THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

РАМОЧНОЕ СОГЛАШЕНИЕ

Normally it is advisable to conclude a framework agreement, within which the individual countertrade transactions shall operate. But sometimes in a long-term or major construction contract it is usual to build the countertrade provisions, e.g. the buy-back clauses, into the main contract without concluding a framework agreement.

Как правило, целесообразно заключать рамочное соглашение, в рамках которого действуют отдельные сделки о встречной торговле. Но иногда в долгосрочном контракте или крупном строительном контракте принято создавать положения о встречной торговле, например,  условия обратного выкупа, в основной контракт без заключения рамочного соглашения.

The framework agreement should contain a clear definition of the mutual obligations of the parties. The countertraded goods should be specified and it should be provided whether their value should be ascertained on a fob or cif basis. Further, the restrictions as to the markets in which (hey may be sold should be specified. Arrangements should be made for a settlement account or evidence  ac­count and for the payment of the credit balance on termination of the agreement in cash.

Рамочное соглашение должно содержать четкое определение взаимных обязательств сторон. Должны быть указаны, а также должна быть указана их стоимость на условии FOB или CIF. Кроме того, ограничения на рынках, на которых они могут быть проданы, должны быть указаны. Должны быть созданы договоренности для открытия счета или доказательств счета и для оплаты кредитового сальдо на расторжение договоре в денежной форме.

If the exporter intends to realize the countertrade proceeds at once by an open factoring arrangement, the factor should he a parlay to the framework agreement. The framework agreement often contains provisions for nonperformance of the countertrade obligations y the exporter. A choice of law clause and an arbi­tration clause should be provided. It simplifies mailers if all contracts, viz. the framework agreement, the export sale and the counter sale, are submitted to the same legal system.

Если экспортер имеет намерение реализовать поступления встречной торговли сразу при помощи открытого факторинга, фактор должен в рамках рамочного соглашения. Рамочное соглашение часто содержит положения о неисполнении обязательств экспортером. Выбор юрисдикции и арбитражное соглашение также должны быть оговорены. Это упрощает почтовые затраты, если все контракты заключены в рамках рамочного соглашения, экспортные продажи и встречные продажи подведены к одной и той же правовой системе.

Sometimes the framework agreement lakes the form of a letter of intent, bull this is unsatisfactory because a letter of intent is not enforceable in law.

Adopted from the Journal of Business Law.

Иногда рамочное соглашение похоже на форму письма о намерениях, но это неправда, поскольку письмо о намерении не является обязательным к исполнению по закону.
