Ratificira se Sporazum med Republiko Slovenijo in Nordijsko investicijsko banko, podpisan v Ljubljani 27. oktobra 1999.

Sporazum se v izvirniku v angleškem jeziku in prevodu glasi:

A G R E E M EN T
BETWEEN REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA     AND NORDIC INVESTMENT BANK

Whereas
    – The Nordic Investment Bank (hereinafter referred to as “NIB“) was established pursuant to a treaty dated December 4, 1975 between Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden;
    – The Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter referred to as “Slovenia“) and NIB desire to establish the basis for long-term cooperation in utilising financing provided by NIB for projects of interest to Slovenia and the Nordic countries;
    – In pursuance thereof the framework of operations and the legal status of NIB in Slovenia shall be determined;
    NOW THEREFORE it is hereby agreed as follows:

1

Slovenia, and any public-, semi-public-, or private legal person in Slovenia is eligible for loans or guarantees made available by NIB pursuant to this Agreement. The proceeds of the financing may be used for any cost item of the selected projects.

2

Financing from NIB is complementary to other available financial sources. NIB will assist in the arrangement of advantageous financing of suitable projects through co-financing with other multilateral institutions, official and private financial institutions of its member countries, and other selected institutions.

3

The parties hereto shall on a regular basis discuss and exchange views on the objectives, lending criteria, and activities of NIB in Slovenia.

4

NIB shall enjoy in Slovenia the most extensive legal capacity accorded to legal persons under the laws of Slovenia. NIB may in particular hold, own and dispose of real property and be a party to legal proceedings, according to Slovene legislation. NIB shall, in terms of access to movable and immovable property, be granted the same treatment as accorded to any other international institution in which Slovenia is not a member, but shall in no way be restricted with respect to enforcement of the security right NIB may acquire in connection with its operations carried out in pursuance of this Agreement.

5

Slovenia recognizes that NIB is a multilateral financial institution which follows policies similar to other multilateral financial institutions as regards project execution and debt service obligations of its borrowers, including the policy of non-participation in any rescheduling of national debt.

6

All payments to NIB in respect of its financing or guarantees, and all transactions related to realisation of any security given for such financing or guarantees, shall be exempt from any tax, levy or impost of any nature whatsoever in Slovenia.

7

Entities in Slovenia, which enjoy financing or guarantees from NIB, or in which NIB has a security interest, shall be assured free access to purchase and transfer foreign currrency for the payment of interest, principal and other financial obligations towards NIB.

8

NIB itself, and entities in Slovenia, which enjoy financing or guarantees from NIB, or in which NIB has a security interest, shall benefit from treatment not less favourable than that available under current legislation of Slovenia or under any bilateral agreement on the reciprocal promotion and protection of investments to which Slovenia is a party.

9

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the interpretation, application or performance of this Agreement, including its existence, validity or termination, which is not settled by negotiation or other agreed mode of settlement within 60 days, shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Permanent Court of Arbitration Optional Rules for Arbitration involving International Organisations and States, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
    The number of arbitrators shall be three.
    The language to be used in the arbitral proceeding shall be English.

10

This Agreement shall enter into force upon notification by Slovenia of the completion of its constitutional requirements for entry into force of international agreements and shall remain in force until either party notifies the other party of termination thereof. Notwithstanding such termination the provisions hereof shall remain in force for all contracts within the scope of this Agreement signed before the notification until all sums due under such contracts have been fully paid.
    Notwithstanding the above, all clauses of this Agreement will be applicable to any activity carried out by NIB within the territory of Slovenia after the date of execution of this Agreement.
    Signed in Ljubljana on October 27, 1999.

For the     Republic of Slovenia     Mitja Gaspari, (s)     For the Nordic     Investment Bank     Jön Sigurdsson, (s)     Martin Relander, (s)
