1. Article 39 and the first paragraph of Article 49 of the EC Treaty shall fully apply only, in relation to the freedom of movement of workers and the freedom to provide services involving temporary movement of workers as defined in Article 1 of Directive 96/71/EC between Slovakia on the one hand, and Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Finland, Sweden and the United Kingdom on the other hand, subject to the transitional provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 14.
2. By way of derogation from Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 and until the end of the two year period following the date of accession, the present Member States will apply national measures, or those resulting from bilateral agreements, regulating access to their labour markets by Slovak nationals. The present Member States may continue to apply such measures until the end of the five year period following the date of accession.
Slovak nationals legally working in a present Member State at the date of accession and admitted to the labour market of that Member State for an uninterrupted period of 12 months or longer will enjoy access to the labour market of that Member State but not to the labour market of other Member States applying national measures.
Slovak nationals admitted to the labour market of a present Member State following accession for an uninterrupted period of 12 months or longer shall also enjoy the same rights.
The Slovak nationals mentioned in the second and third subparagraphs above shall cease to enjoy the rights contained in those subparagraphs if they voluntarily leave the labour market of the present Member State in question.
Slovak nationals legally working in a present Member State at the date of accession, or during a period when national measures are applied, and who were admitted to the labour market of that Member State for a period of less than 12 months shall not enjoy these rights.
3. Before the end of the two year period following the date of accession, the Council shall review the functioning of the transitional provisions laid down in paragraph 2, on the basis of a report from the Commission.
On completion of this review, and no later than at the end of the two year period following the date of accession, the present Member States shall notify the Commission whether they will continue applying national measures or measures resulting from bilateral agreements, or whether they will apply Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 henceforth. In the absence of such notification, Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 shall apply.
4. Upon Slovakia's request, one further review may be held. The procedure referred to in paragraph 3 shall apply and shall be completed within six months of receipt of Slovakia's request.
5. A Member State maintaining national measures or measures resulting from bilateral agreements at the end of the five year period indicated in paragraph 2 may, in case of serious disturbances of its labour market or threat thereof and after notifying the Commission, continue to apply these measures until the end of the seven year period following the date of accession. In the absence of such notification, Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 shall apply.
6. During the seven year period following the date of accession, those Member States in which, by virtue of paragraphs 3, 4 or 5, Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 apply as regards Slovak nationals, and which are issuing work permits to nationals of Slovakia for monitoring purposes during this period, will do so automatically.
7. Those Member States in which, by virtue of paragraphs 3, 4 or 5, Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 apply as regards Slovak nationals, may resort to the procedures set out in the subparagraphs below until the end of the seven year period following the date of accession.
When a Member State referred to in the first subparagraph undergoes or foresees disturbances on its labour market which could seriously threaten the standard of living or level of employment in a given region or occupation, that Member State shall inform the Commission and the other Member States thereof and shall supply them with all relevant particulars. On the basis of this information, the Member State may request the Commission to state that the application of Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 be wholly or partially suspended in order to restore to normal the situation in that region or occupation. The Commission shall decide on the suspension and on the duration and scope thereof not later than two weeks after receiving such a request and shall notify the Council of such a decision. Any Member State may, within two weeks from the date of the Commission's Decision, request the Council to annul or amend the Decision. The Council shall act on such a request within two weeks, by qualified majority.
A Member State referred to in the first subparagraph may, in urgent and exceptional cases, suspend the application of Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68, followed by a reasoned ex-post notification to the Commission.
8. As long as the application of Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 is suspended by virtue of paragraphs 2 to 5 and 7 above, Article 11 of the Regulation shall apply in Slovakia with regard to nationals of the present Member States, and in the present Member States with regard to Slovak nationals under the following conditions:
– the members of a worker's family referred to in Article 10(1)(a) of the Regulation, legally residing with the worker in the territory of a Member State at the date of accession, shall have, upon accession, immediate access to the labour market of that Member State. This does not apply to family members of a worker legally admitted to the labour market of that Member State for a period of less than 12 months;
– the members of a worker's family referred to in Article 10(1)(a) of the Regulation, legally residing with the worker in the territory of a Member State from a date later than the date of accession, but during the period of application of the transitional provisions laid down above, shall have access to the labour market of the Member State concerned once they have been resident in the Member State concerned for at least eighteen months or from the third year following the date of accession, whichever is the earlier.
These provisions shall be without prejudice to more favourable measures whether national or resulting from bilateral agreements.
9. Insofar as certain provisions of Directive 68/360/EEC may not be dissociated from those of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 whose application is deferred pursuant to paragraphs 2 to 5 and 7 and 8, Slovakia and the present Member States may derogate from those provisions to the extent necessary for the application of paragraphs 2 to 5 and 7 and 8.
10. Whenever national measures, or those resulting from bilateral agreements, are applied by the present Member States by virtue of the transitional provisions laid down above, Slovakia may maintain in force equivalent measures with regard to the nationals of the Member State or States in question.
11. If the application of Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 is suspended by any of the present Member States, Slovakia may resort to the procedures laid down in paragraph 7 with respect to the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland or Slovenia. During any such period work permits issued by Slovakia for monitoring purposes to nationals of the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland or Slovenia shall be issued automatically.
12. Any present Member State applying national measures in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 5 and 7 to 9, may introduce, under national law, greater freedom of movement than that existing at the date of accession, including full labour market access. From the third year following the date of accession, any present Member State applying national measures may at any time decide to apply Articles 1 to 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 1612/68 instead. The Commission shall be informed of any such decision.
13. In order to address serious disturbances or the threat thereof in specific sensitive service sectors on their labour markets, which could arise in certain regions from the transnational provision of services, as defined in Article 1 of Directive 96/71/EC, and as long as they apply, by virtue of the transitional provisions laid down above, national measures or those resulting from bilateral agreements to the free movement of Slovak workers, Germany and Austria may, after notifying the Commission, derogate from the first paragraph of Article 49 of the EC Treaty with a view to limit in the context of the provision of services by companies established in Slovakia, the temporary movement of workers whose right to take up work in Germany and Austria is subject to national measures.

To the extent that Germany or Austria derogate from the first paragraph of Article 49 of the EC Treaty in accordance with the preceding subparagraphs, Slovakia may, after notifying the Commission, take equivalent measures.
The effect of the application of this paragraph shall not result in conditions for the temporary movement of workers in the context of the transnational provision of services between Germany or Austria and Slovakia which are more restrictive than those prevailing on the date of signature of the Treaty of Accession.
14. The effect of the application of paragraphs 2 to 5 and 7 to 12 shall not result in conditions for access of Slovak nationals to the labour markets of the present Member States which are more restrictive than those prevailing on the date of signature of the Treaty of Accession.
Notwithstanding the application of the provisions laid down in paragraphs 1 to 13, the present Member States shall, during any period when national measures or those resulting from bilateral agreements are applied, give preference to workers who are nationals of the Member States over workers who are nationals of third countries as regards access to their labour market.
Slovak migrant workers and their families legally resident and working in another Member State or migrant workers from other Member States and their families legally resident and working in Slovakia shall not be treated in a more restrictive way than those from third countries resident and working in that Member State or Slovakia respectively. Furthermore, in application of the principle of Community preference, migrant workers from third countries resident and working in Slovakia shall not be treated more favourably than nationals of Slovakia.
2. FREEDOM TO PROVIDE SERVICES
31997 L 0009: Directive 97/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 March 1997 on investor-compensation schemes (OJ L 84, 26.3.1997, p. 22).
By way of derogation from Article 4(1) of Directive 97/9/EC, the minimum level of compensation shall not apply in Slovakia until 31 December 2006.

During the transitional period the other Member States will retain the right to prevent a branch of a Slovak investment firm established on their territories from operating unless and until such a branch has joined an officially recognised investor-compensation scheme within the territory of the Member State concerned in order to cover the difference between the Slovak level of compensation and the minimum level referred to in Article 4(1).
3. FREE MOVEMENT OF CAPITAL
Treaty on European Union;
Treaty establishing the European Community.
Notwithstanding the obligations under the Treaties on which the European Union is founded, Slovakia may maintain in force for seven years from the date of accession the rules regarding the acquisition by non-residents of agricultural land and forests laid down in Foreign Exchange Act No. 202/1995 Coll. and in Act No. 229/1991 Coll. on Ownership of Land and Agricultural Property, as amended. In no instance may a national of a Member State be treated less favourably in respect of the acquisition of agricultural land and forests than at the date of signature of the Accession Treaty or be treated in a more restrictive way than a national of a third country.
Nationals of the other Member States who want to establish themselves as self-employed farmers and who have been legally resident and active in farming in Slovakia for at least three years continuously, shall not be subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph or to any procedures other than those to which nationals of Slovakia are subject.
A general review of these transitional measures shall be held before the end of the third year following the date of accession. To this effect, the Commission shall submit a report to the Council. The Council may, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, decide to shorten or terminate the transitional period indicated in the first paragraph.
Should Slovakia introduce authorisation procedures for the acquisition of real estate in Slovakia by non-residents during the transitional period, they shall be based on transparent, objective, stable and public criteria. These criteria shall be applied in a non-discriminatory manner and shall not differentiate between nationals of Slovakia and of other Member States.
If there is sufficient evidence that, upon expiry of the transitional period, there will be serious disturbances or a threat of serious disturbances on the agricultural land market of Slovakia, the Commission, at the request of Slovakia, shall decide upon the extension of the transitional period for up to a maximum of three years.
4. COMPETITION POLICY
1. Treaty establishing the European Community, Title VI, Chapter 1, Rules on Competition.
(a) Notwithstanding Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty and provided that the conditions set out below are fulfilled, Slovakia may apply until the end of the fiscal year 2008 the corporate income tax exemption granted on the basis of Government Regulation No 192/1998 Coll. to one beneficiary in the motor vehicle industry, provided that the total aid under this tax exemption does not exceed 30% of the eligible investment costs of the relevant project incurred since 1998.
For the purposes of this paragraph, eligible costs shall be defined on the basis of the Guidelines on national regional aid OJ C 74, 10.3.1998, p. 9..
(b) Slovakia shall supply to the Commission monitoring reports containing the following information:
– on a half-yearly basis, information on the eligible investment undertaken by the aid beneficiary, and,
– on an annual basis, information on the aid granted to the aid beneficiary under the aid scheme referred to above.
Slovakia shall provide the reports within four months of the end of each half year or year, beginning by the end of April 2003. The first reports shall include the information relating to the years 1998-2002. The last report shall be submitted by the end of August 2009, unless agreed otherwise by the Commission and Slovakia.
(c) Without prejudice to the preceding paragraph, the provisions on monitoring contained in Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty shall apply.
(d) If the total aid reaches before the end of the fiscal year 2008 the maximum admissible level set out in paragraph (a), the tax exemption shall be discontinued and the normal corporate income tax shall be due by the beneficiary for that part of the company's earnings whose exemption from the tax would result in exceeding the maximum admissible level.
2. Treaty establishing the European Community, Title VI, Chapter 1, Rules on Competition.
(a) Notwithstanding Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty, Slovakia may apply until the end of the fiscal year 2009 the corporate income tax exemption on the basis of Act No 366/1999 Coll. on Income Tax to one beneficiary in the steel industry, provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i) the aid beneficiary caps its production of flat products and its sales of flat products (hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated) in the enlarged EU. These caps shall be established on the basis of the figures concerned for the year 2001. As from 2002, the aid beneficiary may make annual increases of 3% in the cap for production and 2% in the cap for sales. The cap for sales shall take effect as from the date of accession. Output of specific product types may vary on condition that combined output does not exceed the established caps;
(ii) the beneficiary does not extend its range of groups of finished products existing on 13 December 2002;

All aid granted to the same beneficiary during the transitional period must be included within the level of US $ 500 million.
(iv) the beneficiary meets the terms of the privatisation contract regarding the maintenance of employment levels.
If the tax concession to the aid beneficiary is adapted in such a way as to guarantee a significant reduction in the total aid amount while not jeopardising viability, the Commission may review the above conditions in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty. Before beginning this procedure, the Commission shall take full account of the views of Member States on whether a reduction of aid is significant. These views shall be expressed on the basis of a Commission recommendation and on the basis of available relevant information.
(b) Slovakia shall supply to the Commission and the Council half-yearly monitoring reports containing the following information as regards the aid beneficiary:
– production (in tonnes) of each of the following products: hot rolled coil, cold rolled sheet, galvanised sheet, tinplate, electrical sheet, organic coated sheet, welded tubes, as well as any other product (to be specified);

– once a year, the cost of staffing in the year and since privatisation;
– once a year, profits before tax for the fiscal year and the specified total amount of aid.
Slovakia shall provide these reports within four months of the end of each half year, beginning by the end of April 2003. The first report shall include the information relating to the years 2000, 2001 and 2002. The last report shall be submitted by the end of April 2010, unless agreed otherwise by the Commission, the Council and Slovakia.
(c) Without prejudice to the preceding paragraph, the provisions on monitoring as contained in Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty shall apply.
