DECLARATION
Ministry of Transport and Chief Arbiter of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
of 5 April 1966
on economic contracts in national water freight transport
The Ministry of Transport and the main arbiter of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic shall, in agreement with the participating ministries and central authorities, determine, pursuant to § 24 of Act No. 26 / 1964 Coll., on Inland Navigation and § 395 of Economic Code No. 109 / 1964 Coll.:
Economic contracts shall be concluded in order to enhance economic cooperation between public transport organisations (hereinafter referred to as "hauliers') and transporters and to improve their economic obligations.
- long-term cooperation in national water freight transport (long-term economic agreements),
- the preparation of shipments carried out during the calendar year or in a shorter period (economic contracts for the preparation of shipments).
Long-term economic contract
(1) The long-term economic contract is concluded by carriers and transporters where economic cooperation needs to be ensured for a period exceeding a calendar year, and where the extent, importance or special nature of the shipments so requires, in particular if it is a precondition for carrying out the long-term relocation of transport capacity, transport facilities and construction investments at the place of loading and unloading.
(2) The long-term economic contract must contain the following basic conditions for cooperation in national water freight transport:
(a) identification of the required shipments and other works and performances, in particular in terms of their special composition;
(b) the conditions under which economic contracts for the preparation of shipments will be concluded and, where appropriate, between the organisational units;
(c) whether and how the implementation of shipments will be specified during agreed periods of time, unless the organisations conclude an economic contract for the preparation of shipments.
(3) As a general rule, the long-term economic contract will contain the following information:
(a) the estimated volume of shipments and other works and performances for the whole contract period, and, where appropriate, the breakdown of such volumes during the contract period;
(b) the expected financial volume of shipments and other works and performances;
(c) the price conditions for future shipments and other works and performances, in particular transport prices when introducing limit prices;
(d) the order of importance of the required shipments and other works and performances;
(e) the fitting-out of loading and unloading points, in particular their illumination and other agreed measures ensuring safety of work;
(f) property penalties agreed in the event of failure to fulfil certain obligations, such as non-use of the investments made within the agreed scope.
Economic agreement on the preparation of shipments
(1) The economic contract for the preparation of shipments provides for the smooth and economical execution of individual shipments during the contract period. In particular, the carrier undertakes, by contract, to supply the transport equipment ordered by the carrier to the agreed extent and time, or to carry out other work and performances; the carrier undertakes, in particular, to order the shipment and, where appropriate, other works and performances with the carrier within the agreed scope and time periods. The subspecifications are used to improve the timing of shipments during the contract period.
(2) The economic contract for the preparation of shipments must include:
(a) the total volume of shipments in tonnes or other units or, where appropriate, the total volume of other works and performances;
(b) breakdown of shipments by type of consignments transported;
(c) whether and for what time periods and under what conditions, in particular within which time limits and between which organisational units the sub-specifications will be negotiated;
(d) the time and volume breakdown of the shipments in which the shipment is to be carried out during the contract period, unless the negotiation of the sub-specifications has been agreed;
(e) place of loading and unloading;
(f) the price conditions of future shipments and works, in particular transport prices when introducing limit prices.
(3) As a general rule, the economic contract for the preparation of shipments will contain the following information:
(a) an agreement on property penalties in the event of non-compliance with certain contractual obligations or an agreement that non-compliance will not be penalised;
(b) the method of carrying out shipments, including loading and unloading;
(c) the time of submission and collection of consignments.
(4) If the economic contract for the preparation of transport does not contain an agreement on property penalties or an agreement that non-compliance with the obligations will not be affected by specific penalties, the carrier which does not deliver the means of transport in volume and time provided for in the contract, although the generally applicable and agreed terms of carriage have been fulfilled, *) the carrier will pay less penalty for each tonne for which less than the agreed volume has been transported, a periodic penalty payment of the same amount shall be paid by the carrier to the carrier if it did not require the shipment in an agreed volume and period or did not ensure generally valid or agreed conditions of carriage for the execution of the shipment. If partial specifications have been agreed by the economic contract, the penalty referred to in the previous sentence shall apply to the volumes agreed in those specifications.
