"The transport of goods to the German part of the customs territory of the European Union outside the places referred to in Article 1 (1) shall, in accordance with the provisions in force in the Federal Republic of Germany, remain without prejudice to customs law, provided that the conditions of national provisions, based on Article 38 (4) of the Customs Code of the European Union, are fulfilled, for exemption from the obligation to use customs routes. ';
On behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic to confirm receipt of the note and the declaration contained therein.

The Czech version of the Agreement is hereby published at the same time.
AGREEMENT
between the Government of the Czech Republic and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany
on border crossing points at common national borders
The Government of the Czech Republic and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, conducted by an effort to cooperate constructively in the spirit of the Treaty between the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany on good neighbourhood and friendly cooperation of 27 February 1992,
guided by the desire to facilitate transport between the two States,
agree as follows:
1. The crossing of persons and the transport of goods across national borders between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany may take place only at border crossing points, except in the cases referred to in paragraph 2 or in other international treaties by which both States are bound.
2. The competent authorities of the two Contracting Parties may, by mutual agreement, in the case of specific interests, authorise the crossing of national borders by persons or groups of persons who fulfil the conditions for entry and residence in the sovereign territory of the States of the two Contracting Parties, at border crossing points by way of derogation from the specified scope of operation or operating time and also outside border crossing points. Special interests are laid down in Article 5 (1) of the Agreement between the Government of the Czech Republic and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on small border traffic on tourist trails and in tourist zones and on crossing national borders in specific cases of 3 November 1994.
1. Border crossing points established at common national borders are listed in Annex 1 to this Agreement.
2. The establishment, cancellation of border crossing points, as well as the scope of operation and operational time shall be carried out, except in the cases referred to in Article 3, in agreement with the Contracting Parties, in the form of an exchange of diplomatic notes. Annex 1 to this Agreement shall always be supplemented accordingly.
1. Each Contracting Party may restrict or suspend operations at border crossing points for serious reasons, in particular if there is or may be a risk of an epidemic or other serious threats to health or the environment, public order and security, for criminal prosecution and in cases of disasters.
2. A Contracting Party which intends to restrict or cease operations at border crossing points for the reasons referred to in paragraph 1 may take the necessary measures before notifying the other Contracting Party in cases of unforeseen events. The other Contracting Party shall inform the other Party in writing without delay and no later than 24 hours after their adoption. In the event of other events, a Contracting Party may restrict or suspend operations at border crossing points for the serious reasons referred to in paragraph 1 not earlier than the sixth day following the receipt of the written notification of the intended measure to the other Contracting Party.
3. Where the planned maintenance and reconstruction work on transport routes or facilities serving border handling requires restrictions or closures at border crossing points, the Contracting Parties shall inform each other in writing, as soon as possible and at the latest within one month, of the expected start, termination, likely duration and extent of the restriction or closure of operations before the start of work.
1. The Contracting Parties shall establish additional border crossing points for the carriage of persons and goods as soon as appropriate conditions are established on both sides.
2. Annex 2 to this Agreement lists the border crossing points to be established. The content of Annex 2 may be amended in the form of an exchange of diplomatic notes in agreement between the Parties.
1. The Contracting Parties may agree that designated border crossing points will be used for regional transport by freight vehicles. Authorisations for this type of transport shall be granted on the basis of the conditions set out in Annex 3 to this Agreement. The legislation granting authorisations for freight transport carried out in road freight transport across national borders is not affected.
2. Annex 3 to this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement between the Parties by means of an exchange of diplomatic notes.
At the border crossing points at which border handling is carried out under the Treaty between the Czech Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany on the facilitation of border handling in rail, road and water transport on 19 May 1995, the Contracting Parties shall, where possible due to spatial possibilities, establish a joint forward border handling post in order to limit the handling by the border authorities of the two States to one stop.
1. This Agreement shall enter into force one month after the date on which the Parties exchange diplomatic notes on the fulfilment of the national conditions for entry into force of the Agreement.
This Agreement shall be concluded for an indefinite period. It may be denounced in writing by each Party by diplomatic means. The denunciation shall take effect 6 months after the other Party has received it.
3. This Agreement will replace the Protocol between the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the German Democratic Republic on the status of border crossing points at the common state borders, signed in Prague on 5 August 1971.
