(2) However, the Minister for Foreign Trade may also take measures to concentrate imports for goods other than those referred to in paragraph 1, provided that they serve the essential needs of industry, with the exception of the subjects of state financial monopolies, if the successful performance of the tasks of the two-year economic plan so requires.
(3) The Minister for Foreign Trade may exclude from concentrated imports either in part or in full types of goods which, by their nature or for other specific reasons, are not suitable for mass concentrated purchases.
(1) The concentration referred to in Article 1 shall be carried out by granting the Minister for Foreign Trade an import authorisation for the goods concerned (Article 1) to importers, which shall be determined in accordance with the following principles:
(a) for each type of goods referred to in Article 1, in the case of several types of goods, one common importer shall be designated for national and national undertakings;
(b) for each of the types of goods referred to in Section 1, in the case of several types of goods, one joint importer shall be designated for private undertakings in production and, where appropriate, another importer for cooperative undertakings in production.
(2) The Minister for Foreign Trade may designate a single joint importer for the production undertakings of state and national, private, in the case of cooperative, if they agree to a joint importer, a foreign trade minister approved in advance.
(3) If the successful implementation of the two-year economic plan requires this, the Minister for Foreign Trade shall designate another importer for each of the imports referred to in Section 1, with the approval of the Bureau of the Government.
The Foreign Trade Minister shall designate the importer in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 in an agreement with the Ministers in charge of the management of the relevant imported goods and taking into account the interests of foreign trade and the two-year economic plan.
The economy in Slovakia is guaranteed an appropriate share of the concentrated imports so that, in proportion to the Slovak import need for the total import need of the State, participation in the direct purchase and import of goods by importers located in Slovakia is ensured; a reasonable share of the ancillary services in Slovakia, in particular insurance, banking and shipping, is also guaranteed. In doing so, the principle of concentrated purchases should not be infringed within the limits of the provisions of § 1-3.
(1) The Minister for Foreign Trade will define the scope of the importers designated for concentrated imports.
(2) The activity of importers is subject to control by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which can also be carried out in the case of surveillance purchases.
When granting import authorisations, goods which are important for the implementation of the two-year economic plan will have a fundamental priority; the obligations arising from trade agreements and contracts shall not be affected.
All imports and exports of goods shall be subject to an authorisation procedure under the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. As regards the remuneration for imported goods and the ancillary costs associated with the import or export, the National Bank of Czechoslovakia is not affected.
The Foreign Trade Minister shall take appropriate measures to ensure the best export conditions and to avoid undercutting and unhealthy competition of Czechoslovak exporters on international markets.
The measures referred to in the previous provisions shall be taken by the Foreign Trade Minister in accordance with the provisions of the Decree of the President of the Republic of 27 October 1945, No 113 Coll. on the modification, management and control of foreign trade.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication; they shall be carried out by the Foreign Trade Minister in agreement with the Ministers involved.
