CONVENTION
between the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of Bulgaria on cooperation on plant protection against pests, diseases and weeds
The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the People's Republic of Bulgaria, led by the desire to consolidate and expand cooperation in order to protect the territory of both States against introduction of quarantine pests, plant and weed diseases, have agreed on the following:
The Contracting Parties undertake:
(a) implement the necessary measures in their national territory against quarantine pests, plant diseases and weeds (hereinafter referred to as "pest") listed in the Annex to this Convention;
(b) apply all measures to prevent the introduction into the national territory of the other Party of plant pests listed in the Annex to this Convention of exported consignments of plants and plant products (hereinafter referred to as "consignments") or other means;
(c) when exporting consignments, comply with the relevant laws and quarantine regulations of the importing State;
(d) bear a health certificate issued by the competent authorities of the exporting State stating that the consignment is free from pests of plants listed in the Annex to this Convention and that it also complies with the additional quarantine conditions of the importing State.
The Contracting Parties shall apply all necessary measures to protect their national territories from introduction of plant pests from third States.
Therefore, each Contracting Party shall establish in its national territory the principles according to which the importation of consignments from any third State shall be carried out only with the agreement of the competent authorities which determine the quarantine conditions for the import and use of consignments.
The transit of consignments shall be allowed where they are accompanied by a health certificate and comply with the quarantine rules of the State whose territory the consignments are accompanied.
The Contracting Parties undertake:
(a) to avoid the use of hay, straw, husk, leaves and other waste of agricultural plants as packaging material when exporting and to this end, preferably use sawdust, shavings and other materials which exclude the possibility of transporting plant pests;
(b) to dispose of exported consignments of all removable soil residues;
(c) remove from the means of transport used to transport consignments any impurities and, if necessary, effectively recover them.
The import, export and transit of consignments shall be carried out by border crossing points designated by the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall carry out plant health inspections of imported or accompanying consignments as appropriate and shall implement quarantine measures within the meaning of the laws and regulations of the importing or transit State.
If the competent authorities of one of the Contracting Parties do not permit the import or transit of consignments or provide for specific quarantine measures, they shall immediately inform the competent authorities of the other Contracting Party.
The Parties shall provide each other with the necessary technical and technical assistance to protect plants against pests under the conditions agreed in each individual case between the competent authorities.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall inform each other of:
(a) by 1 April each year, on the occurrence and spread of economically hazardous plant pests, as well as the measures taken to eradicate them. If a new pest is detected, they shall be informed immediately;
(b) the laws and regulations relating to plant protection and governing the import, export and transit of consignments no later than 30 days after their issue;
(c) the results of scientific research as well as the new methods and means of plant protection, as well as the publication of journals, monographs and other relevant publications in the field of plant protection.
The Parties agree:
(a) to send each other, as appropriate, experts to study scientific knowledge and exchange experience in the plant protection sector;
(b) enable experts of the other Contracting Party to specialise in plant protection facilities and institutes;
(c) set up, as appropriate, joint committees to coordinate plant protection activities.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties shall convene, as appropriate and at least every three years, joint plant protection consultations to discuss and address practical and scientific tasks and to exchange experience on this section.
The meetings shall be held alternately on the national territory of both Contracting Parties. The time, place and schedule of such consultations shall be determined by agreement of the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties.
The competent authorities of the Contracting Parties may establish direct contact at any time with a view to addressing issues related to the implementation of the measures referred to in this Convention.
The costs of sending experts in accordance with Article 8 (a) and (b) of this Convention shall be borne by the Party sending experts.
The amount of assigned revenue in accordance with Article 21 (3) of the Financial Regulation is estimated at EUR 5000000. (c) the Party in whose national territory these commissions will work shall be covered by this Convention.
The costs associated with the organisation of meetings in accordance with Article 9 shall be borne by the Party in whose national territory that meeting will take place. The costs of sending experts to such meetings shall be borne by the Party which sent them.
The attached list of plant pests is an integral part of this Convention. The list may be supplemented or amended by the competent authorities of the Contracting Parties.
Such additions or amendments shall be communicated to the other Contracting Party by diplomatic channels and shall enter into force 30 days after receipt of a note on the additions or amendments made.
The provisions of this Convention shall not affect the rights and obligations of the Contracting Parties arising from agreements previously concluded as well as membership of international plant protection organisations.
This Convention shall be subject to approval under the national provisions of each Contracting Party and shall enter into force on the date of the exchange of notes on such approval.
The Convention shall be concluded for a period of 5 years and shall be extended for a further five-year period each time, unless one of the Contracting Parties denies it in writing six months before its expiry.
