ON THE INTERNATIONAL OCCASIONAL CARRIAGE OF PASSENGERS BY COACH AND BUS (INTERBUS AGREEMENT)
THE CONTRACTING PARTIES:
HAVING REGARD to the desire to promote the development of international transport in Europe and especially to facilitate the organisation and operation thereof;
HAVING REGARD to the desire to facilitate tourism and cultural exchange between the Contracting Parties;
WHEREAS the Agreement on the international Carriage of Passengers by Road by means of Occasional Coach and Bus Services (ASOR), signed in Dublin on the 26 May 1982 does not provide for any scope for the accession of new Parties;
WHEREAS the experience and the liberalisation achieved by this latter Agreement should be maintained;
WHEREAS it is desirable to provide for harmonised liberalisation of certain international occasional services by coach and bus and the transit operations thereof;
WHEREAS it is desirable to provide for certain harmonised rules of procedure for non-liberalised international occasional services, that are thus still subject to authorisation;
WHEREAS it is necessary to provide for a high degree of harmonisation of the technical conditions applying to buses and coaches carrying out international occasional services between Contracting Parties in order to improve road safety and protection of the environment;
WHEREAS it is necessary that Contracting Parties should apply uniform measures concerning the work of the crews of buses and coaches engaged in international road transport;
WHEREAS it is desirable to provide for harmonisation of the conditions for access to the occupation of road passenger transport operator;
WHEREAS the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality or the place of establishment of the transport operator, and of the origin or destination of the bus or coach, should be considered to be a basic condition applying to the provision of international transport services;
WHEREAS it is necessary to provide for uniform models for transport documents such as the control document for liberalised occasional services and also the authorisation and the application form for non-liberalised services in order to facilitate and simplify inspection procedures;
WHEREAS it is necessary to provide for certain harmonised measures on the enforcement of the Agreement, especially as far as control procedures, penalties and mutual assistance are concerned;
WHEREAS it is appropriate to establish certain procedures for the management of the Agreement in order to ensure proper enforcement and to permit some technical adaptation of the Annexes;
WHEREAS the Agreement should be open for accession to future Members of the European Conference of Ministers of Transport and to certain other European countries;
HAVE DECIDED to establish uniform rules for the international occasional carriage of passengers by coach and bus,
HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
ARTICLE 1
Scope
1. This Agreement shall apply:
(a) to the international carriage of passengers, of any nationality, by road by means of occasional services:
– between the territories of two Contracting Parties, or starting and finishing on the territory of the same Contracting Party and, should the need arise during such services, in transit through the territory of another Contracting Party or through the territory of a non-Contracting State;
– carried out by transport operators for hire or reward established in a Contracting Party in accordance with its law and holding a licence to undertake carriage by means of international occasional services by coach and bus;
– using buses and coaches registered in the Contracting Party where the transport operator is established.
(b) to unladen journeys of the buses and coaches concerned with these services.
2. None of the provisions of this Agreement may be interpreted as providing the possibility to operate national occasional services in the territory of a Contracting Party by operators established in another Contracting Party.
3. The use of buses and coaches designed to carry passengers for the transport of goods for commercial purposes shall be excluded from the scope of this Agreement.
4. This Agreement does not concern own-account occasional services.
ARTICLE 2
Non-discrimination
Contracting Parties shall ensure that the principle of non-discrimination on the grounds of the nationality or the place of establishment of the transport operator, and of the origin or destination of the bus or coach, is applied, in particular with regard to fiscal provisions as established in Section VI as well as control and penalties as established in Section IX.
ARTICLE 3
Definitions
For the purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
1. “Buses and coaches“ are vehicles which, by virtue of their construction and their equipment, are suitable for carrying more than nine persons, including the driver, and are intended for that purpose.
2. “International occasional services“ are services between the territory of at least two Contracting Parties falling within neither the definition of regular services or special regular services nor the definition of a shuttle service. Such services may be operated with some degree of frequency without thereby ceasing to be occasional services.
3. “Regular Services“ are services which provide for the carriage of passengers according to a specified frequency and along specified routes, whereby passengers may be taken up or set down at predetermined stopping points. Regular services can be subject to the obligation to respect previously established timetables and tariffs.
4. “Special Regular Services“ are services, by whomsoever organised, which provide for the carriage of specified categories of passengers to the exclusion of other passengers, insofar as such services are operated under the conditions specified in point 3. Special regular services shall include:
– the carriage of workers between home and work;
– the carriage of school pupils and students to and from the educational institution.
The fact that a special regular service may be varied according to the needs of users shall not affect its classification as a regular service.
5. (1) “Shuttle services“ are services whereby, by means of repeated outward and return journeys, previously formed groups of passengers are carried from a single place of departure to a single destination. Each group, consisting of the passengers who made the outward journey, shall be carried back to the place of departure on a later journey by the same transport operator.
Place of departure and destination shall mean, respectively, the place where the journey begins and the place where the journey ends, together with, in each case, the surrounding localities within a radius of 50 km.
(2) In the course of shuttle services, no passenger may be taken up or set down during the journey.
(3) The first return journey and the last outward journey in a series of shuttles shall be made unladen.
(4) However, the classification of a transport operation as a shuttle service shall not be affected by the fact that, with the agreement of the competent authorities in the Contracting Party or Parties concerned:
– passengers, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 1, make the return journey with another group or another transport operator;
– passengers, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 2, are taken up or set down along the way;
– the first outward journey and the last return journey of the series of shuttles are, notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph 3, made unladen.
6. “Contracting Parties“ are those signatories that have consented to be bound by this Agreement and for which this Agreement is in force.
This Agreement applies to those territories where the Treaty establishing the European Community is applied and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty and to BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA, BULGARIA, CROATIA, THE CZECH REPUBLIC, ESTONIA, HUNGARY, LATVIA, LITHUANIA, MOLDOVA, POLAND, ROMANIA, SLOVAKIA, SLOVENIA and TURKEY, as far as they have concluded this Agreement.
7. “Competent Authorities“ are those authorities designated by the Member States of the Community and by the other Contracting Parties to carry out the tasks set out in Sections V, VI, VII, VIII and IX of this Agreement.
8. “Transit“ means the part of a transport operation through the territory of a Contracting Party without passengers being picked up or set down.
SECTION II CONDITIONS APPLYING TO ROAD PASSENGER TRANSPORT OPERATORS
ARTICLE 4
1. Contracting Parties which have not yet done so shall apply provisions equivalent to those established by the European Community Directive referred to in Annex 1.
2. Concerning the condition on the appropriate financial standing referred to in Article 3, paragraph 3 of such Directive, Contracting Parties may apply a minimum available capital and reserves lower than the amount established in point (c) of the said paragraph (3), up to the date of 1 January 2003 or even to 1 January 2005 under condition in the latter case that a corresponding declaration be made at the time of the ratification of the Agreement, without prejudice to the provisions included in the Europe Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and their Member States and certain Contracting Parties of the present Agreement.
SECTION III TECHNICAL CONDITIONS APPLYING TO VEHICLES
ARTICLE 5
The buses and coaches used to carry out the international occasional services covered by this Agreement shall comply with the technical standards laid down in Annex 2.
SECTION IV ACCESS TO THE MARKET
ARTICLE 6
Liberalised occasional services
The following occasional services shall be exempted from authorisation on the territory of any Contracting Party other than that in which the transport operator is established:
1. Closed-door tours, that is to say services whereby the same bus or coach is used to carry the same group of passengers throughout the journey and to bring them back to the place of departure. The place of departure is in the territory of the Contracting Party in which the transport operator is established.
2. Services which make the outward journey laden and the return journey unladen. The place of departure is in the terrritory of the Contracting Party in which the transport operator is established.
3. Services during which the outward journey is made unladen and all the passengers are taken up in the same place, provided that one of the following conditions is met:
(a) passengers constitute groups, on the territory of a non-Contracting Party or of a Contracting Party other than that in which the transport operator is established or that where the passengers are taken up, that have been formed under contracts of carriage made before their arrival in the territory of the latter Contracting Party. Passengers are carried on the territory of the Contracting Party in which the transport operator is established;
(b) passengers have been previously brought, by the same transport operator in the circumstances provided for under point 2, into the territory of the Contracting Party where they are taken up again and carried into the territory of the Contracting Party in which the transport operator is established;
(c) passengers have been invited to travel into the territory of another Contracting Party, the cost of transport being borne by the person issuing the invitation. Such passengers must constitute a homogeneous group, which has not been formed solely with a view to undertaking that particular journey and which is brought into the territory of the Contracting Party in which the transport operator is established.
The following shall also be exempted from authorisation:
4. Transit operations through the territory of Contracting Parties in conjunction with occasional services that are exempted from authorisation.
5. Unladen buses and coaches to be used exclusively for the replacement of a bus or a coach damaged or broken down, while performing an international service covered by this Agreement.
For services provided by transport operators established within the European Community, the points of departure and/or destination of the services can be in any Member State of the European Community, independently of the Member State in which the bus or coach is registered or the Member State in which the transport operator is established.
ARTICLE 7
Non-liberalised occasional services
1. Occasional services other than those referred to in Article 6 shall be subject to authorisation in accordance with Article 15.
2. For services provided by transport operators established within the European Community, the points of departure and/or destination of the services can be in any Member State of the European Community, independently of the Member State in which the bus or coach is registered or the Member State in which the transport operator is established.
SECTION V SOCIAL PROVISIONS
ARTICLE 8
The Contracting Parties to this Agreement which have not yet done so shall accede to the European Agreement concerning the work of Crews of Vehicles engaged in International Road Transport (AETR) of 1 July 1970, as subsequently amended, or shall apply Community Regulations 3820/85 and 3821/85 as in force at the entry into force of this Agreement.

However, Contracting Parties may also impose tolls on networks where user charges are levied, for the use of bridges, tunnels and mountain passes.
3. The fuel for buses and coaches, contained in the fuel tanks established by the manufacturer for this purpose, and in any case not more than 600 litres, as well as the lubricants contained in buses and coaches for the sole purpose of their operation, shall be exempted from import duties and any other taxes and payments imposed in other Contracting Parties.
4. The Joint Committee established in Article 23 will draft a list of the taxes concerning road transport of passengers by bus and coach levied in each Contracting Party. This list will indicate the taxes falling under the provisions of paragraph 1, first subparagraph, of this Article that can only be levied in the Contracting Party of registration of the vehicle. This list will also indicate the taxes falling under the provisions of paragraph 1, second subparagraph, of this Article that may be levied in Contracting Parties other than the Contracting Party of registration of the vehicle. Contracting Parties which replace any tax included in the lists referred to with another tax of the same or a different kind shall notify the Joint Committee in order to make the necessary amendments.
5. Spare parts and tools imported for the repair of a damaged bus or coach while performing an international road transport operation shall be exempted from customs duty and from all taxes and charges at the time of importation into the territory of the other Contracting Party under the conditions laid down in its provisions concerning temporary admission of such goods. The spare parts which are replaced should be re-exported or destroyed under the control of the competent customs authority of the other Contracting Party.
SECTION VII CONTROL DOCUMENTS FOR OCCASIONAL SERVICES EXEMPTED FROM AUTHORISATION

2. The competent authorities of the Contracting Party in whose territory the serious or repeated infringement of regulations concerning road transport, especially those concerning driving and resting time and road safety have occurred, may temporarily deny access for the transport operator concerned to the territory of this contracting party.

Competent authorities of the Contracting Party of establishment of the transport operator and the Joint Committee established in Article 23 shall be informed of such measures.
3. Where serious or repeated infringements of regulations concerning road transport, especially those concerning driving and resting time and road safety, have been committed by a transport operator, the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties where the transport operator is established shall take the appropriate measures to avoid repetition of those infringements; these measures may include the suspension or the withdrawal of the licence to practise as a road passenger transport operator.

ARTICLE 8
1. Notwithstanding the provision referred to in paragraph (a) of
Article 1 of this Annex, Contracting Parties may establish random
inspections in order to control that the buses and coaches
concerned comply with the provisions of Directive 96/96/EC. For
the purpose of this Annex "random inspections" shall mean an
unscheduled and therefore unexpected inspection of a bus or coach
circulating on the territory of a Contracting Party carried out
by the authorities at the roadside.
2. In order to carry out the roadside inspection provided for in
this Annex, competent authorities of Contracting Parties shall
use the checklist included in Annex II a and II b. A copy of this
checklist drawn up by the authority which carried it out shall be
given to the driver of the bus or coach and presented on request
in order to simplify or avoid, where possible, subsequent

96/96/EC.
4. Without prejudice to other penalties which may be imposed, if
the consequence of the random inspection is that the bus or coach
does not comply with the provisions of Directive 96/96/EC and
therefore is considered to present a serious risk to its
occupants or other road users, the bus or coach may be banned
immediately from use on public roads.
5. Roadside checks shall be carried out without discrimination on
the grounds of nationality, residence or registration of buses
and coaches and drivers respectively.

ANNEX II b
Technical standards of the roadside check
Buses and coaches as defined in Article 3 of this Agreement shall
be maintained in such a condition that they can be deemed as
roadworthy by the inspection authorities.
The items that shall be inspected will include those that are
considered to be important for the safe and clean operation of
the bus or coach. As well as simple functional checks (lighting,
signalling, tyre condition etc.), specific tests and/or
inspections shall be carried out on the vehicle's brakes and the
motor vehicle's emissions in the following manner:
1. Brakes
Every part of the braking system and its means of operation shall
be maintained in good and efficient working order and be properly
adjusted.
The bus or coach's brakes shall be capable of performing the
following three braking functions:
(a) For buses and coaches and their trailers and semi-trailers, a
service brake capable of slowing down the vehicle and of stopping
it safely, rapidly and efficiently, whatever its conditions of
loading and whatever the upward or downward gradient of the road
on which it is moving;
(b) For buses and coaches and their trailers and semi-trailers a
parking brake capable of holding the bus or coach stationary,
whatever its condition of loading, on a noticeable upward or
downward gradient, the operative surfaces of the brake being held
in the braking position by a device whose action is purely
mechanical;
(c) For buses and coaches, a secondary (emergency) brake capable
of slowing down and stopping the bus or coach, whatever its
condition of loading, within a reasonable distance, even in the
event of failure of the service brake.
Where the maintenance condition of the bus or coach is in doubt,
the inspection authorities may test the bus or coach's braking
performance in accordance with some or all of the provisions of
Directive 96/96/EC Annex II, item I.
2. Exhaust Emissions
2.1 Exhaust emission
2.1.1 Buses and coaches equipped with positive-ignition (petrol)
engines.
(a) Where the exhaust emissions are not controlled by an advanced
emission control system such as a three-way catalytic converter
which is lambda-probe controlled:
1. Visual inspection of the exhaust system in order to check that
there is no leakage.
2. If appropriate, visual inspection of the emission control
system in order to check that the required equipment has been
fitted.
After a reasonable period of engine conditioning (taking account
of the bus or coach manufacturer's recommendations) the carbon
monoxide (CO) content of the exhaust gases is measured when the
engine is idling (no load).
The maximum permissible CO content in the exhaust gases is that
stated by the bus or coach manufacturer. Where this information
is not available or where Member States' competent authorities
decide not to use it as a reference value, the CO content must
not exceed the following:
- for buses and coaches registered or put into service for the
first time between the date from which Contracting Parties
required the buses and coaches to comply with Directive
70/220/EEC1 and 1 October 1986: CO - 4,5% vol.
- for buses and coaches registered or put into service for the
first time after 1 October 1986: CO - 3,5% vol.
(b) Where the exhaust emissions are controlled by an advanced
emission control system such as a three-way catalytic converter
which is lambda-probe controlled:
1. Visual inspection of the exhaust system in order to check that
there are no leakages and that all parts are complete.
2. Visual inspection of the emission control system in order to
check that the required equipment has been fitted.
3. Determination of the efficiency of the bus or coach's emission
control system by measuring the lambda value and the CO content
of the exhaust gases in accordance with Section 4 or with the
procedures proposed by the manufacturers and approved at the time
of type-approval. For each of the tests, the engine is
conditioned in accordance with the bus or coach manufacturer's
recommendations.
4. Exhaust pipe emissions - limit values
Measurement at engine idling speed:
The maximum permissible CO content in the exhaust gases is that
stated by the bus or coach manufacturer. Where this information
is not available, the maximum CO content must not exceed 0,5%
vol.
Measurement at high idle speed, engine speed to be at least 2 000
min-1:
CO content: maximum 0,3% vol.
Lambda: 1 + / - 0,03 in accordance with the manufacturer's
specifications.
2.1.2 Buses and coaches equipped with compression ignition
(diesel) engines.
Measurement of exhaust gas opacity with free acceleration (no
load from idling up to cut-off speed). The level of concentration
must not exceed the level recorded on the plate pursuant to
Directive 72/306/EEC2. Where this information is not available or
where Contracting Parties' competent authorities decide not to
use it as a reference, the limit values of the coefficient of
absorption are as follows:
Maximum coefficient of absorption for:
naturally aspirated diesel engines = 2,5 m-1,
turbo-charged diesel engines = 3,0 m-1
or equivalent values where use is made of equipment of a type
different from that used for EC type-approval.
2.1.3 Test equipment
Buses' and coaches' emissions are tested using equipment designed
to establish accurately whether the limit values prescribed or
indicated by the manufacturer have been complied with.
2.2 Where appropriate, a check on the correct functioning of the
On Board Diagnostic (OBD) emission monitoring system.
1 Council Directive 70/220/EEC of 20 March 1970 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to measures to be taken against air pollution by emissions from motor vehicles (OJ L 76, 9.3.1970, p.1) and corrigendum (OJ L 81, 11.4.1970, p. 15), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Directive 94/12/EC (OJ L 100, 19.4.1994, p. 42).
2 Council Directive 72/306/EEC of 2 August 1972 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the measures to be taken against the emission of pollutants from diesel engines for use in vehicles (OJ L 190, 20.8.1972, p.1), Directive as last amended by Commission Directive 89/491/EEC (OJ L 238, 15.8.1989, p. 43).

odločile uvesti enotna pravila za mednarodne občasne avtobusne prevoze potnikov
IN SKLENILE:
I. DEL PODROČJE UPORABE IN POMEN IZRAZOV
1. člen
Področje uporabe
1. Ta sporazum se uporablja:
a) za mednarodne občasne cestne prevoze potnikov s kakršnim koli državljanstvom:
– med ozemljema dveh pogodbenic ali z odhodom in prihodom na ozemlje iste pogodbenice, ali če je potrebno med takim prevozom, tranzitno čez ozemlje druge pogodbenice ali čez ozemlje države, ki ni pogodbenica;
– ki jih opravljajo prevozniki s sedežem v eni od pogodbenic v skladu z njeno zakonodajo in z licenco za opravljanje mednarodnih občasnih avtobusnih prevozov za najem ali plačilo;
– z avtobusi, registriranimi v pogodbenici, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež;
b) za vožnje s praznimi avtobusi v zvezi s temi prevozi.
2. Nobene določbe tega sporazuma ni mogoče razlagati kot možnost, da bi občasne notranje prevoze na ozemlju ene pogodbenice opravljali prevozniki s sedežem v drugi pogodbenici.
3. Ta sporazum izključuje uporabo avtobusov, namenjenih za prevoz potnikov, za prevoz blaga v komercialne namene.
4. Ta sporazum ne ureja občasnih prevozov za lastne potrebe.
2. člen
Nediskriminacija
Države pogodbenice zagotovijo spoštovanje načela nediskriminacije glede državljanstva ali kraja sedeža prevoznika in porekla ali mesta prihoda avtobusa, zlasti v zvezi z določbami o davščinah iz VI. dela ter kontrolo in kaznimi iz IX. dela.
3. člen
Pomen izrazov
V tem sporazumu se uporabljajo ti izrazi:
1. “avtobusi“ so vozila, ki so konstruirana in opremljena za prevoz več kot devetih oseb, vključno z voznikom, in se uporabljajo v ta namen;
2. “mednarodni občasni prevoz“ je občasni prevoz med ozemljema vsaj dveh pogodbenic, ki ni opredeljen niti kot linijski prevoz ali posebni linijski prevoz niti kot prevoz z izmeničnimi vožnjami. Prevoz se lahko opravlja z določeno pogostostjo, ne da bi s tem prenehal biti občasni prevoz;
3. “linijski prevoz“ je prevoz, ki zagotavlja prevoz potnikov v določenih časovnih presledkih na določenih linijah, pri čemer potniki vstopajo in izstopajo na vnaprej določenih postajališčih. Linijski prevoz mora potekati po vnaprej določenem voznem redu in prevoznih tarifah;
4. “posebni linijski prevoz“ v organizaciji kogar koli je prevoz določene vrste potnikov in izključuje druge potnike, če je tak prevoz usklajen s pogoji iz 3. točke. Posebni linijski prevoz obsega:
– prevoz delavcev na delo in domov;
– prevoz učencev in študentov do izobraževalnih ustanov in nazaj.
Dejstvo, da se lahko posebni linijski prevoz spreminja glede na potrebe uporabnikov, ne vpliva na njegovo razvrstitev kot linijski prevoz;
5. 1) “prevoz z izmeničnimi vožnjami“ je prevoz predhodno sestavljenih skupin potnikov v določenih časovnih presledkih v obe smeri z enega samega mesta odhoda na eno samo mesto prihoda. Vsako skupino, ki jo sestavljajo potniki z že opravljenim potovanjem na cilj, prepelje nazaj na mesto odhoda v kasnejši vožnji isti prevoznik.
Mesto odhoda in mesto prihoda sta mesti, na katerih se potovanje začne in konča, pri čemer vključujeta tudi okolico s polmerom 50 km;
2) med prevozom z izmeničnimi vožnjami potniki ne smejo vstopati ali izstopati;
3) v nizu prevozov mora biti vozilo pri prvi povratni vožnji in zadnji vožnji tja prazno;
4) v soglasju s pristojnimi oblastmi v pogodbenici ali pogodbenicah, v katerih taki prevozi potekajo, pa na razvrstitev prevozov kot prevozov z izmeničnimi vožnjami ne vpliva:
– če ne glede na določbe prvega pododstavka potniki potujejo nazaj z drugo skupino ali drugim prevoznikom,
– če ne glede na določbe drugega pododstavka potniki med potjo vstopajo in izstopajo,
– če je ne glede na določbe tretjega pododstavka v nizu prevozov z izmeničnimi vožnjami vozilo na prvi vožnji tja in na zadnji povratni vožnji prazno;
6. “pogodbenice“ so tiste podpisnice, ki pristanejo, da jih zavezuje ta sporazum, in za katere velja ta sporazum.
Sporazum velja za ozemlja, na katerih velja Pogodba o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti, in pod pogoji iz te pogodbe tudi za BOLGARIJO, BOSNO IN HERCEGOVINO, ČEŠKO, ESTONIJO, HRVAŠKO, LATVIJO, LITVO, MADŽARSKO, MOLDOVO, POLJSKO, ROMUNIJO, SLOVAŠKO, SLOVENIJO in TURČIJO, če sklenejo ta sporazum;
7. “pristojni organi“ so tisti organi, ki jih imenujejo države članice Skupnosti in druge pogodbenice za opravljanje nalog iz V., VI., VII., VIII. in IX. dela tega sporazuma;
8. “tranzit“ je del prevozne poti čez ozemlje pogodbenice, med katerim potniki niti ne vstopajo niti ne izstopajo.
II. DEL POGOJI ZA PREVOZNIKE V CESTNEM POTNIŠKEM PROMETU
4. člen
1. Pogodbenice, ki tega še niso storile, uvedejo določbe, enakovredne določbam direktive Evropske skupnosti iz Priloge 1.
2. Glede pogoja o ustreznem finančnem stanju iz tretjega odstavka 3. člena te direktive imajo lahko pogodbenice do 1. januarja 2003 ali celo do 1. januarja 2005, če ob ratifikaciji sporazuma tako izjavijo, nižji minimalni razpoložljivi kapital in rezerve, kot je znesek iz točke c) omenjenega tretjega odstavka, kar pa ne vpliva na določbe Evropskega sporazuma o povezavi Evropskih skupnosti in njihovih držav članic z določenimi pogodbenicami tega sporazuma.
III. DEL TEHNIČNI POGOJI ZA VOZILA
5. člen
Avtobusi, ki se uporabljajo za opravljanje mednarodnega občasnega prevoza po tem sporazumu, morajo biti skladni s tehničnimi standardi iz Priloge 2.
IV. DEL DOSTOP DO TRGA
6. člen
Občasni prevoz brez dovolilnice
Na ozemlju pogodbenice, ki ni pogodbenica, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež, dovolilnica ni potrebna za te občasne prevoze:
1. krožno vožnjo “zaprtih vrat“, to je za prevoze, pri katerih se z istim avtobusom prevaža ista skupina potnikov na celotnem potovanju in se pripelje nazaj na mesto odhoda; mesto odhoda je v pogodbenici, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež;
2. prevoze, pri katerih je vozilo na potovanju tja polno, na potovanju nazaj pa prazno; mesto odhoda je na ozemlju pogodbenice, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež;
3. prevoze, pri katerih je vozilo na potovanju tja prazno in prevzame vse potnike na istem mestu, če je izpolnjen eden od teh pogojev:
a) potniki sestavljajo skupine na ozemlju nepogodbenice ali pogodbenice, ki ni tista, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež ali v kateri je bilo mesto odhoda, v skladu s pogodbo o prevozu, ki je bila sklenjena pred njihovim prihodom na ozemlje te druge pogodbenice; potniki se prepeljejo na ozemlje pogodbenice, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež;
b) potnike je isti prevoznik predhodno pripeljal na ozemlje pogodbenice v skladu z drugo točko, kjer jih spet prevzame in jih prepelje na ozemlje pogodbenice, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež;
c) potniki so bili povabljeni na pot na ozemlje druge pogodbenice, pri čemer stroške prevoza krije oseba, ki jih je povabila; taki potniki morajo sestavljati enovito skupino, ki ni nastala samo zaradi tega potovanja in se prepelje na ozemlje pogodbenice, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež.
Dovolilnica prav tako ni potrebna:
4. za tranzitne prevoze čez ozemlje pogodbenice v zvezi z občasnim prevozom brez dovolilnice;
5. za prazne avtobuse, ki se uporabljajo izključno za zamenjavo poškodovanega ali pokvarjenega avtobusa med opravljanjem mednarodnega prevoza iz tega sporazuma.
Za prevoze, ki jih opravljajo prevozniki s sedežem v Evropski skupnosti, sta lahko mesto odhoda in/ali mesto prihoda v kateri koli državi članici Evropske skupnosti ne glede na državo članico, v kateri je avtobus registriran, ali državo članico, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež.
7. člen
Občasni prevoz z dovolilnico
1. Za občasne prevoze, razen za prevoze iz 6. člena, je potrebna dovolilnica v skladu s 15. členom.
2. Za prevoze, ki jih opravljajo prevozniki s sedežem v Evropski skupnosti, sta lahko mesto odhoda in/ali mesto prihoda v kateri koli državi članici Evropske skupnosti ne glede na državo članico, v kateri je avtobus registriran, ali državo članico, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež.
V. DEL SOCIALNE DOLOČBE
8. člen
Pogodbenice tega sporazuma, ki tega še niso storile, pristopijo k Evropskemu sporazumu o delu posadk vozil, ki opravljajo mednarodne cestne prevoze (AETR), z dne 1. julija 1970 z vsemi spremembami ali uporabljajo Uredbi Skupnosti št. 3820/85 in 3821/85, kot veljata ob začetku veljavnosti tega sporazuma.
VI. DEL CARINSKE DAJATVE IN DAVŠČINE
9. člen
1. Avtobusi, ki se uporabljajo za prevoze v skladu s tem sporazumom, so oproščeni plačevanja vseh davščin in dajatev za promet ali posest vozila kakor tudi vseh posebnih davščin in drugih dajatev za prevoze na ozemlju drugih pogodbenic.
Oprostitev ne velja za davke in prispevke za gorivo, davek na dodano vrednost za prevozne storitve, cestnine in druge dajatve za uporabo infrastrukture.
2. Pogodbenice zagotovijo, da se na istem odseku ne zaračunavajo hkrati cestnine in druge dajatve za uporabo cest. Pogodbenice pa lahko zaračunavajo cestnine hkrati z dajatvami za uporabo mostov, predorov in gorskih prelazov.
3. Gorivo za avtobuse v rezervoarjih, ki jih je vgradil proizvajalec v ta namen, in v nobenem primeru ne več kot 600 litrov, ter motorno olje, potrebno izključno za delovanje avtobusa, sta oproščeni uvoznih dajatev ter vseh drugih dajatev in plačil, ki se plačujejo v drugih pogodbenicah.
4. Skupni odbor iz 23. člena bo pripravil seznam dajatev v posamezni pogodbenici v zvezi s cestnimi avtobusnimi prevozi potnikov. V tem seznamu bodo navedene dajatve iz prvega pododstavka prvega odstavka tega člena, ki se lahko zaračunavajo samo v pogodbenici, v kateri je vozilo registrirano. V tem seznamu bodo navedene tudi dajatve iz drugega pododstavka prvega odstavka tega člena, ki jih lahko zaračunavajo druge pogodbenice, kot je pogodbenica, v kateri je vozilo registrirano. Pogodbenica, ki katero koli dajatev iz seznama nadomesti z drugo dajatvijo iste ali druge vrste, o tem obvesti skupni odbor, da ta ustrezno spremeni seznam.
5. Rezervni deli in orodje, ki se uvozijo za popravilo pokvarjenega avtobusa med opravljanjem mednarodnega cestnega prevoza, so pri uvozu na ozemlje druge pogodbenice v skladu s predpisi o začasnem uvozu takšnega blaga oproščeni carinskih dajatev in vseh davščin in drugih dajatev. Zamenjani rezervni deli se izvozijo ali uničijo pod nadzorom pristojnega carinskega organa druge pogodbenice.
VII. DEL KONTROLNE LISTINE ZA OBČASNI PREVOZ BREZ DOVOLILNICE
10. člen
Prevozni iz 6. člena se opravljajo na podlagi kontrolne listine, ki jo izda pristojni organ v pogodbenici, v kateri ima prevoznik sedež, ali katera koli uradno pooblaščena agencija v tej pogodbenici.

naključnem pregledu ugotovi, da avtobus ni v skladu z določbami
Direktive 96/96/ES, in se zato šteje, da pomeni resno nevarnost
za potnike ali druge udeležence v cestnem prometu, se lahko takoj
prepove nadaljnja vožnja avtobusa po javnih cestah.
5. Kontrolni pregledi na cesti se opravljajo brez diskriminacije
glede na državljanstvo, sedež ali registracijo avtobusa oziroma

PRILOGA II b
Tehnični standardi pri kontrolnem pregledu na cesti
Avtobuse, kot so opredeljeni v 3. členu tega sporazuma, je treba
vzdrževati v takem stanju, da jih lahko kontrolni organi ocenijo
za tehnično ustrezne.
Preverjajo se tisti deli vozila, ki se štejejo za pomembne za
varno in brezhibno delovanje avtobusa. Poleg enostavnih pregledov
delovanja (svetlobne in svetlobnosignalne naprave, stanje
pnevmatik itd.) se lahko opravijo tudi posebni testi in/ali
kontrolni pregledi zavornega sistema vozila ter emisij motornega
vozila:
1 Zavore
Vsak del zavornega sistema mora biti dobro vzdrževan in pravilno
nastavljen.
Zavorni sistem avtobusa mora biti tak, da omogoča tri zavorne
naloge:
a) pri avtobusih ter njihovih priklopnikih in polpriklopnikih
mora delovna zavora zmanjšati hitrost vozila ter zanesljivo,
hitro in učinkovito ustaviti vozilo ne glede na obremenitev ter
vzpon ali nagib ceste, po kateri vozi;
b) pri avtobusih ter njihovih priklopnikih in polpriklopnikih
mora parkirna zavora omogočiti, da ostane avtobus v nepremičnem
položaju ne glede na obremenitev pri opaznem vzponu ali nagibu,
pri tem pa morajo ostati njegove zavorne površine v zavrtem
položaju s pomočjo ustrezne mehanične naprave;
c) pri avtobusih mora pomožna zavora po primerni zavorni poti
zmanjšati hitrost in ustaviti avtobus ne glede na obremenitev,
tudi če delovna zavora odpove.
Če kontrolni organ sumi, da vozilo ni ustrezno vzdrževano, lahko
preizkusi delovanje zavor avtobusa v skladu z nekaterimi ali
vsemi določbami prve točke Priloge II k Direktivi 96/96/ES.
2 Emisije izpušnih plinov
2.1 Emisije izpušnih plinov
2.1.1 Avtobusi z bencinskim motorjem na prisilni vžig
a) Če se emisije izpušnih plinov ne nadzirajo s sodobnim sistemom
za zmanjševanje emisij, kot je trismerni katalizator z lambda
senzorjem:
1. Vidno preverjanje, če izpušni sistem pušča.
2. Po potrebi vidno preverjanje, če je nameščena zahtevana oprema
sistema za zmanjševanje emisij.
Po razumnem času za utekanje motorja (ob upoštevanju priporočil
proizvajalca avtobusa) se izmeri vsebnost ogljikovega monoksida
(CO) v izpušnih plinih, ko je motor v prostem teku (brez
obremenitve).
Najvišja dovoljena vsebnost CO v izpušnih plinih je vsebnost, ki
jo je navedel proizvajalec avtobusa. Če ta podatek ni na voljo
ali če se pristojni organi držav članic odločijo, da te vrednosti
ne bodo uporabljali kot referenčno vrednost, vsebnost CO ne sme
presegati teh vrednosti:
- za avtobuse, prvič registrirane ali dane v uporabo po datumu,
od katerega je država članica zahtevala skladnost vozil z
Direktivo 70/220/EGS1, in do 1. oktobra 1986: CO - 4,5 vol.%;
- za avtobuse, prvič registrirane ali dane v uporabo po 1.
oktobru 1986: CO - 3,5 vol.%.
b) Če se emisije izpušnih plinov nadzirajo s sodobnim sistemom za
zmanjševanje emisij, kot je trismerni katalizator z lambda
senzorjem:
1. Vidno preverjanje, če izpušni sistem pušča in če so vsi deli
nameščeni.
2. Vidno preverjanje, če je nameščena zahtevana oprema sistema za
zmanjševanje emisij.
3. Ugotavljanje učinkovitosti sistema za zmanjševanje emisij
avtobusa z meritvami vrednosti lambda in vsebnosti CO v izpušnih
plinih v skladu s 4. členom ali s postopkom, ki ga je priporočil
proizvajalec in je bil odobren pri homologaciji. Za vsako
preizkušanje se motor uteče v skladu s priporočili proizvajalca
avtobusa.
4. Emisije iz izpušne cevi - mejne vrednosti
Merjenje pri prostem teku motorja:
največja dovoljena vsebnost CO v izpušnih plinih je vsebnost, ki
jo je navedel proizvajalec avtobusa. Če ta podatek ni na voljo,
največja dovoljena vsebnost CO ne sme presegati 0,5 vol.%.
Merjenje pri visokih obratih motorja v prostem teku, hitrost
obratov je najmanj 2000 min-1:
vsebnost CO: največ 0,3 vol.%,
lambda: 1 + / - 0,03 v skladu z navodili proizvajalca.
2.1.2 Avtobusi z motorjem na kompresijski vžig (dizel)
Merjenje vsebnosti saj v izpušnih plinih v prostem teku (brez
obremenitve od prostega teka do najvišjih obratov). Koncentracija
ne sme biti večja od vrednosti, ki je na tablici proizvajalca v
skladu z Direktivo 72/306/EGS2. Če ta podatek ni na voljo ali če
se pristojni organi pogodbenic odločijo, da te vrednosti ne bodo
uporabljali kot referenčno vrednost, so lahko mejne vrednosti
absorpcijskega faktorja take:
Najvišja dovoljena vrednost absorpcijskega faktorja za:
klasični dizelski motor (sesalni motor) = 2,5 m-1,
dizelski motor s predpolnilnikom = 3,0 m-1
ali enakovredna vrednost, če se uporablja drugačna oprema kot pri
ES-homologaciji.
2.1.3 Testna oprema
Emisije iz avtobusov se preverjajo z opremo, ki je konstruirana
tako, da se lahko natančno ugotovi, ali so bile upoštevane
predpisane mejne vrednosti ali vrednosti, ki jih je navedel
proizvajalec.
2.2 Po potrebi se pravilnost delovanja preveri v laboratoriju (On
Board Diagnostic (OBD) emission monitoring system).
