AGREEMENT
between the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of Bulgaria concerning international road transport
The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of Bulgaria, led by their wish to regulate the carriage of passengers and freight by road vehicles, agreed between the two States and the transit of their territories as follows:
I. Passenger transport
1. Within the meaning of this Agreement, passenger transport between the two States shall be divided into regular, shuttle and irregular passenger services.
2. The regular transport is transport on bus lines, carried out according to published transport conditions, fares and timetables of buses along a specified route, indicating the places (stops) of boarding and leaving passengers.
3. The shuttle service shall be the transport of groups of passengers at specified dates from the territory of one State to the place of temporary residence in the territory of the other State or by transit through their territory with the return of such passengers by buses of the same carrier to the State from which they originally left. The shuttle transports take the first way back and the last way there is by empty bus.
4. An irregular shipment shall be any international shipment which is not a shipment within the meaning of paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Article.
1. Regular bus routes between two States and transit through their territories shall be carried out on the basis of an authorisation.
2. The competent authorities of each Contracting Party shall issue authorisations for that part of the line passing through their territory.
1. Shuttle transport shall be carried out on authorisation.
2. The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall transmit to each other annual authorisations within the contingent agreed for next year. If the number of authorisations submitted is insufficient, the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall issue the required authorisations retrospectively during the year.
When transporting passengers under this Agreement, a driving order and a passenger list shall be available on each bus. The content and manner of completion of the list shall be agreed by the Joint Committee established under Article 18 of this Agreement.
II. Carriage of costs
1. The transport of costs between the two States or the transit of their territories shall be carried out on the basis of a permit, with the exception of the shipments referred to in Article 6.

Each Contracting Party reserves the right to require a special permit to carry dangerous goods.
Carriage by road vehicles shall be carried out under this Agreement on the basis of the bill of lading used in international road transport.
III. General provisions
Carriage of passengers and freight under this Agreement may be carried out by carriers which have their registered office in the territory of one of the Contracting Parties and who are entitled to carry out such transport under the national rules of their country.
If the weight and dimensions of the vehicles used and the cargo carried exceed the weight or dimensions not exceeding the maximum permitted in the territory of the other Contracting Party, a special authorisation by the competent authorities of that Contracting Party shall be required for such carriage in addition to the authorisation provided for in Articles 3 and 5 (1) of this Agreement.
1. Carriers of one of the Contracting Parties may not carry out the carriage of passengers or goods between two places situated in the territory of the other Contracting Party, except where they are given a special authorisation issued by the competent authorities of that Contracting Party.
2. Carriers of one Contracting Party may carry costs from the territory of the other Contracting Party to and from the territory of a third State by transit through the territory of their State. Other shipments from and to the territory of the other Contracting Party to and from the territory of a third State may take place only with the agreement of the competent authorities of the other Contracting Party.
The list of passengers carried, as well as the authorisations required under this Agreement, shall be made available in a vehicle moving through the territory of the other Contracting Party and shall be submitted at the request of the competent authorities of that Contracting Party.
1. Carriers of one of the Contracting Parties carrying out shipments under this Agreement to the territory of the other Contracting Party shall pay the taxes and charges fixed in that territory.
2. The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall be able, by mutual agreement, to waive, in part or in full, the taxes and charges associated with the implementation of shipments under this Agreement, as well as the issuing of authorisations for such shipments.

Parts which have been replaced must be exported or destroyed under the supervision of the customs authorities.
3. Clothing and other articles and travel foodstuffs and tobacco products for the personal use of the crew of the vehicle shall be permitted to be imported without import duties and import bans and restrictions if their nature and quantity correspond to the nature and duration of the transport carried out by the crew.
Payments resulting from the provisions of the following: The agreements shall be implemented in accordance with the payment agreements in force between the two Contracting Parties.
