Such paid employment shall be carried out under the terms and conditions established by the Receiving State for its own citizens in accordance with the legislation in force of the Receiving State and after obtaining a relevant permit under this Agreement.

For the purposes of this Agreement the term:

1. “paid employment” means performance of any labour function under the terms and conditions of an employment contract concluded in accordance with the legislation in force of the Receiving State, as well as any independent professional activity envisaging a payment.

2. “a member of the family” means a person, who lives together with and is dependent on the employee of the diplomatic mission, consular post or mission to an international organization of the Sending State, namely:

a) a spouse;

b) the unmarried dependent children under 18 years old;

c) the unmarried dependent children under 26 years old who are full-time students at a post-secondary educational institution;

d) the unmarried children who are physically or mentally disabled.

Such note verbale shall certify that a person is the member of the family as it is defined in Article 1 of this Agreement and indicate a type of paid employment which such person is intended to perform.

2. After confirming that a person has the status of the member of the family as it is defined in Article 1 of this Agreement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Receiving State shall issue authorization for the requested person which allows paid employment in the territory of the Receiving State.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Receiving State shall communicate in writing such authorization to the diplomatic mission, consular post or mission to an international organization of the Sending State.

3. The above provision on waiving the immunities from criminal jurisdiction shall not apply to the execution of court decisions of the Receiving State, which shall require a separate waiving. In this case the Sending State shall thoroughly consider the waiving of such immunity.

Such recognition shall be done in accordance with the legislation in force of the Receiving State or bilateral or multilateral agreements to which the Parties are party.

The permit for paid employment in the Receiving State obtained under this Agreement by members of the family of the employee of diplomatic mission, consular post or mission to an international organization of the Sending State shall terminate automatically when such employee finishes his/her official functions in the Receiving State.

This Agreement can be amended at any time by the written consent of the Parties confirmed through diplomatic channels. Such amendment shall enter into force in the same manner as this Agreement.

2. This Agreement can be terminated at any time by either Party giving a six (6) months advance written notice to the other Party of its intention to terminate this Agreement.

3. Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of permits for paid employment, issued under this Agreement before its termination, which shall remain in force for the period specified in Article 6 of this Agreement.”

Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve Ukrajine izraža odlično spoštovanje Ministrstvu za zunanje zadeve Republike Slovenije in ima v imenu Vlade Ukrajine čast predlagati sklenitev naslednjega Sporazuma (v obliki izmenjave not) med Kabinetom ministrov Ukrajine in Vlado Republike Slovenije o opravljanju pridobitne dejavnosti za družinske člane članov diplomatskih predstavništev, konzulatov ali predstavništev pri mednarodnih organizacijah:

»Vlada Republike Slovenije in Kabinet ministrov Ukrajine, v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbenika, sta se na podlagi vzajemnosti dogovorila, da imajo družinski člani diplomatov, konzularnih uslužbencev, članov administrativnega in tehničnega osebja diplomatskega predstavništva, konzulata ali predstavništva države pošiljateljice pri mednarodni organizaciji pravico do opravljanja pridobitne dejavnosti v državi sprejemnici. Taka pridobitna dejavnost se opravlja pod pogoji, ki v državi sprejemnici veljajo za njene državljane, in v skladu z njeno veljavno zakonodajo po pridobitvi ustreznega dovoljenja po tem sporazumu.

V tem sporazumu izraz:

1. »pridobitna dejavnost« pomeni opravljanje kakršnega koli dela po pogodbi o zaposlitvi, sklenjeni v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo države sprejemnice, ter samostojno opravljanje dejavnosti za plačilo;

2. »družinski član« pomeni vzdrževano osebo, ki živi v skupnem gospodinjstvu s članom diplomatskega predstavništva, konzulata ali predstavništva države pošiljateljice pri mednarodni organizaciji, in sicer:

a) zakonca;

b) neporočene vzdrževane otroke do 18. leta;

c) neporočene vzdrževane otroke do 26. leta, če so redni študentje visokošolskih izobraževalnih ustanov;

d) neporočene otroke, ki so telesno ali duševno prizadeti.

1. Diplomatsko predstavništvo, konzulat ali predstavništvo države pošiljateljice pri mednarodni organizaciji pošlje ministrstvu za zunanje zadeve države sprejemnice uradno verbalno noto z zaprosilom za soglasje k opravljanju pridobitne dejavnosti.

Verbalna nota potrjuje, da je ta oseba družinski član, kakor je opredeljeno v 1. členu tega sporazuma, in navaja vrsto pridobitne dejavnosti, ki jo namerava opravljati.

2. Potem ko se preveri, da ima oseba status družinskega člana, kakor je opredeljeno v 1. členu tega sporazuma, ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve države sprejemnice osebi izda soglasje za opravljanje pridobitne dejavnosti na njenem ozemlju.

Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve države sprejemnice o soglasju pisno obvesti diplomatsko predstavništvo, konzulat ali predstavništvo države pošiljateljice pri mednarodni organizaciji.

1. Družinski član, ki uživa imunitete v skladu z Dunajsko konvencijo o diplomatskih odnosih iz leta 1961, Dunajsko konvencijo o konzularnih odnosih iz leta 1963, Konvencijo o privilegijih in imunitetah Združenih narodov iz leta 1946 ali drugim mednarodnim sporazumom, po katerem so opredeljene imunitete, in ki se zaposli po tem sporazumu, med zaposlitvijo po tem sporazumu ne uživa imunitete pred sodno pristojnostjo države sprejemnice v civilnih in upravnih zadevah in zanj veljajo veljavna zakonodaja in sodne odločbe države sprejemnice.

2. Država pošiljateljica se za družinskega člana, ki je upravičen do imunitete pred sodno pristojnostjo v kazenskih zadevah v skladu z Dunajsko konvencijo o diplomatskih odnosih iz leta 1961, Dunajsko konvencijo o konzularnih odnosih iz leta 1963, Konvencijo o privilegijih in imunitetah Združenih narodov iz leta 1946 ali drugem mednarodnem sporazumu, po katerem so opredeljene imunitete v državi sprejemnici, odreče imuniteti pred sodno pristojnostjo v kazenskih zadevah v zvezi s kaznivimi dejanji med opravljanjem pridobitne dejavnosti po tem sporazumu na ozemlju države sprejemnice, razen če država pošiljateljica ne meni, da bi odrek vplival na njene nacionalne interese.

3. Zgornja določba o odreku imunitete pred sodno pristojnostjo v kazenskih zadevah se ne uporablja za izvrševanje sodnih odločb države sprejemnice, za kar je potreben poseben odrek. V tem primeru država pošiljateljica resno preuči odrek taki imuniteti.

Družinski član, ki v državi sprejemnici opravlja pridobitno dejavnost po tem sporazumu, pridobi status davčnega zavezanca v državi sprejemnici in spoštuje njeno davčno, delovno in socialnovarstveno zakonodajo.

1. Ta sporazum družinskemu članu ne omogoča zasedbe delovnega mesta, na katerem se v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo države sprejemnice lahko zaposli samo njen državljan.

2. Ta sporazum ne predvideva samodejnega priznavanja diplom, poklicnih kvalifikacij ali znanstvenih ali strokovnih nazivov pogodbenikov. Za tako priznavanje se uporabljajo veljavna zakonodaja države sprejemnice ali dvostranski ali večstranski sporazumi, katerih pogodbenika sta pogodbenika.

Dovoljenje za opravljanje pridobitne dejavnosti v državi sprejemnici, ki ga po tem sporazumu pridobijo družinski člani člana diplomatskega predstavništva, konzulata ali predstavništva države pošiljateljice pri mednarodni organizaciji, samodejno preneha, ko se temu izteče napotitev v državi sprejemnici.

Sporazum se lahko kadar koli spremeni s pisnim soglasjem pogodbenikov po diplomatski poti. Spremembe začnejo veljati na enak način kakor sporazum.

1. Sporazum se sklene za nedoločen čas.

2. Pogodbenika ga lahko kadarkoli odpovesta, tako da o tem 6 (šest) mesecev prej pisno obvestita drugega pogodbenika.

3. Odpoved sporazuma ne vpliva na veljavnost dovoljenj za opravljanje pridobitne dejavnosti, izdanih po tem sporazumu pred odpovedjo, ki ostanejo v veljavi do izteka obdobja iz 6. člena.«

Če Vlada Republike Slovenije meni, da je navedeni predlog sprejemljiv, ima ukrajinska stran čast predlagati, da ta nota in povratna nota slovenske strani sestavljata Sporazum (v obliki izmenjave not) med Kabinetom ministrov Ukrajine in Vlado Republike Slovenije o opravljanju pridobitne dejavnosti za družinske člane članov diplomatskih predstavništev, konzulatov ali predstavništev pri mednarodnih organizacijah, ki začne veljati na dan, ko pogodbenika prejmeta zadnje pisno uradno obvestilo po diplomatski poti, da so končani notranjepravni postopki, potrebni za začetek njegove veljavnosti.

Ministrstvo za zunanje zadeve Ukrajine izkorišča tudi to priložnost, da Ministrstvu za zunanje zadeve Republike Slovenije ponovno izrazi svoje odlično spoštovanje.
