(3) Oprostitev iz prvega odstavka tega člena, ne velja za davke in dajatve, vključene v ceni goriva ali cestninah ali dajatvah za uporabo določenih mostov, predorov, trajektov, cest, cestnih odsekov ali kategorij cest.

Zamenjani rezervni deli se ponovno izvozijo ali uničijo pod nazorom pristojnih carinskih organov druge pogodbenice.

Nič v tem sporazumu ne dovoljuje prevozniku, ki je pooblaščen na ozemlju ene pogodbenice za prevzem potnikov ali blaga v kraju na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, da bi potnike odložil ali blago oddal v katerem koli drugem kraju na tem ozemlju.

Če v sporazumih med pogodbenicama, vključno s tem sporazumom, ni drugače določeno,
(a) prevozniki in vozniki ene pogodbenice in potniška vozila, opredeljena v drugem odstavku 1. člena tega sporazuma, ter tovorna vozila, opredeljena v tretjem odstavku 1. člena tega sporazuma, kadar so na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, upoštevajo notranje zakone in predpise o cestnih prevozih in cestnem prometu, ki veljajo na tistem ozemlju;
(b) nobena od pogodbenic potniškim ali tovornim vozilom druge pogodbenice ne sme naložiti strožjih pogojev, kot so pogoji, ki jih notranji zakoni in predpisi nalagajo njenim lastnim vozilom.

(1) Če vozilo ali voznik ene pogodbenice, ko je na ozemlju druge pogodbenice, krši določbe tega sporazuma, lahko pristojni organ pogodbenice, na ozemlju katere je bila kršitev storjena (brez vpliva na kakršne koli zakonske sankcije, ki jih sodišča ali organi preiskave in pregona tiste pogodbenice lahko uporabijo), od pristojnega organa druge pogodbenice zahteva,
(a) da takem prevozniku izreče opomin,
(b) da izreče tak opomin skupaj z uradnim obvestilom, da bodo ob nadaljnjih kršitvah vozila, ki pripadajo prevozniku ali jih ta upravlja, začasno ali dokončno izključena iz prometa na ozemlju pogodbenice, v kateri je bila kršitev storjena, ali
(c) da izda obvestilo o taki izključitvi.
(2) Pristojni organ ravna v skladu z zahtevkom, ki ga je prejel, in čim prej obvesti o sprejetih ukrepih pristojni organ druge pogodbenice.

Na zahtevo enega ali drugega pristojnega organa se predstavniki obeh pogodbenic sestajajo kot skupni odbor, da pregledujejo izvajanje sporazuma.

(1) Ta sporazum začne veljati, ko se pogodbenici medsebojno uradno obvestita, da so izpolnjene notranjepravne zahteve, ki se nanašajo na začetek veljavnosti mednarodnih sporazumov. Sporazum začne veljati trideseti dan po datumu kasnejšega od teh dveh uradnih obvestil.
(2) Ta sporazum velja eno leto po začetku njegove veljavnosti. Po tem velja še naprej, če ga ena ali druga pogodbenica pisno ne odpove s šestmesečnim odpovednim rokom drugi pogodbenici.
V dokaz navedenega sta predstavnika, ki sta ju njuni vladi za to pravilno pooblastili, podpisala ta sporazum.
