjem tega sporazuma se rešujejo z razgovori med pristojnimi veterinarskimi organi pogodbenic, ki lahko sprejmejo posebne ukrepe.

Veterinarsko-sanitarna konvencija med Zveznim izvršnim svetom Skupščine socialistične federativne republike Jugoslavije in Vlado Ljudske republike Bolgarije, podpisana v Skopju 21. marca 1986, preneha veljati v odnosih med Republiko Slovenijo in Republiko Bolgarijo z dnem, ko začne veljati ta sporazum.

Ta sporazum mora biti odobren v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo pogodbenic in začne veljati 30. dan od dne izmenjave diplomatskih not o njegovi odobritvi.
Ta sporazum se sklene za pet let in se samodejno podaljšuje za naslednja petletna obdobja, razen če ena od pogodbenic najkasneje šest mesecev pred iztekom tega obdobja pisno obvesti drugo pogodbenico, da ga namerava odpovedati.
