DECLARATION
Ministry of Finance of the Czech Socialist Republic
of 23 June 1970
on amendments and additions to Decree No 197 / 1964 Coll., determining the scope and conditions of statutory liability insurance for damage caused by the operation of motor vehicles
The Ministry of Finance of the Czech Socialist Republic, in agreement with the participating ministries, provides, pursuant to § 16 (c) of Decree No. 54 / 1953 Coll., on road traffic:
With effect from the Czech Socialist Republic, Decree No. 197 / 1964 Coll., laying down the scope and conditions of statutory liability insurance for damage caused by the operation of motor vehicles, is amended and supplemented as follows:
1.
"(1) Legal liability insurance for damage caused in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic by the operation of motor vehicles shall apply, unless otherwise specified,
(a) operators and drivers of domestic motor vehicles;
(b) to operators and drivers of foreign motor vehicles.
The operator of a motor vehicle shall also be assessed for the purposes of this Decree by those who use motor vehicles without knowledge or against the will of the operator as well as by the operator of the undertaking in which the motor vehicle is repaired.
(2) The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not apply to those operators and drivers of foreign motor vehicles who, when entering the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, prove *) that their liability is insured by a foreign insurance company and that, within the meaning of the special agreements involving the insurance companies of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the Czech National Insurance Company is empowered to replace the damage caused by the operation of a motor vehicle during their stay in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in the same way as for the operator or driver of domestic motor vehicles, to the extent provided for by the Czechoslovak legislation on legal insurance. However, where the stay exceeds the period specified in the authorisation, the provisions of paragraph 1 shall apply from the first day of that extended period.
(3) For the purposes of this Regulation, motor vehicles shall mean, with the exception of rolling and overhead vehicles, any vehicle which may move by its own engine power, whether or not a technical vehicle licence or an equivalent licence required for motor vehicles abroad is issued for them; trailers and semi-trailers for such vehicles shall be considered as motor vehicles.
(4) The motor vehicle having the characteristics referred to in paragraph 3 shall be domestic or foreign depending on whether it has a permanent post in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic or abroad.
(5) Legal insurance of domestic motor vehicle operators and drivers also covers insurance events occurring in other European territories and in the non-European territory of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Turkey. However, this applies only for the period specified on the specific insurance certificate issued by the Czech State Insurance Agency (international car insurance card or other document). '
Article 22 (1) reads as follows:
"(1) If it is a foreign motor vehicle for which the operator and the driver are subject to statutory insurance under Paragraph 1 (1), the obligation to pay the insurance date of the entry into the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic shall arise and shall continue for the duration of his stay in that territory. '
3.
"If a foreign motor vehicle whose operator and driver are subject to the provisions of Paragraph 1 (2) is involved, the obligation to pay the premium shall arise only if the residence of that vehicle is extended in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic beyond the duration of the authorisation referred to in Paragraph 1 (2). This obligation arises on the first day of this extended period to the persons referred to in Paragraph 22 (2) and lasts for the extended stay of the vehicle in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. If insurance has not been paid, they shall be selected by the authority handling the vehicle on departure from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and transferred to the responsible branch of the insurance company. '
This decree shall take effect on the day of its publication.
Minister:
Lér, CSc., v. r.
*) The card is an international car insurance card or other document within the meaning of special agreements.
