3. The Parties furthermore recognise that the illicit manufacture, transfer and circulation of small arms and light weapons, including their ammunition, and their excessive accumulation and uncontrolled spread continue to pose a serious threat to peace and international security.

The Parties consider that the establishment and effective functioning of the International Criminal Court constitutes an important development for international peace and justice and that the Court represents an effective instrument to investigate and prosecute perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole when national courts are not willing or able to do so, given the International Criminal Court's complementarity to national criminal jurisdiction.

Article 21

Citizen Security

The Parties shall dialogue on citizen security, which is fundamental to promote human development, democracy, good governance, and respect human rights and fundamental freedoms.

Application of a Bilateral Safeguard Measure

1. Notwithstanding Sub-Section B.2 (Multilateral Safeguard Measures), if as a result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, a product originating in a Party is being imported into the territory of the other Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to domestic production, and under such conditions so as to constitute a substantial cause or threat of serious injury to domestic producers of like or directly competitive products, the importing Party may take appropriate measures under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures laid down in this Sub-Section.

2. If the conditions in paragraph 1 are met, the safeguard measures of the importing Party may only consist of one of the following:

(a) suspension of the further reduction of the rate of customs duty on the product concerned provided for under this Agreement; or

(b) increase in the rate of customs duty on the product concerned to a level which does not exceed the lesser of:

(i) the most-favoured nation applied rate of customs duty on the product in effect at the time the measure is taken; or

(ii) the most-favoured nation applied rate of customs duty on the product in effect on the day immediately preceding the date of entry into force of this Agreement.

3. In case of products which were already fully liberalised before the entry into force of this Agreement following tariff preferences granted before the entry into force of this Agreement, the EU Party shall examine with special care whether increased imports result from the reduction or elimination of customs duties under this Agreement.

4. None of the above measures shall be applied within the limits of the preferential duty free tariff quotas granted by this Agreement.

Article 105

Conditions and Limitations

1. A bilateral safeguard measure may not be applied:

(a) except to the extent, and for such time, as may be necessary to prevent or remedy the situation described in Article 104 or 109;

(b) for a period exceeding two years. The period may be extended by another two years if the competent authorities of the importing Party determine, in conformity with the procedures specified in this Sub-Section, that the measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy the situations described in Article 104 or 109, provided that the total period of application of a safeguard measure, including the period of initial application and any extension thereof, does not exceed four years; or

(c) beyond the expiration of the transition period, except with the consent of the other Party. "Transition period" means ten years from the date of entry into force of this Agreement. For any good for which the Schedule in Annex I (Elimination of Customs Duties) of the Party applying the measure provides for tariff elimination of ten or more years, transition period means the tariff elimination period for the goods set out in that Schedule, plus three years.

2. When a Party ceases to apply a bilateral safeguard measure, the rate of customs duty shall be the rate that would have been in effect for the good, according to the Schedule of that Party.

Article 106

Provisional Measures

In critical circumstances where delay would cause damage that would be difficult to repair, a Party may apply a bilateral safeguard measure on a provisional basis, without complying with the requirements of Article 116, paragraph 1 of this Chapter, pursuant to a preliminary determination that there is clear evidence that imports of a product originating in the other Party have increased as the result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, and that such imports cause or threaten to cause the situations described in Article 104 or 109. The duration of any provisional measure shall not exceed two hundred days, during which time the Party shall comply with the relevant procedural rules laid down in Sub-Section B.4 (Procedural Rules Applicable to Bilateral Safeguard Measures). The Party shall promptly refund any tariff increases if the investigation described in Sub-Section B.4 does not result in a finding that the requirements of Article 104 are met. The duration of any provisional measure shall be counted as part of the period described in Article 105, paragraph 1(b). The importing Party concerned shall inform the other Party concerned upon taking such provisional measures and it shall immediately refer the matter to the Association Committee for examination if the other Party so requests.

Article 107

Compensation and Suspension of Concessions

1. A Party applying a bilateral safeguard measure shall consult with the Party whose products are subject to the measure in order to mutually agree on appropriate trade liberalising compensation in the form of concessions having substantially equivalent trade effect. The Party shall provide an opportunity for such consultations no later than thirty days after the application of the bilateral safeguard measure.

2. If the consultations under paragraph 1 do not result in an agreement on trade liberalising compensation within thirty days, the Party whose products are subject to the safeguard measure may suspend the application of substantially equivalent concessions to the trade of the Party applying the safeguard measure.

Article 108

Time Lapse in between Two Measures

No safeguard measure referred to in this Sub-Section shall be applied to the import of a product that has previously been subject to such a measure, unless a period of time equal to half of that during which the safeguard measure was applied for the immediately preceding period has elapsed.

Article 109

Outermost Regions

1. Where any product originating in one or several of the Republics of the CA Party is being imported into the territory of one or several outermost regions of the EU Party in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause serious deterioration in the economic situation of the outermost region(s) concerned of the EU Party, the EU Party, after having examined alternative solutions, may exceptionally take safeguard measures limited to the territory of the region(s) concerned.

2. Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 1, other rules laid down in this Sub-Section applicable to bilateral safeguards are also applicable to any safeguard adopted under this Article.

3. The Association Council may discuss whether in cases of threat of, or serious deterioration in the economic situation of extremely underdeveloped regions of the Republics of the CA Party, this Article may also apply to those regions.

Sub-section B.4

Procedural rules applicable to bilateral safeguard measures

Article 110

Applicable Law

For the application of bilateral safeguard measures, the competent investigating authority shall comply with the provisions of this Sub-Section and in cases not covered by this Sub-Section, the competent investigating authority shall apply the rules established under its domestic legislation.

Article 111

Initiation of a Proceeding

1. Pursuant to each Party's domestic legislation, a safeguard proceeding may be initiated by the competent investigating authority on its own initiative, upon receipt of information from one or more Member States of the European Union, or upon a written application by entities specified in domestic legislation. In the cases when the proceeding is initiated on the basis of a written application, the entity filing the application shall demonstrate that it is representative of the domestic industry producing a good like or directly competitive with the imported good.

2. Once the written applications have been filed, these shall promptly be made available for public inspections, except for the confidential information contained.

3. Upon initiation of a safeguard proceeding, the competent investigating authority shall publish a notice of initiation of the proceeding in the official journal of the Party. The notice shall identify the entity which filed the written application, if applicable, the imported good that is the subject of the proceeding and its subheading and the tariff item number under which it is classified, the nature and timing of the determination to be made, the time and place of the public hearing or the period within which interested parties may apply to be heard orally by the investigating authority, the period within which interested parties may make known their views in writing and submit information, the place at which the written application and any other non-confidential documents filed in the course of the proceeding may be inspected and the name, address and telephone number of the office to be contacted for more information.

4. With respect to a safeguard proceeding initiated on the basis of a written application filed by an entity asserting that it is representative of the domestic industry, the competent investigating authority shall not publish the notice required by paragraph 3 without first assessing carefully that the written application meets the requirements of its domestic legislation.

Article 112

Investigation

1. A Party may apply a safeguard measure only following an investigation by the competent investigating authority of that Party pursuant to procedures laid down in this Sub-Section. This investigation shall include reasonable public notice to all interested parties and public hearings or other appropriate means in which importers, exporters and other interested parties could present evidence and their views, including the opportunity to respond to the presentations of other parties.

2. Each Party shall ensure that its competent investigating authority completes any such investigation within twelve months of its date of initiation.

Article 113

Evidence of Injury and Causal Link

1. In conducting its proceeding, the competent investigating authority shall evaluate all relevant factors of an objective and quantifiable nature having a bearing on the situation of the domestic industry, in particular the rate and amount of the increase in imports of the good concerned in absolute terms or relative to domestic production, the share of the domestic market taken by increased imports, and changes in the level of sales, production, productivity, capacity utilisation, profits and losses, and employment.

2. The determination whether increased imports have caused or are threatening to cause the situations described in Article 104 or 109, shall not be made, unless the investigation demonstrates, on the basis of objective evidence, the existence of a clear causal link between increased imports of the good concerned and the situations described in Article 104 or 109. Where factors other than increased imports are, at the same time, causing the situations described in Article 104 or 109, such injury or serious deterioration in the economic situation shall not be attributed to increased imports.

Article 114

Hearings

In the course of each proceeding, the competent investigating authority shall:

(a) hold a public hearing, after providing reasonable notice, to allow all interested parties and any representative consumer association, to appear in person or by counsel, to present evidence and to be heard on serious injury or threat of serious injury, and the appropriate remedy; or

(b) provide an opportunity to all interested parties to be heard where they have made a written application within the period laid down in the notice of initiation showing that they are actually likely to be affected by the outcome of the investigation and that there are special reasons for them to be heard orally.

Article 115

Confidential Information

Any information which is by nature confidential or which is provided on a confidential basis shall, upon cause being shown, be treated as such by the competent investigating authority. Such information shall not be disclosed without permission of the Party submitting it. Parties providing confidential information may be requested to furnish non-confidential summaries thereof or, if such parties indicate that such information cannot be summarised, the reasons why a summary cannot be provided. However, if the competent investigating authority finds that a request for confidentiality is not warranted and if the party concerned is either unwilling to make the information public or to authorise its disclosure in generalised or summary form, the authority may disregard such information unless it can be demonstrated to their satisfaction from appropriate sources that the information is correct.

Article 116

Notifications and Publications

1. Where a Party takes the view that one of the circumstances set out in Article 104 or 109 exists, it shall immediately refer the matter to the Association Committee for examination. The Association Committee may make any recommendation needed to remedy the circumstances which have arisen. If no recommendation has been made by the Association Committee aimed at remedying the circumstances, or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within thirty days of the matter being referred to the Association Committee, the importing Party may adopt the appropriate measures to remedy the circumstances in accordance with this Sub-Section.

2. The competent investigating authority shall provide the exporting Party with all pertinent information, which shall include evidence of injury or serious deterioration in the economic situation, caused by increased imports, precise description of the product involved and the proposed measures, proposed date of imposition and expected duration.

3. The competent investigating authority shall also publish its findings and reasoned conclusions reached on all pertinent issues of fact and law in the official journal of the Party, including the description of the imported good and the situation which has given rise to the imposition of measures in accordance with Article 104 or 109, the causal link between such situation and the increased imports, and the form, level and duration of the measures.

4. The competent investigating authority shall not disclose any information provided pursuant to any undertaking concerning confidential information that may have been made in the course of the proceedings.

To this end, the Parties undertake to carry out joint actions that may include:

(a) strengthening their cooperation in the field of standards, technical regulations, metrology, accreditation and conformity assessment with a view to increasing mutual understanding of their respective systems and, in areas of common interest, explore trade facilitation initiatives which lead to the convergence of their regulatory requirements. To this end, they may establish regulatory dialogues at both horizontal and sectoral levels;

(b) seeking to identify, develop and promote trade facilitating initiatives which may include, but are not limited to:

Transparency and Notification Procedures

The Parties agree:

(a) to fulfil the transparency obligations of the Parties as indicated in the TBT Agreement and provide early warning of the introduction of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures having a significant effect on trade between the Parties, and when such technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures are introduced, to leave sufficient time between their publication and entry into force for economic operators to adapt to them;

(b) when making notifications in accordance with the TBT Agreement, to allow the other Party at least sixty days following the notification to provide comments in writing on the proposal except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise and, where practicable, to give appropriate consideration to reasonable requests for extending the comment period. This period will be extended if the WTO TBT Committee so recommends; and

(c) to give appropriate consideration to the other Party's views where part of the process in the development of a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure is, prior to the WTO notification process, open to public consultation in accordance with the procedures of each region; and on request to provide written responses to the comments made by the other Party.

(a) exchange views on market surveillance and enforcement activities; and

(b) ensure that market surveillance is carried out by the competent authorities in an independent manner, with a view to avoid conflicts of interest.

Article 137

Fees

The Parties undertake to ensure that:

(a) any fees imposed for assessing the conformity of products originating in the territory of one Party are equitable in relation to any fees chargeable for assessing the conformity of like products of national origin or originating in the territory of the other Party, taking into account communication, transportation and other costs arising from differences between the location of the facilities of the applicant and the conformity assessment body;

(b) a Party shall give an opportunity to the other Party to make a representation against the amount charged for assessing the conformity of products when the fee is excessive in relation to the cost of the certification service and where this undermines the competitiveness of its products; and

(c) the anticipated processing period for any mandatory conformity assessment is reasonable and equitable for imported and domestic goods.

Article 138

Marking and Labelling

1. The Parties recall, as stated in Article 1 of Annex 1 of the TBT Agreement, that a technical regulation may include or deal exclusively with marking or labelling requirements, and agree that where their technical regulations require any marking or labelling requirements, they will observe the principles of Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement.

2. In particular, the Parties agree:

(a) to require only marking or labelling relevant to consumers or users of the product or to indicate the product's conformity with the mandatory technical requirements [7];

(b) if it is necessary in view of the risk of the products to human, animal or plant health or life, the environment, or national safety, the Parties may:

(i) require the approval, registration or certification of labels or markings as a precondition for sale on their respective markets; or

(ii) establish requirements on the physical characteristics or design of a label, in particular that the information be placed in a specific part of the product or in a given format or size.

The above is understood without prejudice to the measures adopted by the Parties pursuant to their internal rules to check the compliance of labels with the mandatory requirements and measures they take to control practices which may mislead consumers;

(c) where a Party requires the use of a unique identification number by economic operators, it shall issue such a number to the other Party's economic operators without undue delay and on a non-discriminatory basis;

(d) provided it is not misleading, contradictory or confusing in relation to the information required in the country of destination of the goods, the Parties shall permit the following:

(i) information in other languages in addition to the language required in the country of destination of the goods;

(ii) international nomenclatures, pictograms, symbols or graphics; and

(iii) additional information to that required in the country of destination of the goods;

(e) the Party shall, where legitimate objectives under the TBT Agreement are not compromised and the information can properly reach the consumer, endeavour to accept non-permanent or detachable labels, or marking or labelling in the accompanying documentation rather than physically attached to the product; and

(f) the Parties shall allow that labelling and corrections to labelling take place in the country of destination prior to the commercialisation of the goods.

3. Taking into account paragraph 2, the Parties agree that, when a Party requires marking or labelling of textiles, clothing or footwear, the following information alone may be required to be permanently marked:

(a) in the case of textiles and clothing: fibre content, country of origin, safety instructions for specific uses and care instructions; and

(b) in the case of footwear: the predominant materials of the main parts, safety instructions for specific uses and country of origin.

4. The Parties shall apply the provisions of this Article within one year from the entry into force of this Agreement at the latest.

Article 139

Sub-Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade

1. The Parties hereby establish a Sub-Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade, in accordance with Article 348 and as set out in Annex XXI (Sub-Committees).

2. The Sub-Committee shall have the following functions:

(a) discuss any matter relating to the application of this Chapter that could affect trade between the Parties;

(b) monitor the implementation and administration of this Chapter; promptly addressing any issue that either Party raises related to the development, adoption, application, or enforcement of standards, technical regulations, and conformity assessment procedures; and at either Party's request, consulting on any matter arising under this Chapter;

(d) provide a forum for discussion in order to solve problems or issues that hinder or limit trade, within the limits of the scope and objective of this Chapter;

(e) enhance cooperation in the development and improvement of standards, technical regulations, and conformity assessment procedures; including the exchange of information between the relevant public or private bodies working on these matters and encourage direct interaction between non-governmental actors, such as standard bodies, accreditators and certifiers;

(f) facilitate the exchange of information about the work being done in non-governmental, regional and multilateral fora engaged in activities related to technical regulations, standardisation and conformity assessment procedures;

(g) explore ways to facilitate trade between the Parties;

(h) report on the cooperation programs established under Article 57 of Title VI (Economic and Trade Development) of Part III of this Agreement, their achievements and the impact of these projects in facilitating trade and in implementing the provisions of this Chapter;

(i) review this Chapter in the light of any developments under the TBT Agreement;

(j) report to the Association Committee on the implementation of the provisions of this Chapter, in particular the advances in the fulfilment of the goals established and the provisions related to special and differential treatment;

(k) take any other steps the Parties consider will assist them in implementing this Chapter;

(l) establish dialogues between regulators in accordance with Article 134(a) of this Chapter and, where appropriate, working groups to discuss different topics of interest to the Parties. The working groups may include or consult with non-governmental experts and stakeholders; and

SECTION B

Computer services

Article 180

Understanding on Computer Services

1. To the extent that trade in computer services is committed in the lists of commitments in accordance with Chapters 2, 3 and 4 of this Title, the Parties subscribe to the understanding defined in the following paragraphs.

2. CPC 84 [21], the United Nations code used for describing computer and related services, covers the basic functions used to provide all computer and related services: computer programs defined as the sets of instructions required to make computers work and communicate (including their development and implementation), data processing and storage, and related services, such as consultancy and training services for staff of clients. Technological developments have led to the increased offering of these services as a bundle or package of related services that can include some or all of these basic functions. For example, services such as web or domain hosting, data mining services and grid computing each consist of a combination of basic computer services functions.

3. Computer and related services, regardless of whether they are delivered via a network, including the Internet, include all services that provide:

(a) consulting, strategy, analysis, planning, specification, design, development, installation, implementation, integration, testing, debugging, updating, support, technical assistance, or management of or for computers or computer systems; or

(b) computer programs defined as the sets of instructions required to make computers work and communicate (in and of themselves), plus consulting, strategy, analysis, planning, specification, design, development, installation, implementation, integration, testing, debugging, updating, adaptation, maintenance, support, technical assistance, management or use of or for computer programs; or

(d) maintenance and repair services for office machinery and equipment, including computers; and

(e) training services for staff of clients, related to computer programs, computers or computer systems, and not elsewhere classified.

4. Computer and related services enable the provision of other services (for example financial services) by both electronic and other means. However, there is an important distinction between the enabling service (for example web-hosting, data processing or application hosting) and the content or core service that is being delivered electronically (for example financial services). In such cases, the content or core service is not covered by CPC 84.

Article 211

General Principles

1. With respect to any measure and any covered procurement, each Party, including its procuring entities, shall accord to the goods and services of the other Party and to the suppliers of the other Party offering the goods or services of any Party, treatment no less favourable than the treatment the Party, including its procuring entities, accords to domestic goods, services and suppliers.

2. With respect to any measure regarding covered procurement, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not:

(a) treat a locally established supplier less favourably than another locally established supplier on the basis of degree of foreign affiliation or ownership; nor

(b) discriminate against a locally established supplier on the basis that the goods or services offered by that supplier for a particular procurement are goods or services of the other Party.

3. Any EU Party supplier or service provider established in one Republic of the CA Party shall be accorded in all other Republics of the CA Party treatment no less favourable than the treatment the latter accord to their own suppliers or service providers with respect to any measure regarding a covered procurement.

Any supplier or service provider from a Republic of the CA Party established in one Member State of the European Union shall be accorded in all other Member States of the European Union treatment no less favourable than the treatment the latter accord to their own suppliers or service providers with respect to any measure regarding a covered procurement.

The Parties shall not introduce new requirements on the local establishment or registration of suppliers and service providers wishing to submit a tender in a covered procurement that would set suppliers and service providers of the other Party at a competitive disadvantage. Existing requirements will be subject to a review within ten years from the entry into force of this Agreement [32].

Use of Electronic Means

4. If a procuring entity conducts a covered procurement by electronic means, it shall:

(a) ensure that the procurement is conducted using information technology systems and software, including those related to authentication and encryption of information, that are generally available and interoperable with other generally available information technology systems and software; and

(b) maintain mechanisms that ensure the integrity of requests for participation and tenders, including establishment of the time and receipt and the prevention of inappropriate access.

Conduct of Procurement

5. A procuring entity shall conduct covered procurement in a transparent and impartial manner, that avoids conflicts of interest and prevents corruptive practices and that is consistent with this Title using methods such as open tendering, selective tendering and limited tendering. Additionally, the Parties shall establish or maintain sanctions against such corruptive practices.

Rules of Origin

6. For purposes of covered procurement, no Party shall apply rules of origin to goods or services imported from or supplied by another Party that are different from the rules of origin the Party applies, at the same time, in the normal course of trade to imports or supplies of the same goods or services from the same Party.

Offsets

7. Subject to the exceptions contained in this Title or the annexes pertaining thereto, no Party shall seek, take account of, impose or enforce offsets.

Article 212

Publication of Procurement Information

1. Each Party shall:

(a) promptly publish any law, regulation, judicial decision or administrative ruling of general application, standard contract clauses that are mandated by a law or regulation and incorporated by reference in notices and tender documentation and procedures regarding covered procurement, and any modifications thereof, in officially designated electronic or paper media that are widely disseminated and remain readily accessible to the public;

(b) provide, if so requested by any Party, further information concerning the application of such provisions;

(c) list in Appendix 2 (Media for Publication of Procurement Information) to Annex XVI, the electronic or paper media in which the Party publishes the information described in paragraph (a); and

2. The CA Party shall perform all reasonable efforts in order to develop a single point of access at regional level. The EU Party shall provide technical and financial assistance in order to develop, establish and maintain such a single point of access.

The implementation of this provision is subject to the materialisation of the initiative on technical and financial assistance for the development, establishment and maintenance of a single point of access at Central American level.

3. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party of any modification to the Party's information listed in Appendix 2 (Media for Publication of Procurement Information) or 3 (Media for Publication of Notices) to Annex XVI.

Article 213

For each covered procurement, except in the circumstances described in Article 220, a procuring entity shall publish a notice of intended procurement in the appropriate media listed in Appendix 3 (Media for Publication of Notices) to Annex XVI. Each notice shall include the information set out in Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement) to Annex XVI. These notices shall be accessible by electronic means free of charge through a single point of access at regional level, if and where they exist.

Notice of Planned Procurement

2. Procuring entities are encouraged to publish, as early as possible, each year, a notice regarding their future procurement plans (hereinafter referred to as "notice of planned procurement"). The notice shall include the subject-matter of the procurement and the approximate date of the publication of the notice of intended procurement or in which the procurement may be held.

3. A procuring entity may, if domestic legislation so foresees, use a notice of planned procurement as a notice of intended procurement provided that it includes as much of the information in Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement) as available and a statement that interested suppliers shall express their interest in the procurement to the procuring entity.

Article 214

Conditions for Participation

1. A procuring entity shall limit any conditions for participation in a procurement to those that are essential to ensure that a supplier has the legal and financial capacities and the commercial and technical abilities to undertake the relevant procurement.

2. In assessing whether a supplier satisfies the conditions for participation, a procuring entity shall evaluate the financial, commercial and technical abilities of the supplier on the basis of that supplier's business activities both in and out of the territory of the Party of the procuring entity, and it may not impose the condition that, in order for a supplier to participate in a procurement, that supplier must have previously been awarded one or more contracts by a procuring entity of a given Party or that the supplier must have prior work experience in the territory of a given Party.

3. In making this assessment, the procuring entity shall base its evaluation on the conditions that it has specified in advance in notices or tender documentation.

4. A procuring entity may exclude a supplier on grounds such as bankruptcy, false declarations, significant deficiencies in performance of any substantive requirement or obligation under a prior contract or contracts, judgments regarding crimes or other judgments regarding serious public offences, professional misconduct, failure to pay taxes or similar reasons.

Each Party may adopt or maintain procedures to declare ineligible for participation in the Party's procurements, either indefinitely or for a specified time, suppliers that the Party has found to have engaged in fraudulent or other illegal actions in relation to procurement. Upon request of the other Party, a Party shall identify, to the extent practicable, the suppliers determined to be ineligible under these procedures, and, where appropriate, exchange information regarding those suppliers or the fraudulent or illegal action.

5. The procuring entity may ask the tenderer to indicate in the tender any share of the contract the tenderer may intend to subcontract to third parties and any proposed subcontractors. This indication shall be without prejudice of questioning the principal economic operator's liability.

Article 215

Qualification or Registration of Suppliers

Selective Tendering

1. Where a procuring entity intends to use selective tendering, the entity shall:

(a) include in the notice of intended procurement at least the information specified in paragraph 1 of Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement), to Annex XVI and invite suppliers to submit a request for participation; and

(b) provide, by the commencement of the time-period for tendering, at least the information specified in paragraph 2 of Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement) to Annex XVI to the qualified or registered suppliers.

2. A procuring entity shall recognise as qualified suppliers any domestic suppliers and any suppliers of the other Party that meet the conditions for participation in a particular procurement, unless the procuring entity states in the notice of intended procurement any limitation on the number of suppliers that will be permitted to tender and the criteria for selecting the limited number of suppliers.

3. Where the tender documentation is not made publicly available from the date of publication of the notice referred to in paragraph 1, a procuring entity shall ensure that those documents are made available at the same time to all qualified suppliers selected in accordance with paragraph 2.

List of Suppliers

4. A procuring entity may maintain a list of suppliers, provided that a notice inviting interested suppliers to apply for inclusion in the list is published annually, and where published by electronic means, made available continuously in the appropriate medium listed in Appendix 3 (Media for Publication of Notices) to Annex XVI. Such a notice shall include the information set out in Appendix 5 (Notice Inviting Interested Suppliers to Apply for Inclusion in a List of Suppliers) to Annex XVI.

5. Notwithstanding paragraph 4, where a list of suppliers will be valid for three years or less, a procuring entity may publish the notice referred to in that paragraph only once, at the beginning of the period of validity of the list, provided that the notice states the period of validity and that further notices will not be published.

6. A procuring entity shall allow suppliers to apply at any time for inclusion on a list of suppliers and shall include on the list within a reasonable short time all suppliers that have complied with the corresponding requirements.

7. A procuring entity may, if so foreseen by the Party's legislation, use a notice inviting suppliers to apply for inclusion in a list of suppliers as a notice of intended procurement, provided that:

(a) the notice is published in accordance with paragraph 4 and includes the information required by Appendix 5 (Notice Inviting Interested Suppliers to Apply for Inclusion in a List of Suppliers) and as much of the information required by Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement) to Annex XVI as is available, and contains a statement that it constitutes a notice of intended procurement;

(b) the procuring entity promptly provides to suppliers that have expressed an interest to the entity in a given procurement, sufficient information to permit them to assess their interest in the procurement, including all remaining information required by Appendix 4 (Notice of Intended Procurement) to Annex XVI, to the extent that such information is available; and

(c) a supplier having applied for inclusion on a list of suppliers in accordance with paragraph 6, may be allowed to tender in a given procurement, where there is sufficient time for the procuring entity to examine whether it satisfies the conditions for participation.

8. A procuring entity shall promptly inform any supplier that submits a request for participation or application for inclusion on a list of suppliers of the procuring entity's decision with respect to the request.

9. Where a procuring entity rejects a supplier's request to qualify or application for inclusion on a list of suppliers, ceases to recognise a supplier as qualified, or removes a supplier from a list of suppliers, the entity shall promptly inform the supplier and, on request of the supplier, promptly provide the supplier with a written explanation of the reasons for its decision.

10. The Parties shall indicate in Section F (General Notes) to Appendix 1 (Coverage) to Annex XVI, which entities may use lists of suppliers.

Article 216

Technical Specifications

1. A procuring entity shall not prepare, adopt or apply any technical specification or prescribe any conformity assessment procedure with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade.

2. In prescribing the technical specifications for the goods or services being procured, a procuring entity shall, where appropriate:

(a) set out the technical specifications in terms of performance and functional requirements, rather than design or descriptive characteristics; and

(b) base the technical specifications on international standards, where these exist; otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognized national standards or building codes.

3. Where design or descriptive characteristics are used in the technical specifications, a procuring entity shall indicate, where appropriate, that it will consider tenders of equivalent goods or services that demonstrably fulfil the requirements of the procurement by including such words as "or equivalent" in the tender documentation.

4. A procuring entity shall not prescribe technical specifications that require or refer to a particular trademark or trade name, patent, copyright, design, type, specific origin, producer or supplier, unless there is no other sufficiently precise or intelligible way of describing the procurement requirements and provided that, in such cases, the entity includes words such as "or equivalent" in the tender documentation.

5. A procuring entity shall not seek or accept, in a manner that would have the effect of precluding competition, advice that may be used in the preparation or adoption of any technical specification for a specific procurement, from a person that may have a commercial interest in the procurement.

6. For greater certainty, this Article is not intended to preclude a procuring entity from preparing, adopting, or applying technical specifications to promote the conservation of natural resources or protect the environment.

Article 217

Tender Documentation

1. A procuring entity shall provide to suppliers, tender documentation that includes all information necessary to permit suppliers to prepare and submit responsive tenders. Unless already provided in the notice of intended procurement, such documentation shall include a complete description of the issues set out in Appendix 8 (Tender Documentation) to Annex XVI.

2. A procuring entity shall promptly provide, upon request, the tender documentation to any supplier participating in the procurement; and reply to any reasonable request for relevant information made by a supplier participating in the procurement, provided that such information does not give that supplier an advantage over its competitors in the procurement and that the request was presented within the corresponding time limits.

3. Where, in the course of a procurement, a procuring entity modifies or amends the criteria or requirements set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation provided to participating suppliers, it shall transmit in writing all such modifications:

(a) to all suppliers that are participating at the time the information is amended, if known, and in all other cases, in the same manner as the original information; and

(b) in adequate time to allow such suppliers to modify and re-submit amended tenders, as appropriate.

Article 218

Time Periods

A procuring entity shall, consistent with its own needs, provide sufficient time for suppliers to prepare and submit requests for participation and responsive tenders, taking into account such factors as the nature and complexity of the procurement, the extent of subcontracting anticipated, and the time for transmitting tenders from foreign as well as domestic points where electronic means are not used. Such time-periods, including any extension of the time periods, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers. The applicable time periods are set out in Appendix 6 (Time Periods) to Annex XVI.

Article 219

Negotiations

1. Each Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct procurements through the negotiations procedure, in the following cases:

(a) in the context of procurements in which they have indicated such intent in the notice of intended procurement; or

(b) where it appears from the evaluation that no one tender is obviously the most advantageous in terms of the specific evaluation criteria set forth in the notices or tender documentation.

2. A procuring entity shall:

(a) ensure that any elimination of suppliers participating in negotiations is carried out in accordance with the evaluation criteria set out in the notices or tender documentation; and

(b) where negotiations are concluded, provide a common deadline for the remaining suppliers to submit any new or revised tenders.

Article 220

The Use of Limited Tendering or other equivalent Tendering Procedures

1. Provided that the tendering procedure is not used to avoid competition or to protect domestic suppliers, a procuring entity may award contracts by limited tendering or other equivalent tendering procedures in the following circumstances:

(a) where,

(i) no tenders were submitted, or no suppliers requested participation;

(ii) no tenders that conform to the essential requirements of the tender documentation were submitted;

(iii) no suppliers satisfied the conditions for participation; or

(iv) the tenders submitted have been collusive;

provided that the requirements of the tender documentation are notsubstantially modified;

(b) where, for works of art, or for reasons connected with the protection of exclusive intellectual property rights, such as patents or copyrights, or proprietary information, or where there is an absence of competition for technical reasons, the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists;

(c) for additional deliveries by the original supplier of goods and services that were not included in the initial procurement where a change of supplier for such additional goods or services:

(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of inter-changeability or inter-operability with existing equipment, software, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and

(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the procuring entity;

(d) for goods purchased on a commodity market;

(e) where a procuring entity procures a prototype or a first good or service that is developed at its request in the course of, and for, a particular contract for research, experiment, study, or original development. When such contracts have been fulfilled, subsequent procurements of goods or services shall be subject to this Title;

(f) where additional construction services that were not included in the initial contract but fell under the objectives of the original tender documentation, have, due to unforeseeable circumstances, become necessary to complete the construction services described therein. However, the total value of contracts awarded for additional construction services may not exceed fifty per cent of the amount of the initial contract;

(g) in so far as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the procuring entity, the goods or services could not be obtained in time by means of an open tendering procedure and the use of an open tendering procedure would result in serious injury to the procuring entity, the entity's program responsibilities, or the Party;

(h) where a contract is awarded to a winner of a design contest provided that the contest has been organised in a manner that is consistent with the principles of this Title, and the participants are judged by an independent jury with a view to a design contract being awarded to a winner; or

(i) in the cases established by each Party in Section F (General Notes) of Appendix 1 (Coverage) to Annex XVI.

2. A procuring entity shall maintain records or prepare written reports providing specific justification for any contract awarded under paragraph 1.

Article 221

Electronic Auctions

Where a procuring entity intends to conduct a covered procurement using an electronic auction, the entity shall provide each participant, before commencing the electronic auction, with:

(a) the automatic evaluation method, including the mathematical formula, that is based on the evaluation criteria set out in the tender documentation and that will be used in the automatic ranking or re-ranking during the auction;

(b) the results of any initial evaluation of the elements of its tender where the contract is to be awarded on the basis of the most advantageous tender; and

Article 222

Treatment of Tenders and Award of Contracts

1. A procuring entity shall receive, open and treat all tenders under procedures that guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the procurement process, and the confidentiality of tenders.

2. To be considered for an award, a tender shall be in writing and shall, at the time of opening, comply with the essential requirements set out in the tender documentation and, where applicable, in the notices, and be from a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation.

3. Unless a procuring entity determines that it is not in the public interest to award a contract, the entity shall award the contract to the supplier that the entity has determined to be capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract and that, based solely on the evaluation criteria specified in the notices and tender documentation, has submitted the most advantageous tender or where price is the sole criterion, the lowest price.

4. Where a procuring entity receives a tender with a price that is abnormally lower than the prices in other tenders submitted, it may verify with the supplier that it satisfies the conditions for participation and is capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract.

Article 223

Transparency of Procurement Information

1. A procuring entity shall promptly inform participating suppliers of the entity's contract award decisions and, upon request, shall do so in writing. Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 224, a procuring entity shall, upon request, provide an unsuccessful supplier with an explanation of the reasons why the entity did not select its tender and the relative advantages of the successful supplier's tender.

2. After the award of each contract covered by this Title, a procuring entity shall, as early as possible, according to the time limits established in each Party's legislation, publish a notice in the appropriate paper or electronic media listed in Appendix 3 (Media for Publication of Notices) to Annex XVI. Where only an electronic medium is used, the information shall remain readily available for a reasonable period of time. The notice shall include at least the information set out in Appendix 7 (Award Notices) to Annex XVI.

Article 224

Disclosure of Information

1. Upon request of the other Party, each Party shall promptly provide all relevant information about the adjudication of a covered procurement, in order to determine if the procurement was made in accordance with the rules of this Title. In cases where release of this information would prejudice competition in future tenders, the Party that receives that information shall not disclose it to any supplier, except after consultation with, and agreement of, the Party that provided the information.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Title, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any supplier information that might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.

3. Nothing in this Title shall be construed to require a Party, including its procuring entities, authorities and review bodies, to disclose confidential information where disclosure would impede law enforcement; might prejudice fair competition between suppliers; would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular persons, including the protection of intellectual property; or would otherwise be contrary to the public interest.

Article 225

Domestic Review Procedures

1. Each Party shall establish or maintain timely, effective, transparent and non-discriminatory administrative or judicial review procedures through which a supplier may present a challenge with respect to the obligations of a Party and its entities under this Title that may arise in the context of a covered procurement, in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest. The procedural rules for all challenges shall be in writing and made generally available.

2. Each Party may foresee in its domestic legislation, that in the event of a complaint by a supplier arising in the context of a covered procurement, it shall encourage its procuring entity and the supplier to seek resolution of the complaint through consultation. The procuring entity shall accord impartial and timely consideration to any such complaint in a manner that is not prejudicial to the supplier's participation in ongoing or future procurement or his right to seek corrective measures under the administrative or judicial review procedure.

3. Each supplier shall be allowed a sufficient period of time to prepare and submit a challenge, which in no case shall be less than ten days from the time when the basis of the challenge became known or reasonably should have become known to the supplier.

4. Each Party shall establish or designate at least one impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of its procuring entities to receive and review a challenge by a supplier arising in the context of a covered procurement.

5. Where a body other than an authority referred to in paragraph 4 initially reviews a challenge, the Party shall ensure that the supplier may appeal the initial decision to an impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of the procuring entity whose procurement is the subject of the challenge. A review body that is not a court shall either be subject to judicial review or have procedural guarantees that provide for:

(a) the procuring entity shall respond in writing to the challenge and disclose all relevant documents to the review body;

(b) the participants to the proceedings (hereinafter referred to as "the participants") shall have the right to be heard prior to a decision of the review body being made on the challenge;

(d) the participants shall have access to all proceedings; and

(e) decisions or recommendations relating to challenges by suppliers shall be provided, within a reasonable time, in writing, with an explanation of the basis for each decision or recommendation.

6. Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for:

(a) prompt interim measures to preserve the supplier's opportunity to participate in the procurement. Such interim measures may result in suspension of the procurement process. The procedures may provide that overriding adverse consequences for the interests concerned, including the public interest, may be taken into account when deciding whether such measures should be applied. Just cause for not acting shall be provided in writing; and

(b) corrective action or compensation for the loss or damages suffered, in accordance with each Party's legislation, in cases where a review body has determined that there has been a breach or a failure as set out in paragraph 1.

Article 226

Modifications and Rectifications of Coverage

1. The EU Party shall address modifications and rectifications of coverage through bilateral negotiations with each Republic of the CA Party concerned. Inversely, each Republic of the CA Party shall address modifications and rectifications of coverage through bilateral negotiations with the EU Party.

Where a Party has the intention of modifying its coverage of procurement under this Title, the Party shall:

(a) notify the other Party or Parties concerned in writing; and

(b) include in the notification a proposal of appropriate compensatory adjustments to the other Party to maintain a level of coverage comparable to that existing prior to the modification.

2. Notwithstanding subparagraph 1(b), a Party does not need to provide compensatory adjustments where:

(a) the modification in question is a minor amendment or rectification of a purely formal nature; or

(b) the proposed modification refers to an entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence.

The Parties may make minor amendments or rectifications of a purely formal nature to their coverage under this Title, in accordance with the provisions of Title XIII (Specific Tasks in Trade Matters of the Bodies established under this Agreement) of Part IV of this Agreement.

3. If the EU Party or the Republic of the CA Party concerned does not agree that:

(a) the adjustment proposed under subparagraph 1(b) is adequate to maintain a comparable level of mutually agreed coverage;

(b) the proposed modification is a minor amendment or a rectification under subparagraph 2(a); or

(c) the proposed modification refers to an entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence under subparagraph 2(b),

it must object in writing within thirty days of receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 1 or be deemed to have agreed to the adjustment or proposed modification including for the purposes of Title X (Dispute Settlement) of Part IV of this Agreement.

4. Where the Parties concerned have agreed on the proposed modification, rectification, or minor amendment, including where no objection has been made within thirty days under paragraph 3, the modifications shall be made in conformity with the provisions of paragraph 6.

5. The EU Party and each Republic of the CA Party may at any time engage in bilateral negotiations concerning the broadening of the market access mutually granted under this Title, in conformity with the relevant institutional and procedural arrangements foreseen in this Agreement.

6. The Association Council shall modify the relevant parts of Sections A, B or C of Appendix 1 (Coverage) to Annex XVI in order to reflect any modification agreed by the Parties, technical rectification, or minor amendment.

4. The Parties recognise the importance of creating mechanisms that strengthen and promote investment in the Republics of the CA Party, especially in innovative and high-tech sectors. The EU Party shall make its best efforts to offer to the institutions and enterprises in its territories incentives destined to promote and to favour the transfer of technology to institutions and enterprises of the Republics of the CA Party, in such a way as to allow them to establish a viable technological platform.

5. The actions described to attain the objectives set forth in this Article are set out in Article 55 of Title VI (Economic and Trade Development) of Part III of this Agreement.

The Parties recognise the importance of the performance of the collecting societies, and the establishment of arrangements between them, with the purpose of mutually ensuring easier access and delivery of content between the territories of the Parties, and the achievement of a high level of development with regard to the execution of their tasks.

Article 237

Broadcasting and Communication to the Public [34]

1. For the purpose of this provision, communication to the public of a performance or a phonogram means the transmission to the public by any medium, otherwise than by broadcasting, of sounds of a performance or the sounds or the representations of sounds fixed in a phonogram. For purposes of this Article, "communication to the public" includes making the sounds or representations of sounds fixed in a phonogram audible to the public.

3. Performers and producers of phonograms shall enjoy the right to a single equitable remuneration for the direct or indirect use of phonograms published for commercial purposes, for broadcasting or for any communication to the public.

The EU Party and the Republics of the CA Party shall also introduce the possibility to oppose trademark applications. Such opposition proceedings shall be contradictory.

Article 240

Well-Known Trademarks

Article 6bis of the Paris Convention shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to goods or services that are not identical or similar to those identified by a well-known trademark, provided that the use of that trademark in relation to those goods or services would indicate a connection between those goods or services and the owner of the trademark, and provided that the interests of the owner of the trademark are likely to be damaged by such use. For greater certainty, the Parties may also apply this protection to unregistered well known trademarks.

Article 241

Exceptions to the Rights Conferred by a Trademark

Article 245

Established Geographical Indications

1. By the entry into force of this Agreement, in accordance with Article 353, paragraph 5 of Part V, the Parties shall: [35]

(a) have finalised the opposition and examination procedures, at least with respect to those geographical indication applications listed in Annex XVII (List of Names to be Applied for Protection as Geographical Indications in the Territory of the Parties) that were not opposed or for which any opposition was rejected due to formal reasons in the course of national registration proceedings;

Article 246

Protection Granted

1. Geographical indications listed in Annex XVIII (Protected Geographical Indications), as well as those added pursuant to Article 247, shall as a minimum be protected against:

(a) the use of any means in the designation or presentation of a good that indicates or suggests that the good in question originates in a geographical area other than the true place of origin in a manner which misleads the public as to the geographical origin of the good;

(b) the use of a protected geographical indication for the same products that are not originating from the designated place of the geographical indication in question even if the true origin of the product is indicated or if the protected name is translated or accompanied by an expression such as "style", "type", "imitation", "like" or similar;

(c) any other practice that misleads the consumer as to the true origin of the product or any other use that constitutes an act of unfair competition in the manner set forth in Article 10bis of the Paris Convention.

2. A geographical indication which has been granted protection in one of the Parties, pursuant to the procedure under Article 245 cannot, in that Party, be deemed to have become generic, as long as it is protected as a geographical indication in the Party of origin.

3. Where a geographical indication contains within it a name which is considered generic in a Party, the use of that generic name on the appropriate good in that Party shall not be considered to be contrary to this Article.

4. For geographical indications other than wines and spirit drinks, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require a Party to prevent continued and similar use of a particular geographical indication of the other Party in connection with goods or services by any of its nationals or domiciliaries who have used that geographical indication in good faith and in a continuous manner with regard to the same or related goods or services, in the territory of that Party before the date of entry into force of this Agreement.

Article 247

Addition of New Geographical Indications

1. The Parties agree on the possibility of adding additional geographical indications for wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs to be protected on the basis of the rules and procedures established in this Title, as applicable.

Such geographical indications, following their successful examination by the competent national or regional authorities, shall be included in Annex XVIII (Protected Geographical Indications) in accordance with the relevant rules and procedures for the Association Council.

2. The date of application for protection shall be the date of the transmission of a request to the other Party to protect a geographical indication provided that the formal requirements for such applications are fulfilled.

Article 248

Relationship between Geographical Indications and Trademarks

1. The legislation of the Parties shall ensure that the application for registration of a trademark which corresponds to any of the situations listed in Article 246 for like products [36] is refused where such application for registration is submitted after the date of application for registration of the geographical indication in the territory concerned [37].

2. Similarly, the Parties may, in accordance with their domestic or regional legislation, establish the grounds for rejecting the protection of geographical indications, including the option not to grant protection to a geographical indication where, in the light of a reputed or well-known trademark, protection is liable to mislead consumers as to the true identity of the product.

3. The Parties shall maintain the legal means for any natural or legal person having a legitimate interest, to request the cancelation or invalidation of a trademark or a geographical indication giving reasons for such request.

Article 249

2. A design shall be considered to be new if it significantly differs from known designs or combinations of known design features.

3. This protection shall be provided by registration, and shall confer exclusive rights upon their holders in accordance with the provisions of this Article. Each Party may foresee that unregistered designs made available to the public confer exclusive rights, but only if the contested use results from copying the protected design.

Article 253

Exceptions

1. The Parties may provide limited exceptions to the protection of designs, provided that such exceptions do not unreasonably conflict with the normal exploitation of protected designs and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the owner of the protected design, taking into account the legitimate interests of third parties.

2. Design protection shall not extend to designs dictated essentially by technical or functional considerations.

3. A design shall not confer rights when it is contrary to public order or morality.

2. Where a Party foresees the protection of unregistered designs, the duration of such protection shall amount to at least three years.

Article 256

Invalidity or Refusal of Registration

1. A design may only be refused for registration or declared invalid for compelling and important reasons, which, subject to each Party's legislation, may comprise:

(a) if the design does not correspond to the definition under Article 252, paragraph 1;

(b) if, by virtue of a court decision, the right holder is not entitled to the design;

(c) if the design is in conflict with a prior design which has been made available to the public after the date of filing of the application or, if a priority is claimed, the date of priority of the design, and which is protected from a data prior to the said date by a registered design or an application for a design;

(d) if a distinctive sign is used in a subsequent design, and the law of the Party concerned governing that sign confers to the right holder of the sign, the right to prohibit such use;

(e) if the design constitutes an unauthorised use of a work protected under the copyright law of the Party concerned;

(f) if the design constitutes an improper use of any of the items listed in Article 6ter of the Paris Convention or of badges, emblems and escutcheons other than those covered by said Article 6ter and which are of particular public interest in a Party;

(g) if the disclosure of the industrial design is contrary to public order or morality.

2. A Party may provide, as an alternative to the invalidity, that a design subject to the grounds provided for in paragraph 1 may be limited in its use.

General Obligations

1. The Parties reaffirm their rights and commitments under the TRIPS Agreement and in particular of its Part III, and shall provide for the following complementary measures, procedures and remedies necessary to ensure the enforcement of the intellectual property rights.

Those measures, procedures and remedies shall be fair, proportionate and equitable, and shall not be unnecessarily complicated or costly, or entail unreasonable time-limits or unwarranted delays [39].

2. Those measures and remedies shall also be effective and dissuasive and shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of barriers to legitimate trade and to provide for safeguards against their abuse.

Article 261

Entitled Applicants

The Parties shall recognise as persons entitled to seek application of the measures, procedures and remedies referred to in this Section and in Part III of the TRIPS Agreement:

(a) the holders of intellectual property rights in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law; and

(b) federations and associations as well as exclusive licensees and other duly authorised licensees, insofar as permitted by and in accordance with the provision of applicable law. The term "licensee" shall include the licensee of any one or more of the exclusive intellectual property rights encompassed in a given intellectual property.

Article 262

Evidence

The Parties shall take such measures as are necessary, where a right holder has presented reasonably available evidence to support its claim that his intellectual property right has been infringed on a commercial scale and has specified evidence relevant to the substantiation of its claims which lies in the control of the opposing party, to enable the competent judicial authorities to order, where appropriate and, if so foreseen by the applicable law, following an application, that the opposing party must produce such evidence, subject to the protection of confidential information.

Article 263

Measures for preserving Evidence

The judicial authorities shall have the authority, on application by a party who has presented reasonably available evidence to support its claim that its intellectual property right has been or is about to be infringed, to order prompt and effective provisional measures to preserve relevant evidence in regard to the alleged infringement, subject to the protection of confidential information. Such measures may include the detailed description, with or without the taking of samples, or the physical seizure of the infringing goods, and, in appropriate cases, the materials and implements used in the production and/or distribution of these goods and the documents relating thereto. Those measures may be taken, if necessary, without the other party being heard, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the right holder or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed.

Article 264

Right of Information

The Parties may provide that the judicial authorities shall have the authority, unless this would be out of proportion to the seriousness of the infringement, to order the infringer to inform the right holder of the identity of third persons involved in the production and distribution of the infringing goods or services and of their channels of distribution.

Article 265

Provisional and Precautionary Measures

1. Each Party shall foresee that its judicial authorities have the authority to issue provisional and precautionary measures and execute them expeditiously to prevent imminent infringements of intellectual property rights or to forbid the continuation of alleged infringements. Such measures may be ordered at the request of the right-holder, inaudita altera parte or after hearing the defendant, in accordance with the judicial procedural rules of each Party.

2. Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to require the plaintiff to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the plaintiff's right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent, and to order the plaintiff to provide a reasonable security or equivalent assurance set at a level sufficient to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse, and so as not to unreasonably deter recourse to such procedures.

Article 266

Corrective Measures

1. Each Party shall provide that:

(a) its judicial authorities have the authority to order, at the request of the applicant and without prejudice to any damages due to the right holder by reason of the infringement, the destruction of the goods that have been found to be pirated or counterfeit, or other appropriate measures to definitively remove those goods from the channels of commerce;

(b) its judicial authorities have the authority to order in appropriate cases that materials and implements that have been principally used in the manufacture or creation of such pirated or counterfeit goods be, without compensation of any sort, destroyed or, in exceptional circumstances, disposed of outside the channels of commerce, in such a manner as to minimize the risks of further infringements. In considering requests for such corrective measures, the Party's judicial authorities may take into account, inter alia, the gravity of the infringement, as well as the interests of third parties holding ownership, possessory, contractual, or secured interests.

2. Each Party may provide that the charitable donation of counterfeit trademark goods and goods that infringe copyright and related rights, if domestic legislation so permits, shall not be ordered by the judicial authorities without the authorisation of the right holder or that such goods may be donated to charity only under certain conditions that may be established according to domestic legislation. In no case shall the simple removal of the trademark unlawfully affixed be sufficient to permit the release of goods into the channels of commerce, except in cases established in domestic legislation and other international obligations.

3. In considering requests for corrective measures, the Parties may grant their judicial authorities the faculty to take into account, inter alia, the gravity of the infringement, as well as the interests of third parties holding ownership, possessory, contractual, or secured interests.

4. The judicial authorities shall order that those measures be carried out at the expense of the infringer, except in exceptional circumstances.

5. According to domestic legislation, the Parties may provide for other corrective measures in relation to goods that have been found to be pirated or counterfeit, and with regard to materials and implements principally used in the creation or manufacture of those goods.

Article 267

Damages

The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the infringer to pay the right holder damages adequate to compensate for the injury the right holder has suffered because of an infringement of that person's intellectual property right by an infringer who knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in infringing activity. In appropriate cases, the Parties may authorise the judicial authorities to order recovery of profits and/or payment of pre-established damages, even where the infringer did not knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engage in infringing activity.

Article 268

Legal Costs

The Parties shall ensure that reasonable and proportionate legal costs and other expenses incurred by the successful party shall, as a general rule, be borne by the unsuccessful party unless equity does not allow this, in accordance with domestic legislation.

Article 269

Publication of Judicial Decisions

The Parties may provide that, in legal proceedings instituted for infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities may order, at the request of the applicant and at the expense of the infringer, appropriate measures for the dissemination of the information concerning the decision, including displaying the decision and publishing it in full or in part. The Parties may provide for other additional publicity measures which are appropriate to the particular circumstances, including prominent advertising.

Article 270

Presumption of Ownership

For the purposes of applying the measures, procedures and remedies provided for under this Title, it shall be sufficient for the right holders of copyrights or related rights with regard to their protected subject matter, in the absence of proof to the contrary, for their name to appear on the work in the usual manner to be regarded as such and consequently to be entitled to institute infringement proceedings.

Article 271

Criminal Sanctions

The Parties shall provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied at least in cases of wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a commercial scale. Remedies available shall include imprisonment and/or monetary fines sufficient to provide a deterrent, consistently with the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity. In appropriate cases, remedies available shall also include the seizure, forfeiture and destruction of the infringing goods and of any materials and implements the predominant use of which has been in the commission of the offence. The Parties may provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied in other cases of infringement of intellectual property rights, in particular where they are committed wilfully and on a commercial scale.

Article 272

Limitations on Liability for Service Providers

The Parties agree that they will maintain the type of limitations of responsibility of service providers they currently foresee in their respective legislation, namely:

(a) for the EU Party: those foreseen in Directive 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce;

(b) for the Republics of the CA Party: those adopted domestically in order to comply with their international obligations.

A Party may delay giving effect to the provisions of this Article for a period of no longer than three years, beginning on the date of entry into force of this Agreement.

Article 273

Border Measures

1. The Parties recognise the importance of coordination on customs matters, and therefore engage to promote the application of customs enforcement in relation to counterfeit trademark and pirated copyright goods, specifically through the exchange of information and coordination between the customs administrations of the Parties.

2. The Parties shall, unless otherwise provided for in this Chapter, adopt procedures to enable a right holder, who has valid grounds for suspecting that the importation, exportation, re-exportation, entry or exit of the customs territory, placement under a suspensive procedure or placement under a free zone or a free warehouse of goods infringing trademarks, or copyrights may take place, to lodge an application in writing before the competent administrative or judicial authorities, for the suspension by the customs authorities of the release into free circulation or the detention of such goods. It is understood that there shall be no obligation to apply such procedures to imports of goods put on the market in another country by or with the consent of the right holder.

3. Any rights or duties established in Section 4 of the TRIPS Agreement concerning the importer shall be also applicable to the exporter or to the holder of the goods.

4. Each Party shall provide that its competent authorities may initiate border measures ex officio in the cases of import, export and transit.

CHAPTER 4

Institutional provisions

Article 274

Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property

Article 278

Principles

1. The Parties recognise the importance of free and undistorted competition in their trade relations. The Parties acknowledge that anti-competitive practices have the potential to affect the proper functioning of markets and the benefits of trade liberalisation.

2. The Parties therefore agree that the following are incompatible with this Agreement, in so far as they may affect trade between the Parties:

(a) agreements between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings and concerted practices between undertakings, which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition [40] as specified in their respective competition laws;

(b) any abuse by one or more undertakings of a dominant position or a substantial market power or notable market participation, as specified in their respective competition laws; and

(c) concentrations between undertakings, which significantly impede effective competition, as specified in their respective competition laws.

Article 279

Implementation

1. The Parties shall adopt or maintain in force comprehensive competition laws which effectively address the anti-competitive practices referred to in Article 278, paragraph 2(a) to (c). The Parties shall establish or maintain Competition Authorities designated and appropriately equipped for the transparent and effective implementation of the competition laws.

2. If, at the moment of entry into force of this Agreement, either Party has not yet adopted competition laws as referred to in Article 277, paragraph 1(a) or (b) nor designated a competition authority as referred to in Article 277, paragraph 2(a) or (b), it shall do so within a period of seven years. When this transition period has come to an end, the terms competition laws and competition authority referred to in this Title shall only mean those defined in Article 277, paragraph 1(a) and 277, paragraph 1(b) and Article 277, paragraph 2(a) and 277, paragraph 2(b).

3. If, at the moment of entry into force of this Agreement, a Republic of the CA Party has not yet adopted a competition law as referred to in Article 277, paragraph 1(c) nor designated a competition authority as referred to in Article 277, paragraph 2(c), it shall do so within a period of three years.

4. Nothing in this Title shall prejudge the competences assigned by the Parties to their respective regional and national authorities for the effective and coherent implementation of their respective competition laws.

Article 280

Article 286

Multilateral Labour Standards and Agreements

1. Recalling the 2006 Ministerial Declaration of the UN Economic and Social Council on Full Employment and Decent Work, the Parties recognise that full and productive employment and decent work for all, which encompass social protection, fundamental principles and rights at work and social dialogue, are key elements of sustainable development for all countries, and therefore a priority objective of international cooperation.

5. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent the adoption or enforcement by any Party of measures to implement the agreements referred to in this Article, provided that such measures are not applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries where the same conditions prevail, or a disguised restriction on international trade.

Article 288

Consultations shall commence promptly after a Party delivers a request for consultations.

2. The consulting Parties shall make every attempt to arrive at a mutually satisfactory solution of the matter, taking into account the information exchanged by the consulting Parties and opportunities for cooperation on the matter.

TITLE IX

REGIONAL ECONOMIC INTEGRATION

Article 303

General Provisions

1. The Parties underline the importance of the region to region dimension and recognise the significance of regional economic integration in the context of this Agreement. They, accordingly, reaffirm their will to strengthen and deepen their respective regional economic integration processes, within the applicable frameworks.

2. The Parties recognise that regional economic integration in the areas of customs procedures, technical regulations and sanitary and phytosanitary measures are essential for the free circulation of goods within Central America and the EU Party.

3. Accordingly, and taking into account the different level of development of their respective regional economic integration processes, the Parties agree on the following provisions.

Article 304

Customs Procedures

1. In the area of customs, no later than two years as from the entry into force of this Agreement, the custom authority of the Republic of the CA Party of first entry shall grant a reimbursement of the duty paid when such goods are exported into another Republic of the CA Party. Such goods shall be subject to the customs duty in the Republic of the CA Party of import.

2. The Parties shall endeavour to put into place a mechanism that will ensure that goods originating in Central America or in the European Union in accordance with Annex II (Concerning the Definition of the Concept of "Originating Products" and Methods of Administrative Cooperation) to this Agreement, entering their respective territory and having been cleared at customs of import, may no longer be subject to customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect or to quantitative restrictions or measures having an equivalent effect.

3. The Parties agree that their respective customs legislation and procedures shall provide for the use of a single administrative document or electronic equivalent in the EU Party and in the CA Party, respectively, for the purposes of establishing customs declarations at import and export. The CA Party commits to achieving this objective three years after the entry into force of this Agreement.

4. The Parties shall also ensure that customs legislation, procedures and customs related requirements at import applicable to goods originating in Central America or in the European Union are harmonised at regional level. The CA Party commits to achieving this objective at the latest five years after the entry into force of this Agreement.

Article 305

Technical Barriers to Trade

1. In the area of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures:

(a) the Parties agree that the Member States of the European Union will ensure that products originating in Central America which have been legally placed on the market of one Member State of the European Union, can also be marketed in the other Member States of the European Union, provided that the product provides an equivalent level of protection of the various legitimate interests involved (principle of mutual recognition);

(b) in this respect, the Member States of the European Union will accept, provided that the product provides an equivalent level of protection of the various legitimate interests involved, that a product which has fulfilled the conformity assessment procedures required by one of the Member States of the European Union, can be placed on the market of the other Member States of the European Union, without having to undergo an additional conformity assessment procedure.

2. When harmonised regional import requirements exist, products originating in the European Union should comply with the regional requirements in order to be legally marketed in the Republic of the CA Party of first import. In accordance with this Agreement, where a product is covered by harmonised legislation and a registration has to be carried out, the registration made in one of the Republics of the CA Party should be accepted by all the other Republics of the CA Party, once the internal procedures have been fulfilled.

3. Furthermore, where registration is required, the Republics of the CA Party will accept that products should be registered by group or family of products.

4. The CA Party agrees to adopt, within five years of the entry into force of this Agreement, the regional technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures that are currently in preparation and listed in Annex XX (List of Central American Technical Regulations (RTCA) in the Process of Harmonisation) to this Agreement, and to continue work towards the harmonisation of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, and to promote the development of regional standards.

5. For products not yet harmonised in the CA Party and not included in Annex XX, the Association Committee will establish a work program to explore the possibility of including additional products in the future.

Article 306

Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures

1. The aim of this Article is to:

(a) promote conditions to allow goods subjected to sanitary and phytosanitary measures to freely move within Central America and the EU Party;

(b) promote the harmonisation and improvement of sanitary and phytosanitary requirements and procedures in the CA Party and the EU Party, including to achieve the use of a single import certificate, a single list of establishments, a single sanitary import check and a single fee for products imported from the EU Party into the CA Party;

(c) endeavour to ensure the mutual recognition of the verifications carried out by the Republics of the CA Party in any Member State of the European Union.

2. The EU Party shall ensure that from the date of entry into force of this Agreement, animals, animal products, plants and plant products, lawfully put on the market, can freely move within the territory of the EU Party without checks at the internal borders, provided that they comply with the relevant sanitary and phytosanitary requirements.

3. The CA Party shall ensure that from the date of entry into force of this Agreement, animals, animal products, plants and plant products shall benefit from regional transit facilitation in the territories of the CA Party in accordance with Resolution No. 219-2007 (COMIECO-XLVII) and subsequent related instruments. For the purposes of this Title, in case of imports from the EU Party, regional transit facilitation means that EU Party's goods may enter through any CA Party's border inspection post and may transit through the region, from one Republic of the CA Party to another, complying with the sanitary and phytosanitary requirements of the Party of final destination, where a sanitary or phytosanitary inspection may be conducted.

4. Provided that they comply with the relevant sanitary and phytosanitary requirements and in accordance with the existing mechanisms in the Central American regional integration process, the CA Party undertakes to grant animals, animal products, plants and plant products listed in Annex XIX (List of Products referred to in Paragraph 4 of Article 306), the following treatment: when imported into the territory of a Republic of the CA Party, the Competent Authorities will check the certificate issued by the Competent Authority of the EU Party, and may perform a sanitary or phytosanitary inspection; once clearance is provided, a product included in Annex XIX may only be subject to a random sanitary or phytosanitary inspection at the point of entry of the Republic of the CA Party of final destination.

For products included in List 1 of Annex XIX, the above obligation will apply no later than two years after the entry into force of this Agreement.

For products included in List 2 of Annex XIX, the above obligation will apply no later than five years after the entry into force of this Agreement.

5. Without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties (the EU Party or the Republics of the CA Party) under the WTO Agreement and the sanitary and phytosanitary procedures and requirements established by each Party, an importing Party should not be required to grant a more favourable treatment to products imported from the exporting Party than the treatment given by the exporting Party in its intra-regional trade.

6. The Association Council may modify Annex XIX (List of Products referred to in Paragraph 4 of Article 306) following recommendations by the Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Matters to the Association Committee, in line with the procedure established in Title XIII (Specific Tasks in Trade Matters of the Bodies Established under this Agreement) of Part IV of this Agreement.

7. The Sub-Committee mentioned in paragraph 6 shall closely monitor the implementation of this Article.

Article 307

3. The progress of the CA Party in the implementation of this Title shall be subject to regular progress reports and working programs by the CA Party covering Articles 304, 305 and 306. The progress reports and working programs shall be presented in writing and shall set out all steps taken towards implementation of obligations and objectives defined in paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of Article 304, paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of Article 305 and paragraphs 3 and 4 of Article 306, as well as the steps envisaged for the period prior to the next progress report. Progress reports and working programs shall be submitted every year until the commitments specified in this paragraph are effectively complied with.

4. The Parties will consider the inclusion of further areas to this Title five years after the entry into force of this Agreement.

3. Any Party entitled under paragraph 1 to request the establishment of a Panel, may join the Panel proceedings as a complaining Party upon submission of a written notice to the other disputing Parties.

2. Within ten days of the date of the submission of the request for the establishment of a Panel, the disputing Parties shall consult in order to reach an agreement on the composition of the Panel [49].

3. In the event that the disputing Parties are unable to agree on the composition of the Panel within the time period laid down in paragraph 2, each disputing Party will have the right to select one panelist, who will not act as Chair, among the individuals of the list established in Article 325, within three days following the expiration of the time period established in paragraph 2. The Chair of the Association Committee, or the Chair's delegate, will select the Chair-person and any remaining panelist by lot from the relevant individuals of the list established under Article 325.

4. The Chair of the Association Committee, or the Chair's delegate, shall carry out the lot within five days of receipt of a request to do so from one or both disputing Parties.

2. Where the Panel considers that the deadline referred to in paragraph 1 cannot be met, the Chair-person of the Panel must promptly notify the disputing Parties in writing, with copy to the Association Committee, stating the reasons for the delay and the date on which the Panel expects to conclude its work.

SECTION B

Compliance

Article 314

Compliance with the Panel Ruling

1. Where relevant, the Party complained against shall, without undue delay, take any measure necessary to comply in good faith with the Panel ruling on the subject matter, and the disputing Parties will endeavour to agree on the period of time for compliance.

2. For purposes of compliance, the disputing Parties and, in any event the Panel, shall take into consideration the possible effects of the measure determined to be inconsistent with this Agreement on the level of development of the Party complained against.

3. In the event that full and timely compliance with the Panel's ruling does not occur, compensation or suspension of obligations may be applied as temporary measures. In this event, the disputing Parties shall endeavour to agree on compensation rather than apply suspension of obligations. However, neither compensation nor suspension of obligations is preferred to full and timely implementation of the Panel's ruling.

4. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party as the complaining Party or the Party complained against, any compensation or suspension of obligations pursuant to this Title shall apply individually for each Republic of the CA Party, to which effect the Panel ruling shall individually determine the level of nullification or impairment caused by the violation for each Republic of the CA Party.

Article 315

The Reasonable Period of Time for Compliance

1. The Party complained against shall promptly notify the complaining Party of the reasonable period of time needed for compliance, as well as the specific measures it intends to adopt, where possible.

2. The disputing Parties shall endeavour to agree on the reasonable period of time necessary to comply with the Panel ruling within thirty days after notification to the disputing Parties of said ruling. Where agreement is reached, the disputing Parties shall notify the Association Committee of the agreed reasonable period of time and, where possible, the specific measures that the Party complained against intends to adopt.

3. Failing agreement between the disputing Parties on the reasonable period of time to comply with the Panel ruling within the time period established in paragraph 2, the complaining Party may request the original Panel to determine the reasonable period of time. Such request shall be made in writing and notified to the other disputing Party with copy to the Association Committee. The Panel shall notify its ruling to the disputing Parties with copy to the Association Committee within twenty days from the date of the submission of the request. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party, the Panel shall determine the reasonable period of time for each Republic of the CA Party.

4. In the event of the original Panel, or some of its members, being unable to reconvene, the relevant procedures set out in Article 312 shall apply. The time limit for notifying the ruling shall be thirty five days from the date of the submission of the request referred to in paragraph 3.

5. The Party complained against shall report to the Association Committee on measures taken and measures to be taken in order to comply with the Panel ruling. This report shall be in writing and shall be made no later than half way through the reasonable period of time.

6. The reasonable period of time may be extended by mutual agreement of the disputing Parties. All time periods contained in this Article constitute part of the reasonable period of time.

Article 316

Review of any Measure taken to Comply with the Panel Ruling

1. The Party complained against shall notify the complaining Party, with copy to the Association Committee, prior to the expiry of the reasonable period of time of any measure that it has taken to comply with the Panel ruling and provide the details such as the effective date, the relevant text of the measure and a factual and juridical explanation of how the measure taken to comply brings the Party complained against into compliance.

2. In the event of disagreement between the disputing Parties concerning the existence or compatibility of any measure notified under paragraph 1 with the provisions referred to in Article 309, the complaining Party may request in writing the original Panel to rule on the matter. Such request shall identify the specific measure at issue and it shall explain how such measure is inconsistent with the provisions referred to in Article 309. The Panel shall notify its ruling within forty five days of the date of the submission of the request. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party, the Panel shall, where necessary under the circumstances, issue its ruling pursuant to this Article for each Republic of the CA Party.

3. In the event of the original Panel, or some of its members, being unable to reconvene, the relevant procedures set out in Article 312 shall apply. The time limit for notifying the ruling shall be sixty days from the date of the submission of the request referred to in paragraph 2.

Article 317

Temporary Remedies in case of Non-Compliance

1. If any Party complained against fails to notify any measure taken to comply with the Panel ruling prior to the expiry of the reasonable period of time, as established in Article 316, paragraph 1, or if the Panel rules that the measure notified under said Article 316, paragraph 1 is inconsistent with that Party's obligations under the provisions referred to in Article 309, the Party complained against shall, if so requested by the complaining Party, present an offer for compensation. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party, each of the Republics of the CA Party shall present or be presented with, as the case may be, an offer for compensation, taking account of the level of nullification or impairment determined pursuant to Article 314, paragraph 4, as well as any measure notified under Article 316, paragraph 1. The EU Party will endeavour to exercise due restraint when requesting compensation pursuant to this paragraph.

2. If no agreement on compensation is reached within thirty days of the end of the reasonable period of time or of the notification of the Panel ruling under Article 316 that a measure taken to comply is inconsistent with the provisions referred to in Article 309, any complaining Party shall be entitled, upon notification to the Party complained against with copy to the Association Committee, to suspend obligations arising from any provision referred to in Article 309 at a level equivalent to the nullification or impairment caused by the violation. The notification shall indicate the obligations that the complaining Party intends to suspend. The complaining Party may implement the suspension ten days after the date of the notification, unless the Party complained against has requested a ruling by a Panel under paragraph 3. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party, suspension of obligations shall be applied individually to each non compliant Republic of the CA Party or by each Republic of the CA Party as the case may be, taking account of the individual level of nullification or impairment determined pursuant to Article 314, paragraph 4, as well as any measure notified under Article 316, paragraph 1.

3. If any Party complained against considers that the level of suspension is not equivalent to the nullification or impairment caused by the violation, it may request in writing the original Panel to rule on the matter. Such request shall be notified to the complaining Party with copy to the Association Committee prior to the expiry of the ten day period referred to in paragraph 2. The Panel shall notify its ruling on the level of the suspension of obligations to the disputing Parties with copy to the Association Committee within thirty days of the date of the submission of the request. Obligations shall not be suspended until the Panel has notified its ruling, and any suspension shall be consistent with the Panel ruling.

4. In the event of the original Panel, or some of its members, being unable to reconvene, the relevant procedures laid down in Article 312 shall apply. The time period for notifying the ruling shall be forty five days from the date of the submission of the request referred to in paragraph 3.

5. When suspending benefits pursuant to paragraph 1, the EU Party will endeavour to exercise appropriate moderation, taking into consideration, among other factors, the likely impact on the economy and level of development of the Party complained against, and opt for measures conducive to bringing the Party complained against into compliance, and least likely to adversely affect the attainment of the objectives of this Agreement.

6. The suspension of obligations shall be temporary and shall be applied only until any specific measure or measures found to be inconsistent with the provisions referred to in Article 309, has or have been brought into full conformity with those provisions, as established under Article 318, or until any of the disputing Parties have agreed to settle the dispute.

Article 318

Review of any Measure taken to Comply After the Suspension of Obligations

1. The Party complained against shall notify the complaining Party, with copy to the Association Committee, of any measure it has taken to comply with the ruling of the Panel and of its request for a termination of the suspension of obligations applied by the complaining Party.

2. If the disputing Parties fail to reach an agreement on the compatibility of the notified measure with the provisions referred to in Article 309, within thirty days of the date of the submission of the notification referred to in paragraph 1, the complaining Party shall request in writing the original Panel to rule on the matter. Such request shall be notified to the Party complained against with copy to the Association Committee. Where a Panel ruling applies to more than one Republic of the CA Party, the Panel shall issue a ruling pursuant to this Article for each Republic of the CA Party. The Panel ruling shall be notified to the disputing Parties with copy to the Association Committee within forty five days of the date of the submission of the request. If the Panel rules that any measure taken to comply is in conformity with the provisions referred to in Article 309, the suspension of obligations shall be terminated.

3. In the event of the original Panel, or some of its members, being unable to reconvene, the relevant procedures laid down in Article 312 shall apply. The time period for notifying the ruling shall be sixty days from the date of the submission of the request referred to in paragraph 2.

2. If a disputing Party seeks redress of a violation of an obligation under Part IV of this Agreement, it shall have recourse to the relevant rules and procedures of this Title.

9. Nothing in this Title shall preclude a disputing Party from implementing the suspension of obligations authorised by the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO. The WTO Agreement shall not be invoked to preclude a disputing Party from suspending obligations under this Title.

Article 327

Time Periods

In this case, the time periods shall be extended during the time that the procedure has been suspended. If the Panel procedure has been suspended for more than twelve months, the terms of reference of the Panel shall elapse, without prejudice of the complaining Party's right to request consultations and subsequently request the establishment of a Panel on the same matter at a later stage.

[1] The term "existing" implies that the paragraph applies exclusively to any existing provision of the WTO Agreement and not to any amendments or provisions agreed later than the finalization of this Agreement.

[2] For the purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, the terms "good" and "product" shall be considered equivalent.

[3] For goods which do not benefit from preferential treatment, "customs duty" shall be understood as the "base rate" indicated in each of the Party's schedules.

[4] The Parties recognise that Article 158 of Chapter 6 (Exceptions Related to Goods) of Title II also applies to this Article.

[5] The Parties recognise that Article 158 of Chapter 6 (Exceptions Related to Goods) of Title II also applies to this Article.

[6] In Parties where their legislation requires entry into force at the same time as publication, the Government shall ensure that operators are informed of any new measures of the kind referred to in this paragraph sufficiently in advance.

[7] Where labelling for fiscal purposes is required, such a requirement shall be formulated in a manner that is not more trade restrictive than necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective.

[8] The sole fact of requiring a visa for natural persons of certain country and not for those of others shall not be regarded as nullifying or impairing benefits under a specific commitment.

[9] In line with its notification of the EC Treaty to the WTO (doc. WT/REG39/1), the EU understands that the concept of "effective and continuous link" with the economy of a Member State enshrined in Article 54 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) is equivalent to the concept of "substantive business operations" provided in Article V, paragraph 6, of the GATS.

[10] The terms "constitution" and "acquisition" of a juridical person shall be understood as including capital participation in a juridical person with a view to establishing or maintaining lasting economic links.

[11] A juridical person is controlled by another juridical person if the latter has the power to name a majority of its directors or otherwise to legally direct its actions.

[12] Investment protection, other than the treatment deriving from Article 165, including investor-state dispute settlement procedures, is not covered by this Chapter.

[13] Without prejudice to the scope of activities which may be considered as cabotage under the relevant domestic legislation, national cabotage under this Chapter covers transportation of passengers or goods between a port or point located in a Republic of the CA Party or a Member State of the European Union and another port or point located in the same Republic of the CA Party or Member State of the European Union, including on its continental shelf, and traffic originating and terminating in the same port or point located in a Republic of the CA Party or Member State of the European Union.

[14] Subparagraphs 2(a), 2(b) and 2(c) do not cover measures taken in order to limit the production of an agricultural product.

[15] Each Party may require that in the case of incorporation under its own law, investors must adopt a specific legal form. To the extent that such requirement is applied in a non-discriminatory manner, it does not need to be specified in Annex X (Lists of Commitments on Establishment) in order to be maintained or adopted by the Parties.

[16] Without prejudice to the scope of activities which may be considered as cabotage under the relevant domestic legislation, national cabotage under this Chapter covers transportation of passengers or goods between a port or point located in a Republic of the CA Party or a Member State of the European Union and another port or point located in the same Republic of the CA Party or Member State of the European Union, including on its continental shelf, and traffic originating and terminating in the same port or point located in a Republic of the CA Party or Member State of the European Union.

[17] Subparagraph 2(c) does not cover measures of a Party which limit inputs for the supply of services.

[18] The recipient establishment may be required to submit a training programme covering the duration of the stay for prior approval, demonstrating that the purpose of the stay is for training.

[19] CPC means the Central Products Classification as set out in Statistical Office of the United Nations, Statistical Papers, Series M, No 77, CPC prov, 1991.

[20] The service contract referred to under (d) and (e) shall comply with the laws, regulations and requirements of the Party where the contract is executed.

[21] CPC means the Central Product Classification as set out in the Statistical Office of the United Nations, Statistical papers, Series M, No. 77, CPC prov, 1991.

[22] The Parties understand that these services are covered by this Section to that extend that they are considered public telecommunications services in accordance with the applicable domestic legislation.

[23] For the purposes of this Section, the term authorisation shall be understood to include the licenses, concessions, permits, registers and any other authorizations that a Party may require to supply telecommunications services.

[24] Only for the EU Party, "or margin squeeze".

[25] Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, do not apply with respect to suppliers of commercial mobile services, nor rural telecommunications services suppliers. For greater certainty, nothing in this Article shall be construed to preclude a Party from imposing the requirements set out in this Article on suppliers of commercial mobile services.

[26] For greater certainty, the obligation contained in this Article shall not be considered a specific commitment pursuant to Article 194, paragraph 2(a).

[27] For greater certainty, the scope of application of this definition shall not imply the supply of a transport service.
