      3.   For goods that are subject to tariff preferences as listed in a Party's tariff elimination schedule in Annex 2-A, each Party shall apply to originating goods of the other Party the lesser of the customs duties resulting from a comparison between the rate calculated in accordance with that Party's Schedule and its applied Most-Favoured-Nation (‘MFN’) rate.
      4.   On the request of a Party, the Parties may consult to consider accelerating and broadening the scope of the elimination of customs duties on imports between the Parties. A decision of the CETA Joint Committee on the acceleration or elimination of a customs duty on a good shall supersede any duty rate or staging category determined pursuant to the Parties' Schedules in Annex 2-A for that good when approved by each Party in accordance with its applicable legal procedures.

      2.   Paragraph 1 does not apply to a Party's regime of tariff reduction, suspension or remission, either permanent or temporary, if the reduction, suspension or remission is not expressly conditioned on the exportation of a good.

      Article 2.7
      Standstill
      1.   Upon the entry into force of this Agreement a Party may not increase a customs duty existing at entry into force, or adopt a new customs duty, on a good originating in the Parties.

                  (a)
               
               
                  modify a tariff outside this Agreement on a good for which no tariff preference is claimed under this Agreement;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  increase a customs duty to the level established in its Schedule in Annex 2-A following a unilateral reduction; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  maintain or increase a customs duty as authorised by this Agreement or any agreement under the WTO Agreement.
               
            3.   Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 and 2, only Canada may apply a special safeguard pursuant to Article 5 of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture. A special safeguard may only be applied with respect to goods classified in items with the notation ‘SSG’ in Canada's Schedule included in Annex 2-A. The use of this special safeguard is limited to imports not subject to tariff preference and, in the case of imports subject to a tariff rate quota, to imports over the access commitment.
      Article 2.8
      Temporary suspension of preferential tariff treatment
      1.   A Party may temporarily suspend, in accordance with paragraphs 2 through 5, the preferential tariff treatment under this Agreement with respect to a good exported or produced by a person of the other Party if the Party:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  as a result of an investigation based on objective, compelling and verifiable information, makes a finding that the person of the other Party has committed systematic breaches of customs legislation in order to obtain preferential tariff treatment under this Agreement; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  makes a finding that the other Party systematically and unjustifiably refuses to cooperate with respect to the investigation of breaches of customs legislation under Article 6.13.4 (Cooperation), and the Party requesting cooperation, based on objective, compelling and verifiable information, has reasonable grounds to conclude that the person of the other Party has committed systematic breaches of customs legislation in order to obtain preferential tariff treatment under this Agreement.
               
            2.   A Party that has made a finding referred to in paragraph 1 shall:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  notify the customs authority of the other Party and provide the information and evidence upon which the finding was based;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  engage in consultations with the authorities of the other Party with a view to achieving a mutually acceptable resolution that addresses the concerns that resulted in the finding; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  provide written notice to that person of the other Party that includes the information that is the basis of the finding.
               
            3.   If the authorities have not achieved a mutually acceptable resolution after 30 days, the Party that has made the finding shall refer the issue to the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee.
      4.   If the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee has not resolved the issue after 60 days, the Party that has made the finding may temporarily suspend the preferential tariff treatment under this Agreement with respect to that good of that person of the other Party. The temporary suspension does not apply to a good that is already in transit between the Parties on the day that the temporary suspension comes into effect.
      5.   The Party applying the temporary suspension under paragraph 1 shall only apply it for a period commensurate with the impact on the financial interests of that Party resulting from the situation responsible for the finding made pursuant to paragraph 1, to a maximum of 90 days. If the Party has reasonable grounds based on objective, compelling and verifiable information that the conditions that gave rise to the initial suspension have not changed after the expiry of the 90 day period, that Party may renew the suspension for a further period of no longer than 90 days. The original suspension and any renewed suspensions are subject to periodic consultations within the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee.
      Article 2.9
      Fees and other charges
      1.   In accordance with Article VIII of GATT 1994, a Party shall not adopt or maintain a fee or charge on or in connection with importation or exportation of a good of a Party that is not commensurate with the cost of services rendered or that represents an indirect protection to domestic goods or a taxation of imports or exports for fiscal purposes.
      2.   For greater certainty, paragraph 1 does not prevent a Party from imposing a customs duty or a charge set out in paragraphs (a) through (c) of the definition of customs duty under Article 1.1 (Definitions of general application).
      Article 2.10
      Goods re-entered after repair or alteration
      1.   For the purposes of this Article, repair or alteration means any processing operation undertaken on goods to remedy operating defects or material damage and entailing the re-establishment of goods to their original function or to ensure their compliance with technical requirements for their use, without which the goods could no longer be used in the normal way for the purposes for which they were intended. Repair or alteration of goods includes restoration and maintenance but does not include an operation or process that:
      
                  (a)

      Article 4.3
      Cooperation
      The Parties shall strengthen their cooperation in the areas of technical regulations, standards, metrology, conformity assessment procedures, market surveillance or monitoring and enforcement activities in order to facilitate trade between the Parties, as set out in Chapter Twenty-One (Regulatory Cooperation). This may include promoting and encouraging cooperation between the Parties' respective public or private organisations responsible for metrology, standardisation, testing, certification and accreditation, market surveillance or monitoring and enforcement activities; and, in particular, encouraging their accreditation and conformity assessment bodies to participate in cooperation arrangements that promote the acceptance of conformity assessment results.
      Article 4.4
      Technical regulations
      1.   The Parties undertake to cooperate to the extent possible, to ensure that their technical regulations are compatible with one another. To this end, if a Party expresses an interest in developing a technical regulation equivalent or similar in scope to one that exists in or is being prepared by the other Party, that other Party shall, on request, provide to the Party, to the extent practicable, the relevant information, studies and data upon which it has relied in the preparation of its technical regulation, whether adopted or being developed. The Parties recognise that it may be necessary to clarify and agree on the scope of a specific request, and that confidential information may be withheld.
      2.   A Party that has prepared a technical regulation that it considers to be equivalent to a technical regulation of the other Party having compatible objective and product scope may request that the other Party recognise the technical regulation as equivalent. The Party shall make the request in writing and set out detailed reasons why the technical regulation should be considered equivalent, including reasons with respect to product scope. The Party that does not agree that the technical regulation is equivalent shall provide to the other Party, upon request, the reasons for its decision.
      Article 4.5
      Conformity assessment
      The Parties shall observe the Protocol on the mutual acceptance of the results of conformity assessment, and the Protocol on the mutual recognition of the compliance and enforcement programme regarding good manufacturing practices for pharmaceutical products.
      Article 4.6
      Transparency
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that transparency procedures regarding the development of technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures allow interested persons of the Parties to participate at an early appropriate stage when amendments can still be introduced and comments taken into account, except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise. Where a consultation process regarding the development of technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures is open to the public, each Party shall permit persons of the other Party to participate on terms no less favourable than those accorded to its own persons.
      2.   The Parties shall promote closer cooperation between the standardisation bodies located within their respective territories with a view to facilitating, among other things, the exchange of information about their respective activities, as well as the harmonisation of standards based on mutual interest and reciprocity, according to modalities to be agreed by the standardisation bodies concerned.
      3.   Each Party shall endeavour to allow a period of at least 60 days following its transmission to the WTO Central Registry of Notifications of proposed technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures for the other Party to provide written comments, except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise. A Party shall give positive consideration to a reasonable request to extend the comment period.
      4.   If a Party receives comments on its proposed technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure from the other Party, it shall reply in writing to those comments before the technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure is adopted.
      5.   Each Party shall publish or otherwise make publicly available, in print or electronically, its responses or a summary of its responses, to significant comments it receives, no later than the date it publishes the adopted technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure.
      6.   Each Party shall, upon request of the other Party, provide information regarding the objectives of, legal basis and rationale for, a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, that the Party has adopted or is proposing to adopt.
      7.   A Party shall give positive consideration to a reasonable request from the other Party, received prior to the end of the comment period following the transmission of a proposed technical regulation, to establish or extend the period of time between the adoption of the technical regulation and the day upon which it is applicable, except where the delay would be ineffective in fulfilling the legitimate objectives pursued.
      8.   Each Party shall ensure that its adopted technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures are publicly available on official websites.
      9.   If a Party detains at a port of entry a good imported from the territory of the other Party on the grounds that the good has failed to comply with a technical regulation, it shall, without undue delay, notify the importer of the reasons for the detention of the good.
      Article 4.7

                  (g)
               
               
                  take other steps that the Parties consider will assist them to implement this Chapter and the TBT Agreement and to facilitate trade between the Parties; and
               
            
                  (h)
               
               
                  report to the CETA Joint Committee on the implementation of this Chapter, as appropriate.
               
            2.   If the Parties are unable to resolve a matter covered under this Chapter through the Committee on Trade in Goods, upon request of a Party, the CETA Joint Committee may establish an ad hoc technical working group to identify solutions to facilitate trade. If a Party does not agree with a request from the other Party to establish a technical working group, it shall, on request, explain the reasons for its decision. The Parties shall lead the technical working group.
      3.   When a Party has requested information, the other Party shall provide the information, pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter, in print or electronically within a reasonable period of time. The Party shall endeavour to respond to each request for information within 60 days.

      Article 5.5
      Adaptation to regional conditions
      1.   With respect to an animal, animal product and animal by-product:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the Parties recognise the concept of zoning and they have decided to apply this concept to the diseases listed in Annex 5-B;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the Parties decide on principles and guidelines to recognise regional conditions, they shall include them in Annex 5-C;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  for the purpose of subparagraph (a), the importing Party shall base its sanitary measure applicable to the exporting Party whose territory is affected by a disease listed in Annex 5-B on the zoning decision made by the exporting Party, provided that the importing Party is satisfied that the exporting Party's zoning decision is in accordance with the principles and guidelines that the Parties set out in Annex 5-C, and is based on relevant international standards, guidelines, and recommendations. The importing Party may apply any additional measure to achieve its appropriate level of sanitary protection;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  if a Party considers that it has a special status with respect to a disease not listed in Annex 5-B, it may request recognition of that status. The importing Party may request additional guarantees for imports of live animals, animal products, and animal by-products appropriate to the agreed status recognised by the importing Party, including the special conditions identified in Annex 5-E; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  the Parties recognise the concept of compartmentalisation and agree to cooperate on this matter.
               
            2.   With respect to a plant and plant product:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  when the importing Party establishes or maintains its phytosanitary measure, it shall take into account, among other things, the pest status of an area, such as a pest-free area, pest-free place of production, pest-free production site, an area of low pest prevalence and a protected zone that the exporting Party has established; and
               
            
                  (b)

            Article 5.6
      Equivalence
      1.   The importing Party shall accept the SPS measure of the exporting Party as equivalent to its own if the exporting Party objectively demonstrates to the importing Party that its measure achieves the importing Party's appropriate level of SPS protection.
      2.   Annex 5-D sets out principles and guidelines to determine, recognise, and maintain equivalence.
      3.   Annex 5-E sets out:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the area for which the importing Party recognises that an SPS measure of the exporting Party is equivalent to its own; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the area for which the importing Party recognises that the fulfilment of the specified special condition, combined with the exporting Party's SPS measure, achieves the importing Party's appropriate level of SPS protection.
               
            4.   For the purposes of this Chapter, Article 1.7 (Reference to laws) applies subject to this Article, Annex 5-D and the General Notes under Annex 5-E.
      Article 5.7
      Trade conditions
      1.   The importing Party shall make available its general SPS import requirements for all commodities. If the Parties jointly identify a commodity as a priority, the importing Party shall establish specific SPS import requirements for that commodity, unless the Parties decide otherwise. In identifying which commodities are priorities, the Parties shall cooperate to ensure the efficient management of their available resources. The specific import requirements should be applicable to the total territory of the exporting Party.
      2.   Pursuant to paragraph 1, the importing Party shall undertake, without undue delay, the necessary process to establish specific SPS import requirements for the commodity that is identified as a priority. Once these specific import requirements are established, the importing Party shall take the necessary steps, without undue delay, to allow trade on the basis of these import requirements.
      3.   For the purpose of establishing the specific SPS import requirements, the exporting Party shall, at the request of the importing Party:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  provide all relevant information required by the importing Party; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  give reasonable access to the importing Party to inspect, test, audit and perform other relevant procedures.
               
            4.   If the importing Party maintains a list of authorised establishments or facilities for the import of a commodity, it shall approve an establishment or facility situated in the territory of the exporting Party without prior inspection of that establishment or facility if:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the exporting Party has requested such an approval for the establishment or facility, accompanied by the appropriate guarantees; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the conditions and procedures set out in Annex 5-F are fulfilled.
               
            5.   Further to paragraph 4, the importing Party shall make its lists of authorised establishments or facilities publicly available.
      6.   A Party shall normally accept a consignment of a regulated commodity without pre-clearance of the commodity on a consignment basis, unless the Parties decide otherwise.
      7.   The importing Party may require that the relevant competent authority of the exporting Party objectively demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the importing Party, that the import requirements may be fulfilled or are fulfilled.
      8.   The Parties should follow the procedure set out in Annex 5-G on the specific import requirements for plant health.
      Article 5.8
      Audit and verification
      1.   For the purpose of maintaining confidence in the implementation of this Chapter, a Party may carry out an audit or verification, or both, of all or part of the control programme of the competent authority of the other Party. The Party shall bear its own costs associated with the audit or verification.
      2.   If the Parties decide on principles and guidelines to conduct an audit or verification, they shall include them in Annex 5-H. If a Party conducts an audit or verification, it shall do so in accordance with any principles and guidelines in Annex 5-H.
      Article 5.9
      Export certification
      1.   When an official health certificate is required to import a consignment of live animals or animal products, and if the importing Party has accepted the SPS measure of the exporting Party as equivalent to its own with respect to such animals or animal products, the Parties shall use the model health attestation prescribed in Annex 5-I for such certificate, unless the Parties decide otherwise. The Parties may also use a model attestation for other products if they so decide.
      2.   Annex 5-I sets out principles and guidelines for export certification, including electronic certification, withdrawal or replacement of certificates, language regimes and model attestations.
      Article 5.10
      Import checks and fees
      1.   Annex 5-J sets out principles and guidelines for import checks and fees, including the frequency rate for import checks.
      2.   If import checks reveal non-compliance with the relevant import requirements, the action taken by the importing Party must be based on an assessment of the risk involved and not be more trade-restrictive than required to achieve the Party's appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection.
      3.   Whenever possible, the importing Party shall notify the importer of a non-compliant consignment, or its representative, of the reason for non-compliance, and provide them with an opportunity for a review of the decision. The importing Party shall consider any relevant information submitted to assist in the review.
      4.   A Party may collect fees for the costs incurred to conduct frontier checks, which should not exceed the recovery of the costs.
      Article 5.11
      Notification and information exchange
      1.   A Party shall notify the other Party without undue delay of a:
      
                  (a)

                  any significant change to the structure or organisation of a Party's competent authority;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  on request, the results of a Party's official control and a report that concerns the results of the control carried out;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the results of an import check provided for in Article 5.10 in case of a rejected or a non-compliant consignment; and

      Article 5.12
      Technical consultations
      If a Party has a significant concern with respect to food safety, plant health, or animal health, or an SPS measure that the other Party has proposed or implemented, that Party may request technical consultations with the other Party. The Party that is the subject of the request should respond to the request without undue delay. Each Party shall endeavour to provide the information necessary to avoid a disruption to trade and, as the case may be, to reach a mutually acceptable solution.

      3.   Measures to facilitate trade shall not hinder mechanisms to protect a person through effective enforcement of and compliance with a Party's law.
      4.   Import, export and transit requirements and procedures shall be no more administratively burdensome or trade restrictive than necessary to achieve a legitimate objective.
      5.   Existing international trade and customs instruments and standards shall be the basis for import, export and transit requirements and procedures, except if these instruments and standards would be an inappropriate or ineffective means for the fulfilment of the legitimate objective pursued.
      Article 6.2

      2.   Each Party shall ensure that these simplified procedures:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  allow for the release of goods within a period of time no longer than that required to ensure compliance with its law;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  allow goods, and to the extent possible controlled or regulated goods, to be released at the first point of arrival;
               
            
                  (c)

                  (d)
               
               
                  allow an importer or its agent to remove goods from customs' control prior to the final determination and payment of customs duties, taxes, and fees. Before releasing the goods, a Party may require that an importer provide sufficient guarantee in the form of a surety, a deposit, or some other appropriate instrument; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  provide for, in accordance with its law, simplified documentation requirements for the entry of low-value goods as determined by each Party.
               
            3.   Each Party, in its simplified procedures, may require the submission of more extensive information through post-entry accounting and verifications, as appropriate.

                  (a)
               
               
                  provide for advance electronic submission and processing of information before physical arrival of goods to enable their release upon arrival, if no risk has been identified or if no random checks are to be performed; and
               
            
                  (b)

A Party shall not impose new or amended fees and charges until it publishes or otherwise makes available this information.
      Article 6.7
      Risk management
      1.   Each Party shall base its examination, release and post-entry verification procedures on risk assessment principles, rather than requiring each shipment offered for entry to be examined in a comprehensive manner for compliance with import requirements.
      2.   Each Party shall adopt and apply its import, export and transit requirements and procedures for goods on the basis of risk management principles and focus compliance measures on transactions that merit attention.
      3.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 do not preclude a Party from conducting quality control and compliance reviews that can require more extensive examinations.

                  (c)
               
               
                  if possible, through its customs administration, provide for the electronic exchange of information with its trading community.
               
            3.   Each Party shall endeavour to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  develop or maintain fully interconnected single window systems to facilitate a single, electronic submission of the information required by customs and non-customs legislation for cross-border movements of goods; and
               
            
                  (b)

      2.   Subject to confidentiality requirements, each Party shall publish, for example on the internet, information on advance rulings on tariff classification that is relevant to understand and apply tariff classification rules.
      3.   To facilitate trade, the Parties shall include in their bilateral dialogue regular updates on changes in their respective laws and implementation measures regarding matters referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2.
      Article 6.10
      Review and appeal
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that an administrative action or official decision taken in respect of the import of goods is reviewable promptly by judicial, arbitral, or administrative tribunals or through administrative procedures.
      2.   The tribunal or official acting pursuant to those administrative procedures shall be independent of the official or office issuing the decision and shall have the competence to maintain, modify or reverse the determination in accordance with the Party's law.

      Most-favoured-nation treatment
      1.   Each Party shall accord to an investor of the other Party and to a covered investment, treatment no less favourable than the treatment it accords in like situations, to investors of a third country and to their investments with respect to the establishment, acquisition, expansion, conduct, operation, management, maintenance, use, enjoyment and sale or disposal of their investments in its territory.
      2.   For greater certainty, the treatment accorded by a Party under paragraph 1 means, with respect to a government in Canada other than at the federal level, or, with respect to a government of or in a Member State of the European Union, treatment accorded, in like situations, by that government to investors in its territory, and to investments of such investors, of a third country.
      3   Paragraph 1 does not apply to treatment accorded by a Party providing for recognition, including through an arrangement or agreement with a third country that recognises the accreditation of testing and analysis services and service suppliers, the accreditation of repair and maintenance services and service suppliers, as well as the certification of the qualifications of or the results of or work done by those accredited services and service suppliers.
      4.   For greater certainty, the ‘treatment’ referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 does not include procedures for the resolution of investment disputes between investors and states provided for in other international investment treaties and other trade agreements. Substantive obligations in other international investment treaties and other trade agreements do not in themselves constitute ‘treatment’, and thus cannot give rise to a breach of this Article, absent measures adopted or maintained by a Party pursuant to those obligations.
      Article 8.8
      Senior management and boards of directors
      A Party shall not require that an enterprise of that Party, that is also a covered investment, appoint to senior management or board of director positions, natural persons of any particular nationality.
      
         Section D
      
      
         
            Investment protection
         
      
      Article 8.9
      Investment and regulatory measures
      1.   For the purpose of this Chapter, the Parties reaffirm their right to regulate within their territories to achieve legitimate policy objectives, such as the protection of public health, safety, the environment or public morals, social or consumer protection or the promotion and protection of cultural diversity.
      2.   For greater certainty, the mere fact that a Party regulates, including through a modification to its laws, in a manner which negatively affects an investment or interferes with an investor's expectations, including its expectations of profits, does not amount to a breach of an obligation under this Section.
      3.   For greater certainty, a Party's decision not to issue, renew or maintain a subsidy:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in the absence of any specific commitment under law or contract to issue, renew, or maintain that subsidy; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in accordance with any terms or conditions attached to the issuance, renewal or maintenance of the subsidy,
                  does not constitute a breach of the provisions of this Section.
               
            4.   For greater certainty, nothing in this Section shall be construed as preventing a Party from discontinuing the granting of a subsidy (9) or requesting its reimbursement where such measure is necessary in order to comply with international obligations between the Parties or has been ordered by a competent court, administrative tribunal or other competent authority (10), or requiring that Party to compensate the investor therefor.
      Article 8.10
      Treatment of investors and of covered investments
      1.   Each Party shall accord in its territory to covered investments of the other Party and to investors with respect to their covered investments fair and equitable treatment and full protection and security in accordance with paragraphs 2 through 7.
      2.   A Party breaches the obligation of fair and equitable treatment referenced in paragraph 1 if a measure or series of measures constitutes:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  denial of justice in criminal, civil or administrative proceedings;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  fundamental breach of due process, including a fundamental breach of transparency, in judicial and administrative proceedings;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  manifest arbitrariness;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  targeted discrimination on manifestly wrongful grounds, such as gender, race or religious belief;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  abusive treatment of investors, such as coercion, duress and harassment; or
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  a breach of any further elements of the fair and equitable treatment obligation adopted by the Parties in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article.
               
            3.   The Parties shall regularly, or upon request of a Party, review the content of the obligation to provide fair and equitable treatment. The Committee on Services and Investment, established under Article 26.2.1(b) (Specialised committees), may develop recommendations in this regard and submit them to the CETA Joint Committee for decision.
      4.   When applying the above fair and equitable treatment obligation, the Tribunal may take into account whether a Party made a specific representation to an investor to induce a covered investment, that created a legitimate expectation, and upon which the investor relied in deciding to make or maintain the covered investment, but that the Party subsequently frustrated.
      5.   For greater certainty, ‘full protection and security’ refers to the Party's obligations relating to the physical security of investors and covered investments.
      6.   For greater certainty, a breach of another provision of this Agreement, or of a separate international agreement does not establish a breach of this Article.
      7.   For greater certainty, the fact that a measure breaches domestic law does not, in and of itself, establish a breach of this Article. In order to ascertain whether the measure breaches this Article, the Tribunal must consider whether a Party has acted inconsistently with the obligations in paragraph 1.
      Article 8.11
      Compensation for losses
      Notwithstanding Article 8.15.5(b), each Party shall accord to investors of the other Party, whose covered investments suffer losses owing to armed conflict, civil strife, a state of emergency or natural disaster in its territory, treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its own investors or to the investors of a third country, whichever is more favourable to the investor concerned, as regards restitution, indemnification, compensation or other settlement.
      Article 8.12
      Expropriation
      1.   A Party shall not nationalise or expropriate a covered investment either directly, or indirectly through measures having an effect equivalent to nationalisation or expropriation (‘expropriation’), except:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  for a public purpose;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  under due process of law;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  in a non-discriminatory manner; and
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  on payment of prompt, adequate and effective compensation.
               
            For greater certainty, this paragraph shall be interpreted in accordance with Annex 8-A.
      2.   The compensation referred to in paragraph 1 shall amount to the fair market value of the investment at the time immediately before the expropriation or the impending expropriation became known, whichever is earlier. Valuation criteria shall include going concern value, asset value including the declared tax value of tangible property, and other criteria, as appropriate, to determine fair market value.
      3.   The compensation shall also include interest at a normal commercial rate from the date of expropriation until the date of payment and shall, in order to be effective for the investor, be paid and made transferable, without delay, to the country designated by the investor and in the currency of the country of which the investor is a national or in any freely convertible currency accepted by the investor.
      4.   The affected investor shall have the right, under the law of the expropriating Party, to a prompt review of its claim and of the valuation of its investment, by a judicial or other independent authority of that Party, in accordance with the principles set out in this Article.
      5.   This Article does not apply to the issuance of compulsory licences granted in relation to intellectual property rights, to the extent that such issuance is consistent with the TRIPS Agreement.
      6.   For greater certainty, the revocation, limitation or creation of intellectual property rights, to the extent that these measures are consistent with the TRIPS Agreement and Chapter Twenty (Intellectual Property), do not constitute expropriation. Moreover, a determination that these measures are inconsistent with the TRIPS Agreement or Chapter Twenty (Intellectual Property) does not establish an expropriation.
      Article 8.13
      Transfers
      1.   Each Party shall permit all transfers relating to a covered investment to be made without restriction or delay in a freely convertible currency and at the market rate of exchange applicable on the date of transfer. Such transfers include:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  contributions to capital, such as principal and additional funds to maintain, develop or increase the investment;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  profits, dividends, interest, capital gains, royalty payments, management fees, technical assistance and other fees, or other forms of returns or amounts derived from the covered investment;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  proceeds from the sale or liquidation of the whole or a part of the covered investment;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  payments made under a contract entered into by the investor or the covered investment, including payments made pursuant to a loan agreement;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  payments made pursuant to Articles 8.11 and 8.12;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  earnings and other remuneration of foreign personnel working in connection with an investment; and
               
            
                  (g)
               
               
                  payments of damages pursuant to an award issued under Section F.
               
            2.   A Party shall not require its investors to transfer, or penalise its investors for failing to transfer, the income, earnings, profits or other amounts derived from, or attributable to, investments in the territory of the other Party.
      3.   Nothing in this Article shall be construed to prevent a Party from applying in an equitable and non-discriminatory manner and not in a way that would constitute a disguised restriction on transfers, its laws relating to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  bankruptcy, insolvency or the protection of the rights of creditors;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  issuing, trading or dealing in securities;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  criminal or penal offences;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  financial reporting or record keeping of transfers when necessary to assist law enforcement or financial regulatory authorities; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  the satisfaction of judgments in adjudicatory proceedings.
               
            Article 8.14
      Subrogation
      If a Party, or an agency of a Party, makes a payment under an indemnity, guarantee or contract of insurance that it has entered into in respect of an investment made by one of its investors in the territory of the other Party, the other Party shall recognise that the Party or its agency shall be entitled in all circumstances to the same rights as those of the investor in respect of the investment. These rights may be exercised by the Party or an agency of the Party, or by the investor if the Party or an agency of the Party so authorises.

            Reservations and exceptions
         
      
      Article 8.15
      Reservations and exceptions
      1.   Articles 8.4 through 8.8 do not apply to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an existing non-conforming measure that is maintained by a Party at the level of:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the European Union, as set out in its Schedule to Annex I;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              a national government, as set out by that Party in its Schedule to Annex I;
                           
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              a provincial, territorial, or regional government, as set out by that Party in its Schedule to Annex I; or
                           
                        
                              (iv)
                           
                           
                              a local government;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the continuation or prompt renewal of a non-conforming measure referred to in subparagraph (a); or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  an amendment to a non-conforming measure referred to in subparagraph (a) to the extent that the amendment does not decrease the conformity of the measure, as it existed immediately before the amendment, with Articles 8.4 through 8.8.
               
            2.   Articles 8.4 through 8.8 do not apply to a measure that a Party adopts or maintains with respect to a sector, subsector or activity, as set out in its Schedule to Annex II.
      3.   Without prejudice to Articles 8.10 and 8.12, a Party shall not adopt a measure or series of measures after the date of entry into force of this Agreement and covered by its Schedule to Annex II, that require, directly or indirectly an investor of the other Party, by reason of nationality, to sell or otherwise dispose of an investment existing at the time the measure or series of measures become effective.
      4.   In respect of intellectual property rights, a Party may derogate from Articles 8.5.1(f), 8.6, and 8.7 if permitted by the TRIPS Agreement, including any amendments to the TRIPS Agreement in force for both Parties, and waivers to the TRIPS Agreement adopted pursuant to Article IX of the WTO Agreement.
      5.   Articles 8.4, 8.6, 8.7 and 8.8 do not apply to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  procurement by a Party of a good or service purchased for governmental purposes and not with a view to commercial resale or with a view to use in the supply of a good or service for commercial sale, whether or not that procurement is ‘covered procurement’ within the meaning of Article 19.2 (Scope and coverage); or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  subsidies, or government support relating to trade in services, provided by a Party.
               
            Article 8.16
      Denial of benefits
      A Party may deny the benefits of this Chapter to an investor of the other Party that is an enterprise of that Party and to investments of that investor if:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an investor of a third country owns or controls the enterprise; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the denying Party adopts or maintains a measure with respect to the third country that:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              relates to the maintenance of international peace and security; and
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              prohibits transactions with the enterprise or would be violated or circumvented if the benefits of this Chapter were accorded to the enterprise or to its investments.
                           
                        
            Article 8.17
      Formal requirements
      Notwithstanding Articles 8.6 and 8.7, a Party may require an investor of the other Party, or its covered investment, to provide routine information concerning that investment solely for informational or statistical purposes, provided that those requests are reasonable and not unduly burdensome. The Party shall protect confidential or protected information from any disclosure that would prejudice the competitive position of the investor or the covered investment. This paragraph does not prevent a Party from otherwise obtaining or disclosing information in connection with the equitable and good faith application of its laws.

            Resolution of investment disputes between investors and states
         
      
      Article 8.18
      Scope
      1.   Without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties under Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement), an investor of a Party may submit to the Tribunal constituted under this Section a claim that the other Party has breached an obligation under:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  Section C, with respect to the expansion, conduct, operation, management, maintenance, use, enjoyment and sale or disposal of its covered investment, or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  Section D,
               
            where the investor claims to have suffered loss or damage as a result of the alleged breach.
      2.   Claims under subparagraph 1(a) with respect to the expansion of a covered investment may be submitted only to the extent the measure relates to the existing business operations of a covered investment and the investor has, as a result, incurred loss or damage with respect to the covered investment.
      3.   For greater certainty, an investor may not submit a claim under this Section if the investment has been made through fraudulent misrepresentation, concealment, corruption, or conduct amounting to an abuse of process.

      Consultations
      1.   A dispute should as far as possible be settled amicably. Such a settlement may be agreed at any time, including after the claim has been submitted pursuant to Article 8.23.

                  (b)

      4.   The investor shall submit to the other Party a request for consultations setting out:
      
                  (a)

                  (b)
               
               
                  if there is more than one investor, the name and address of each investor and, if there is more than one locally established enterprise, the name, address and place of incorporation of each locally established enterprise;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the provisions of this Agreement alleged to have been breached;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the legal and the factual basis for the claim, including the measures at issue; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  the relief sought and the estimated amount of damages claimed.
               
            The request for consultations shall contain evidence establishing that the investor is an investor of the other Party and that it owns or controls the investment including, if applicable, that it owns or controls the locally established enterprise on whose behalf the request is submitted.
      5.   The requirements of the request for consultations set out in paragraph 4 shall be met with sufficient specificity to allow the respondent to effectively engage in consultations and to prepare its defence.
      6.   A request for consultations must be submitted within:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  three years after the date on which the investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise, first acquired or should have first acquired, knowledge of the alleged breach and knowledge that the investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise, has incurred loss or damage thereby; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  two years after an investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise, ceases to pursue claims or proceedings before a tribunal or court under the law of a Party, or when such proceedings have otherwise ended and, in any event, no later than 10 years after the date on which the investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise, first acquired or should have first acquired knowledge of the alleged breach and knowledge that the investor has incurred loss or damage thereby.
               
            7.   A request for consultations concerning an alleged breach by the European Union or a Member State of the European Union shall be sent to the European Union.
      8.   In the event that the investor has not submitted a claim pursuant to Article 8.23 within 18 months of submitting the request for consultations, the investor is deemed to have withdrawn its request for consultations and, if applicable, its notice requesting a determination of the respondent, and shall not submit a claim under this Section with respect to the same measures. This period may be extended by agreement of the disputing parties.
      Article 8.20
      Mediation
      1.   The disputing parties may at any time agree to have recourse to mediation.
      2.   Recourse to mediation is without prejudice to the legal position or rights of either disputing party under this Chapter and is governed by the rules agreed to by the disputing parties including, if available, the rules for mediation adopted by the Committee on Services and Investment pursuant to Article 8.44.3(c).
      3.   The mediator is appointed by agreement of the disputing parties. The disputing parties may also request that the Secretary General of ICSID appoint the mediator.

A decision by a disputing party to terminate the mediation shall be transmitted by way of a letter to the mediator and the other disputing party.
      Article 8.21
      Determination of the respondent for disputes with the European Union or its Member States
      1.   If the dispute cannot be settled within 90 days of the submission of the request for consultations, the request concerns an alleged breach of this Agreement by the European Union or a Member State of the European Union and the investor intends to submit a claim pursuant to Article 8.23, the investor shall deliver to the European Union a notice requesting a determination of the respondent.
      2.   The notice under paragraph 1 shall identify the measures in respect of which the investor intends to submit a claim.
      3.   The European Union shall, after having made a determination, inform the investor as to whether the European Union or a Member State of the European Union shall be the respondent.
      4.   In the event that the investor has not been informed of the determination within 50 days of delivering its notice requesting such determination:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if the measures identified in the notice are exclusively measures of a Member State of the European Union, the Member State shall be the respondent;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the measures identified in the notice include measures of the European Union, the European Union shall be the respondent.
               
            5.   The investor may submit a claim pursuant to Article 8.23 on the basis of the determination made pursuant to paragraph 3, and, if no such determination has been communicated to the investor, on the basis of the application of paragraph 4.
      6.   If the European Union or a Member State of the European Union is the respondent, pursuant to paragraph 3 or 4, neither the European Union, nor the Member State of the European Union may assert the inadmissibility of the claim, lack of jurisdiction of the Tribunal or otherwise object to the claim or award on the ground that the respondent was not properly determined pursuant to paragraph 3 or identified on the basis of the application of paragraph 4.
      7.   The Tribunal shall be bound by the determination made pursuant to paragraph 3 and, if no such determination has been communicated to the investor, the application of paragraph 4.
      Article 8.22
      Procedural and other requirements for the submission of a claim to the Tribunal
      1.   An investor may only submit a claim pursuant to Article 8.23 if the investor:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  delivers to the respondent, with the submission of a claim, its consent to the settlement of the dispute by the Tribunal in accordance with the procedures set out in this Section;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  allows at least 180 days to elapse from the submission of the request for consultations and, if applicable, at least 90 days to elapse from the submission of the notice requesting a determination of the respondent;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  has fulfilled the requirements of the notice requesting a determination of the respondent;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  has fulfilled the requirements related to the request for consultations;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  does not identify a measure in its claim that was not identified in its request for consultations;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  withdraws or discontinues any existing proceeding before a tribunal or court under domestic or international law with respect to a measure alleged to constitute a breach referred to in its claim; and
               
            
                  (g)
               
               
                  waives its right to initiate any claim or proceeding before a tribunal or court under domestic or international law with respect to a measure alleged to constitute a breach referred to in its claim.
               
            2.   If the claim submitted pursuant to Article 8.23 is for loss or damage to a locally established enterprise or to an interest in a locally established enterprise that the investor owns or controls directly or indirectly, the requirements in subparagraphs 1(f) and (g) apply both to the investor and the locally established enterprise.
      3.   The requirements of subparagraphs 1(f) and (g) and paragraph 2 do not apply in respect of a locally established enterprise if the respondent or the investor's host state has deprived the investor of control of the locally established enterprise, or has otherwise prevented the locally established enterprise from fulfilling those requirements.
      4.   Upon request of the respondent, the Tribunal shall decline jurisdiction if the investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise fails to fulfil any of the requirements of paragraphs 1 and 2.
      5.   The waiver provided pursuant to subparagraph 1(g) or paragraph 2 as applicable shall cease to apply:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if the Tribunal rejects the claim on the basis of a failure to meet the requirements of paragraph 1 or 2 or on any other procedural or jurisdictional grounds;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the Tribunal dismisses the claim pursuant to Article 8.32 or Article 8.33; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  if the investor withdraws its claim, in conformity with the applicable rules under Article 8.23.2, within 12 months of the constitution of the division of the Tribunal.
               
            Article 8.23

            2.   A claim may be submitted under the following rules:

                  any other rules on agreement of the disputing parties.
               
            3.   In the event that the investor proposes rules pursuant to subparagraph 2(d), the respondent shall reply to the investor's proposal within 20 days of receipt. If the disputing parties have not agreed on such rules within 30 days of receipt, the investor may submit a claim under the rules provided for in subparagraph 2(a), (b) or (c).
      4.   For greater certainty, a claim submitted under subparagraph 1(b) shall satisfy the requirements of Article 25(1) of the ICSID Convention.
      5.   The investor may, when submitting its claim, propose that a sole Member of the Tribunal should hear the claim.

      Article 8.27
      Constitution of the Tribunal
      1.   The Tribunal established under this Section shall decide claims submitted pursuant to Article 8.23.
      2.   The CETA Joint Committee shall, upon the entry into force of this Agreement, appoint fifteen Members of the Tribunal. Five of the Members of the Tribunal shall be nationals of a Member State of the European Union, five shall be nationals of Canada (11) and five shall be nationals of third countries.
      3.   The CETA Joint Committee may decide to increase or to decrease the number of the Members of the Tribunal by multiples of three. Additional appointments shall be made on the same basis as provided for in paragraph 2.
      4.   The Members of the Tribunal shall possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment to judicial office, or be jurists of recognised competence. They shall have demonstrated expertise in public international law. It is desirable that they have expertise in particular, in international investment law, in international trade law and the resolution of disputes arising under international investment or international trade agreements.
      5.   The Members of the Tribunal appointed pursuant to this Section shall be appointed for a five-year term, renewable once. However, the terms of seven of the 15 persons appointed immediately after the entry into force of this Agreement, to be determined by lot, shall extend to six years. Vacancies shall be filled as they arise. A person appointed to replace a Member of the Tribunal whose term of office has not expired shall hold office for the remainder of the predecessor's term. In principle, a Member of the Tribunal serving on a division of the Tribunal when his or her term expires may continue to serve on the division until a final award is issued.
      6.   The Tribunal shall hear cases in divisions consisting of three Members of the Tribunal, of whom one shall be a national of a Member State of the European Union, one a national of Canada and one a national of a third country. The division shall be chaired by the Member of the Tribunal who is a national of a third country.
      7.   Within 90 days of the submission of a claim pursuant to Article 8.23, the President of the Tribunal shall appoint the Members of the Tribunal composing the division of the Tribunal hearing the case on a rotation basis, ensuring that the composition of the divisions is random and unpredictable, while giving equal opportunity to all Members of the Tribunal to serve.
      8.   The President and Vice-President of the Tribunal shall be responsible for organisational issues and shall be appointed for a two-year term and shall be drawn by lot from among the Members of the Tribunal who are nationals of third countries. They shall serve on the basis of a rotation drawn by lot by the Chair of the CETA Joint Committee. The Vice-President shall replace the President when the President is unavailable.
      9.   Notwithstanding paragraph 6, the disputing parties may agree that a case be heard by a sole Member of the Tribunal to be appointed at random from the third country nationals. The respondent shall give sympathetic consideration to a request from the claimant to have the case heard by a sole Member of the Tribunal, in particular where the claimant is a small or medium-sized enterprise or the compensation or damages claimed are relatively low. Such a request shall be made before the constitution of the division of the Tribunal.
      10.   The Tribunal may draw up its own working procedures.
      11.   The Members of the Tribunal shall ensure that they are available and able to perform the functions set out under this Section.
      12.   In order to ensure their availability, the Members of the Tribunal shall be paid a monthly retainer fee to be determined by the CETA Joint Committee.
      13.   The fees referred to in paragraph 12 shall be paid equally by both Parties into an account managed by the ICSID Secretariat. In the event that one Party fails to pay the retainer fee the other Party may elect to pay. Any such arrears by a Party shall remain payable, with appropriate interest.
      14.   Unless the CETA Joint Committee adopts a decision pursuant to paragraph 15, the amount of the fees and expenses of the Members of the Tribunal on a division constituted to hear a claim, other than the fees referred to in paragraph 12, shall be those determined pursuant to Regulation 14(1) of the Administrative and Financial Regulations of the ICSID Convention in force on the date of the submission of the claim and allocated by the Tribunal among the disputing parties in accordance with Article 8.39.5.
      15.   The CETA Joint Committee may, by decision, transform the retainer fee and other fees and expenses into a regular salary, and decide applicable modalities and conditions.
      16.   The ICSID Secretariat shall act as Secretariat for the Tribunal and provide it with appropriate support.
      17.   If the CETA Joint Committee has not made the appointments pursuant to paragraph 2 within 90 days from the date that a claim is submitted for dispute settlement, the Secretary General of ICSID shall, at the request of either disputing party appoint a division consisting of three Members of the Tribunal, unless the disputing parties have agreed that the case is to be heard by a sole Member of the Tribunal. The Secretary General of ICSID shall make the appointment by random selection from the existing nominations. The Secretary-General of ICSID may not appoint as chair a national of either Canada or a Member State of the European Union unless the disputing parties agree otherwise.

                              (i)

            Article 8.29
      Establishment of a multilateral investment tribunal and appellate mechanism
      The Parties shall pursue with other trading partners the establishment of a multilateral investment tribunal and appellate mechanism for the resolution of investment disputes. Upon establishment of such a multilateral mechanism, the CETA Joint Committee shall adopt a decision providing that investment disputes under this Section will be decided pursuant to the multilateral mechanism and make appropriate transitional arrangements.
      Article 8.30
      Ethics
      1.   The Members of the Tribunal shall be independent. They shall not be affiliated with any government (12). They shall not take instructions from any organisation, or government with regard to matters related to the dispute. They shall not participate in the consideration of any disputes that would create a direct or indirect conflict of interest. They shall comply with the International Bar Association Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration or any supplemental rules adopted pursuant to Article 8.44.2. In addition, upon appointment, they shall refrain from acting as counsel or as party-appointed expert or witness in any pending or new investment dispute under this or any other international agreement.
      2.   If a disputing party considers that a Member of the Tribunal has a conflict of interest, it may invite the President of the International Court of Justice to issue a decision on the challenge to the appointment of such Member. Any notice of challenge shall be sent to the President of the International Court of Justice within 15 days of the date on which the composition of the division of the Tribunal has been communicated to the disputing party, or within 15 days of the date on which the relevant facts came to its knowledge, if they could not have reasonably been known at the time of composition of the division. The notice of challenge shall state the grounds for the challenge.
      3.   If, within 15 days from the date of the notice of challenge, the challenged Member of the Tribunal has elected not to resign from the division, the President of the International Court of Justice may, after receiving submissions from the disputing parties and after providing the Member of the Tribunal an opportunity to submit any observations, issue a decision on the challenge. The President of the International Court of Justice shall endeavour to issue the decision and to notify the disputing parties and the other Members of the division within 45 days of receipt of the notice of challenge. A vacancy resulting from the disqualification or resignation of a Member of the Tribunal shall be filled promptly.
      4.   Upon a reasoned recommendation from the President of the Tribunal, or on their joint initiative, the Parties, by decision of the CETA Joint Committee, may remove a Member from the Tribunal where his or her behaviour is inconsistent with the obligations set out in paragraph 1 and incompatible with his or her continued membership of the Tribunal.
      Article 8.31
      Applicable law and interpretation
      1.   When rendering its decision, the Tribunal established under this Section shall apply this Agreement as interpreted in accordance with the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, and other rules and principles of international law applicable between the Parties.
      2.   The Tribunal shall not have jurisdiction to determine the legality of a measure, alleged to constitute a breach of this Agreement, under the domestic law of a Party. For greater certainty, in determining the consistency of a measure with this Agreement, the Tribunal may consider, as appropriate, the domestic law of a Party as a matter of fact. In doing so, the Tribunal shall follow the prevailing interpretation given to the domestic law by the courts or authorities of that Party and any meaning given to domestic law by the Tribunal shall not be binding upon the courts or the authorities of that Party.
      3.   Where serious concerns arise as regards matters of interpretation that may affect investment, the Committee on Services and Investment may, pursuant to Article 8.44.3(a), recommend to the CETA Joint Committee the adoption of interpretations of this Agreement. An interpretation adopted by the CETA Joint Committee shall be binding on the Tribunal established under this Section. The CETA Joint Committee may decide that an interpretation shall have binding effect from a specific date.
      Article 8.32
      Claims manifestly without legal merit
      1.   The respondent may, no later than 30 days after the constitution of the division of the Tribunal, and in any event before its first session, file an objection that a claim is manifestly without legal merit.
      2.   An objection shall not be submitted under paragraph 1 if the respondent has filed an objection pursuant to Article 8.33.
      3.   The respondent shall specify as precisely as possible the basis for the objection.
      4.   On receipt of an objection pursuant to this Article, the Tribunal shall suspend the proceedings on the merits and establish a schedule for considering such an objection consistent with its schedule for considering any other preliminary question.
      5.   The Tribunal, after giving the disputing parties an opportunity to present their observations, shall at its first session or promptly thereafter, issue a decision or award stating the grounds therefor. In doing so, the Tribunal shall assume the alleged facts to be true.
      6.   This Article shall be without prejudice to the Tribunal's authority to address other objections as a preliminary question or to the right of the respondent to object, in the course of the proceeding, that a claim lacks legal merit.
      Article 8.33
      Claims unfounded as a matter of law
      1.   Without prejudice to the Tribunal's authority to address other objections as a preliminary question or to a respondent's right to raise any such objections at an appropriate time, the Tribunal shall address and decide as a preliminary question any objection by the respondent that, as a matter of law, a claim, or any part thereof, submitted pursuant to Article 8.23 is not a claim for which an award in favour of the claimant may be made under this Section, even if the facts alleged were assumed to be true.
      2.   An objection under paragraph 1 shall be submitted to the Tribunal no later than the date the Tribunal fixes for the respondent to submit its counter-memorial.
      3.   If an objection has been submitted pursuant to Article 8.32, the Tribunal may, taking into account the circumstances of that objection, decline to address, under the procedures set out in this Article, an objection submitted pursuant to paragraph 1.
      4.   On receipt of an objection under paragraph 1, and, if appropriate, after rendering a decision pursuant to paragraph 3, the Tribunal shall suspend any proceedings on the merits, establish a schedule for considering the objection consistent with any schedule it has established for considering any other preliminary question, and issue a decision or award on the objection stating the grounds therefor.
      Article 8.34
      Interim measures of protection
      The Tribunal may order an interim measure of protection to preserve the rights of a disputing party or to ensure that the Tribunal's jurisdiction is made fully effective, including an order to preserve evidence in the possession or control of a disputing party or to protect the Tribunal's jurisdiction. The Tribunal shall not order attachment or enjoin the application of the measure alleged to constitute a breach referred to in Article 8.23. For the purposes of this Article, an order includes a recommendation.
      Article 8.35
      Discontinuance
      If, following the submission of a claim under this Section, the investor fails to take any steps in the proceeding during 180 consecutive days or such period as the disputing parties may agree, the investor is deemed to have withdrawn its claim and to have discontinued the proceeding. The Tribunal shall, at the request of the respondent, and after notice to the disputing parties, in an order take note of the discontinuance. After the order has been rendered the authority of the Tribunal shall lapse.
      Article 8.36
      Transparency of proceedings
      1.   The UNCITRAL Transparency Rules, as modified by this Chapter, shall apply in connection with proceedings under this Section.
      2.   The request for consultations, the notice requesting a determination of the respondent, the notice of determination of the respondent, the agreement to mediate, the notice of intent to challenge a Member of the Tribunal, the decision on challenge to a Member of the Tribunal and the request for consolidation shall be included in the list of documents to be made available to the public under Article 3(1) of the UNCITRAL Transparency Rules.
      3.   Exhibits shall be included in the list of documents to be made available to the public under Article 3(2) of the UNCITRAL Transparency Rules.
      4.   Notwithstanding Article 2 of the UNCITRAL Transparency Rules, prior to the constitution of the Tribunal, Canada or the European Union as the case may be shall make publicly available in a timely manner relevant documents pursuant to paragraph 2, subject to the redaction of confidential or protected information. Such documents may be made publicly available by communication to the repository.
      5.   Hearings shall be open to the public. The Tribunal shall determine, in consultation with the disputing parties, the appropriate logistical arrangements to facilitate public access to such hearings. If the Tribunal determines that there is a need to protect confidential or protected information, it shall make the appropriate arrangements to hold in private that part of the hearing requiring such protection.
      6.   Nothing in this Chapter requires a respondent to withhold from the public information required to be disclosed by its laws. The respondent should apply those laws in a manner sensitive to protecting from disclosure information that has been designated as confidential or protected information.
      Article 8.37
      Information sharing
      1.   A disputing party may disclose to other persons in connection with the proceedings, including witnesses and experts, such unredacted documents as it considers necessary in the course of proceedings under this Section. However, the disputing party shall ensure that those persons protect the confidential or protected information contained in those documents.
      2.   This Agreement does not prevent a respondent from disclosing to officials of, as applicable, the European Union, Member States of the European Union and sub-national governments, such unredacted documents as it considers necessary in the course of proceedings under this Section. However, the respondent shall ensure that those officials protect the confidential or protected information contained in those documents.
      Article 8.38
      Non-disputing Party
      1.   The respondent shall, within 30 days after receipt or promptly after any dispute concerning confidential or protected information has been resolved, deliver to the non-disputing Party:

                  (b)
               
               
                  on request:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              pleadings, memorials, briefs, requests and other submissions made to the Tribunal by a disputing party;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              written submissions made to the Tribunal pursuant to Article 4 of the UNCITRAL Transparency Rules;
                           
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              minutes or transcripts of hearings of the Tribunal, if available; and
                           
                        
                              (iv)
                           
                           
                              orders, awards and decisions of the Tribunal; and
                           
                        
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  on request and at the cost of the non-disputing Party, all or part of the evidence that has been tendered to the Tribunal, unless the requested evidence is publicly available.
               
            2.   The Tribunal shall accept or, after consultation with the disputing parties, may invite, oral or written submissions from the non-disputing Party regarding the interpretation of this Agreement. The non-disputing Party may attend a hearing held under this Section.
      3.   The Tribunal shall not draw any inference from the absence of a submission pursuant to paragraph 2.
      4.   The Tribunal shall ensure that the disputing parties are given a reasonable opportunity to present their observations on a submission by the non-disputing Party to this Agreement.
      Article 8.39
      Final award
      1.   If the Tribunal makes a final award against the respondent, the Tribunal may only award, separately or in combination:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  monetary damages and any applicable interest;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  restitution of property, in which case the award shall provide that the respondent may pay monetary damages representing the fair market value of the property at the time immediately before the expropriation, or impending expropriation became known, whichever is earlier, and any applicable interest in lieu of restitution, determined in a manner consistent with Article 8.12.
               
            2.   Subject to paragraphs 1 and 5, if a claim is made under Article 8.23.1(b):
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an award of monetary damages and any applicable interest shall provide that the sum be paid to the locally established enterprise;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  an award of restitution of property shall provide that restitution be made to the locally established enterprise;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  an award of costs in favour of the investor shall provide that it is to be made to the investor; and
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the award shall provide that it is made without prejudice to a right that a person, other than a person which has provided a waiver pursuant to Article 8.22, may have in monetary damages or property awarded under a Party's law.
               
            3.   Monetary damages shall not be greater than the loss suffered by the investor or, as applicable, the locally established enterprise, reduced by any prior damages or compensation already provided. For the calculation of monetary damages, the Tribunal shall also reduce the damages to take into account any restitution of property or repeal or modification of the measure.
      4.   The Tribunal shall not award punitive damages.
      5.   The Tribunal shall order that the costs of the proceedings be borne by the unsuccessful disputing party. In exceptional circumstances, the Tribunal may apportion costs between the disputing parties if it determines that apportionment is appropriate in the circumstances of the claim. Other reasonable costs, including costs of legal representation and assistance, shall be borne by the unsuccessful disputing party, unless the Tribunal determines that such apportionment is unreasonable in the circumstances of the claim. If only parts of the claims have been successful the costs shall be adjusted, proportionately, to the number or extent of the successful parts of the claims.
      6.   The CETA Joint Committee shall consider supplemental rules aimed at reducing the financial burden on claimants who are natural persons or small and medium-sized enterprises. Such supplemental rules may, in particular, take into account the financial resources of such claimants and the amount of compensation sought.
      7.   The Tribunal and the disputing parties shall make every effort to ensure the dispute settlement process is carried out in a timely manner. The Tribunal shall issue its final award within 24 months of the date the claim is submitted pursuant to Article 8.23. If the Tribunal requires additional time to issue its final award, it shall provide the disputing parties the reasons for the delay.
      Article 8.40
      Indemnification or other compensation
      A respondent shall not assert, and the Tribunal shall not accept a defence, counterclaim, right of setoff, or similar assertion, that an investor or, as applicable, a locally established enterprise, has received or will receive indemnification or other compensation pursuant to an insurance or guarantee contract in respect of all or part of the compensation sought in a dispute initiated pursuant to this Section.
      Article 8.41
      Enforcement of awards
      1.   An award issued pursuant to this Section shall be binding between the disputing parties and in respect of that particular case.
      2.   Subject to paragraph 3, a disputing party shall recognise and comply with an award without delay.
      3.   A disputing party shall not seek enforcement of a final award until:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in the case of a final award issued under the ICSID Convention:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              120 days have elapsed from the date the award was rendered and no disputing party has requested revision or annulment of the award; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              enforcement of the award has been stayed and revision or annulment proceedings have been completed;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in the case of a final award under the ICSID Additional Facility Rules, the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, or any other rules applicable pursuant to Article 8. 23.2(d):
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              90 days have elapsed from the date the award was rendered and no disputing party has commenced a proceeding to revise, set aside or annul the award; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              enforcement of the award has been stayed and a court has dismissed or allowed an application to revise, set aside or annul the award and there is no further appeal.
                           
                        
            4.   Execution of the award shall be governed by the laws concerning the execution of judgments or awards in force where the execution is sought.
      5.   A final award issued pursuant to this Section is an arbitral award that is deemed to relate to claims arising out of a commercial relationship or transaction for the purposes of Article I of the New York Convention.
      6.   For greater certainty, if a claim has been submitted pursuant to Article 8.23.2(a), a final award issued pursuant to this Section shall qualify as an award under Chapter IV, Section 6 of the ICSID Convention.
      Article 8.42
      Role of the Parties
      1.   A Party shall not bring an international claim, in respect of a claim submitted pursuant to Article 8.23, unless the other Party has failed to abide by and comply with the award rendered in that dispute.
      2.   Paragraph 1 shall not exclude the possibility of dispute settlement under Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement) in respect of a measure of general application even if that measure is alleged to have breached this Agreement as regards a specific investment in respect of which a claim has been submitted pursuant to Article 8.23 and is without prejudice to Article 8.38.
      3.   Paragraph 1 does not preclude informal exchanges for the sole purpose of facilitating a settlement of the dispute.
      Article 8.43
      Consolidation
      1.   When two or more claims that have been submitted separately pursuant to Article 8.23 have a question of law or fact in common and arise out of the same events or circumstances, a disputing party or the disputing parties, jointly, may seek the establishment of a separate division of the Tribunal pursuant to this Article and request that such division issue a consolidation order (‘request for consolidation’).
      2.   The disputing party seeking a consolidation order shall first deliver a notice to the disputing parties it seeks to be covered by this order.
      3.   If the disputing parties notified pursuant to paragraph 2 have reached an agreement on the consolidation order to be sought, they may make a joint request for the establishment of a separate division of the Tribunal and a consolidation order pursuant to this Article. If the disputing parties notified pursuant to paragraph 2 have not reached agreement on the consolidation order to be sought within 30 days of the notice, a disputing party may make a request for the establishment of a separate division of the Tribunal and a consolidation order pursuant to this Article.
      4.   The request shall be delivered, in writing, to the President of the Tribunal and to all the disputing parties sought to be covered by the order, and shall specify:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the names and addresses of the disputing parties sought to be covered by the order;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the claims, or parts thereof, sought to be covered by the order; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the grounds for the order sought.
               
            5.   A request for consolidation involving more than one respondent shall require the agreement of all such respondents.
      6.   The rules applicable to the proceedings under this Article are determined as follows:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if all of the claims for which a consolidation order is sought have been submitted to dispute settlement under the same rules pursuant to Article 8.23, these rules shall apply;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the claims for which a consolidation order is sought have not been submitted to dispute settlement under the same rules:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the investors may collectively agree on the rules pursuant to Article 8.23.2; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              if the investors cannot agree on the applicable rules within 30 days of the President of the Tribunal receiving the request for consolidation, the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules shall apply.
                           
                        
            7.   The President of the Tribunal shall, after receipt of a consolidation request and in accordance with the requirements of Article 8.27.7 constitute a new division (‘consolidating division’) of the Tribunal which shall have jurisdiction over some or all of the claims, in whole or in part, which are the subject of the joint consolidation request.
      8.   If, after hearing the disputing parties, a consolidating division is satisfied that claims submitted pursuant to Article 8.23 have a question of law or fact in common and arise out of the same events or circumstances, and consolidation would best serve the interests of fair and efficient resolution of the claims including the interest of consistency of awards, the consolidating division of the Tribunal may, by order, assume jurisdiction over some or all of the claims, in whole or in part.
      9.   If a consolidating division of the Tribunal has assumed jurisdiction pursuant to paragraph 8, an investor that has submitted a claim pursuant to Article 8.23 and whose claim has not been consolidated may make a written request to the Tribunal that it be included in such order provided that the request complies with the requirements set out in paragraph 4. The consolidating division of the Tribunal shall grant such order where it is satisfied that the conditions of paragraph 8 are met and that granting such a request would not unduly burden or unfairly prejudice the disputing parties or unduly disrupt the proceedings. Before consolidating division of the Tribunal issues that order, it shall consult with the disputing parties.
      10.   On application of a disputing party, a consolidating division of the Tribunal established under this Article, pending its decision under paragraph 8, may order that the proceedings of the division of the Tribunal appointed under Article 8.27.7 be stayed unless the latter Tribunal has already adjourned its proceedings.
      11.   The division of the Tribunal appointed under Article 8.27.7 shall cede jurisdiction in relation to the claims, or parts thereof, over which a consolidating division of the Tribunal established under this Article has assumed jurisdiction.
      12.   The award of a consolidating division of the Tribunal established under this Article in relation to those claims, or parts thereof, over which it has assumed jurisdiction is binding on the division of the Tribunal appointed under Article 8.27.7 as regards those claims, or parts thereof.
      13.   An investor may withdraw a claim under this Section that is subject to consolidation and such claim shall not be resubmitted pursuant to Article 8.23. If it does so no later than 15 days after receipt of the notice of consolidation, its earlier submission of the claim shall not prevent the investor's recourse to dispute settlement other than under this Section.
      14.   At the request of an investor, a consolidating division of the Tribunal may take such measures as it sees fit in order to preserve the confidential or protected information of that investor in relation to other investors. Those measures may include the submission of redacted versions of documents containing confidential or protected information to the other investors or arrangements to hold parts of the hearing in private.
      Article 8.44
      Committee on Services and Investment
      1.   The Committee on Services and Investment shall provide a forum for the Parties to consult on issues related to this Chapter, including:

            2.   The Committee on Services and Investment shall, on agreement of the Parties, and after completion of their respective internal requirements and procedures, adopt a code of conduct for the Members of the Tribunal to be applied in disputes arising out of this Chapter, which may replace or supplement the rules in application, and may address topics including:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  disclosure obligations;
               
            
                  (b)

                  (c)
               
               
                  confidentiality.
               
            The Parties shall make best efforts to ensure that the code of conduct is adopted no later than the first day of the provisional application or entry into force of this Agreement, as the case may be, and in any event no later than two years after such date.
      3.   The Committee Services and Investment may, on agreement of the Parties, and after completion of their respective internal requirements and procedures:

                  adopt and amend rules supplementing the applicable dispute settlement rules, and amend the applicable rules on transparency. These rules and amendments are binding on the Tribunal established under this Section;
               
            
                  (c)

                  (e)
               
               
                  make recommendations to the CETA Joint Committee on the functioning of the Appellate Tribunal pursuant to Article 8.28.8.

                              (iii)

            Article 9.5
      Most-favoured-nation treatment
      1.   Each Party shall accord to service suppliers and services of the other Party treatment no less favourable than that it accords, in like situations, to service suppliers and services of a third country.
      2.   For greater certainty, the treatment accorded by a Party pursuant to paragraph 1 means, with respect to a government in Canada other than at the federal level, or, with respect to a government of or in a Member State of the European Union, the treatment accorded, in like situations, by that government in its territory to services or service suppliers of a third country.
      3.   Paragraph 1 does not apply to treatment accorded by a Party under an existing or future measure providing for recognition, including through an arrangement or agreement with a third country that recognises the accreditation of testing and analysis services and service suppliers, the accreditation of repair and maintenance services and service suppliers, as well as the certification of the qualifications of, or the results of, or work done by, those accredited services and service suppliers.
      Article 9.6
      Market access
      A Party shall not adopt or maintain, on the basis of its entire territory or on the basis of the territory of a national, provincial, territorial, regional or local level of government, a measure that imposes limitations on:

                  (b)
               
               
                  the total value of service transactions or assets in the form of numerical quotas or the requirement of an economic needs test; or
               
            
                  (c)

      Objectives and scope

      2.   This Chapter applies to measures adopted or maintained by a Party concerning the temporary entry and stay into its territory of key personnel, contractual services suppliers, independent professionals and short-term business visitors. This Chapter shall not apply to measures affecting natural persons seeking access to the employment market of a Party, nor shall it apply to measures regarding citizenship, residence, or employment on a permanent basis.
      3.   Nothing in this Chapter shall prevent a Party from applying measures to regulate the entry of natural persons into, or their temporary stay in, its territory, including those measures necessary to protect the integrity of, and to ensure the orderly movement of natural persons across its borders, provided that such measures are not applied in such a manner as to nullify or impair the benefits accruing to any Party under the terms of this Chapter. The sole fact of requiring a visa for natural persons of a certain country and not for those of others shall not be regarded as nullifying or impairing benefits under this Chapter.
      4.   To the extent that commitments are not taken in this Chapter, all other requirements of the laws of the Parties regarding entry and stay continue to apply, including those concerning period of stay.
      5.   Notwithstanding the provisions of this Chapter, all requirements of the Parties' laws regarding employment and social security measures shall continue to apply, including regulations concerning minimum wages as well as collective wage agreements.
      6.   This Chapter does not apply to cases where the intent or effect of the temporary entry and stay is to interfere with or otherwise affect the outcome of a labour or management dispute or negotiation, or the employment of natural persons who are involved in such dispute or negotiation.
      Article 10.3
      General obligations

      2.   Each Party shall apply its measures relating to the provisions of this Chapter in accordance with Article 10.2.1, and, in particular, shall apply those measures so as to avoid unduly impairing or delaying trade in goods or services or the conduct of investment activities under this Agreement.
      3.   Each Party shall ensure that any fees for processing applications for temporary entry are reasonable and commensurate with the costs incurred.
      Article 10.4
      Provision of information
      1.   Further to Chapter Twenty-Seven (Transparency), and recognising the importance to the Parties of transparency of temporary entry information, each Party shall, no later than 180 days after the date of entry into force of this Agreement, make available to the other Party explanatory material regarding the requirements for temporary entry under this Chapter that enables business persons of the other Party to be acquainted with those requirements.
      2.   If a Party collects and maintains data relating to temporary entry by category of business persons under this Chapter, the Party shall make this data available to the other Party on request, in accordance with its law related to privacy and data protection.

      1.   This Chapter establishes a framework to facilitate a fair, transparent and consistent regime for the mutual recognition of professional qualifications by the Parties and sets out the general conditions for the negotiation of MRAs.
      2.   This Chapter applies to professions which are regulated in each Party, including in all or some Member States of the European Union and in all or some provinces and territories of Canada.
      3.   A Party shall not accord recognition in a manner that would constitute a means of discrimination in the application of its criteria for the authorisation, licensing or certification of a service supplier, or that would constitute a disguised restriction on trade in services.
      4.   An MRA adopted pursuant to this Chapter shall apply throughout the territories of the European Union and Canada.
      Article 11.3
      Negotiation of an MRA
      1.   Each Party shall encourage its relevant authorities or professional bodies, as appropriate, to develop and provide to the Joint Committee on Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (‘MRA Committee’) established under Article 26.2.1(b) joint recommendations on proposed MRAs.
      2.   A recommendation shall provide an assessment of the potential value of an MRA, on the basis of criteria such as the existing level of market openness, industry needs, and business opportunities, for example, the number of professionals likely to benefit from the MRA, the existence of other MRAs in the sector, and expected gains in terms of economic and business development. In addition, it shall provide an assessment as to the compatibility of the licensing or qualification regimes of the Parties and the intended approach for the negotiation of an MRA.
      3.   The MRA Committee shall, within a reasonable period of time, review the recommendation with a view to ensuring its consistency with the requirements of this Chapter. If these requirements are satisfied, the MRA Committee shall establish the necessary steps to negotiate and each Party shall inform its respective relevant authorities of these steps.
      4.   The negotiating entities shall thereafter pursue the negotiation and submit a draft MRA text to the MRA Committee.
      5.   The MRA Committee will thereafter review the draft MRA to ensure its consistency with this Agreement.
      6.   If in the view of the MRA Committee the MRA is consistent with this Agreement, the MRA Committee shall adopt the MRA by means of a decision, which is conditional upon subsequent notification to the MRA Committee by each Party of the fulfilment of its respective internal requirements. The decision becomes binding on the Parties upon that notification to the MRA Committee by each Party.
      Article 11.4
      Recognition
      1.   The recognition of professional qualifications provided by an MRA shall allow the service supplier to practice professional activities in the host jurisdiction, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the MRA.
      2.   If the professional qualifications of a service supplier of a Party are recognised by the other Party pursuant to an MRA, the relevant authorities of the host jurisdiction shall accord to this service supplier treatment no less favourable than that accorded in like situations to a like service supplier whose professional qualifications have been certified or attested in the Party's own jurisdiction.
      3.   Recognition under an MRA cannot be conditioned upon:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a service supplier meeting a citizenship or any form of residency requirement; or

            Article 12.3
      Licensing and qualification requirements and procedures
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that licensing requirements, qualification requirements, licensing procedures, or qualification procedures it adopts or maintains are based on criteria that preclude the competent authority from exercising its power of assessment in an arbitrary manner.
      2.   The criteria referred to in paragraph 1 shall be:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  clear and transparent;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  objective; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  established in advance and made publicly accessible.
               
            3.   The Parties recognise that the exercise of statutory discretion conferred on a minister with respect to a decision on the granting of an authorisation in the public interest is not inconsistent with subparagraph 2(c), provided that it is exercised consistently with the object of the applicable statute and not in an arbitrary manner, and that its exercise is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement.
      4.   Paragraph 3 does not apply to licensing requirements, or qualification requirements for a professional service.
      5.   Each Party shall ensure that an authorisation is granted as soon as the competent authority determines that the conditions for the authorisation have been met, and once granted, that the authorisation enters into effect without undue delay, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified therein.
      6.   Each Party shall maintain or institute judicial, arbitral, or administrative tribunals or procedures that provide for, at the request of an affected investor, as defined in Article 8.1 (Definitions), or an affected service supplier, as defined in Article 1.1 (Definitions of general application), a prompt review of, and if justified, appropriate remedies for, administrative decisions affecting the supply of a service or the pursuit of any other economic activity. If such procedures are not independent of the agency entrusted with the administrative decision concerned, each Party shall ensure that the procedures are applied in a way that provides for an objective and impartial review.
      7.   Each Party shall ensure that licensing procedures or qualification procedures it adopts or maintains are as simple as possible, and do not unduly complicate or delay the supply of a service, or the pursuit of any other economic activity.
      8.   An authorisation fee that an applicant may incur in relation to its application for an authorisation shall be reasonable and commensurate with the costs incurred, and shall not in itself restrict the supply of a service or the pursuit of any other economic activity.
      9.   Authorisation fees do not include payments for auction, the use of natural resources, royalties, tendering or other non-discriminatory means of awarding concessions, or mandated contributions to provide a universal service.
      10.   Each Party shall ensure that licensing procedures, or qualification procedures used by the competent authority and decisions of the competent authority in the authorisation process are impartial with respect to all applicants. The competent authority should reach its decisions in an independent manner and in particular should not be accountable to any person supplying a service or pursuing any other economic activity for which the authorisation is required.
      11.   If specific time periods for authorising applications exist, an applicant shall be allowed a reasonable period for the submission of an application. The competent authority shall initiate the processing of an application without undue delay. If possible, applications should be accepted in electronic format under similar conditions of authenticity as paper submissions.
      12.   Authenticated copies should be accepted, if considered appropriate, in place of original documents.
      13.   Each Party shall ensure that the processing of an authorisation application, including reaching a final decision, is completed within a reasonable timeframe from the submission of a complete application. Each Party should establish the normal timeframe for the processing of an application.
      14.   At the request of an applicant, a Party's competent authority shall provide, without undue delay, information concerning the status of the application.
      15.   If an application is considered incomplete, a Party's competent authority shall, within a reasonable period of time, inform the applicant, identify the additional information required to complete the application, and provide the applicant an opportunity to correct deficiencies.
      16.   If a Party's competent authority rejects an application, it shall inform the applicant in writing and without undue delay. Upon request of the applicant, the Party's competent authority shall also inform the applicant of the reasons the application was rejected and of the timeframe for an appeal or review against the decision. An applicant should be permitted, within reasonable time limits, to resubmit an application.

                              the total number of financial service operations or the total quantity of financial services output expressed in terms of designated numerical units in the form of quotas or the requirement of an economic needs test;

            2.   Article 8.4.2 (Market access) is incorporated into and made a part of this Article.
      3.   For greater certainty:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a Party may impose terms, conditions, and procedures for the authorisation of the establishment and expansion of a commercial presence provided that they do not circumvent the Party's obligation under paragraph 1 and are consistent with the other provisions of this Chapter; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  this Article does not prevent a Party from requiring a financial institution to supply certain financial services through separate legal entities if, under the law of the Party, the range of financial services supplied by the financial institution may not be supplied through a single entity.
               
            Article 13.7
      Cross-border supply of financial services
      1.   Articles 9.3 (National treatment), 9.4 (Formal requirements), and 9.6 (Market access) are incorporated into and made a part of this Chapter and apply to treatment of cross-border financial service suppliers supplying the financial services specified in Annex 13-A.
      2.   The treatment accorded by a Party to its own service suppliers and services under Article 9.3.2 (National treatment) means treatment accorded to its own financial service suppliers and financial services.
      3.   The measures that a Party shall not adopt or maintain with respect to service suppliers and services of the other Party under Article 9.6 (Market access) means measures relating to cross-border financial service suppliers of the other Party supplying financial services.
      4.   Article 9.5 (Most-favoured-nation treatment) is incorporated into and made a part of this Chapter and applies to treatment of cross-border financial service suppliers of the other Party.
      5.   The treatment accorded by a Party to service suppliers and services of a third country under Article 9.5 (Most-favoured-nation treatment) means treatment accorded to financial service suppliers of a third country and financial services of a third country.
      6.   Each Party shall permit a person located in its territory, and a national wherever they are located, to purchase a financial service from a cross-border financial service supplier of the other Party located in the territory of that other Party. This obligation does not require a Party to permit such suppliers to do business or solicit in its territory. Each Party may define ‘doing business’ and ‘solicitation’ for the purposes of this Article, in conformity with paragraph 1.
      7.   For the financial services specified in Annex 13-A, each Party shall permit a cross-border financial service supplier of the other Party, on request or notification to the relevant regulator, where required, to supply a financial service through any new form of delivery, or to sell a financial product that is not sold in the Party's territory where the first Party permits its own financial service suppliers to supply such a service or to sell such a product under its law in like situations.
      Article 13.8
      Senior management and boards of directors
      A Party shall not require that a financial institution of the other Party appoint to senior management or board of director positions, natural persons of any particular nationality.
      Article 13.9
      Performance requirements
      1.   The Parties shall negotiate disciplines on performance requirements such as those contained in Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) with respect to investments in financial institutions.
      2.   If, after three years of entry into force of this Agreement, the Parties have not agreed to such disciplines, upon request of a Party, Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) shall be incorporated into and made a part of this Chapter and shall apply to investments in financial institutions. For this purpose, ‘investment’ in Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) means ‘investment in a financial institution in its territory’.
      3.   Within 180 days following the successful negotiation by the Parties on the performance requirement disciplines pursuant to paragraph 1, or following a Party's request for incorporation of Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) into this Chapter pursuant to paragraph 2, as the case may be, each Party may amend its Schedule as required. Any amendment must be limited to the listing of reservations for existing measures that do not conform with the performance requirements obligation under this Chapter, for Canada in Section A of its Schedule to Annex III and for the European Union in its Schedule to Annex I. Article 13.10.1 shall apply to such measures with respect to the performance requirement disciplines negotiated pursuant to paragraph 1, or Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) as incorporated into this Chapter pursuant to paragraph 2, as the case may be.
      Article 13.10

                              a local government;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)

                  an amendment to a non-conforming measure referred to in subparagraph (a) to the extent that the amendment does not decrease the conformity of the measure, as it existed immediately before the amendment, with Articles 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, or 13.8.
               
            2.   Article 13.7 does not apply to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an existing non-conforming measure that is maintained by a Party at the level of:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the European Union, as set out in its Schedule to Annex I;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              a national government, as set out by Canada in Section A of its Schedule to Annex III or the European Union in its Schedule to Annex I;
                           
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              a provincial, territorial, or regional government, as set out by Canada in Section A of its Schedule to Annex III or the European Union in its Schedule to Annex I; or
                           
                        
                              (iv)
                           
                           
                              a local government;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the continuation or prompt renewal of a non-conforming measure referred to in subparagraph (a); or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  an amendment to a non-conforming measure referred to in subparagraph (a) to the extent that the amendment does not decrease the conformity of the measure, as it existed upon the entry into force of this Agreement, with Article 13.7.
               
            3.   Articles 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 13.7, and 13.8 do not apply to a measure that Canada adopts or maintains with respect to financial services as set out in Section B of its Schedule to Annex III, or to a measure that the European Union adopts or maintains with respect to financial services as set out in its Schedule to Annex II.
      4.   If a Party has set out a reservation to Articles 8.4 (Market access), 8.5 (Performance requirements), 8.6 (National treatment), 8.7 (Most-favoured-nation treatment), 8.8 (Senior management and boards of directors), 9.3 (National treatment), 9.5 (Most-favoured-nation treatment), or 9.6 (Market access) in its Schedule to Annex I or II, the reservation also constitutes a reservation to Articles 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 13.7, or 13.8, or to any discipline on performance requirements negotiated pursuant to Article 13.9.1 or incorporated into this Chapter pursuant to Article 13.9.2, as the case may be, to the extent that the measure, sector, sub-sector or activity set out in the reservation is covered by this Chapter.
      5.   A Party shall not adopt a measure or series of measures after the date of entry into force of this Agreement that are covered by Section B of Canada's Schedule to Annex III, or by the Schedule to Annex II of the European Union and that require, directly or indirectly, an investor of the other Party, by reason of nationality, to sell or otherwise dispose of an investment existing at the time the measure or series of measures became effective.
      6.   In respect of intellectual property rights, a Party may derogate from Articles 13.3 and 13.4, and from any discipline on technology transfer in relation to performance requirements negotiated pursuant to Article 13.9.1 or incorporated into this Chapter pursuant to Article 13.9.2, as the case may be, if the derogation is permitted by the TRIPS Agreement, including waivers to the TRIPS Agreement adopted pursuant to Article IX of the WTO Agreement.
      7.   Articles 13.3, 13.4, 13.6, 13.7, 13.8, and 13.9 do not apply to:

                  procurement by a Party of a good or service purchased for governmental purposes and not with a view to commercial resale or with a view to use in the supply of a good or service for commercial sale, whether or not that procurement is ‘covered procurement’ within the meaning of Article 19.2 (Scope and coverage); or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  subsidies, or government support relating to trade in services, provided by a Party.
               
            Article 13.11
      Effective and transparent regulation
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that all measures of general application to which this Chapter applies are administered in a reasonable, objective, and impartial manner.
      2.   Each Party shall ensure that its laws, regulations, procedures, and administrative rulings of general application with respect to any matter covered by this Chapter are promptly published or made available in such a manner as to enable an interested person and the other Party to become acquainted with them. To the extent possible, each Party shall:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  publish in advance any such measures that it proposes to adopt;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  provide an interested person and the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment on these proposed measures; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  allow reasonable time between the final publication of the measures and the date they become effective.
               
            For the purposes of this Chapter, these requirements replace those set out in Article 27.1 (Publication).
      3.   Each Party shall maintain or establish appropriate mechanisms to respond within a reasonable period of time to an inquiry from an interested person regarding measures of general application covered by this Chapter.
      4.   A regulatory authority shall make an administrative decision on a completed application of an investor in a financial institution, a cross-border financial service supplier, or a financial institution of the other Party relating to the supply of a financial service within a reasonable period of time that is justified by the complexity of the application and the normal period of time established for the processing of the application. For Canada, such a reasonable time period is 120 days. The regulatory authority shall promptly notify the applicant of the decision. If it is not practicable for a decision to be made within a reasonable period of time, the regulatory authority shall promptly notify the applicant and endeavour to make the decision as soon as possible. For greater certainty, an application is not considered complete until all relevant hearings are held and the regulatory authority has received all necessary information.
      Article 13.12
      Self-regulatory organisations
      If a Party requires a financial institution or a cross-border financial service supplier of the other Party to be a member of, participate in, or have access to, a self-regulatory organisation to supply a financial service in or into the territory of that Party, or grants a privilege or advantage when supplying a financial service through a self-regulatory organisation, then the requiring Party shall ensure that the self-regulatory organisation observes the obligations of this Chapter.
      Article 13.13
      Payment and clearing systems
      Under terms and conditions that accord national treatment, each Party shall grant a financial service supplier of the other Party established in its territory access to payment and clearing systems operated by a Party, or by an entity exercising governmental authority delegated to it by a Party, and access to official funding and refinancing facilities available in the normal course of ordinary business. This Article does not confer access to a Party's lender of last resort facilities.
      Article 13.14
      New financial services
      1.   Each Party shall permit a financial institution of the other Party to supply any new financial service that the first Party would permit its own financial institutions, in like situations, to supply under its law, on request or notification to the relevant regulator, if required.
      2.   A Party may determine the institutional and juridical form through which the new financial service may be supplied and may require authorisation for the supply of the service. If authorisation is required, a decision shall be made within a reasonable period of time and the authorisation may only be refused for prudential reasons.
      3.   This Article does not prevent a financial institution of a Party from applying to the other Party to consider authorising the supply of a financial service that is not supplied within either Party's territory. That application is subject to the law of the Party receiving the application and is not subject to the obligations of this Article.
      Article 13.15
      Transfer and processing of information
      1.   Each Party shall permit a financial institution or a cross-border financial service supplier of the other Party to transfer information in electronic or other form, into and out of its territory, for data processing if processing is required in the ordinary course of business of the financial institution or the cross-border financial service supplier.
      2.   Each Party shall maintain adequate safeguards to protect privacy, in particular with regard to the transfer of personal information. If the transfer of financial information involves personal information, such transfers shall be in accordance with the legislation governing the protection of personal information of the territory of the Party where the transfer has originated.
      Article 13.16
      Prudential carve-out
      1.   This Agreement does not prevent a Party from adopting or maintaining reasonable measures for prudential reasons, including:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the protection of investors, depositors, policy-holders, or persons to whom a financial institution, cross-border financial service supplier, or financial service supplier owes a fiduciary duty;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the maintenance of the safety, soundness, integrity, or financial responsibility of a financial institution, cross-border financial service supplier, or financial service supplier; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  ensuring the integrity and stability of a Party's financial system.
               
            2.   Without prejudice to other means of prudential regulation of cross-border trade in financial services, a Party may require the registration of cross-border financial service suppliers of the other Party and of financial instruments.
      3.   Subject to Articles 13.3 and 13.4, a Party may, for prudential reasons, prohibit a particular financial service or activity. Such a prohibition shall not apply to all financial services or to a complete financial services sub-sector, such as banking.
      Article 13.17
      Specific exceptions
      1.   This Agreement does not apply to measures taken by a public entity in pursuit of monetary or exchange rate policies. This paragraph does not affect a Party's obligations under Articles 8.5 (Performance requirements), 8.13 (Transfers), or 13.9.
      2.   This Agreement does not require a Party to furnish or allow access to information relating to the affairs and accounts of individual consumers, cross-border financial service suppliers, financial institutions, or to any confidential information which, if disclosed, would interfere with specific regulatory, supervisory, or law enforcement matters, or would otherwise be contrary to public interest or prejudice legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises.
      Article 13.18
      Financial Services Committee
      1.   The Financial Services Committee established under Article 26.2.1(f) (Specialised committees) shall include representatives of authorities in charge of financial services policy with expertise in the field covered by this Chapter. For Canada, the Committee representative is an official from the Department of Finance Canada or its successor.
      2.   The Financial Services Committee shall decide by mutual consent.

                  supervise the implementation of this Chapter;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  carry out a dialogue on the regulation of the financial services sector with a view to improving mutual knowledge of the Parties' respective regulatory systems and to cooperate in the development of international standards as illustrated by the Understanding on the dialogue on the regulation of the financial services sector contained in Annex 13-C; and
               
            
                  (c)

            Article 13.19
      Consultations
      1.   A Party may request consultations with the other Party regarding any matter arising under this Agreement that affects financial services. The other Party shall give sympathetic consideration to the request.
      2.   Each Party shall ensure that when there are consultations pursuant to paragraph 1 its delegation includes officials with the relevant expertise in the area covered by this Chapter. For Canada this means officials of the Department of Finance Canada or its successor.
      Article 13.20
      Dispute settlement
      1.   Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement) applies as modified by this Article to the settlement of disputes arising under this Chapter.
      2.   If the Parties are unable to agree on the composition of the arbitration panel established for the purposes of a dispute arising under this Chapter, Article 29.7 (Composition of the arbitration panel) applies. However, all references to the list of arbitrators established under Article 29.8 (List of arbitrators) shall be understood to refer to the list of arbitrators established under this Article.
      3.   The CETA Joint Committee may establish a list of at least 15 individuals, chosen on the basis of objectivity, reliability, and sound judgement, who are willing and able to serve as arbitrators. The list shall be composed of three sub-lists: one sub-list for each Party and one sub-list of individuals, who are not nationals of either Party, to act as chairpersons. Each sub-list shall include at least five individuals. The CETA Joint Committee may review the list at any time and shall ensure that the list conforms with this Article.
      4.   The arbitrators included on the list must have expertise or experience in financial services law or regulation or in the practice thereof, which may include the regulation of financial service suppliers. The arbitrators acting as chairpersons must also have experience as counsel, panellist, or arbitrator in dispute settlement proceedings. Arbitrators shall be independent, serve in their individual capacity, and shall not take instructions from any organisation or government. They shall comply with the Code of Conduct in Annex 29-B (Code of conduct).
      5.   If an arbitration panel finds that a measure is inconsistent with this Agreement and the measure affects:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the financial services sector and any other sector, the complaining Party may suspend benefits in the financial services sector that have an effect equivalent to the effect of the measure in the Party's financial services sector; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  only a sector other than the financial services sector, the complaining Party shall not suspend benefits in the financial services sector.
               
            Article 13.21
      Investment disputes in financial services
      1.   Section F of Chapter Eight (Resolution of investment disputes between investors and states) applies, as modified by this Article and Annex 13-B, to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  investment disputes pertaining to measures to which this Chapter applies and in which an investor claims that a Party has breached Article 8.10 (Treatment of investors and of covered investments), 8.11 (Compensation for losses), 8.12 (Expropriation), 8.13 (Transfers), 8.16 (Denial of benefits), 13.3, or 13.4; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  investment disputes commenced pursuant to Section F of Chapter Eight (Resolution of investment disputes between investors and states) in which Article 13.16.1 has been invoked.
               
            2.   In the case of an investment dispute under subparagraph 1(a), or if the respondent invokes Article 13.16.1 within 60 days of the submission of a claim to the Tribunal under Article 8.23 (Submission of a claim to the Tribunal), a division of the Tribunal shall be composed, in accordance with Article 8.27.7 (Constitution of the Tribunal) from the list established under Article 13.20.3. If the respondent invokes Article 13.16.1 within 60 days of the submission of a claim, with respect to an investment dispute other than under subparagraph 1(a), the period of time applicable to the composition of a division of the Tribunal under Article 8.27.7 (Constitution of the Tribunal) commences on the date the respondent invokes Article 13.16.1. If the CETA Joint Committee has not made the appointments pursuant to Article 8.27.2 (Constitution of the Tribunal) within the period of time provided in Article 8.27.17 (Constitution of the Tribunal), either disputing party may request that the Secretary-General of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (‘ICSID’) select the Members of the Tribunal from the list established under Article 13.20. If the list has not been established under Article 13.20 on the date the claim is submitted pursuant to Article 8.23 (Submission of a claim to the Tribunal), the Secretary-General of ICSID shall select the Members of the Tribunal from the individuals proposed by one or both of the Parties in accordance with Article 13.20.
      3.   The respondent may refer the matter in writing to the Financial Services Committee for a decision as to whether and, if so, to what extent the exception under Article 13.16.1 is a valid defence to the claim. This referral shall not be made later than the date the Tribunal fixes for the respondent to submit its counter-memorial. If the respondent refers the matter to the Financial Services Committee under this paragraph the periods of time or proceedings referred to in Section F of Chapter Eight (Resolution of investment disputes between investors and states) are suspended.
      4.   In a referral under paragraph 3, the Financial Services Committee or the CETA Joint Committee, as the case may be, may make a joint determination as to whether and to what extent Article 13.16.1 is a valid defence to the claim. The Financial Services Committee or the CETA Joint Committee, as the case may be, shall transmit a copy of the joint determination to the investor and the Tribunal, if constituted. If the joint determination concludes that Article 13.16.1 is a valid defence to all parts of the claim in their entirety, the investor is deemed to have withdrawn its claim and the proceedings are discontinued in accordance with Article 8.35 (Discontinuance). If the joint determination concludes that Article 13.16.1 is a valid defence to only parts of the claim, the joint determination is binding on the Tribunal with respect to those parts of the claim. The suspension of the periods of time or proceedings described in paragraph 3 then no longer applies and the investor may proceed with the remaining parts of the claim.
      5.   If the CETA Joint Committee has not made a joint determination within three months of referral of the matter by the Financial Services Committee, the suspension of the periods of time or proceedings referred to in paragraph 3 no longer applies and the investor may proceed with its claim.
      6.   At the request of the respondent, the Tribunal shall decide as a preliminary matter whether and to what extent Article 13.16.1 is a valid defence to the claim. Failure of the respondent to make that request is without prejudice to the right of the respondent to assert Article 13.16.1 as a defence in a later phase of the proceedings. The Tribunal shall draw no adverse inference from the fact that the Financial Services Committee or the CETA Joint Committee has not agreed on a joint determination in accordance with Annex13-B.

            Article 15.3
      Access to and use of public telecommunications transport networks or services
      1.   A Party shall ensure that enterprises of the other Party are accorded access to and use of public telecommunications transport networks or services on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions, including with respect to quality, technical standards and specifications (25). The Parties shall apply this obligation, among other things, as set out in paragraphs 2 through 6.

                  the privacy of users of public telecommunications transport services,
               
            subject to the requirement that these measures are not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade.
      5.   Each Party shall ensure that no condition is imposed on access to and use of public telecommunications transport networks or services other than as necessary to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  safeguard the public service responsibilities of suppliers of public telecommunications transport networks or services, in particular their ability to make their networks or services available to the public generally;

      3.   Each Party shall ensure that suppliers of public telecommunications transport services that acquire information from another such supplier during the process of negotiating interconnection arrangements use that information solely for the purpose for which it was supplied and respect at all times the confidentiality of information transmitted or stored.
      4.   Each Party shall ensure that the procedures applicable for interconnection to a major supplier shall be made publicly available.
      5.   Each Party shall ensure that a major supplier makes publicly available either its interconnection agreements or reference interconnection offer if it is appropriate.

                  (b)
               
               
                  suppliers of telecommunications networks or services of the other Party requesting access to essential facilities or interconnection with a major supplier in the Party's territory have, within a reasonable and publicly specified period of time, recourse to a regulatory authority to resolve disputes regarding the appropriate terms, conditions and rates for interconnection or access with that major supplier.
               
            2.   Each Party shall ensure that an enterprise whose interests are adversely affected by a determination or decision of a regulatory authority may obtain review of the determination or decision by an impartial and independent judicial, quasi-judicial or administrative authority, as provided in the law of the Party. The judicial, quasi-judicial or administrative authority shall provide the enterprise with written reasons supporting its determination or decision. Each Party shall ensure that these determinations or decisions, subject to appeal or further review, are implemented by the regulatory authority.
      3.   An application for judicial review does not constitute grounds for non-compliance with the determination or decision of the regulatory authority unless the relevant judicial authority stays this determination or decision.

                              specifications of technical interfaces;
                           
                        
                              (iv)

                  (c)
               
               
                  information on bodies responsible for preparing, amending and adopting standards-related measures.
               
            Article 15.14
      Forbearance
      The Parties recognise the importance of a competitive market to achieve legitimate public policy objectives for telecommunications services.

      Article 15.15
      Relation to other chapters
      If there is any inconsistency between this Chapter and another Chapter, this Chapter prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

                     anti-competitive business conduct means anti-competitive agreements, concerted practices or arrangements by competitors, anti-competitive practices by an enterprise that is dominant in a market, and mergers with substantial anti-competitive effects; and,

            Article 17.2
      Competition policy
      1.   The Parties recognise the importance of free and undistorted competition in their trade relations. The Parties acknowledge that anti-competitive business conduct has the potential to distort the proper functioning of markets and undermine the benefits of trade liberalisation.
      2.   The Parties shall take appropriate measures to proscribe anti-competitive business conduct, recognising that such measures will enhance the fulfilment of the objectives of this Agreement.
      3.   The Parties shall cooperate on matters relating to the proscription of anti-competitive business conduct in the free trade area in accordance with the Agreement between the European Communities and the Government of Canada Regarding the Application of their Competition Laws, done at Bonn on 17 June 1999.
      4.   The measures referred to in paragraph 2 shall be consistent with the principles of transparency, non-discrimination, and procedural fairness.

A Party shall make available to the other Party public information concerning such exclusions provided under its competition law.
      Article 17.3
      Application of competition policy to enterprises
      1.   A Party shall ensure that the measures referred to in Article 17.2.2 apply to the Parties to the extent required by its law.
      2.   For greater certainty:

                  in Canada, the Competition Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-34 is binding on and applies to an agent of Her Majesty in right of Canada, or of a province, that is a corporation, in respect of commercial activities engaged in by the corporation in competition, whether actual or potential, with other persons to the extent that it would apply if the agent were not an agent of Her Majesty. Such an agent may include state enterprises, monopolies, and enterprises granted special or exclusive rights or privileges; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in the European Union, state enterprises, monopolies, and enterprises granted special rights or privileges are subject to the European Union's rules on competition. However, enterprises entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly are subject to these rules, in so far as the application of these rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
               
            Article 17.4
      Dispute settlement
      Nothing in this Chapter shall be subject to any form of dispute settlement pursuant to this Agreement.

      2.   If a covered entity described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of the definition of ‘covered entity’ in Article 18.1 acts in accordance with Article 18.5.1, the Party in whose territory the covered entity is located shall be deemed to be in compliance with the obligations set out in paragraph 1 in respect of that covered entity.
      Article 18.5
      Commercial considerations
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that a covered entity in its territory acts in accordance with commercial considerations in the purchase or sale of goods, including with regard to price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation, and other terms and conditions of purchase or sale, as well as in the purchase or supply of services, including when such goods or services are supplied to or by an investment of an investor of the other Party.

                  (b)

                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              if the procurement provides for the possibility of options, the total value of such options.
                           
                        
            7.   If an individual requirement for a procurement results in the award of more than one contract, or in the award of contracts in separate parts (‘recurring contracts’) the calculation of the estimated maximum total value shall be based on:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the value of recurring contracts of the same type of good or service awarded during the preceding 12 months or the procuring entity's preceding fiscal year, adjusted, if possible, to take into account anticipated changes in the quantity or value of the good or service being procured over the following 12 months; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the estimated value of recurring contracts of the same type of good or service to be awarded during the 12 months following the initial contract award or the procuring entity's fiscal year.
               
            8.   In the case of procurement by lease, rental or hire purchase of a good or a service, or procurement for which a total price is not specified, the basis for valuation shall be:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in the case of a fixed-term contract:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              if the term of the contract is 12 months or less, the total estimated maximum value for its duration; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              if the term of the contract exceeds 12 months, the total estimated maximum value, including any estimated residual value;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the contract is for an indefinite period, the estimated monthly instalment multiplied by 48; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  if it is not certain whether the contract is to be a fixed-term contract, subparagraph (b) shall be used.
               
            Article 19.3
      Security and general exceptions
      1.   Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent a Party from taking any action or from not disclosing any information that it considers necessary for the protection of its essential security interests relating to the procurement:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  of arms, ammunition (27) or war material;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  or to procurement indispensable for national security; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  for national defence purposes.
               
            2.   Subject to the requirement that such measures are not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between Parties where the same conditions prevail or a disguised restriction on international trade, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent a Party from imposing or enforcing measures:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  necessary to protect public morals, order or safety;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  necessary to protect intellectual property; or
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  relating to goods or services of persons with disabilities, of philanthropic institutions or of prison labour.
               
            Article 19.4
      General principles
      1.   With respect to any measure regarding covered procurement, each Party, including its procuring entities, shall accord immediately and unconditionally to the goods and services of the other Party and to the suppliers of the other Party offering such goods or services, treatment no less favourable than the treatment the Party, including its procuring entities, accords to its own goods, services and suppliers. For greater certainty, such treatment includes:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  within Canada, treatment no less favourable than that accorded by a province or territory, including its procuring entities, to goods and services of, and to suppliers located in, that province or territory; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  within the European Union, treatment no less favourable than that accorded by a Member State or a sub-central region of a Member State, including its procuring entities, to goods and services of, and suppliers located in, that Member State or sub-central region, as the case may be.
               
            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 the degree of foreign affiliation or ownership; or
               
            
                  (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.   When conducting covered procurement by electronic means, a procuring entity 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 of receipt and the prevention of inappropriate access.
               
            4.   A procuring entity shall conduct covered procurement in a transparent and impartial manner that:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  is consistent with this Chapter, using methods such as open tendering, selective tendering and limited tendering;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  avoids conflicts of interest; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  prevents corrupt practices.
               
            5.   For the purposes of covered procurement, a Party shall not apply rules of origin to goods or services imported from or supplied from the other 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.
      6.   With regard to covered procurement, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not seek, take account of, impose or enforce any offset.
      7.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to: customs duties and charges of any kind imposed on, or in connection with, importation; the method of levying such duties and charges; other import regulations or formalities and measures affecting trade in services other than measures governing covered procurement.
      Article 19.5

                  (b)

                  (c)
               
               
                  shall not require prior experience in the territory of the Party to be a condition of the procurement.
               
            3.   In assessing whether a supplier satisfies the conditions for participation, a procuring entity:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  shall evaluate the financial capacity and the commercial and technical abilities of a supplier on the basis of that supplier's business activities both inside and outside the territory of the Party of the procuring entity; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  shall base its evaluation on the conditions that the procuring entity has specified in advance in notices or tender documentation.
               
            4.   If there is supporting evidence, a Party, including its procuring entities, may exclude a supplier on grounds such as:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  bankruptcy;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  false declarations;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  significant or persistent deficiencies in performance of any substantive requirement or obligation under a prior contract or contracts;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  final judgments in respect of serious crimes or other serious offences;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  professional misconduct or acts or omissions that adversely reflect on the commercial integrity of the supplier; or
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  failure to pay taxes.
               
            Article 19.8
      Qualification of suppliers
      1.   A Party, including its procuring entities, may maintain a supplier registration system under which interested suppliers are required to register and provide certain information.
      2.   Each Party shall ensure that:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  its procuring entities make efforts to minimise differences in their qualification procedures; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if its procuring entities maintain registration systems, the entities make efforts to minimise differences in their registration systems.
               
            3.   A Party, including its procuring entities, shall not adopt or apply a registration system or qualification procedure with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to the participation of suppliers of the other Party in its procurement.
      4.   If 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 Article 19.6.3(a), (b), (f), (g), (j), (k) and (l) 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 in Article 19.6.3(c), (d), (e), (h) and (i) to the qualified suppliers that it notifies as specified in Article 19.10.3(b).
               
            5.   A procuring entity shall allow all qualified suppliers to participate 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.
      6.   If the tender documentation is not made publicly available from the date of publication of the notice referred to in paragraph 4, a procuring entity shall ensure that those documents are made available at the same time to all the qualified suppliers selected in accordance with paragraph 5.
      7.   A procuring entity may maintain a multi-use list of suppliers, provided that a notice inviting interested suppliers to apply for inclusion on the list is:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  published annually; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if published by electronic means, made available continuously,
               
            in the appropriate medium listed in Annex 19-8.
      8.   The notice provided for in paragraph 7 shall include:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a description of the goods or services, or categories thereof, for which the list may be used;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the conditions for participation to be satisfied by suppliers for inclusion on the list and the methods that the procuring entity will use to verify that a supplier satisfies the conditions;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the name and address of the procuring entity and other information necessary to contact the entity and obtain all relevant documents relating to the list;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the period of validity of the list and the means for its renewal or termination, or if the period of validity is not provided, an indication of the method by which notice will be given of the termination of use of the list; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  an indication that the list may be used for procurement covered by this Chapter.
               
            9.   Notwithstanding paragraph 7, if a multi-use list will be valid for three years or less, a procuring entity may publish the notice referred to in paragraph 7 only once, at the beginning of the period of validity of the list, provided that the notice:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  states the period of validity and that further notices will not be published; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  is published by electronic means and is made available continuously during the period of its validity.
               
            10.   A procuring entity shall allow suppliers to apply at any time for inclusion on a multi-use list and shall include on the list all qualified suppliers within a reasonably short time.
      11.   If a supplier that is not included on a multi-use list submits a request for participation in a procurement based on a multi-use list and all required documents, within the time-period provided for in Article 19.10.2, a procuring entity shall examine the request. The procuring entity shall not exclude the supplier from consideration in respect of the procurement on the grounds that the entity has insufficient time to examine the request, unless, in exceptional cases, due to the complexity of the procurement, the entity is not able to complete the examination of the request within the time-period allowed for the submission of tenders.
      12.   A procuring entity covered under Annexes 19-2 or 19-3 may use a notice inviting suppliers to apply for inclusion on a multi-use list as a notice of intended procurement, provided that:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the notice is published in accordance with paragraph 7 and includes the information required under paragraph 8, as much of the information required under Article 19.6.3 as is available and a statement that it constitutes a notice of intended procurement or that only the suppliers on the multi-use list will receive further notices of procurement covered by the multi-use list; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the entity promptly provides to suppliers that have expressed an interest in a given procurement to the entity, sufficient information to permit them to assess their interest in the procurement, including all remaining information required in Article 19.6.3, to the extent such information is available.
               
            13.   A procuring entity covered under Annexes 19-2 or 19-3 may allow a supplier that has applied for inclusion on a multi-use list in accordance with paragraph 10 to tender in a given procurement, if there is sufficient time for the procuring entity to examine whether the supplier satisfies the conditions for participation.
      14.   A procuring entity shall promptly inform any supplier that submits a request for participation in a procurement or application for inclusion on a multi-use list of the procuring entity's decision with respect to the request or application.
      15.   If a procuring entity rejects a supplier's request for participation in a procurement or application for inclusion on a multi-use list, ceases to recognise a supplier as qualified, or removes a supplier from a multi-use list, 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.
      Article 19.9
      Technical specifications and tender documentation
      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, if appropriate:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  set out the technical specification in terms of performance and functional requirements, rather than design or descriptive characteristics; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  base the technical specification on international standards, if they exist; otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognised national standards or building codes.
               
            3.   If design or descriptive characteristics are used in the technical specifications, a procuring entity should indicate, if appropriate, that it will consider tenders of equivalent goods or services that demonstrably fulfil the requirements of the procurement by including words such 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, a Party, including its procuring entities, may prepare, adopt or apply technical specifications to promote the conservation of natural resources or protect the environment, provided that it does so in accordance with this Article.
      7.   A procuring entity shall make available 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:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the procurement, including the nature and the quantity of the goods or services to be procured or, if the quantity is not known, the estimated quantity and any requirements to be fulfilled, including any technical specifications, conformity assessment certification, plans, drawings or instructional materials;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  any conditions for participation of suppliers, including a list of information and documents that suppliers are required to submit in connection with the conditions for participation;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  all evaluation criteria the entity will apply in the awarding of the contract, and, unless price is the sole criterion, the relative importance of that criteria;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  if the procuring entity will conduct the procurement by electronic means, any authentication and encryption requirements or other requirements related to the submission of information by electronic means;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  if the procuring entity will hold an electronic auction, the rules, including identification of the elements of the tender related to the evaluation criteria, on which the auction will be conducted;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  if there will be a public opening of tenders, the date, time and place for the opening and, if appropriate, the persons authorised to be present;
               
            
                  (g)
               
               
                  any other terms or conditions, including terms of payment and any limitation on the means by which tenders may be submitted, such as whether on paper or by electronic means; and
               
            
                  (h)
               
               
                  any dates for the delivery of goods or the supply of services.
               
            8.   In establishing any date for the delivery of goods or the supply of services being procured, a procuring entity shall take into account such factors as the complexity of the procurement, the extent of subcontracting anticipated and the realistic time required for production, de-stocking and transport of goods from the point of supply or for supply of services.
      9.   The evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation may include, among others, price and other cost factors, quality, technical merit, environmental characteristics and terms of delivery.
      10.   A procuring entity shall promptly:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  make available tender documentation to ensure that interested suppliers have sufficient time to submit responsive tenders;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  provide, on request, the tender documentation to any interested supplier; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  reply to any reasonable request for relevant information by any interested or participating supplier, provided that such information does not give that supplier an advantage over other suppliers.
               
            11.   If, prior to the award of a contract, a procuring entity modifies the criteria or requirements set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation provided to participating suppliers, or amends or reissues a notice or tender documentation, it shall transmit in writing all such modifications or amended or re-issued notice or tender documentation:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  to all suppliers that are participating at the time of the modification, amendment or re-issuance, if such suppliers are known to the entity, and in all other cases, in the same manner as the original information was made available; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in adequate time to allow such suppliers to modify and re-submit amended tenders, as appropriate.
               
            Article 19.10
      Time-periods
      1.   A procuring entity shall, consistent with its own reasonable needs, provide sufficient time for suppliers to prepare and submit requests for participation and responsive tenders, taking into account such factors as:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the nature and complexity of the procurement;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the extent of subcontracting anticipated; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the time necessary for transmitting tenders by non-electronic means from foreign as well as domestic points if electronic means are not used.
               
            These time-periods, including any extension of the time-periods, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers.
      2.   A procuring entity that uses selective tendering shall establish that the final date for the submission of requests for participation shall not, in principle, be less than 25 days from the date of publication of the notice of intended procurement. If a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders this time-period impracticable, the time-period may be reduced to not less than 10 days.
      3.   Except as provided for in paragraphs 4, 5, 7 and 8, a procuring entity shall establish that the final date for the submission of tenders shall not be less than 40 days from the date on which:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in the case of open tendering, the notice of intended procurement is published; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in the case of selective tendering, the entity notifies suppliers that they will be invited to submit tenders, whether or not it uses a multi-use list.
               
            4.   A procuring entity may reduce the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 10 days if:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the procuring entity has published a notice of planned procurement as described in Article 19.6.5 at least 40 days and not more than 12 months in advance of the publication of the notice of intended procurement, and the notice of planned procurement contains:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              a description of the procurement;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              the approximate final dates for the submission of tenders or requests for participation;
                           
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              a statement that interested suppliers should express their interest in the procurement to the procuring entity;
                           
                        
                              (iv)
                           
                           
                              the address from which documents relating to the procurement may be obtained; and
                           
                        
                              (v)
                           
                           
                              as much of the information that is required for the notice of intended procurement under Article 19.6.3, as is available;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the procuring entity, for contracts of a recurring nature, indicates in an initial notice of intended procurement that subsequent notices will provide time-periods for tendering based on this paragraph; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 impracticable.
               
            5.   A procuring entity may reduce the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 by five days for each one of the following circumstances:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the notice of intended procurement is published by electronic means;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  all the tender documentation is made available by electronic means from the date of the publication of the notice of intended procurement; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the entity accepts tenders by electronic means.
               
            6.   The use of paragraph 5, in conjunction with paragraph 4, shall in no case result in the reduction of the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to less than 10 days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published.
      7.   Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, if a procuring entity purchases commercial goods or services, or any combination thereof, it may reduce the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 13 days, provided that it publishes by electronic means, at the same time, both the notice of intended procurement and the tender documentation. In addition, if the entity accepts tenders for commercial goods or services by electronic means, it may reduce the time-period established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 10 days.
      8.   If a procuring entity covered under Annexes 19-2 or 19-3 has selected all or a limited number of qualified suppliers, the time-period for tendering may be fixed by mutual agreement between the procuring entity and the selected suppliers. In the absence of agreement, the period shall not be less than 10 days.
      Article 19.11
      Negotiation
      1.   A Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct negotiations with suppliers:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if the entity has indicated its intent to conduct negotiations in the notice of intended procurement required under Article 19.6.3; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if it appears from the evaluation that no tender is obviously the most advantageous in terms of the specific evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement 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 notice of intended procurement or tender documentation; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if negotiations are concluded, provide a common deadline for the remaining participating suppliers to submit any new or revised tenders.
               
            Article 19.12
      Limited tendering
      1.   Provided that it does not use this provision for the purpose of avoiding competition among suppliers or in a manner that discriminates against suppliers of the other Party or protects domestic suppliers, a procuring entity may use limited tendering and may choose not to apply Articles 19.6 through 19.8, paragraphs 7 through 11 of Article 19.9, and Articles 19.10, 19.11, 19.13 and 19.14 under any of the following circumstances:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if:
                  
                              (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 not substantially modified;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute goods or services exist for any of the following reasons:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the requirement is for a work of art;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights; or
                           
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              due to an absence of competition for technical reasons;
                           
                        
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  for additional deliveries by the original supplier of goods or services that were not included in the initial procurement if a change of supplier for such additional goods or services:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability 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)
               
               
                  only when strictly necessary if, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the procuring entity, the goods or services could not be obtained in time using open tendering or selective tendering;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  for goods purchased on a commodity market;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  if 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. Original development of a first good or service may include limited production or supply in order to incorporate the results of field testing and to demonstrate that the good or service is suitable for production or supply in quantity to acceptable quality standards, but does not include quantity production or supply to establish commercial viability or to recover research and development costs;
               
            
                  (g)
               
               
                  for purchases made under exceptionally advantageous conditions that only arise in the very short term in the case of unusual disposals such as those arising from liquidation, receivership or bankruptcy, but not for routine purchases from regular suppliers; or
               
            
                  (h)
               
               
                  if a contract is awarded to a winner of a design contest provided that:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the contest has been organised in a manner that is consistent with the principles of this Chapter, in particular relating to the publication of a notice of intended procurement; and
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              the participants are judged by an independent jury with a view to a design contract being awarded to a winner.
                           
                        
            2.   A procuring entity shall prepare a report in writing on each contract awarded under paragraph 1. The report shall include the name of the procuring entity, the value and kind of goods or services procured and a statement indicating the circumstances and conditions described in paragraph 1 that justified the use of limited tendering.
      Article 19.13
      Electronic auctions
      If 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 if the contract is to be awarded on the basis of the most advantageous tender; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  any other relevant information relating to the conduct of the auction.
               
            Article 19.14
      Treatment of tenders and awarding 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.   A procuring entity shall not penalise any supplier whose tender is received after the time specified for receiving tenders if the delay is due solely to mishandling on the part of the procuring entity.
      3.   If a procuring entity provides a supplier with an opportunity to correct unintentional errors of form between the opening of tenders and the awarding of the contract, the procuring entity shall provide the same opportunity to all participating suppliers.
      4.   To be considered for an award, a tender shall be submitted in writing and shall, at the time of opening, comply with the essential requirements set out in the notices and tender documentation and be from a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation.
      5.   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:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the most advantageous tender; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if price is the sole criterion, the lowest price.
               
            6.   If 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.
      7.   A procuring entity shall not use options, cancel a procurement or modify awarded contracts in a manner that circumvents the obligations under this Chapter.
      Article 19.15
      Transparency of procurement information
      1.   A procuring entity shall promptly inform participating suppliers of the entity's contract award decisions and, on the request of a supplier, shall do so in writing. Subject to Articles 19.6.2 and 19.6.3, a procuring entity shall, on 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.   Not later than 72 days after the award of each contract covered by this Chapter, a procuring entity shall publish a notice in the appropriate paper or electronic medium listed in Annex 19-8. If the entity publishes the notice only in an electronic medium, the information shall remain readily accessible for a reasonable period of time. The notice shall include at least the following information:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a description of the goods or services procured;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the name and address of the procuring entity;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the name and address of the successful supplier;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the value of the successful tender or the highest and lowest offers taken into account in the award of the contract;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  the date of award; and
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  the type of procurement method used, and in cases where limited tendering was used in accordance with Article 19.12, a description of the circumstances justifying the use of limited tendering.
               
            3.   Each procuring entity shall, for a period of at least three years from the date it awards a contract, maintain:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the documentation and reports of tendering procedures and contract awards relating to covered procurement, including the reports required under Article 19.12; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  data that ensure the appropriate traceability of the conduct of covered procurement by electronic means.
               
            4.   Each Party shall collect and report to the Committee on Government Procurement statistics on its contracts covered by this Chapter. Each report shall cover one year and be submitted within two years of the end of the reporting period, and shall contain:

                              (ii)

      Article 19.16
      Disclosure of information
      1.   On request of the other Party, a Party shall provide promptly any information necessary to determine whether a procurement was conducted fairly, impartially and in accordance with this Chapter, including information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender. In cases where release of the information would prejudice competition in future tenders, the Party that receives the information shall not disclose it to any supplier, except after consulting with, and obtaining the consent of, the Party that provided the information.
      2.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any particular supplier information that might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.
      3.   Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to require a Party, including its procuring entities, authorities and review bodies, to disclose confidential information if disclosure:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  would impede law enforcement;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  might prejudice fair competition between suppliers;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular persons, including the protection of intellectual property; or
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  would otherwise be contrary to the public interest.
               
            Article 19.17
      Domestic review procedures
      1.   Each Party shall provide a timely, effective, transparent and non-discriminatory administrative or judicial review procedure through which a supplier may challenge:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a breach of the Chapter; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if the supplier does not have a right to challenge directly a breach of the Chapter under the domestic law of a Party, a failure to comply with a Party's measures implementing this Chapter,
               
            arising 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.   In the event of a complaint by a supplier, arising in the context of covered procurement in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest, that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1, the Party of the procuring entity conducting the procurement shall encourage the entity and the supplier to seek resolution of the complaint through consultations. The 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 its 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 10 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.   If 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.
      6.   Each Party shall ensure that a review body that is not a court shall have its decision subject to judicial review or have procedures that provide that:
      
                  (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 (‘participants’) shall have the right to be heard prior to a decision of the review body being made on the challenge;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the participants shall have the right to be represented and accompanied;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the participants shall have access to all proceedings;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  the participants shall have the right to request that the proceedings take place in public and that witnesses may be presented; and
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  the review body shall make its decisions or recommendations in a timely fashion, in writing, and shall include an explanation of the basis for each decision or recommendation.
               
            7.   Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  rapid 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, which may be limited to either the costs for the preparation of the tender or the costs relating to the challenge, or both, if a review body determines that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1.
               
            8.   Not later than ten years after the entry into force of this Agreement, the Parties will take up negotiations to further develop the quality of remedies, including a possible commitment to introduce or maintain pre-contractual remedies.
      Article 19.18
      Modifications and rectifications to coverage
      1.   A Party may modify or rectify its Annexes to this Chapter.
      2.   When a Party modifies an Annex to this Chapter, the Party shall:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  notify the other Party 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.
               
            3.   Notwithstanding subparagraph 2(b), a Party need not provide compensatory adjustments if:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the modification in question is negligible in its effect; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the modification covers an entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence.
               
            4.   If the other Party disputes that:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an adjustment proposed under subparagraph 2(b) is adequate to maintain a comparable level of mutually agreed coverage;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the modification is negligible in its effect; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the modification covers an entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence under subparagraph 3(b),
               
            it must object in writing within 45 days of receipt of the notification referred to in subparagraph 2(a) or be deemed to have accepted the adjustment or modification, including for the purposes of Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement).
      5.   The following changes to a Party's Annexes shall be considered a rectification, provided that they do not affect the mutually agreed coverage provided for in this Agreement:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a change in the name of an entity;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  a merger of two or more entities listed within an Annex; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the separation of an entity listed in an Annex into two or more entities that are all added to the entities listed in the same Annex.
               
            6.   In the case of proposed rectifications to a Party's Annexes, the Party shall notify the other Party every two years, in line with the cycle of notifications provided for under the Agreement on Government Procurement, contained in Annex 4 of the WTO Agreement, following the entry into force of this Agreement.
      7.   A Party may notify the other Party of an objection to a proposed rectification within 45 days from having received the notification. If a Party submits an objection, it shall set out the reasons why it believes the proposed rectification is not a change provided for in paragraph 5 of this Article, and describe the effect of the proposed rectification on the mutually agreed coverage provided for in the Agreement. If no such objection is submitted in writing within 45 days after having received the notification, the Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the proposed rectification.
      Article 19.19
      Committee on Government Procurement
      1.   The Committee on Government Procurement, established under Article 26.2.1(e), is to be composed of representatives from each Party and shall meet, as necessary, for the purpose of providing the Parties the opportunity to consult on any matters relating to the operation of this Chapter or the furtherance of its objectives, and to carry out other responsibilities as may be assigned to it by the Parties.
      2.   The Committee on Government Procurement shall meet, upon request of a Party, to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  consider issues regarding public procurement that are referred to it by a Party;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  exchange information relating to the public procurement opportunities in each Party;

                  (d)
               
               
                  consider the promotion of coordinated activities to facilitate access for suppliers to procurement opportunities in the territory of each Party. These activities may include information sessions, in particular with a view to improving electronic access to publicly-available information on each Party's procurement regime, and initiatives to facilitate access for small and medium-sized enterprises.
               
            3.   Each Party shall submit statistics relevant to the procurement covered by this Chapter, as set out in Article 19.15, annually to the Committee on Government Procurement.

      1.   Each Party shall provide performers the exclusive right to authorise or prohibit the broadcasting by wireless means and the communication to the public of their performances, except where the performance is itself already a broadcast performance or is made from a fixation.
      2.   Each Party shall ensure that a single equitable remuneration is paid by the user if a phonogram published for commercial purposes, or a reproduction of such phonogram, is used for broadcasting by wireless means or for any communication to the public, and shall ensure that this remuneration is shared between the relevant performers and phonogram producers. Each Party may, in the absence of an agreement between the performers and producers of phonograms, lay down the conditions as to the sharing of this remuneration between them.
      Article 20.9
      Protection of technological measures
      1.   For the purposes of this Article, technological measures means any technology, device, or component that, in the normal course of its operation, is designed to prevent or restrict acts, in respect of works, performances, or phonograms, that are not authorised by authors, performers or producers of phonograms, as provided for by the law of a Party. Without prejudice to the scope of copyright or related rights contained in the law of a Party, technological measures shall be deemed effective where the use of protected works, performances, or phonograms is controlled by authors, performers or producers of phonograms through the application of a relevant access control or protection process, such as encryption or scrambling, or a copy control mechanism, that achieves the objective of protection.
      2.   Each Party shall provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of effective technological measures that are used by authors, performers or producers of phonograms in connection with the exercise of their rights in, and that restrict acts in respect of, their works, performances, and phonograms, which are not authorised by the authors, the performers or the producers of phonograms concerned or permitted by law.
      3.   In order to provide the adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies referred to in paragraph 2, each Party shall provide protection against at least:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  to the extent provided by its law:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              the unauthorised circumvention of an effective technological measure carried out knowingly or with reasonable grounds to know; and
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              the offering to the public by marketing of a device or product, including computer programs, or a service, as a means of circumventing an effective technological measure; and
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a device or product, including computer programs, or provision of a service that:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing an effective technological measure; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              has only a limited commercially significant purpose other than circumventing an effective technological measure.
                           
                        
            4.   Under paragraph 3, the term ‘to the extent provided by its law’ means that each Party has flexibility in implementing subparagraphs (a)(i) and (ii).
      5.   In implementing paragraphs 2 and 3, a Party shall not be obliged to require that the design of, or the design and selection of parts and components for, a consumer electronics, telecommunications, or computing product provide for a response to any particular technological measure, so long as the product does not otherwise contravene that Party's measures implementing these paragraphs. The intention of this provision is that this Agreement does not require a Party to mandate interoperability in its law: there is no obligation for the information communication technology industry to design devices, products, components, or services to correspond to certain technological measures.
      6.   In providing adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies pursuant to paragraph 2, a Party may adopt or maintain appropriate limitations or exceptions to measures implementing the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3. The obligations set forth in paragraphs 2 and 3 are without prejudice to the rights, limitations, exceptions, or defences to copyright or related rights infringement under the law of a Party.
      Article 20.10
      Protection of rights management information
      1.   For the purposes of this Article, rights management information means:
      
                  (a)

                  (b)
               
               
                  information about the terms and conditions of use of the work, performance, or phonogram; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  any numbers or codes that represent the information described in (a) and (b) above;
               
            when any of these items of information is attached to a copy of a work, performance, or phonogram, or appears in connection with the communication or making available of a work, performance, or phonogram to the public.
      2.   To protect electronic rights management information, each Party shall provide adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies against any person knowingly performing, without authority, any of the following acts knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know, that it will induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal an infringement of any copyright or related rights:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  to remove or alter any electronic rights management information; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  to distribute, import for distribution, broadcast, communicate, or make available to the public copies of works, performances, or phonograms, knowing that electronic rights management information has been removed or altered without authority.
               
            3.   In providing adequate legal protection and effective legal remedies pursuant to paragraph 2, a Party may adopt or maintain appropriate limitations or exceptions to measures implementing paragraph 2. The obligations set forth in paragraph 2 are without prejudice to the rights, limitations, exceptions, or defences to copyright or related rights infringement under the law of a Party.
      Article 20.11
      Liability of intermediary service providers

      2.   The limitations or exceptions referred to in paragraph 1:
      
                  (a)

                              hosting of the information at the request of a user of the hosting services;
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              caching carried out through an automated process, when the service provider:
                              
                                          (A)
                                       
                                       
                                          does not modify the information other than for technical reasons;
                                       
                                    
                                          (B)
                                       
                                       
                                          ensures that any directions related to the caching of the information that are specified in a manner widely recognised and used by industry are complied with; and
                                       
                                    
                                          (C)
                                       
                                       
                                          does not interfere with the use of technology that is lawful and widely recognised and used by the industry in order to obtain data on the use of the information; and
                                       
                                    
                        
                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              mere conduit, which consists of the provision of the means to transmit information provided by a user, or the means of access to a communication network; and

            3.   The eligibility for the limitations or exceptions referred to in this Article may not be conditioned on the service provider monitoring its service, or affirmatively seeking facts indicating infringing activity.
      4.   Each Party may prescribe in its domestic law, conditions for service providers to qualify for the limitations or exceptions in this Article. Without prejudice to the above, each Party may establish appropriate procedures for effective notifications of claimed infringement, and effective counter-notifications by those whose material is removed or disabled through mistake or misidentification.
      5.   This Article is without prejudice to the availability in the law of a Party of other defences, limitations and exceptions to the infringement of copyright or related rights. This Article shall not affect the possibility of a court or administrative authority, in accordance with the legal system of a Party, of requiring the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.
      Article 20.12
      Camcording
      Each Party may provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied in accordance with its laws and regulations against a person who, without authorisation of the theatre manager or the holder of the copyright in a cinematographic work, makes a copy of that work or any part thereof, from a performance of the work in a motion picture exhibition facility open to the public.

      Protection for geographical indications listed in Annex 20-A
      1.   Having examined the geographical indications of the other Party, each Party shall protect them according to the level of protection set out in this Sub-section.
      2.   Each Party shall provide the legal means for interested parties to prevent:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the use of a geographical indication of the other Party listed in Annex 20-A for a product that falls within the product class specified in Annex 20-A for that geographical indication and that either:
                  
                              (i)

                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              does originate in the place of origin specified in Annex 20-A for that geographical indication but was not produced or manufactured in accordance with the laws and regulations of the other Party that would apply if the product were for consumption in the other Party;
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  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; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  any other use which constitutes an act of unfair competition within the meaning of Article 10bis of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1967) done at Stockholm on 14 July 1967.
               
            3.   The protection referred to in subparagraph 2(a) shall be provided even where the true origin of the product is indicated or the geographical indication is used in translation or accompanied by expressions such as ‘kind’, ‘type’, ‘style’, ‘imitation’ or the like.

      5.   In accordance with paragraph 4, each Party will provide for administrative action in respect of complaints related to the labelling of products, including their presentation, in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression regarding their origin.
      6.   The registration of a trademark which contains or consists of a geographical indication of the other Party listed in Annex 20-A shall be refused or invalidated, ex officio if a Party's legislation so permits or at the request of an interested party, with respect to a product that falls within the product class specified in Annex 20-A for that geographical indication and that does not originate in the place of origin specified in Annex 20-A for that geographical indication.
      7.   There shall be no obligation under this Sub-section to protect geographical indications which are not or cease to be protected in their place of origin, or which have fallen into disuse in that place.

      Homonymous geographical indications
      1.   In the case of homonymous geographical indications of the Parties for products falling within the same product class, each Party shall determine the practical conditions under which the homonymous indications in question will be differentiated from each other, taking into account the need to ensure equitable treatment of the producers concerned and that consumers are not misled.
      2.   If a Party, in the context of negotiations with a third country, proposes to protect a geographical indication identifying a product originating in the third country, if that indication is homonymous with a geographical indication of the other Party listed in Annex 20-A and if that product falls within the product class specified in Annex 20-A for the homonymous geographical indication of the other Party, the other Party shall be informed and be given the opportunity to comment before the geographical indication becomes protected.

A transitional period of five years from the entry into force of this Article, during which the use of the above indication shall not be prevented, shall apply to any other persons, including their successors and assignees, who made commercial use of those indications with regard to products in the class of ‘fresh, frozen and processed meats’, for less than five years preceding the date of 18 October 2013.
      4.   Notwithstanding Articles 20.19.2 and 20.19.3, the protection of the geographical indications listed in Part A of Annex 20-A and identified by three asterisks shall not prevent the use of those indications by any persons, including their successors and assignees, who made commercial use of those indications with regard to products in the classes of ‘dry-cured meats’ and ‘cheeses’, respectively, for at least ten years preceding the date of 18 October 2013. A transitional period of five years from the entry into force of this Article, during which the use of the above indications shall not be prevented, shall apply to any other persons, including their successors and assignees, who made commercial use of those indications with regard to products in the class of ‘dry-cured meats’ and ‘cheeses’, respectively, for less than ten years preceding the date of 18 October 2013.
      5.   If a trademark has been applied for or registered in good faith, or if rights to a trademark have been acquired through use in good faith, in a Party before the applicable date set out in paragraph 6, measures adopted to implement this Sub-section in that Party shall not prejudice the eligibility for or the validity of the registration of the trademark, or the right to use the trademark, on the basis that the trademark is identical with, or similar to, a geographical indication.
      6.   For the purposes of paragraph 5 the applicable date is:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in respect of a geographical indication listed in Annex 20-A on the date of signing of this Agreement, the date of coming into force of this Sub-section; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in respect of a geographical indication added to Annex 20-A after the date of signing of this Agreement pursuant to Article 20.22, the date on which the geographical indication is added.
               
            7.   If a translation of a geographical indication is identical with or contains within it a term customary in common language as the common name for a product in the territory of a Party, or if a geographical indication is not identical with but contains within it such a term, the provisions of this Sub-section shall not prejudice the right of any person to use that term in association with that product in the territory of that Party.
      8.   Nothing shall prevent the use in the territory of a Party, with respect to any product, of a customary name of a plant variety or an animal breed, existing in the territory of that Party as of the date of entry into force of this Sub-section.
      9.   A Party may provide that any request made under this Sub-section in connection with the use or registration of a trademark must be presented within five years after the adverse use of the protected indication has become generally known in that Party or after the date of registration of the trademark in that Party provided that the trademark has been published by that date, if such date is earlier than the date on which the adverse use became generally known in that Party, provided that the geographical indication is not used or registered in bad faith.
      10.   The provisions of this Sub-section shall not prejudice the right of any person to use, in the course of trade, that person's name or the name of that person's predecessor in business, except where such name is used in such a manner as to mislead the public.
      
                  11.
               
               
                  
                              (a)
                           
                           
                              The provisions of this Sub-section shall not prejudice the right of any person to use, or to register in Canada a trademark containing or consisting of, any of the terms listed in Part A of Annex 20-B; and
                           
                        
                              (b)
                           
                           
                              Subparagraph (a) does not apply to the terms listed in Part A of Annex 20-B in respect of any use that would mislead the public as to the geographical origin of the goods.
                           
                        
            12.   The use in Canada of the terms listed in Part B of Annex 20-B shall not be subject to the provisions of this Sub-section.
      13.   An assignment as referred to in paragraphs 2 through 4 does not include the transfer of the right to use a geographical indication on its own.
      Article 20.22
      Amendments to Annex 20-A
      1.   The CETA Joint Committee, established under Article 26.1 (The CETA Joint Committee), acting by consensus and on a recommendation by the CETA Committee on Geographical Indications, may decide to amend Annex 20-A by adding geographical indications or by removing geographical indications which have ceased to be protected or have fallen into disuse in their place of origin.
      2.   A geographical indication shall not in principle be added to Part A of Annex 20-A, if it is a name that on the date of the signing of this Agreement is listed in the relevant Register of the European Union with a status of ‘Registered’, in respect of a Member State of the European Union.
      3.   A geographical indication identifying a product originating in a particular Party shall not be added to Annex 20-A:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if it is identical to a trademark that has been registered in the other Party in respect of the same or similar products, or to a trademark in respect of which in the other Party rights have been acquired through use in good faith and an application has been filed in respect of the same or similar products;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if it is identical to the customary name of a plant variety or an animal breed existing in the other Party; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  if it is identical with the term customary in common language as the common name for such product in the other Party.
               
            Article 20.23
      Other protection
      The provisions of this Sub-section are without prejudice to the right to seek recognition and protection of a geographical indication under the relevant law of a Party.

      Relationship to copyright
      The subject matter of a design right may be protected under copyright law if the conditions for this protection are met. The extent to which, and the conditions under which, such a protection is conferred, including the level of originality required, shall be determined by each Party.

      Each Party shall make all reasonable efforts to comply with Articles 1 through 14 and Article 22 of the Patent Law Treaty, done at Geneva on 1 June 2000.
      Article 20.27
      
         Sui generis protection for pharmaceuticals
      1.   For the purposes of this Article:
      
                   
               
               
                  
                     basic patent means a patent which protects a product as such, a process to obtain a product or an application of a product, and which has been designated by the holder of a patent that may serve as a basic patent, as the basic patent for the purpose of the granting of sui generis protection; and
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     product means the active ingredient or combination of active ingredients of a pharmaceutical product.
               
            2.   Each Party shall provide a period of sui generis protection in respect of a product that is protected by a basic patent in force at the request of the holder of the patent or his successor in title, provided the following conditions have been met:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  an authorisation has been granted to place the product on the market of that Party as a pharmaceutical product (referred to as ‘marketing authorisation’ in this Article);
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the product has not already been the subject of a period of sui generis protection; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the marketing authorisation referred to in subparagraph (a) is the first authorisation to place the product on the market of that Party as a pharmaceutical product.
               
            3.   Each Party may:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  provide a period of sui generis protection only if the first application for the marketing authorisation is submitted within a reasonable time limit prescribed by that Party; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  prescribe a time limit of no less than 60 days from the date on which the first marketing authorisation was granted for the submission of the request for the period of sui generis protection. However, where the first marketing authorisation is granted before the patent is granted, each Party will provide a period of at least 60 days from the grant of the patent during which the request for a period of protection under this Article may be submitted.
               
            4.   In the case where a product is protected by one basic patent, the period of sui generis protection shall take effect at the end of the lawful term of that patent.
      In the case where a product is protected by more than one patent that may serve as a basic patent, a Party may provide for only a single period of sui generis protection, which takes effect at the end of the lawful term of the basic patent,
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in the case where all the patents that may serve as a basic patent are held by the same person, selected by the person requesting the period of sui generis protection; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in the case where the patents that may serve as a basic patent are not held by the same person and this gives rise to conflicting requests for the sui generis protection, selected by agreement between the patent holders.
               
            5.   Each Party shall provide that the period of sui generis protection be for a period equal to the period which elapsed between the date on which the application for the basic patent was filed and the date of the first marketing authorisation, reduced by a period of five years.
      6.   Notwithstanding paragraph 5 and without prejudice to a possible extension of the period of sui generis protection by a Party as an incentive or a reward for research in certain target populations, such as children, the duration of the sui generis protection may not exceed a period of two to five years, to be established by each Party.
      7.   Each Party may provide that the period of sui generis protection shall lapse:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  if the sui generis protection is surrendered by the beneficiary; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  if any prescribed administrative fees are not paid.
               
            Each Party may reduce the period of sui generis protection commensurate with any unjustified delays resulting from the inactions of the applicant after applying for the market authorisation, when the holder of the basic patent is the applicant for market authorisation or an entity related to it.
      8.   Within the limits of the protection conferred by the basic patent, the sui generis protection shall extend only to the pharmaceutical product covered by the marketing authorisation and for any use of that product as a pharmaceutical product that has been authorised before the expiry of the sui generis protection. Subject to the preceding sentence, the sui generis protection shall confer the same rights as conferred by the patent and shall be subject to the same limitations and obligations.
      9.   Notwithstanding paragraphs 1 through 8, each Party may also limit the scope of the protection by providing exceptions for the making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing of products for the purpose of export during the period of protection.
      10.   Each Party may revoke the sui generis protection on grounds relating to invalidity of the basic patent, including if that patent has lapsed before its lawful term expires or is revoked or limited to the extent that the product for which the protection was granted would no longer be protected by the claims of the basic patent, or on grounds relating to the withdrawal of the marketing authorisation or authorisations for the respective market, or if the protection was granted contrary to the provisions of paragraph 2.
      Article 20.28
      Patent linkage mechanisms relating to pharmaceutical products
      If a Party relies on ‘patent linkage’ mechanisms whereby the granting of marketing authorisations (or notices of compliance or similar concepts) for generic pharmaceutical products is linked to the existence of patent protection, it shall ensure that all litigants are afforded equivalent and effective rights of appeal.
      Sub-section F
      Data Protection
      Article 20.29
      Protection of undisclosed data related to pharmaceutical products
      1.   If a Party requires, as a condition for authorising the marketing of pharmaceutical products that utilise new chemical entities (30) (referred to as ‘authorisation’ in this Article) the submission of undisclosed test or other data necessary to determine whether the use of those products is safe and effective, the Party shall protect such data against disclosure, if the origination of such data involves considerable effort, except where the disclosure is necessary to protect the public or unless steps are taken to ensure that the data are protected against unfair commercial use.
      2.   Each Party shall provide that for data subject to paragraph 1 that are submitted to the Party after the date of entry into force of this Agreement:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  no person other than the person who submitted them may, without the latter's permission, rely on such data in support of an application for an authorisation during a period of not less than six years from the date on which the Party granted authorisation to the person that produced the data for authorisation; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  a Party shall not grant an authorisation to any person who relies on such data during a period of not less than eight years from the date on which the Party granted the authorisation to the person that produced the data for the authorisation, unless the person that produced these data provides permission.
               
            Subject to this paragraph, there shall be no limitation on either Party to implement abbreviated authorisation procedures for such products on the basis of bioequivalence and bioavailability studies.
      Article 20.30
      Protection of data related to plant protection products
      1.   Each Party shall determine safety and efficacy requirements before authorising the placing on the market of a plant protection product (referred to as ‘authorisation’ in this Article).
      2.   Each Party shall provide a limited period of data protection for a test or study report submitted for the first time to obtain an authorisation. During such period, each Party shall provide that the test or study report will not be used for the benefit of any other person aiming to obtain an authorisation, except when the explicit consent of the first authorisation holder is proved.
      3.   The test or study report should be necessary for the authorisation or for an amendment of an authorisation in order to allow the use on other crops.
      4.   In each Party, the period of data protection shall be at least ten years starting at the date of the first authorisation in that Party with respect to the test or study report supporting the authorisation of a new active ingredient and data supporting the concurrent registration of the end-use product containing the active ingredient. The duration of protection may be extended in order to encourage the authorisation of low-risk plant protection products and minor uses.
      5.   Each Party may also establish data protection requirements or financial compensation requirements for the test or study report supporting the amendment or renewal of an authorisation.
      6.   Each Party shall establish rules to avoid duplicative testing on vertebrate animals. Any applicant intending to perform tests and studies involving vertebrate animals should be encouraged to take the necessary measures to verify that those tests and studies have not already been performed or initiated.
      7.   Each Party should encourage each new applicant and each holder of the relevant authorisations to make every effort to ensure that they share tests and studies involving vertebrate animals. The costs of sharing such test and study reports shall be determined in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory way. An applicant is only required to share in the costs of information that the applicant is required to submit to meet the authorisation requirements.
      8.   The holder or holders of the relevant authorisation shall have a right to be compensated for a fair share of the costs incurred by them in respect of the test or study report that supported such authorisation by an applicant relying on such test and study reports to obtain an authorisation for a new plant protection product. Each Party may direct the parties involved to resolve any issue by binding arbitration administered under its law.
      Sub-section G
      Plant Varieties
      Article 20.31
      Plant varieties
      Each Party shall co-operate to promote and reinforce the protection of plant varieties on the basis of the 1991 Act of the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, done at Paris on 2 December 1961.
      
         Section C
      
      
         
            Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights
         
      
      Article 20.32
      General obligations
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that procedures for the enforcement of intellectual property rights are fair and equitable, and are not unnecessarily complicated or costly, nor entail unreasonable time-limits or unwarranted delays. These procedures 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.
      2.   In implementing the provisions of this Section, each Party shall take into account the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement, the interests of third parties, and the applicable measures, remedies and penalties.
      3.   Articles 20.33 through 20.42 relate to civil enforcement.
      4.   For the purposes of Articles 20.33 through 20.42, unless otherwise provided, intellectual property rights means all categories of intellectual property that are the subject of Sections 1 through 7 of Part II of the TRIPS Agreement.
      Article 20.33
      Entitled applicants
      Each Party shall recognise as persons entitled to seek application of the procedures and remedies referred to in Articles 20.34 through 20.42:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the holders of intellectual property rights in accordance with the provisions of its law;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  all other persons authorised to use those rights, if those persons are entitled to seek relief in accordance with its law;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  intellectual property collective rights management bodies that are regularly recognised as having a right to represent holders of intellectual property rights, if those bodies are entitled to seek relief in accordance with its law; and
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  professional defence bodies that are regularly recognised as having a right to represent holders of intellectual property rights, if those bodies are entitled to seek relief in accordance with its law.
               
            Article 20.34
      Evidence
      Each Party shall ensure that, in the case of an alleged infringement of an intellectual property right committed on a commercial scale, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order, if appropriate and following an application, the production of relevant information, as provided for in its law, including banking, financial or commercial documents under the control of the opposing party, subject to the protection of confidential information.
      Article 20.35
      Measures for preserving evidence
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that, even before the commencement of proceedings on the merits of the case, the judicial authorities may, on application by an entity that has presented reasonably available evidence to support its claims that its intellectual property right has been infringed or is about to be infringed, order prompt and effective provisional measures to preserve relevant evidence in respect of the alleged infringement, subject to the protection of confidential information.
      2.   Each Party may provide that the measures referred to in paragraph 1 include the detailed description, with or without the taking of samples, or the physical seizure of the alleged infringing goods, and, in appropriate cases, the materials and implements used in the production or distribution of these goods and the documents relating thereto. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to take those measures, 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 20.36
      Right of information
      Without prejudice to its law governing privilege, the protection of confidentiality of information sources or the processing of personal data, each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities shall have the authority, upon a justified request of the right holder, to order the infringer or the alleged infringer, to provide to the right holder or to the judicial authorities, at least for the purpose of collecting evidence, relevant information as provided for in its applicable laws and regulations that the infringer or alleged infringer possesses or controls. This information may include information regarding any person involved in any aspect of the infringement or alleged infringement and regarding the means of production or the channels of distribution of the infringing or allegedly infringing goods or services, including the identification of third persons alleged to be involved in the production and distribution of those goods or services and of their channels of distribution.
      Article 20.37
      Provisional and precautionary measures
      1.   Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional and precautionary measures, including an interlocutory injunction, against a party, or where appropriate, against a third party over whom the relevant judicial authority exercises jurisdiction, to prevent an infringement of an intellectual property right from occurring, and in particular, to prevent infringing goods from entering into the channels of commerce.
      2.   Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to order the seizure or other taking into custody of the goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right so as to prevent their entry into or movement within the channels of commerce.
      3.   Each Party shall provide that, in the case of an alleged infringement of an intellectual property right committed on a commercial scale, the judicial authorities may order, in accordance with its law, the precautionary seizure of property of the alleged infringer, including the blocking of its bank accounts and other assets. To that end, the judicial authorities may order the communication of relevant bank, financial or commercial documents, or access to other relevant information, as appropriate.
      Article 20.38
      Other remedies
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that the judicial authorities may order, at the request of the applicant and without prejudice to any damages due to the right holder by reason of the infringement, and without compensation of any sort, the definitive removal from the channels of commerce, or the destruction, of goods that they have found to be infringing an intellectual property right. Each Party shall ensure that the judicial authorities may order, if appropriate, destruction of materials and implements predominantly used in the creation or manufacture of those goods. In considering a request for such remedies, the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement and the remedies ordered, as well as the interests of third parties, shall be taken into account.
      2.   Each Party shall ensure that the judicial authorities have the authority to order that the remedies referred to in paragraph 1 shall be carried out at the expense of the infringer, unless particular reasons are invoked for not doing so.
      Article 20.39
      Injunctions
      1.   Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities have the authority to issue an order against a party to desist from an infringement, and among other things, an order to that party, or, where appropriate, to a third party over whom the relevant judicial authority exercises jurisdiction, to prevent infringing goods from entering into the channels of commerce.
      2.   Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, a Party may limit the remedies available against use by government, or by third parties authorised by government, without the use of authorisation of the right holders to the payment of remuneration provided that the Party complies with the provisions of Part II of the TRIPS Agreement specifically addressing such use. In other cases, the remedies under this Section shall apply or, where these remedies are inconsistent with a Party's law, declaratory judgments and adequate compensation shall be available.
      Article 20.40
      Damages
      1.   Each Party shall provide that:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  in civil judicial proceedings, its judicial authorities have the authority to order the infringer who knowingly or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in infringing activity of intellectual property rights to pay the right holder:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              damages adequate to compensate for the injury the right holder has suffered as a result of the infringement; or
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              the profits of the infringer that are attributable to the infringement, which may be presumed to be the amount of damages referred to in paragraph (i); and
                           
                        
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  in determining the amount of damages for infringements of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities may consider, among other things, any legitimate measure of value that may be submitted by the right holder, including lost profits.
               
            2.   As an alternative to paragraph 1, a Party's law may provide for the payment of remuneration, such as a royalty or fee, to compensate a right holder for the unauthorised use of the right holder's intellectual property.
      Article 20.41
      Legal costs
      Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities, where appropriate, have the authority to order, at the conclusion of civil judicial proceedings concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights, that the prevailing party be awarded payment by the losing party of legal costs and other expenses, as provided for under that Party's law.
      Article 20.42
      Presumption of authorship or ownership
      1.   For the purposes of civil proceedings involving copyright or related rights, it is sufficient for the name of an author of a literary or artistic work to appear on the work in the usual manner in order for that author to be regarded as such, and consequently to be entitled to institute infringement proceedings, unless there is proof to the contrary. Proof to the contrary may include registration.
      2.   Paragraph 1 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the holders of related rights with regard to the protected subject matter of such rights.
      
         Section D

                     counterfeit geographical indication goods means any goods under Article 20.17 falling within one of the product classes listed in Annex 20-C, including packaging, bearing without authorisation, a geographical indication which is identical to the geographical indication validly registered or otherwise protected in respect of such goods and which infringes the rights of the owner or right holder of the geographical indication in question under the law of the Party in which the border measure procedures are applied;
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     counterfeit trademark goods means any goods, including packaging, bearing, without authorisation, a trademark which is identical to the trademark validly registered in respect of such goods, or which cannot be distinguished in its essential aspects from such a trademark, and which infringes the rights of the owner of the trademark in question under the law of the Party in which the border measure procedures are applied;
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     export shipments means shipments of goods which are to be taken from the territory of a Party to a place outside that territory, excluding shipments in customs transit and transhipments;
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     import shipments means shipments of goods brought into the territory of a Party from a place outside that territory, while those goods remain under customs control, including goods brought into the territory to a free zone or customs warehouse, but excludes shipments in customs transit and transhipments;
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     pirated copyright goods means any goods which are copies made without the consent of the right holder or person duly authorised by the right holder in the country of production and which are made directly or indirectly from an article where the making of that copy would have constituted an infringement of a copyright or a related right under the law of the Party in which the border measure procedures are applied;
               
            
                   
               
               
                  
                     shipments in customs transit means shipments of goods that enter the territory of a Party from a place outside that territory and are authorised by customs authorities for transport under continuous customs control from an office of entry to an office of exit, for the purpose of exiting the territory.

                     transhipments means shipments of goods that are transferred under customs control from the importing means of transport to the exporting means of transport within the area of one customs office which is the office of both importation and exportation.
               
            2.   The references to the infringement of intellectual property rights in this Section shall be interpreted as referring to instances of counterfeit trademark goods, pirated copyright goods or counterfeit geographical indication goods.
      3.   It is the understanding of the Parties that there shall be no obligation to apply the procedures set forth in this Section to goods put on the market in another country by or with the consent of the right holder.
      4.   Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures with respect to import and export shipments under which a right holder may request its competent authorities to suspend the release of, or detain, goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right.
      5.   Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures with respect to import and export shipments under which its competent authorities may act on their own initiative to temporarily suspend the release of, or detain, goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right, in order to provide an opportunity to right holders to formally request assistance under paragraph 4.
      6.   Each Party may enter into an arrangement with one or more third countries to establish common security customs clearance procedures. Goods cleared pursuant to the terms of the common customs procedures of such an arrangement shall be deemed to be in compliance with paragraphs 4 and 5, provided the Party concerned retains the legal authority to comply with these paragraphs.
      7.   Each Party may adopt or maintain the procedures referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 with respect to transhipments and shipments in customs transit.
      8.   Each Party may exclude from the application of this Article small quantities of goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travellers' personal luggage or small quantities of goods of a non-commercial nature sent in small consignments.
      Article 20.44
      Application by the right holder
      1.   Each Party shall provide that its competent authorities require a right holder who requests the procedures described in Article 20.43 to provide adequate evidence to satisfy the competent authorities that, under the law of the Party providing the procedures, there is prima facie an infringement of the right holder's intellectual property right, and to supply sufficient information that may reasonably be expected to be within the right holder's knowledge to make the suspect goods reasonably recognisable by the competent authorities. The requirement to provide sufficient information shall not unreasonably deter recourse to the procedures described in Article 20.43.
      2.   Each Party shall provide for applications to suspend the release of, or to detain, goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right listed in Article 20.43, under customs control in its territory. The requirement to provide for such applications is subject to the obligations to provide procedures referred to in Articles 20.43.4 and 20.43.5. The competent authorities may provide for such applications to apply to multiple shipments. Each Party may provide that, at the request of the right holder, the application to suspend the release of, or to detain, suspect goods may apply to selected points of entry and exit under customs control.
      3.   Each Party shall ensure that its competent authorities inform the applicant within a reasonable period whether they have accepted the application. Where its competent authorities have accepted the application, they shall also inform the applicant of the period of validity of the application.
      4.   Each Party may provide that, where the applicant has abused the procedures described in Article 20.43, or where there is due cause, its competent authorities have the authority to deny, suspend, or void an application.
      Article 20.45
      Provision of information from the right holder
      Each Party shall permit its competent authorities to request a right holder to supply relevant information that may reasonably be expected to be within the right holder's knowledge to assist the competent authorities in taking the border measures referred to in this Section. Each Party may also allow a right holder to supply such information to its competent authorities.
      Article 20.46
      Security or equivalent assurance
      1.   Each Party shall provide that its competent authorities have the authority to require a right holder who requests the procedures described in Article 20.43 to provide reasonable security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and the competent authorities and to prevent abuse. Each Party shall provide that such security or equivalent assurance shall not unreasonably deter recourse to these procedures.
      2.   Each Party may provide that such security may be in the form of a bond conditioned to hold the defendant harmless from any loss or damage resulting from any suspension of the release of, or detention of, the goods in the event the competent authorities determine that the goods are not infringing. A Party may, only in exceptional circumstances or pursuant to a judicial order, permit the defendant to obtain possession of suspect goods by posting a bond or other security.
      Article 20.47
      Determination as to infringement
      Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures by which its competent authorities may determine, within a reasonable period after the initiation of the procedures described in Article 20.43, whether the suspect goods infringe an intellectual property right.
      Article 20.48
      Remedies
      1.   Each Party shall provide that its competent authorities have the authority to order the destruction of goods following a determination referred to in Article 20.47 that the goods are infringing. In cases where such goods are not destroyed, each Party shall ensure that, except in exceptional circumstances, such goods are disposed of outside the channels of commerce, in such a manner as to avoid any harm to the right holder.
      2.   In respect of counterfeit trademark goods, the simple removal of the trademark unlawfully affixed shall not be sufficient, other than in exceptional cases, to permit release of the goods into the channels of commerce.
      3.   Each Party may provide that its competent authorities have the authority to impose administrative penalties following a determination referred to in Article 20.47 that the goods are infringing.
      Article 20.49
      Specific cooperation in the area of border measures
      1.   Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party with a view to eliminating international trade in goods infringing intellectual property rights. For this purpose, each Party shall establish contact points in its administration and be ready to exchange information on trade in infringing goods. Each Party shall, in particular, promote the exchange of information and cooperation between its customs authorities and those of the other Party with regard to trade in goods infringing intellectual property rights.
      2.   The cooperation referred to in paragraph 1 may include exchanges of information regarding mechanisms for receiving information from rights holders, best practices, and experiences with risk management strategies, as well as information to aid in the identification of shipments suspected of containing infringing goods.
      3.   The cooperation under this Section shall be conducted consistent with relevant international agreements that are binding on both Parties. The Joint Customs Cooperation Committee referred to in Article 6.14 (Joint Customs Cooperation Committee) will set the priorities and provide for the adequate procedures for cooperation under this Section between the competent authorities of the Parties.
      
         Section E
      
      
         
            Co-operation
         
      
      Article 20.50
      Co-operation
      1.   Each Party agrees to co-operate with the other Party with a view to supporting the implementation of the commitments and obligations undertaken under this Chapter. Areas of co-operation include exchanges of information or experience on the following:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, including geographical indications; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the establishment of arrangements between their respective collecting societies.
               
            2.   Pursuant to paragraph 1, each Party agrees to establish and maintain an effective dialogue on intellectual property issues to address topics relevant to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights covered by this Chapter, and any other relevant issue.
      
         CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
      
      
         
            Regulatory cooperation
         
      
      Article 21.1
      Scope
      This Chapter applies to the development, review and methodological aspects of regulatory measures of the Parties' regulatory authorities that are covered by, among others, the TBT Agreement, the SPS Agreement, the GATT 1994, the GATS, and Chapters Four (Technical Barriers to Trade), Five (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures), Nine (Cross-Border Trade in Services), Twenty-Two (Trade and Sustainable Development), Twenty-Three (Trade and Labour) and Twenty-Four (Trade and Environment).
      Article 21.2
      Principles
      1.   The Parties reaffirm their rights and obligations with respect to regulatory measures under the TBT Agreement, the SPS Agreement, the GATT 1994 and the GATS.
      2.   The Parties are committed to ensure high levels of protection for human, animal and plant life or health, and the environment in accordance with the TBT Agreement, the SPS Agreement, the GATT 1994, the GATS, and this Agreement.
      3.   The Parties recognise the value of regulatory cooperation with their relevant trading partners both bilaterally and multilaterally. The Parties will, whenever practicable and mutually beneficial, approach regulatory cooperation in a way that is open to participation by other international trading partners.
      4.   Without limiting the ability of each Party to carry out its regulatory, legislative and policy activities, the Parties are committed to further develop regulatory cooperation in light of their mutual interest in order to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  prevent and eliminate unnecessary barriers to trade and investment;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  enhance the climate for competitiveness and innovation, including by pursuing regulatory compatibility, recognition of equivalence, and convergence; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  promote transparent, efficient and effective regulatory processes that support public policy objectives and fulfil the mandates of regulatory bodies, including through the promotion of information exchange and enhanced use of best practices.
               
            5.   This Chapter replaces the Framework on Regulatory Co-operation and Transparency between the Government of Canada and the European Commission, done at Brussels on 21 December 2004, and governs the activities previously undertaken in the context of that Framework.
      6.   The Parties may undertake regulatory cooperation activities on a voluntary basis. For greater certainty, a Party is not required to enter into any particular regulatory cooperation activity, and may refuse to cooperate or may withdraw from cooperation. However, if a Party refuses to initiate regulatory cooperation or withdraws from cooperation, it should be prepared to explain the reasons for its decision to the other Party.
      Article 21.3
      Objectives of regulatory cooperation
      The objectives of regulatory cooperation include to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  contribute to the protection of human life, health or safety, animal or plant life or health and the environment by:

                              leveraging international resources in areas such as research, pre-market review and risk analysis to address important regulatory issues of local, national and international concern; and
                           
                        
                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              contributing to the base of information used by regulatory departments to identify, assess and manage risks;

                              (ii)
                           
                           
                              promote transparency and predictability in the development and establishment of regulations;
                           
                        
                              (iii)

                              (iv)
                           
                           
                              identify alternative instruments;
                           
                        
                              (v)
                           
                           
                              recognise the associated impacts of regulations;

                              (vii)
                           
                           
                              improve regulatory implementation and compliance;
                           
                        
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  facilitate bilateral trade and investment in a way that:
                  
                              (i)

                  consulting with each other, as appropriate, and exchanging information throughout the regulatory development process. This consultation and exchange should begin as early as possible in that process;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  sharing non-public information to the extent that this information may be made available to foreign governments in accordance with the applicable rules of the Party providing the information;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  sharing proposed technical or sanitary and phytosanitary regulations that may have an impact on trade with the other Party at the earliest stage possible so that comments and proposals for amendments may be taken into account;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  providing, upon request by the other Party, a copy of the proposed regulation, subject to applicable privacy law, and allow sufficient time for interested parties to provide comments in writing;

                              (iii)
                           
                           
                              considering mutual recognition in specific cases;
                           
                        
            
                  (h)

                  examining the appropriateness and the possibility of using the same or similar assumptions and methodologies that the other Party uses to analyse data and assess the underlying issues to be addressed through regulation in order to:
                  
                              (i)
                           
                           
                              reduce differences in identifying issues; and
                           
                        
                              (ii)

            Article 21.5
      Compatibility of regulatory measures
      With a view to enhancing convergence and compatibility between the regulatory measures of the Parties, each Party shall, when appropriate, consider the regulatory measures or initiatives of the other Party on the same or related topics. A Party is not prevented from adopting different regulatory measures or pursuing different initiatives for reasons including different institutional or legislative approaches, circumstances, values or priorities that are particular to that Party.
      Article 21.6
      The Regulatory Cooperation Forum
      1.   A Regulatory Cooperation Forum (‘RCF’) is established, pursuant to Article 26.2.1(h) (Specialised committees), to facilitate and promote regulatory cooperation between the Parties in accordance with this Chapter.
      2.   The RCF shall perform the following functions:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  provide a forum to discuss regulatory policy issues of mutual interest that the Parties have identified through, among others, consultations conducted in accordance with Article 21.8;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  assist individual regulators to identify potential partners for cooperation activities and provide them with appropriate tools for that purpose, such as model confidentiality agreements;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  review regulatory initiatives, whether in progress or anticipated, that a Party considers may provide potential for cooperation. The reviews, which will be carried out in consultation with regulatory departments and agencies, should support the implementation of this Chapter; and

            Article 21.7
      Further cooperation between the Parties
      1.   Pursuant to Article 21.6.2(c) and to enable monitoring of forthcoming regulatory projects and to identify opportunities for regulatory cooperation, the Parties shall periodically exchange information of ongoing or planned regulatory projects in their areas of responsibility. This information should include, if appropriate, new technical regulations and amendments to existing technical regulations that are likely to be proposed or adopted.
      2.   The Parties may facilitate regulatory cooperation through the exchange of officials pursuant to a specified arrangement.
      3.   The Parties endeavour to cooperate and to share information on a voluntary basis in the area of non-food product safety. This cooperation or exchange of information may in particular relate to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  scientific, technical, and regulatory matters, to help improve non-food product safety;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  emerging issues of significant health and safety relevance that fall within the scope of a Party's authority;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  standardisation related activities;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  market surveillance and enforcement activities;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  risk assessment methods and product testing; and
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  coordinated product recalls or other similar actions.
               
            4.   The Parties may establish reciprocal exchange of information on the safety of consumer products and on preventive, restrictive and corrective measures taken. In particular, Canada may receive access to selected information from the European Union RAPEX alert system, or its successor, with respect to consumer products as referred to in Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 December 2001 on general product safety. The European Union may receive early warning information on restrictive measures and product recalls from Canada's consumer product incident reporting system, known as RADAR, or its successor, with respect to consumer products as defined in the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, S.C. 2010, c. 21 and cosmetics as defined in the Food and Drugs Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-27. This reciprocal exchange of information shall be done on the basis of an arrangement setting out the measures referred to under paragraph 5.
      5.   Before the Parties conduct the first exchange of information provided for under paragraph 4, they shall ensure that the Committee on Trade in Goods endorse the measures to implement these exchanges. The Parties shall ensure that these measures specify the type of information to be exchanged, the modalities for the exchange and the application of confidentiality and personal data protection rules.
      6.   The Committee on Trade in Goods shall endorse the measures under paragraph 5 within one year from the date of entry into force of this Agreement unless the Parties decide to extend the date.
      7.   The Parties may modify the measures referred to in paragraph 5. The Committee on Trade in Goods shall endorse any modification to the measures.

            Trade and sustainable development
         
      
      Article 22.1
      Context and objectives
      1.   The Parties recall the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development of 1992, the Agenda 21 on Environment and Development of 1992, the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development of 2002 and the Plan of Implementation of the World Summit on Sustainable Development of 2002, the Ministerial Declaration of the United Nations Economic and Social Council on Creating an environment at the national and international levels conducive to generating full and productive employment and decent work for all, and its impact on sustainable development of 2006, and the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalisation of 2008. The Parties recognise that economic development, social development and environmental protection are interdependent and mutually reinforcing components of sustainable development, and reaffirm their commitment to promoting the development of international trade in such a way as to contribute to the objective of sustainable development, for the welfare of present and future generations.
      2.   The Parties underline the benefit of considering trade-related labour and environmental issues as part of a global approach to trade and sustainable development. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the rights and obligations under Chapters Twenty-Three (Trade and Labour) and Twenty-Four (Trade and Environment) are to be considered in the context of this Agreement.
      3.   In this regard, through the implementation of Chapters Twenty-Three (Trade and Labour) and Twenty-Four (Trade and Environment), the Parties aim to:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  promote sustainable development through the enhanced coordination and integration of their respective labour, environmental and trade policies and measures;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  promote dialogue and cooperation between the Parties with a view to developing their trade and economic relations in a manner that supports their respective labour and environmental protection measures and standards, and to upholding their environmental and labour protection objectives in a context of trade relations that are free, open and transparent;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  enhance enforcement of their respective labour and environmental law and respect for labour and environmental international agreements;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  promote the full use of instruments, such as impact assessment and stakeholder consultations, in the regulation of trade, labour and environmental issues and encourage businesses, civil society organisations and citizens to develop and implement practices that contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals; and
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  promote public consultation and participation in the discussion of sustainable development issues that arise under this Agreement and in the development of relevant law and policies.
               
            Article 22.2
      Transparency
      The Parties stress the importance of ensuring transparency as a necessary element to promote public participation and making information public within the context of this Chapter, in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter and Chapter Twenty-Seven (Transparency) as well as Articles 23.6 (Public information and awareness) and 24.7 (Public information and awareness).
      Article 22.3
      Cooperation and promotion of trade supporting sustainable development
      1.   The Parties recognise the value of international cooperation to achieve the goal of sustainable development and the integration at the international level of economic, social and environmental development and protection initiatives, actions and measures. Therefore, the Parties agree to dialogue and consult with each other with regard to trade-related sustainable development issues of common interest.
      2.   The Parties affirm that trade should promote sustainable development. Accordingly, each Party shall strive to promote trade and economic flows and practices that contribute to enhancing decent work and environmental protection, including by:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  encouraging the development and use of voluntary schemes relating to the sustainable production of goods and services, such as eco-labelling and fair trade schemes;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  encouraging the development and use of voluntary best practices of corporate social responsibility by enterprises, such as those in the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, to strengthen coherence between economic, social and environmental objectives;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  encouraging the integration of sustainability considerations in private and public consumption decisions; and
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  promoting the development, the establishment, the maintenance or the improvement of environmental performance goals and standards.
               
            3.   The Parties recognise the importance of addressing specific sustainable development issues by assessing the potential economic, social and environmental impacts of possible actions, taking account of the views of stakeholders. Therefore, each Party commits to review, monitor and assess the impact of the implementation of this Agreement on sustainable development in its territory in order to identify any need for action that may arise in connection with this Agreement. The Parties may carry out joint assessments. These assessments will be conducted in a manner that is adapted to the practices and conditions of each Party, through the respective participative processes of the Parties, as well as those processes set up under this Agreement.
      Article 22.4

                  (c)
               
               
                  the Committee on Trade and Sustainable Development shall report annually on any matter that it addresses pursuant to Article 24.7.3 (Public information and awareness) or Article 23.8.4 (Institutional mechanisms).

         CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
      
      
         
            Trade and labour
         
      
      Article 23.1
      Context and objectives
      1.   The Parties recognise the value of international cooperation and agreements on labour affairs as a response of the international community to economic, employment and social challenges and opportunities resulting from globalisation. They recognise the contribution that international trade could make to full and productive employment and decent work for all and commit to consulting and cooperating as appropriate on trade-related labour and employment issues of mutual interest.
      2.   Affirming the value of greater policy coherence in decent work, encompassing core labour standards, and high levels of labour protection, coupled with their effective enforcement, the Parties recognise the beneficial role that those areas can have on economic efficiency, innovation and productivity, including export performance. In this context, they also recognise the importance of social dialogue on labour matters among workers and employers, and their respective organisations, and governments, and commit to the promotion of such dialogue.
      Article 23.2
      Right to regulate and levels of protection
      Recognising the right of each Party to set its labour priorities, to establish its levels of labour protection and to adopt or modify its laws and policies accordingly in a manner consistent with its international labour commitments, including those in this Chapter, each Party shall seek to ensure those laws and policies provide for and encourage high levels of labour protection and shall strive to continue to improve such laws and policies with the goal of providing high levels of labour protection.
      Article 23.3
      Multilateral labour standards and agreements
      1.   Each Party shall ensure that its labour law and practices embody and provide protection for the fundamental principles and rights at work which are listed below. The Parties affirm their commitment to respect, promote and realise those principles and rights in accordance with the obligations of the members of the International Labour Organization (the ‘ILO’) and the commitments under the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-up of 1998 adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 86th Session:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labour;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the effective abolition of child labour; and
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.
               
            2.   Each Party shall ensure that its labour law and practices promote the following objectives included in the ILO Decent Work Agenda, and in accordance with the ILO Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization of 2008 adopted by the International Labour Conference at its 97th Session, and other international commitments:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  health and safety at work, including the prevention of occupational injury or illness and compensation in cases of such injury or illness;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  establishment of acceptable minimum employment standards for wage earners, including those not covered by a collective agreement; and,
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  non-discrimination in respect of working conditions, including for migrant workers.
               
            3.   Pursuant to subparagraph 2(a), each Party shall ensure that its labour law and practices embody and provide protection for working conditions that respect the health and safety of workers, including by formulating policies that promote basic principles aimed at preventing accidents and injuries that arise out of or in the course of work, and that are aimed at developing a preventative safety and health culture where the principle of prevention is accorded the highest priority. When preparing and implementing measures aimed at health protection and safety at work, each Party shall take into account existing relevant scientific and technical information and related international standards, guidelines or recommendations, if the measures may affect trade or investment between the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that in case of existing or potential hazards or conditions that could reasonably be expected to cause injury or illness to a natural person, a Party shall not use the lack of full scientific certainty as a reason to postpone cost-effective protective measures.
      4.   Each Party reaffirms its commitment to effectively implement in its law and practices in its whole territory the fundamental ILO Conventions that Canada and the Member States of the European Union have ratified respectively. The Parties shall make continued and sustained efforts to ratify the fundamental ILO Conventions if they have not yet done so. The Parties shall exchange information on their respective situations and advances regarding the ratification of the fundamental as well as priority and other ILO Conventions that are classified as up to date by the ILO.
      Article 23.4
      Upholding levels of protection
      1.   The Parties recognise that it is inappropriate to encourage trade or investment by weakening or reducing the levels of protection afforded in their labour law and standards.
      2.   A Party shall not waive or otherwise derogate from, or offer to waive or otherwise derogate from, its labour law and standards, to encourage trade or the establishment, acquisition, expansion or retention of an investment in its territory.
      3.   A Party shall not, through a sustained or recurring course of action or inaction, fail to effectively enforce its labour law and standards to encourage trade or investment.
      Article 23.5
      Enforcement procedures, administrative proceedings and review of administrative action
      1.   Pursuant to Article 23.4, each Party shall promote compliance with and shall effectively enforce its labour law, including by:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  maintaining a system of labour inspection in accordance with its international commitments aimed at securing the enforcement of legal provisions relating to working conditions and the protection of workers which are enforceable by labour inspectors; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  ensuring that administrative and judicial proceedings are available to persons with a legally recognised interest in a particular matter who maintain that a right is infringed under its law, in order to permit effective action against infringements of its labour law, including appropriate remedies for violations of such law.
               
            2.   Each Party shall, in accordance with its law, ensure that the proceedings referred to in subparagraph 1(b) are not unnecessarily complicated or prohibitively costly, do not entail unreasonable time limits or unwarranted delays, provide injunctive relief, if appropriate, and are fair and equitable, including by:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  providing defendants with reasonable notice when a procedure is initiated, including a description of the nature of the proceeding and the basis of the claim;
               
            
                  (b)

      The Parties recognise the right of each Party to set its environmental priorities, to establish its levels of environmental protection, and to adopt or modify its laws and policies accordingly and in a manner consistent with the multilateral environmental agreements to which it is party and with this Agreement. Each Party shall seek to ensure that those laws and policies provide for and encourage high levels of environmental protection, and shall strive to continue to improve such laws and policies and their underlying levels of protection.
      Article 24.4
      Multilateral environmental agreements
      1.   The Parties recognise the value of international environmental governance and agreements as a response of the international community to global or regional environmental problems and stress the need to enhance the mutual supportiveness between trade and environment policies, rules, and measures.

      3.   The Parties commit to consult and cooperate as appropriate with respect to environmental issues of mutual interest related to multilateral environmental agreements, and in particular, trade-related issues. This commitment includes exchanging information on:

                  (d)
               
               
                  allowing the parties to administrative proceedings an opportunity for review and, if warranted, correction of final administrative decisions within a reasonable period of time by a tribunal established by law, with appropriate guarantees of tribunal independence and impartiality.

      2.   The Parties acknowledge that where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, the lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation.
      Article 24.9
      Trade favouring environmental protection
      1.   The Parties are resolved to make efforts to facilitate and promote trade and investment in environmental goods and services, including through addressing the reduction of non-tariff barriers related to these goods and services.

            3.   In the case of trade in goods, a Party may adopt restrictive measures in order to safeguard its balance-of-payments or external financial position.

                  (c)
               
               
                  to a taxation measure of a Party that provides an advantage relating to the purchase or consumption of a particular service, conditional on a requirement that the service be provided in the territory of that Party;
               
            
                  (d)
               
               
                  to a taxation measure of a Party that is aimed at ensuring the equitable and effective imposition or collection of taxes, including a measure that is taken by a Party in order to ensure compliance with the Party's taxation system;
               
            
                  (e)
               
               
                  to a taxation measure that provides an advantage to a government, a part of a government, or a person that is directly or indirectly owned, controlled or established by a government;
               
            
                  (f)
               
               
                  to an existing non-conforming taxation measure not otherwise covered in paragraphs 1, 2 and 4(a) through (e), to the continuation or prompt renewal of such a measure, or an amendment of such a measure, provided that the amendment does not decrease its conformity with the provisions of this Agreement as it existed immediately before the amendment.
               
            5.   For greater certainty, the fact that a taxation measure constitutes a significant amendment to an existing taxation measure, takes immediate effect as of its announcement, clarifies the intended application of an existing taxation measure, or has an unexpected impact on an investor or covered investment, does not, in and of itself, constitute a violation of Article 8.10 (Treatment of investors and of covered investments).
      6.   Articles 8.7 (Most-favoured-nation treatment), 9.5 (Most-favoured-nation treatment) and 13.4 (Most-favoured-nation treatment) do not apply to an advantage accorded by a Party pursuant to a tax convention.
      
                  7.
               
               
                  
                              (a)
                           
                           
                              Where an investor submits a request for consultations pursuant to Article 8.19 (Consultations) claiming that a taxation measure breaches an obligation under Sections C (Non-discriminatory treatment) or D (Investment protection) of Chapter Eight (Investment), the respondent may refer the matter for consultation and joint determination by the Parties as to whether:
                              
                                          (i)
                                       
                                       
                                          the measure is a taxation measure;
                                       
                                    
                                          (ii)
                                       
                                       
                                          the measure, if it is found to be a taxation measure, breaches an obligation under Sections C (Non-discriminatory treatment) or D (Investment protection) of Chapter Eight (Investment); or
                                       
                                    
                                          (iii)
                                       
                                       
                                          there is an inconsistency between the obligations in this Agreement that are alleged to have been breached and those of a tax convention.
                                       
                                    
                        
                              (b)
                           
                           
                              A referral pursuant to subparagraph (a) cannot be made later than the date the Tribunal fixes for the respondent to submit its counter-memorial. Where the respondent makes such a referral the time periods or proceedings specified in Section F (Resolution of investment disputes between investors and states) of Chapter Eight (Investment) shall be suspended. If within 180 days from the referral the Parties do not agree to consider the issue, or fail to make a joint determination, the suspension of the time periods or proceedings shall no longer apply and the investor may proceed with its claim.
                           
                        
                              (c)
                           
                           
                              A joint determination by the Parties pursuant to subparagraph (a) shall be binding on the Tribunal.
                           
                        
                              (d)
                           
                           
                              Each Party shall ensure that its delegation for the consultations to be conducted pursuant to subparagraph (a) shall include persons with relevant expertise on the issues covered by this Article, including representatives from the relevant tax authorities of each Party. For Canada, this means officials from the Department of Finance Canada.
                           
                        
            8.   For greater certainty,
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  
                     taxation measure of a Party means a taxation measure adopted at any level of government of a Party; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  for measures of a sub-national government, resident of a Party, means either resident of that sub-national jurisdiction or resident of the Party of which it forms a part.
               
            Article 28.8
      Disclosure of information
      1.   This Agreement does not require a Party to furnish or allow access to information which, if disclosed, would impede law enforcement or the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under its law.
      2.   In the course of a dispute settlement procedure under this Agreement,
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  a Party is not required to furnish or allow access to information protected under its competition laws; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  a competition authority of a Party is not required to furnish or allow access to information that is privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.
               
            Article 28.9
      Exceptions applicable to culture

      WTO waivers
      If a right or obligation in this Agreement duplicates one under the WTO Agreement, the Parties agree that a measure in conformity with a waiver decision adopted by the WTO pursuant to Article IX of the WTO Agreement is deemed to be also in conformity with the duplicated provision in this Agreement.

            Dispute settlement
         
      
      
         Section A
      
      
         
            Initial provisions
         
      
      Article 29.1
      Cooperation
      The Parties shall, at all times, endeavour to agree on the interpretation and application of this Agreement, and shall make every attempt through cooperation and consultations to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution of any matter that might affect its operation.
      Article 29.2
      Scope
      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Chapter applies to any dispute concerning the interpretation or application of the provisions of this Agreement.
      Article 29.3
      Choice of forum
      1.   Recourse to the dispute settlement provisions of this Chapter is without prejudice to recourse to dispute settlement under the WTO Agreement or under any other agreement to which the Parties are party.
      2.   Notwithstanding paragraph 1, if an obligation is equivalent in substance under this Agreement and under the WTO Agreement, or under any other agreement to which the Parties are party, a Party may not seek redress for the breach of such an obligation in the two fora. In such case, once a dispute settlement proceeding has been initiated under one agreement, the Party shall not bring a claim seeking redress for the breach of the substantially equivalent obligation under the other agreement, unless the forum selected fails, for procedural or jurisdictional reasons, other than termination under paragraph 20 of Annex 29-A, to make findings on that claim.
      3.   For the purposes of paragraph 2:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  dispute settlement proceedings under the WTO Agreement are deemed to be initiated by a Party's request for the establishment of a panel under Article 6 of the DSU;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  dispute settlement proceedings under this Chapter are deemed to be initiated by a Party's request for the establishment of an arbitration panel under Article 29.6; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  dispute settlement proceedings under any other agreement are deemed to be initiated by a Party's request for the establishment of a dispute settlement panel or tribunal in accordance with the provisions of that agreement.
               
            4.   Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a Party from implementing the suspension of obligations authorised by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. A Party may not invoke the WTO Agreement to preclude the other Party from suspending obligations pursuant to this Chapter.

      Article 29.4
      Consultations
      1.   A Party may request in writing consultations with the other Party regarding any matter referred to in Article 29.2.
      2.   The requesting Party shall transmit the request to the responding Party, and shall set out the reasons for the request, including the identification of the specific measure at issue and the legal basis for the complaint.
      3.   Subject to paragraph 4, the Parties shall enter into consultations within 30 days of the date of receipt of the request by the responding Party.
      4.   In cases of urgency, including those involving perishable or seasonal goods, or services that rapidly lose their trade value, consultations shall commence within 15 days of the date of receipt of the request by the responding Party.
      5.   The Parties shall make every attempt to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution of the matter through consultations. To this end, each Party shall:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  provide sufficient information to enable a full examination of the matter at issue;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  protect any confidential or proprietary information exchanged in the course of consultations as requested by the Party providing the information; and
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  make available the personnel of its government agencies or other regulatory bodies who have expertise in the matter that is the subject of the consultations.
               
            6.   Consultations are confidential and without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in proceedings under this Chapter.
      7.   Consultations shall take place in the territory of the responding Party unless the Parties agree otherwise. Consultations may be held in person or by any other means agreed to by the Parties.
      8.   A Party's proposed measure may be the subject of consultations under this Article but may not be the subject of mediation under Article 29.5 or the dispute settlement procedures under Section C.
      Article 29.5
      Mediation
      The Parties may have recourse to mediation with regard to a measure if the measure adversely affects trade and investment between the Parties. Mediation procedures are set out in Annex 29-C.

      Dispute settlement procedures
      Article 29.6
      Request for the establishment of an arbitration panel
      1.   Unless the Parties agree otherwise, if a matter referred to in Article 29.4 has not been resolved within:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  45 days of the date of receipt of the request for consultations; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  25 days of the date of receipt of the request for consultations for matters referred to in Article 29.4.4,
               
            the requesting Party may refer the matter to an arbitration panel by providing its written request for the establishment of an arbitration panel to the responding Party.
      2.   The requesting Party shall identify in its written request the specific measure at issue and the legal basis for the complaint, including an explanation of how such measure constitutes a breach of the provisions referred to in Article 29.2.
      Article 29.7
      Composition of the arbitration panel
      1.   The arbitration panel shall be composed of three arbitrators.
      2.   The Parties shall consult with a view to reaching an agreement on the composition of the arbitration panel within 10 working days of the date of receipt by the responding Party of the request for the establishment of an arbitration panel.
      3.   In the event that the Parties are unable to agree on the composition of the arbitration panel within the time frame set out in paragraph 2, either Party may request the Chair of the CETA Joint Committee, or the Chair's delegate, to draw by lot the arbitrators from the list established under Article 29.8. One arbitrator shall be drawn from the sub-list of the requesting Party, one from the sub-list of the responding Party and one from the sub-list of chairpersons. If the Parties have agreed on one or more of the arbitrators, any remaining arbitrator shall be selected by the same procedure in the applicable sub-list of arbitrators. If the Parties have agreed on an arbitrator, other than the chairperson, who is not a national of either Party, the chairperson and other arbitrator shall be selected from the sub-list of chairpersons.
      4.   The Chair of the CETA Joint Committee, or the Chair's delegate, shall select the arbitrators as soon as possible and normally within five working days of the request referred to in paragraph 3 by either Party. The Chair, or the Chair's delegate, shall give a reasonable opportunity to representatives of each Party to be present when lots are drawn. One of the Chairpersons can perform the selection by lot alone if the other Chairperson was informed about the date, time and place of the selection by lot and did not accept to participate within five working days of the request referred to in paragraph 3.
      5.   The date of establishment of the arbitration panel shall be the date on which the last of the three arbitrators is selected.
      6.   If the list provided for in Article 29.8 is not established or if it does not contain sufficient names at the time a request is made pursuant to paragraph 3, the three arbitrators shall be drawn by lot from the arbitrators who have been proposed by one or both of the Parties in accordance with Article 29.8.1.
      7.   Replacement of arbitrators shall take place only for the reasons and according to the procedure set out in paragraphs 21 through 25 of Annex 29-A.
      Article 29.8
      List of arbitrators
      1.   The CETA Joint Committee shall, at its first meeting after the entry into force of this Agreement, establish a list of at least 15 individuals, chosen on the basis of objectivity, reliability and sound judgment, who are willing and able to serve as arbitrators. The list shall be composed of three sub-lists: one sub-list for each Party and one sub-list of individuals who are not nationals of either Party to act as chairpersons. Each sub-list shall include at least five individuals. The CETA Joint Committee may review the list at any time and shall ensure that the list conforms with this Article.
      2.   The arbitrators must have specialised knowledge of international trade law. The arbitrators acting as chairpersons must also have experience as counsel or panellist in dispute settlement proceedings on subject matters within the scope of this Agreement. The arbitrators shall be independent, serve in their individual capacities and not take instructions from any organisation or government, or be affiliated with the government of any of the Parties, and shall comply with the Code of Conduct in Annex 29-B.
      Article 29.9
      Interim panel report
      1.   The arbitration panel shall present to the Parties an interim report within 150 days of the establishment of the arbitration panel. The report shall contain:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  findings of fact; and
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  determinations as to whether the responding Party has conformed with its obligations under this Agreement.
               
            2.   Each Party may submit written comments to the arbitration panel on the interim report, subject to any time limits set by the arbitration panel. After considering any such comments, the arbitration panel may:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  reconsider its report; or
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  make any further examination that it considers appropriate.
               
            3.   The interim report of the arbitration panel shall be confidential.
      Article 29.10
      Final panel report
      1.   Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the arbitration panel shall issue a report in accordance with this Chapter. The final panel report shall set out the findings of fact, the applicability of the relevant provisions of this Agreement and the basic rationale behind any findings and conclusions that it makes. The ruling of the arbitration panel in the final panel report shall be binding on the Parties.
      2.   The arbitration panel shall issue to the Parties and to the CETA Joint Committee a final report within 30 days of the interim report.
      3.   Each Party shall make publicly available the final panel report, subject to paragraph 39 of Annex 29-A.
      Article 29.11
      Urgent proceedings
      In cases of urgency, including those involving perishable or seasonal goods, or services that rapidly lose their trade value, the arbitration panel and the Parties shall make every effort to accelerate the proceedings to the greatest extent possible. The arbitration panel shall aim at issuing an interim report to the Parties within 75 days of the establishment of the arbitration panel, and a final report within 15 days of the interim report. Upon request of a Party, the arbitration panel shall make a preliminary ruling within 10 days of the request on whether it deems the case to be urgent.
      Sub-section B
      Compliance
      Article 29.12
      Compliance with the final panel report
      The responding Party shall take any measure necessary to comply with the final panel report. No later than 20 days after the receipt of the final panel report by the Parties, the responding Party shall inform the other Party and the CETA Joint Committee of its intentions in respect of compliance.
      Article 29.13
      Reasonable period of time for compliance
      1.   If immediate compliance is not possible, no later than 20 days after the receipt of the final panel report by the Parties, the responding Party shall notify the requesting Party and the CETA Joint Committee of the period of time it will require for compliance.
      2.   In the event of disagreement between the Parties on the reasonable period of time in which to comply with the final panel report, the requesting Party shall, within 20 days of the receipt of the notification made under paragraph 1 by the responding Party, request in writing the arbitration panel to determine the length of the reasonable period of time. Such request shall be notified simultaneously to the other Party and to the CETA Joint Committee. The arbitration panel shall issue its ruling to the Parties and to the CETA Joint Committee within 30 days from the date of the request.
      3.   The reasonable period of time may be extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.
      4.   At any time after the midpoint in the reasonable period of time and at the request of the requesting Party, the responding Party shall make itself available to discuss the steps it is taking to comply with the final panel report.

      Article 29.14
      Temporary remedies in case of non-compliance
      1.   If:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  the responding Party fails to notify its intention to comply with the final panel report under Article 29.12 or the time it will require for compliance under Article 29.13.1;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  at the expiry of the reasonable period of time, the responding Party fails to notify any measure taken to comply with the final panel report; or
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  the arbitration panel on compliance referred to in paragraph 6 establishes that a measure taken to comply is inconsistent with that Party's obligations under the provisions referred to in Article 29.2,
               
            the requesting Party shall be entitled to suspend obligations or receive compensation. The level of the nullification and impairment shall be calculated starting from the date of notification of the final panel report to the Parties.
      2.   Before suspending obligations, the requesting Party shall notify the responding Party and the CETA Joint Committee of its intention to do so, including the level of obligations it intends to suspend.
      3.   Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the suspension of obligations may concern any provision referred to in Article 29.2 and shall be limited at a level equivalent to the nullification or impairment caused by the violation.
      4.   The requesting Party may implement the suspension 10 working days after the date of receipt of the notification referred to in paragraph 2 by the responding Party, unless a Party has requested arbitration under paragraphs 6 and 7.
      5.   A disagreement between the Parties concerning the existence of any measure taken to comply or its consistency with the provisions referred to in Article 29.2 (‘disagreement on compliance’), or on the equivalence between the level of suspension and the nullification or impairment caused by the violation (‘disagreement on equivalence’), shall be referred to the arbitration panel.
      6.   A Party may reconvene the arbitration panel by providing a written request to the arbitration panel, the other Party and the CETA Joint Committee. In case of a disagreement on compliance, the arbitration panel shall be reconvened by the requesting Party. In case of a disagreement on equivalence, the arbitration panel shall be reconvened by the responding Party. In case of disagreements on both compliance and on equivalence, the arbitration panel shall rule on the disagreement on compliance before ruling on the disagreement on equivalence.
      7.   The arbitration panel shall notify its ruling to the Parties and to the CETA Joint Committee accordingly:
      
                  (a)
               
               
                  within 90 days of the request to reconvene the arbitration panel, in case of a disagreement on compliance;
               
            
                  (b)
               
               
                  within 30 days of the request to reconvene the arbitration panel, in case of a disagreement on equivalence;
               
            
                  (c)
               
               
                  within 120 days of the first request to reconvene the arbitration panel, in case of a disagreement on both compliance and equivalence.
               
            8.   The requesting Party shall not suspend obligations until the arbitration panel reconvened under paragraphs 6 and 7 has delivered its ruling. Any suspension shall be consistent with the arbitration panel's ruling.
      9.   The suspension of obligations shall be temporary and shall be applied only until the measure found to be inconsistent with the provisions referred to in Article 29.2 has been withdrawn or amended so as to bring it into conformity with those provisions, as established under Article 29.15, or until the Parties have settled the dispute.
      10.   At any time, the requesting Party may request the responding Party to provide an offer for temporary compensation and the responding Party shall present such offer.
      Article 29.15
      Review of measures taken to comply after the suspension of obligations
      1.   When, after the suspension of obligations by the requesting Party, the responding Party takes measures to comply with the final panel report, the responding Party shall notify the other Party and the CETA Joint Committee and request an end to the suspension of obligations applied by the requesting Party.
      2.   If the Parties do not reach an agreement on the compatibility of the notified measure with the provisions referred to in Article 29.2 within 60 days of the date of receipt of the notification, the requesting Party shall request in writing the arbitration panel to rule on the matter. Such request shall be notified simultaneously to the other Party and to the CETA Joint Committee. The final panel report shall be notified to the Parties and to the CETA Joint Committee within 90 days of the date of submission of the request. If the arbitration panel rules that any measure taken to comply is in conformity with the provisions referred to in Article 29.2, the suspension of obligations shall be terminated.

                     19.
                  
                  
                     With respect to the tariff rate quotas set out in paragraphs 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 If a tariff rate quota is under-filled, defined as less than 75 per cent of the annual aggregate quantity actually imported into the Party under the tariff rate quota in a given year, the Parties shall meet, upon the request of a Party, in the framework of the Committee on Agriculture established under Article 26.2.1 (a) (Specialised committees) in order to promptly address the underlying causes of the under-fill or any other questions affecting the smooth operation of the tariff rate quota.
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 If a tariff rate quota is under-filled, defined as less than 75 per cent of the annual aggregate quantity actually imported into the Party under the tariff rate quota in a given year for three consecutive years, and where such under-fill is not linked to scarce supply or demand of the relevant good, the administration of the quota for the following year(s) shall be made on a first-come first-served basis. To demonstrate scarce supply or demand, a Party shall clearly demonstrate on a quantifiable basis that either adequate supply to fill the tariff rate quota is not available in the country of export or that the tariff rate quota quantity could not be consumed in the importing market. If the Parties disagree on the reasons leading to under-fill, the matter shall be subject to binding arbitration at the request of a Party.
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 If subsequent to the under-fill referred to in subparagraph (b), there is full use of the tariff rate quota, defined as 90 per cent or more of the annual aggregate quantity actually imported into the Party under the tariff rate quota in a given year for two consecutive years, the Parties may consider returning to a licencing system following consultations between the Parties on the necessity and opportunity of such reversion and on the features of such licencing system.

                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 With respect to the tariff rate quotas set out in paragraphs 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17, both at the mid-term and at the end of the phase-in period of any of these tariff rate quotas, or at any other time upon motivated request of a Party, the Parties shall review the operation of the relevant tariff rate quota administration system in light notably of its effectiveness in ensuring quota utilisation, market conditions, and administrative burdens associated with the system for the economic operators and for the Parties.
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 With respect to the tariff rate quotas set out in paragraphs 16 and 17, the review referred to in subparagraph (a) shall also include the allocation method allowing for new entrants.
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 With respect to the tariff rate quotas set out in paragraphs 12, 13, and 15, the review referred to in subparagraph (a) shall also include the consequences of any tariff rate quota administration modalities agreed with a third country for the same goods in the framework of other trade negotiations involving the Parties and would include the possibility of providing the option to the exporting Party of transitioning to the approach agreed to in another agreement. The conditions of competition in North America will be a necessary part of the review.

            DECLARATION OF THE PARTIES CONCERNING TARIFF RATE QUOTA ADMINISTRATION
         
         SECTION A
         
            Declaration concerning European Union administration for beef and veal, and pork tariff rate quotas under this Agreement
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     The general principle is that tariff rate quota administration should be as conducive to trade as possible. More specifically, it must not impair or nullify the market access commitments negotiated by the Parties; it must be transparent, predictable, minimise transactional costs for traders, maximise fill rates and aim to avoid potential speculation.
                  
               
            Structure of the import licensing system
         
         Quarterly sub-periods with carryover between periods for unused tariff rate quota quantities
         
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     In each of the four quarters of the marketing year, 25 per cent of the annual tariff rate quota quantity will be made available for licence applications.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     Any quantities remaining available at the end of one quarter will be automatically rolled over into the subsequent quarter until the end of the marketing year.
                  
               Application period for import licences
         
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     An application for an import licence will be accepted up to 45 calendar days preceding the beginning of each quarter and an import licence shall be issued no less than 30 calendar days before the quarter begins.
                  
               
                  
                     5.
                  
                  
                     If demand for licences during the application period exceeds the quantities available for that quarter, licences will be allocated on a pro-rated basis.
                  
               
                  
                     6.
                  
                  
                     If the available quantity for any quarter is not fully allocated during the application period, the remaining quantity will be made available for eligible applicants to apply for on demand for the rest of that quarter. Import licences will be issued automatically on demand until the available quantity has been fully subscribed for that period.
                  
               Validity of licences
         
                  
                     7.
                  
                  
                     An import licence is valid:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 from the date of issue or the date of the beginning of the quarter for which the import licence is issued, whichever is later; and
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 for five months from the applicable date in subparagraph (a) or until the end of the marketing year, whichever comes first.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     8.
                  
                  
                     Import licences may be used at any European Union customs entry point and for multiple shipments.

                     The eligibility criteria and allocation method should result in the quotas going to those persons that are most likely to use it and must not create barriers to imports.
                  
               
                  
                     10.
                  
                  
                     During the application period, eligible applicants shall include historical importers of beef, bison or veal for beef and veal imports and historical importers of beef, bison, veal or pork for pork imports.
                  
               
                  
                     11.
                  
                  
                     In any quarter following the application period when licences are made available on demand, the eligibility criteria for applicants will be expanded to include wholesalers and accredited meat processors.

                     Licences are not transferable.

                     14.
                  
                  
                     Unused licence quantities may be returned before expiration and up to four months prior to the end of the marketing year. Each licence holder may return up to 30 per cent of their individual licence quantity. When such a quantity is returned, 60 per cent of the corresponding security is released.
                  
               
                  
                     15.
                  
                  
                     All returned quantities will be immediately made available to other eligible applicants to apply for on demand for the rest of that quarter, and will be rolled over to subsequent quarters if not requested.
                  
               Release of security and release of full security when 95 per cent of imports occur
         
                  
                     16.
                  
                  
                     Securities shall be proportionally released each time actual imports have taken place.
                  
               
                  
                     17.
                  
                  
                     Once 95 per cent of an importer's individual licence quantity is actually imported the full security shall be released.
                  
               SECTION B
         
            Declaration concerning Canada's administration for cheese tariff rate quotas under this Agreement
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     The general principle is that tariff rate quota administration should be as conducive to trade as possible. More specifically, it must not impair or nullify the market access commitments negotiated by the Parties; it must be transparent, predictable, minimise transactional costs for traders, maximise fill rates and aim to avoid potential speculation.
                  
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     The eligibility criteria and allocation method should result in the quotas going to those persons that are most likely to use it and must not create barriers to imports.
                  
               
            Structure of the import licensing system
         
         
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     The annual tariff rate quota quantity will be allocated each year among eligible applicants.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     The tariff rate quota allocation method will allow for new entrants each year. During the phase-in period from Year 1 to Year 5, at least 30 per cent of the tariff rate quota will be available to new entrants every year. After the end of the phase-in period from Year 6 and in subsequent years, at least 10 percent of the tariff rate quota quantity will be available for new entrants.
                  
               
                  
                     5.
                  
                  
                     The tariff rate quota quantity will be allocated on a calendar year basis. Applications from all interested parties will be received and processed according to the provisions of the Understanding on Tariff Rate Quota Administration Provisions of Agricultural Products, as defined in Article 2 of the Agreement on Agriculture, Ministerial Decision WT/MIN(13)/39, 7 December 2013, with a period of four to six weeks to submit applications. Imports will be able to start from the first day of the year.
                  
               
                  
                     6.
                  
                  
                     In the event that the tariff rate quota is not fully allocated following the application process in paragraph 3, available quantities will immediately be offered to eligible applicants in proportion to their allocation, or on demand if quantities still remain after the first offer.
                  
               
            Eligibility criteria
         
         
                  
                     7.
                  
                  
                     To be eligible, an applicant shall be, at a minimum, a resident of Canada and be active in the Canadian cheese sector regularly during the year.
                  
               
                  
                     8.
                  
                  
                     During the phase-in period from Year 1 to Year 5, a new entrant shall be an eligible applicant who is not an allocation holder under Canada's cheese tariff rate quota under the WTO.
                  
               
                  
                     9.
                  
                  
                     After the end of the phase-in period, from Year 6 and in subsequent years, a new entrant shall be an eligible applicant who is not an allocation holder under Canada's cheese tariff rate quota under the WTO or did not receive an allocation of the tariff rate quotas under this Agreement in the preceding year.
                  
               
                  
                     10.
                  
                  
                     A new entrant shall be considered as such for a period of three years.
                  
               
                  
                     11.
                  
                  
                     Once an applicant is no longer considered to be a new entrant, the applicant shall be treated the same as all other applicants.
                  
               
                  
                     12.
                  
                  
                     Canada may consider limiting the size of allocations to a specific percentage if it is deemed necessary to foster a competitive, fair, and balanced import environment.
                  
               
            Use of import allocations and import permits
         
         
                  
                     13.
                  
                  
                     A tariff rate quota allocation shall be valid for one quota year or, if issued after the beginning of the quota year, for the remainder of the quota year.
                  
               
                  
                     14.
                  
                  
                     To ensure that imports are aligned with domestic market conditions and to minimise barriers to trade, an allocation holder will normally be free to use its allocation to import any product covered by the tariff rate quota at any time during the year.
                  
               
                  
                     15.
                  
                  
                     On the basis of its allocation, an importer will submit an import permit request for each shipment of product covered by the tariff rate quota that the importer seeks to import into Canada. Import permits are normally issued automatically upon request through the electronic permitting system of the Government of Canada. Under current policies, import permits may be requested up to 30 days before the planned date of entry and are valid for a period of five days before and 25 days from the date of entry.

                     Permits are not transferable.
                  
               
                  
                     17.
                  
                  
                     An import permit may be amended or cancelled.
                  
               
                  
                     18.
                  
                  
                     A transfer of allocations may be authorised.
                  
               
                  
                     19.
                  
                  
                     An allocation holder that uses less than 95 per cent of its allocation in any one year may be subject to an under-utilisation penalty in the following year, in which it will receive an allocation that reflects the actual level of use of the previous allocation. An allocation holder affected by an under-utilisation penalty will be advised prior to the final allocation of the tariff rate quota.
                  
               
                  
                     20.
                  
                  
                     An allocation holder may return an unused quantity of their allocation up to a specified date. Returned quantities will be considered used for the purpose of the application of the under-utilisation penalty. Chronic returns may be penalised.
                  
               
                  
                     21.
                  
                  
                     Returned quantities will normally be made available to interested allocation holders who have not returned any unused quantity of their allocation the day after the return deadline. If quantities remain after that, they may be offered to other interested third parties.
                  
               
                  
                     22.
                  
                  
                     The return deadline will be set at a date that is early enough to give sufficient time for use of the returned quantities, while being late enough to allow allocation holders to establish their import needs until the end of the year, possibly near the middle of the quota year.

         2.   Canada maintains its right to modify its law, including by amending or revising which United Nations Regulations are incorporated into its law, or the manner in which or the extent to which these Regulations are incorporated into its law. Before introducing such changes, Canada shall inform the European Union and, upon request, shall be prepared to provide information on the rationale for these changes. Canada shall continue to recognise the relevant United Nations Regulations, unless doing so would provide for a lower level of safety than the amendments introduced, or would compromise North American integration.
         3.   The Parties shall engage in technical consultations with a view to determining, no later than three years after the entry into force of this Agreement, whether the technical regulations contained in the United Nations Regulations listed in Annex 4-A-2 should also be incorporated into Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, with any adaptations Canada considers necessary. These technical regulations should be incorporated, unless doing so would provide for a lower level of safety than the Canadian regulations or would compromise North American integration.
         4.   The Parties shall also engage in further technical consultations to determine whether other technical regulations should be included in Annex 4-A-2.
         5.   Canada shall establish and maintain a list of technical regulations contained in United Nations Regulations that are incorporated into Canada's Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. Canada shall make that list publicly available.
         6.   In an effort to promote regulatory convergence, the Parties shall exchange information, to the extent practicable, on their respective technical regulations related to motor vehicle safety.
         Article 5
         Positive consideration of the other Party's technical regulations
         When a Party develops a new technical regulation for motor vehicles and their parts, or when it modifies an existing one, it shall consider the technical regulations of the other Party, including those established under the framework of the UNECE World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29). A Party shall provide, at the request of the other Party, an explanation on the extent to which it considered the technical regulations of that other Party when it developed its new technical regulations.
         Article 6
         Cooperation with the United States of America
         The Parties recognise their mutual interest to cooperate with the United States of America in the field of motor vehicle technical regulations. If the European Union and the United States conclude an agreement or an arrangement on the harmonisation of their respective technical regulations related to motor vehicles, the Parties shall cooperate with a view to determining whether they should conclude a similar agreement or arrangement.

                     1.
                  
                  
                     If a Party intends to adopt, modify, or repeal an SPS measure in an area for which it has made a recognition of equivalence as set out in Article 5.6.3(a) or a recognition described in Article 5.6.3(b), that Party should:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 evaluate whether the adoption, modification or repeal of that SPS measure may affect the recognition; and
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 notify the other Party of its intention to adopt, modify, or repeal that SPS measure, and of the evaluation under paragraph (a). The notification should take place at an early appropriate stage, when amendments can still be introduced and comments taken into account.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     If a Party adopts, modifies, or repeals an SPS measure in an area for which it has made a recognition, the importing Party should continue to accept the recognition of equivalence as set out in Article 5.6.3(a) or the recognition described in Article 5.6.3(b), as the case may be, in that area until it has communicated to the exporting Party whether special conditions must be met, and if so, provided the special conditions to the exporting Party. The importing Party should consult with the exporting Party to develop these special conditions.
                  
               
      
         ANNEX 5-E
         
            RECOGNITION OF SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES
         
         
            General Notes
         
         
                     1.
                  
                  
                     If a Party modifies an SPS measure listed in this Annex, the modified SPS measure applies to imports from the other Party, taking into account paragraph 2 of Annex 5-D. For updated SPS measures, refer to the legislative publications of each Party.
                  
               
                     2.
                  
                  
                     If an importing Party determines that a special condition listed in this Annex is no longer necessary, that Party shall notify the other Party in accordance with Article 26.5 that it will no longer apply that special condition to imports from the other Party.
                  
               
                     3.
                  
                  
                     For greater certainty, an SPS measure of an importing Party that is not otherwise referenced in this Annex or a measure of an importing Party that is not an SPS measure applies, as appropriate, to imports from the other Party.

                     In addition, when possible, the uterine dam of the prospective donor bull should be subjected to an ELISA test for enzootic bovine leucosis, subsequent to the weaning of the prospective donor, with negative results.
                     This test of the uterine dam is required to export semen to the Member States of the European Union when semen is collected from a donor bull before reaching 24 months of age, and a negative result to an ELISA test is required after reaching that age. This test is not required when the prospective donor bull originates from a Canada Health Accredited Herd for Enzootic bovine leucosis; and,
                     2.   Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis: (serum) ELISA
                     The semi-annual testing for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis of all resident animals must be performed at infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-negative facilities that are approved for export to the European Union. Only infectious bovine rhinotracheitis-negative facilities are allowed to export semen to the European Union.

                     The Canadian and European Union systems are deemed to provide an equivalent level of protection with respect to microbiological requirements. However, the microbiological criteria used by Canada and the European Union for end product monitoring differ in some aspects. For exported products, it is the responsibility of the exporter to ensure that the products meet the food safety criteria of the importing country.

                     The Canadian and European Union systems are deemed to provide an equivalent level of protection with respect to microbiological requirements. However, the microbiological criteria used by Canada and the European Union for end product monitoring differ in some aspects. For exported products, it is the responsibility of the exporter to ensure that the products meet the food safety criteria of the importing country.

                     The Canadian and European Union systems are deemed to provide an equivalent level of protection with respect to microbiological requirements. However, the microbiological criteria used by Canada and the European Union for end product monitoring differ in some aspects. For exported products, it is the responsibility of the exporter to ensure that the products meet the food safety criteria of the importing country.

         ANNEX 5-G
         
            PROCEDURE RELATED TO SPECIFIC IMPORT REQUIREMENTS FOR PLANT HEALTH
         
         A key objective of this procedure is that the importing Party establishes and maintains, to the best of its ability, a list of regulated pests for commodities where a phytosanitary concern exists in its territory.
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     If the Parties jointly identify a specific commodity as a priority, the importing Party should establish a preliminary list of pests for that commodity, within a period of time determined by the Parties, once it receives from the exporting Party:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 information on the pest status in the territory of the exporting Party that relates to the pests regulated by at least one of the Parties; and
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 information on the pest status of other pests occurring in its territory based on international databases and other available sources.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     The preliminary list of pests of an importing Party may include pests that are already regulated in its territory. It may also include potential quarantine pests for which the importing Party may require a pest risk analysis should a commodity be confirmed as a priority in accordance with paragraph 3.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     For a commodity:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 for which a preliminary list of pests has been established pursuant to paragraph 2;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 which the Parties confirm is a priority; and
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 for which the exporting Party has provided all relevant information required by the importing Party,
                              
                           the importing Party should undertake the steps necessary to establish its regulated pest list as well as the specific import requirements for that commodity.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     If the importing Party provides for more than one phytosanitary measure to meet the specific import requirements for a specific commodity, the competent authority of the exporting Party should communicate to the competent authority of the importing Party which measure or measures it will use as the basis for certification.

         ANNEX 8-A
         
            EXPROPRIATION
         
         The Parties confirm their shared understanding that:
         
                     1.
                  
                  
                     Expropriation may be direct or indirect:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 direct expropriation occurs when an investment is nationalised or otherwise directly expropriated through formal transfer of title or outright seizure; and
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 indirect expropriation occurs if a measure or series of measures of a Party has an effect equivalent to direct expropriation, in that it substantially deprives the investor of the fundamental attributes of property in its investment, including the right to use, enjoy and dispose of its investment, without formal transfer of title or outright seizure.
                              
                           
               
                     2.
                  
                  
                     The determination of whether a measure or series of measures of a Party, in a specific fact situation, constitutes an indirect expropriation requires a case-by-case, fact-based inquiry that takes into consideration, among other factors:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 the economic impact of the measure or series of measures, although the sole fact that a measure or series of measures of a Party has an adverse effect on the economic value of an investment does not establish that an indirect expropriation has occurred;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 the duration of the measure or series of measures of a Party;
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 the extent to which the measure or series of measures interferes with distinct, reasonable investment-backed expectations; and
                              
                           
                                 (d)
                              
                              
                                 the character of the measure or series of measures, notably their object, context and intent.
                              
                           
               
                     3.
                  
                  
                     For greater certainty, except in the rare circumstance when the impact of a measure or series of measures is so severe in light of its purpose that it appears manifestly excessive, non-discriminatory measures of a Party that are designed and applied to protect legitimate public welfare objectives, such as health, safety and the environment, do not constitute indirect expropriations.
                  
               
      
         ANNEX 8-B
         
            PUBLIC DEBT
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     For the purposes of this Annex:
                     
                                  
                              
                              
                                 
                                    negotiated restructuring means the restructuring or rescheduling of debt of a Party that has been effected through
                                 
                                             (a)
                                          
                                          
                                             a modification or amendment of debt instruments, as provided for under their terms, including their governing law, or
                                          
                                       
                                             (b)
                                          
                                          
                                             a debt exchange or other similar process in which the holders of no less than 75 per cent of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt subject to restructuring have consented to such debt exchange or other process; and
                                          
                                       
                           
                                  
                              
                              
                                 
                                    governing law of a debt instrument means a jurisdiction's laws applicable to that debt instrument.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     No claim that a restructuring of debt of a Party breaches an obligation under Sections C and D may be submitted, or if already submitted continue, under Section F if the restructuring is a negotiated restructuring at the time of submission, or becomes a negotiated restructuring after such submission, except for a claim that the restructuring violates Article 8.6 or 8.7.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     Notwithstanding Article 8.22.1(b) and subject to paragraph 2, an investor of a Party may not submit a claim under Section F that a restructuring of debt of a Party breaches an obligation under Sections C and D (other than Article 8.6 or 8.7) (1) unless 270 days have elapsed from the date of submission by the claimant of the written request for consultations pursuant to Article 8.19.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     For greater certainty, debt of a Party means a debt instrument of any level of government of a Party.
                  
               
            (1)  For greater certainty, mere differences in treatment accorded by a Party to certain investors or investments on the basis of legitimate policy objectives in the context of a debt crisis or threat thereof, including those differences in treatment resulting from eligibility for debt restructuring, do not amount to a breach of Article 8.6 or 8.7.
      
      
         ANNEX 8-C
         
            EXCLUSIONS FROM DISPUTE SETTLEMENT
         
         A decision by Canada following a review under the Investment Canada Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 28 (1st Supp.), regarding whether or not to permit an investment that is subject to review, is not subject to the dispute settlement provisions under Section F, or to Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement). For greater certainty, this exclusion is without prejudice to the right of a Party to have recourse to Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement) with respect to the consistency of a measure with a Party's reservations, as set out in the Party's Schedule to Annexes I, II or III, as appropriate.
      
      
         ANNEX 8-D
         
            JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING ARTICLE 8.12.6
         
         Mindful that the Tribunal for the resolution of investment disputes between investors and states is meant to enforce the obligations referred to in Article 8.18.1, and is not an appeal mechanism for the decisions of domestic courts, the Parties recall that the domestic courts of each Party are responsible for the determination of the existence and validity of intellectual property rights. The Parties further recognise that each Party shall be free to determine the appropriate method of implementing the provisions of this Agreement regarding intellectual property within their own legal system and practice. The Parties agree to review the relation between intellectual property rights and investment disciplines within three years after entry into force of this Agreement or at the request of a Party. Further to this review and to the extent required, the Parties may issue binding interpretations to ensure the proper interpretation of the scope of investment protection under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 8.31.3.
      
      
         ANNEX 8-E
         
            JOINT DECLARATION ON ARTICLES 8.16, 9.8, AND 28.6
         
         With respect to Articles 8.16, 9.8 (Denial of benefits) and 28.6 (National security), the Parties confirm their understanding that measures that are ‘related to the maintenance of international peace and security’ include the protection of human rights.
      
      
         ANNEX 8-F
         
            DECLARATION BY CANADA ON THE INVESTMENT CANADA ACT
            
         
         Canada will increase the threshold for review under the Investment Canada Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. 28 (1st Supp.) (‘ICA’) to CAD $1.5 billion once this Agreement is implemented.
         Any future amendments to the ICA would be subject to the requirement that such amendments could not decrease the conformity of the ICA with the investment obligations of this Agreement.
         As set out in Canada's ICA reservation (Annex I-C-1), the higher threshold will apply to an acquisition of a Canadian enterprise by an investor of the European Union that is not a state enterprise. The determination of whether the acquirer is an investor of the European Union would be based on whether a national of the European Union controls the acquirer in law, or in the absence of a majority ownership, whether nationals of the European Union control the acquirer in fact such as through the ownership of voting interests or through the nationality of members of the board of directors. Moreover, enterprises of the European Union that are controlled by nationals from Canada's existing Free Trade Agreement partners with which Canada has taken investment commitments would also benefit from the higher threshold.
         Canada will amend its ICA to provide for the changes necessary for the higher review threshold stated above upon the entry into force of this Agreement.

                     2.
                  
                  
                     Pursuant to Article 9.3, treatment ‘no less favourable than the most favourable treatment accorded, in like situations, by that government to its own service suppliers and services’ does not apply to a person of the other Party, or to a service supplied by this person if:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 in the case of Canada, a provincial or territorial government of Canada accords more favourable treatment to a service supplier which is a person of another provincial or territorial government of Canada, or to a service supplied by this supplier; and

                                 in the case of the EU Party:
                                 
                                             (i)
                                          
                                          
                                             a government of a Member State of the European Union accords more favourable treatment to a service supplier which is a person of another Member State or to a service supplied by this supplier;
                                          
                                       
                                             (ii)
                                          
                                          
                                             a regional government of a Member State of the European Union accords more favourable treatment to a service supplier which is a person of another regional government of that Member State, or to a service supplied by this supplier; and
                                          
                                       
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 the more favourable treatment referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) is accorded pursuant to specific mutual rights and obligations applicable between these governments.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     3.

                     4.
                  
                  
                     For Canada, paragraph 2 includes in particular treatment accorded pursuant to the Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade, dated 18 July 1994, between the Government of Canada and the governments of the provinces and territories of Canada (‘AIT’) as well as to treatment accorded by any measure adopted pursuant to the AIT and from regional agreements on the free movement of persons and services. A provincial or territorial government in Canada may accord a more favourable treatment pursuant to the AIT and these regional agreements to those natural persons who are residents in the territory of a party to the AIT or regional agreement or to enterprises formed in accordance with the law of a party to the AIT or regional agreement that have their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within Canada, and to the services supplied by these natural persons or enterprises.

            UNDERSTANDING ON NEW SERVICES NOT CLASSIFIED IN THE UNITED NATIONS PROVISIONAL CENTRAL PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION (CPC), 1991
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     The Parties agree that Chapter Twelve (Domestic Regulation) and Articles 9.3, 9.5, and 9.6 do not apply to a measure relating to a new service that cannot be classified in the CPC 1991.
                  
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     To the extent possible, each Party shall notify the other Party prior to adopting a measure inconsistent with Chapter Twelve (Domestic Regulation), and Articles 9.3, 9.5, and 9.6 with respect to a new service, as referred to in paragraph 1.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     At the request of a Party, the Parties shall enter into negotiations to incorporate the new service into the scope of this Agreement.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     For greater certainty, paragraph 1 does not apply to an existing service that could be classified in the CPC 1991, but that could not previously be supplied on a cross-border basis due to lack of technical feasibility.
                  
               
      
         ANNEX 9-C

                     1.
                  
                  
                     The Parties share the following understanding with respect to the application of Articles 8.2.2(a) (Scope) and 9.2.2(e) (Scope).
                  
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     The Parties confirm that courier services are covered by Chapters Eight (Investment) and Nine (Cross-Border Trade in Services), subject to applicable reservations as set out in the Parties' Schedules to Annexes I and II. For greater certainty, the treatment offered to courier services under Chapters Eight and Nine does not include the grant of air traffic rights for courier service suppliers. These rights are subject to the Agreement on Air Transport between Canada and the European Community and its Member States, done at Brussels on 17 December 2009 and Ottawa on December 18, 2009.

                     the scope of the MRA, in terms of the specific professional titles and activities which it covers;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     who is entitled to use the professional titles concerned;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     whether the recognition mechanism is based on formal qualifications, a licence obtained in the jurisdiction of origin, or on some other requirement; and
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     whether the MRA allows temporary or permanent access to the profession concerned.
                  
               4.   Mutual Recognition Provisions
         
         The MRA should clearly specify the conditions to be met for the recognition of qualifications in each jurisdiction and the level of equivalence agreed.
         The following four-step process should be considered to simplify and facilitate the recognition of the qualifications.
         
            Four-Step Process for the Recognition of Qualifications
         
         
            Step One: Verification of Equivalency
         
         The negotiating entities should verify the overall equivalence of the scopes of practice or qualifications of the regulated profession in their respective jurisdictions.
         The examination of qualifications should include the collection of all relevant information pertaining to the scope of practice rights related to a legal competency to practice or to the qualifications required for a specific regulated profession in the respective jurisdictions.
         Consequently, the negotiating entities should:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     identify activities or groups of activities covered by the scope of practice rights of the regulated profession; and
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     identify the qualifications required in each jurisdiction. These may include the following elements:
                     
                                 (i)
                              
                              
                                 the minimum level of education required, for example, entry requirements, length of study and subjects studied;
                              
                           
                                 (ii)
                              
                              
                                 the minimum level of experience required, for example, location, length and conditions of practical training or supervised professional practice prior to licensing, or the framework of ethical and disciplinary standards;
                              
                           
                                 (iii)
                              
                              
                                 examinations passed, especially examinations of professional competency;
                              
                           
                                 (iv)
                              
                              
                                 the extent to which qualifications from one jurisdiction are recognised in the other jurisdiction; and
                              
                           
                                 (v)
                              
                              
                                 the qualifications which the relevant authorities in each jurisdiction are prepared to recognise, for instance, by listing particular diplomas or certificates issued, or by reference to particular minimum requirements to be certified by the relevant authorities of the jurisdiction of origin, including whether the possession of a certain level of qualification would allow recognition for some activities of the scope of practice but not others (level and length of education, major educational focuses, overall subjects and areas).
                              
                           
               There is an overall equivalence between the scope of practice rights or the qualifications of the regulated profession if there are no substantial differences in this regard between jurisdictions.
         
            Step Two: Evaluation of Substantial Differences
         
         There exists a substantial difference in the scope of qualifications required to practice a regulated profession, in cases of:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     important differences in the essential knowledge; or
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     significant differences in the duration or content of the training between the jurisdictions.
                  
               There exists a substantial difference in the scope of practice if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     one or more professional activities do not form part of the corresponding profession in the jurisdiction of origin;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     these activities are subject to specific training in the host jurisdiction; and,
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the training for these activities in the host jurisdiction covers substantially different matters from those covered by the applicant's qualification.
                  
               
            Step Three: Compensatory Measures
         
         If the negotiating entities determine that there is a substantial difference in the scope of practice rights or of qualifications between the jurisdictions, they may determine compensatory measures to bridge the gap.
         A compensatory measure may take the form of, among other things, an adaptation period or, if required, an aptitude test.
         Compensatory measures should be proportionate to the substantial difference which they seek to address. The negotiating entities should also evaluate any practical professional experience obtained in the jurisdiction of origin to see whether this experience is sufficient to remedy, in whole or in part, the substantial difference in the scope of practice rights or qualifications between the jurisdictions, prior to determining a compensatory measure.
         
            Step Four: Identification of the Conditions for Recognition
         
         Once the assessment of the overall equivalency of the scopes of practice rights or qualifications of the regulated profession is completed, the negotiating entities should specify in the MRA:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the legal competency required to practice the regulated profession;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the qualifications for the regulated profession;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     whether compensatory measures are necessary;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     the extent to which professional experience may compensate for substantial differences;
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     a description of any compensatory measure, including the use of any adaptation period or aptitude test.
                  
               5.   Mechanisms for Implementation
         
         The MRA should state:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the rules and procedures to be used to monitor and enforce the provisions of the agreement;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the mechanisms for dialogue and administrative co-operation between the parties to the MRA; and
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the means for individual applicants to address any matters arising from the interpretation or implementation of the MRA.
                  
               As a guide to the treatment of individual applicants, the MRA should include details on:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the point of contact for information on all issues relevant to the application, for example, the name and address of the relevant authorities, licensing formalities, information on additional requirements which need to be met in the host jurisdiction;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the duration of the procedures for the processing of applications by the relevant authorities of the host jurisdiction;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the documentation required of applicants and the form in which it should be presented;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     acceptance of documents and certificates issued in the host jurisdiction in relation to qualifications and licensing;
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     the procedures of appeal to or review by the relevant authorities.
                  
               The MRA should also include the following commitments by the relevant authorities:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     requests about the licensing and qualification requirements and procedures will be promptly dealt with;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     adequate time will be provided for applicants to complete the requirements of the application process and of any appeal to or review by the relevant authorities;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     exams or tests will be arranged with reasonable frequency;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     fees for applicants seeking to take advantage of the terms of the MRA will be commensurate with the costs incurred by the host jurisdiction; and
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     information will be supplied on any assistance programmes in the host jurisdiction for practical training, and any commitments of the host jurisdiction in that context.
                  
               6.   Licensing and Other Provisions in the Host Jurisdiction
         
         If applicable, the MRA should also set out the means by which, and the conditions under which, a licence is obtained following the determination of eligibility, and what a licence entails, for example, a licence and its contents, membership of a professional body, use of professional or academic titles. Any licensing requirements other than qualifications should be explained, including requirements relating to:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     having an office address, maintaining an establishment or being a resident;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     language skills;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     proof of good character;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     professional indemnity insurance;
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     compliance with host jurisdiction's requirements for use of trade or firm names; and
                  
               
                     (f)
                  
                  
                     compliance with host jurisdiction ethics, for example, independence and good conduct.
                  
               To ensure transparency, the MRA should include the following details for each host jurisdiction:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the relevant law to be applied, for example, regarding disciplinary action, financial responsibility or liability;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the principles of discipline and enforcement of professional standards, including disciplinary jurisdiction and any consequential effects on practicing professional activities;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the means for the ongoing verification of competence; and
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     the criteria for, and procedures relating to, revocation of the registration.
                  
               7.   Revision of the MRA
         
         If the MRA includes terms under which the MRA can be reviewed or revoked, the details should be clearly stated.
         8.   Transparency
         
         The Parties should:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     make publicly available the text of MRAs which have been concluded; and,
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     notify each other of any modifications to qualifications that may affect the application or implementation of an MRA. If possible, a Party should be given an opportunity to comment on the modifications of the other Party.
                  
               
      
         ANNEX 13-A
         
            CROSS-BORDER TRADE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
         
         
            Schedule of Canada
         
         Insurance and insurance-related services

            (2)  This means that once the European Commission has adopted the equivalence decision related to portfolio management and a Canadian financial institution has satisfied other European Union prudential requirements, this financial institution may provide discretionary portfolio management services to a European Union professional client without being established in the European Union. Furthermore, measures of Member States of the European Union restricting or prohibiting cross-border portfolio management including reservations in its Schedules to Annexes I and II shall no longer apply to this commitment.
      
      
         ANNEX 13-B
         
            UNDERSTANDING ON THE APPLICATION OF ARTICLES 13.16.1 AND 13.21
         
         The Parties recognise that prudential measures strengthen domestic financial systems, encourage sound, efficient and robust institutions, markets and infrastructure, and promote international financial stability by facilitating better-informed lending and investment decisions, improving market integrity and reducing the risks of financial distress and contagion.
         As a result, the Parties have agreed to a prudential carve-out in Article 13.16.1 allowing the Parties to adopt or maintain measures for prudential reasons, and have provided a role for the Financial Services Committee, established pursuant to Article 26.2.1(f), in determining whether, and if so, to what extent the prudential carve out applies in investment disputes in financial services pursuant to Article 13.21.
         
            Process relating to Article 13.21

                     The Financial Services Committee, in its role in investment disputes pursuant to Article 13.21, shall decide whether and, if so, to what extent the prudential carve-out is a valid defence to a claim.

                     The Parties undertake to act in good faith. Each Party shall present its position to the Financial Services Committee within 60 days of the referral to the Financial Services Committee.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     If the non-disputing Party notifies the Financial Services Committee within the 60 day period in paragraph 2 that it has launched an internal determination process on this matter, the period of time referred to in paragraph 2 is suspended until that Party notifies the Financial Services Committee of its position. A suspension beyond six months is considered as a breach of the good faith undertaking.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     If the respondent does not provide its position to the Financial Services Committee within the period of time referred to in paragraph 2, the suspension of the periods of time or proceedings referred to in Article 13.21.3 no longer applies and the investor may proceed with its claim.
                  
               
                  
                     5.
                  
                  
                     If the Financial Services Committee is unable to adopt a decision on a joint determination within 60 days in relation to a specific investor-state dispute concerning a prudential measure, the Financial Services Committee shall refer the matter to the CETA Joint Committee (1). This period of 60 days commences from the moment the Financial Services Committee receives the positions of the Parties pursuant to paragraph 2.
                  
               
                  
                     6.
                  
                  
                     The joint determination of the Financial Services Committee or of the CETA Joint Committee is binding on the Tribunal only in the dispute in question. The joint determination does not constitute a binding precedent for the Parties with respect to the scope and application of the prudential carve-out or other terms of this Agreement.
                  
               
                  
                     7.
                  
                  
                     Unless the CETA Joint Committee decides otherwise, if the CETA Joint Committee does not reach an agreement within three months of a referral of the matter by the Financial Services Committee pursuant to paragraph 5, each Party shall make its position available to the Tribunal that arbitrates the dispute in question. The Tribunal shall take into account this record in reaching a decision.
                  
               
            High level principles
         
         
                  
                     8.
                  
                  
                     The Parties agree that the application of Article 13.16.1 by the Parties and by tribunals should be guided by the following principles, which are not exhaustive:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 Party may determine its own appropriate level of prudential regulation. Specifically, a Party may establish and enforce measures that provide a higher level of prudential protection than those set out in common international prudential commitments;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 relevant considerations in determining whether a measure meets the requirements of Article 13.16.1 include the extent to which a measure may be required by the urgency of the situation and the information available to the Party at the time when the measure was adopted;
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 given the highly specialised nature of prudential regulation, those applying these principles shall defer to the highest degree possible to regulations and practices in the Parties' respective jurisdictions and to the decisions and factual determinations, including risk assessments, made by financial regulatory authorities;
                              
                           
                                 (d)
                              
                              
                                 
                                             (i)
                                          
                                          
                                             except as provided in subparagraph (ii), a measure is deemed to meet the requirements of Article 13.16.1 if it:
                                             
                                                         (A)
                                                      
                                                      
                                                         has a prudential objective; and
                                                      
                                                   
                                                         (B)
                                                      
                                                      
                                                         is not so severe in light of its purpose that it is manifestly disproportionate to the attainment of its objective; and
                                                      
                                                   
                                       
                                             (ii)
                                          
                                          
                                             a measure that otherwise meets the requirements of subparagraph (i) does not meet the requirements of Article 13.16.1 if it is a disguised restriction on foreign investment or an arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between investors in like situations;
                                          
                                       
                           
                                 (e)
                              
                              
                                 provided that a measure is not applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between investors in like situations, or a disguised restriction on foreign investment, that measure is deemed to meet the requirements of Article 13.16.1 if it is:
                                 
                                             (i)
                                          
                                          
                                             in line with international prudential commitments that are common to the Parties;
                                          
                                       
                                             (ii)
                                          
                                          
                                             in pursuance of the resolution of a financial institution that is no longer viable or likely to be no longer viable;
                                          
                                       
                                             (iii)
                                          
                                          
                                             in pursuance of the recovery of a financial institution or the management of a financial institution under stress; or
                                          
                                       
                                             (iv)
                                          
                                          
                                             in pursuance of the preservation or the restoration of financial stability, in response to a system-wide financial crisis.

                     The Financial Services Committee may, by consent of both Parties, amend this Understanding at any time. The Financial Services Committee should review this Understanding at least every two years.
                     In this context, the Financial Services Committee may develop a common understanding on the application of Article 13.16.1, on the basis of the dialogue and discussions held in the Committee in relation to specific disputes and mindful of international prudential commitments that are common to the Parties.
                  
               
            (1)  Each Party shall ensure that its representation in the CETA Joint Committee for this purpose includes financial services authorities.
      
      
         ANNEX 13-C
         
            UNDERSTANDING ON THE DIALOGUE ON THE REGULATION OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR
         
         The Parties reaffirm their commitment to strengthening financial stability. The dialogue on the regulation of the financial services sector within the Financial Services Committee shall be based on the principles and prudential standards agreed at the multilateral level. The Parties undertake to focus the discussion on issues with cross-border impact, such as cross-border trade in securities (including the possibility of taking further commitments on portfolio management), the respective frameworks for covered bonds and for collateral requirements in reinsurance, and to discuss issues related to the operation of branches.

                     For the Canadian Space Agency, the procurement of covered goods and services is limited to those related to satellite communications, earth observation and global navigation satellite systems. This commitment is in effect for a five-year period following the entry into force of this Agreement. The calculation of the five-year period includes the period of provisional application, if any. Before the end of the five-year period, Canada may notify the European Union that it is removing the temporary commitment. The notification takes effect at the end of the five-year period. If Canada does not provide such notification, the temporary commitment will become permanent.
                  
               
                     2.
                  
                  
                     Article 19.18 of this Chapter does not apply to the possible removal of the temporary commitment in this Note.

                     For the Provinces of Ontario and Québec, this Note applies to the procurement of mass transit vehicles. A mass transit vehicle refers to a street car, bus, trolley bus, subway car, passenger rail car or locomotive for subway or rail system used for public transportation.
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 Procuring entities in the provinces of Ontario and Québec, when purchasing mass transit vehicles, may, in accordance with the terms of this Chapter, require that the successful bidder contracts up to 25 per cent of the contract value in Canada.
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 Any lowering of such percentage of contract value decided by the Government of Canada or the province of Ontario or the province of Québec, as a result of an international agreement or in domestic law, regulation or policy, will replace the abovementioned percentage of 25 per cent on a permanent basis under this Chapter for that province and for the category of mass transit vehicle to which such new percentage applies. When applying this note, the provinces of Ontario and Québec must treat European Union bidders no less favourably than Canadian or other third country bidders.
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 The term ‘value’ refers to the eligible costs in the procurement of mass transit vehicles for components, sub-components and raw materials produced in Canada, including labour or other related services such as after-sale and maintenance services, as determined in the tender. It also includes all costs related to a final assembly of the mass transit vehicle in Canada. It will be for the bidder to determine which part of the contract value will be fulfilled through the use of Canadian acquired value. However, the province of Québec may require that final assembly takes place in Canada.

                     3.

                     For greater certainty, this Chapter shall be interpreted in accordance with the following:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 procurement in terms of Canadian coverage is defined as contractual transactions to acquire goods or services for the direct benefit or use of the government. The procurement process is the process that begins after an entity has decided on its requirement and continues through to and including contract award;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 where a contract to be awarded by an entity is not covered by this Chapter, Canada's Annexes to its Market Access Schedule shall not be construed to cover any good or service component of that contract;
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 any exclusion that is related either specifically or generally to central or sub-central entities or enterprises covered by Annexes 19-1 or 19-2, or Section A of Annex 19-3 will also apply to any successor entity or entities, enterprise or enterprises, in such a manner as to maintain the value of the coverage of Canada's Annexes to its Market Access Schedule for this Chapter;
                              
                           
                                 (d)
                              
                              
                                 services covered by this Chapter are subject to Canada's exclusions from and reservations to Chapters Eight (Investment), Nine (Cross-Border Trade in Services) and Thirteen (Financial Services);

                                 this Chapter does not cover procurement by a procuring entity on behalf of another entity where the procurement would not be covered by this Chapter if it were conducted by the other entity itself; and
                              
                           
                                 (f)
                              
                              
                                 this Chapter does not cover procurement by a procuring entity from a government entity.

                                 any procurement qualifying for a derogation pursuant to this Note shall:
                                 
                                             (i)
                                          
                                          
                                             be of a total value estimated at CAD$ one million, or less; and
                                          
                                       
                                             (ii)

                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 if the procurement meets the requirement of paragraph (b)(ii) but its total value exceeds CAD$ one million, the value of the part of the contract that would be affected by the derogation would not exceed CAD$ one million.

                                 each province or territory listed under paragraph (a) may not derogate pursuant to this Note more than ten times per year.

                                 a procurement shall not qualify for a derogation pursuant to this Note if it is funded by the federal government.

                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 the production of drinking water or electricity by the entity concerned takes place because its consumption is necessary for carrying out an activity other than that referred to in subparagraphs (a) to (d) of this Annex; and

                                 supply to the public network depends only on the entity's own consumption and has not exceeded 30 per cent of the entity's total production of drinking water or energy, having regard to the average for the preceding three years, including the current year.

                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 the production of gas or heat by the entity concerned is the unavoidable consequence of carrying out an activity other than those referred to in subparagraphs (a) to (d ) of this Annex; and
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 supply to the public network is aimed only at the economic exploitation of such production and amounts to not more than 20 per cent of the entity's turnover having regard to the average for the preceding three years, including the current year.

                     This Chapter shall not apply to procurements by procuring entities covered by this Annex for the purpose of activities relating to the exploitation of a geographical area for the purpose of exploring for, or extracting of, oil, gas, coal or other solid fuels.
                  
               
            (1)  According to the European Union utilities directive, a public undertaking is any undertaking over which the contracting authorities may exercise directly or indirectly a dominant influence by virtue of their ownership of it, their financial participation therein, or the rules which govern it.
         A dominant influence on the part of the contracting authorities shall be presumed when these authorities, directly or indirectly, in relation to an undertaking:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     hold the majority of the undertaking's subscribed capital;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     control the majority of the votes attaching to shares issued by the undertaking; or
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     can appoint more than half of the undertaking's administrative, management or supervisory body.
                  
               
            (2)  For greater certainty, it is noted that if and where such networks include the disposal and treatment of sewage, that part of the operation shall also be covered.
         
            (3)  As regards transport services, a network shall be considered to exist where the service is provided under operating conditions laid down by a competent authority of an European Union Member State, such as conditions on the routes to be served, the capacity to be made available or the frequency of the service.
         
            (4)  For the procurement of mass transit vehicles, Canadian bidders must be treated no less favourably than European Union bidders or other third country bidders. A mass transit vehicle refers to a street car, bus, trolley bus, subway car, light rail car or passenger locomotive for subway or light rail used for public transportation.
         
            (5)  ‘affiliated undertaking’ means any undertaking the annual accounts of which are consolidated with those of the procuring entity in accordance with the requirements of Council Directive 83/349/EEC on consolidated accounts, or in case of entities not subject to that Directive, any undertaking over which the procuring entity may exercise, directly or indirectly, a dominant influence, or which may exercise a dominant influence over the procuring entity, or which, in common with the procuring entity, is subject to the dominant influence of another undertaking by virtue of ownership, financial participation, or the rules which govern it.
         
            (6)  When, because of the date on which an affiliated undertaking was created or commenced activities, the turnover is not available for the preceding three years, it will be sufficient for that undertaking to show that the turnover referred to in this paragraph is credible, in particular by means of business projections.

                     For procuring entities covered under Annex 19-2, the thresholds will be SDR 355,000 when an entity procures consulting services regarding matters of a confidential nature, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to compromise government confidences, cause economic disruption or similarly be contrary to public interest.
                  
               
                     2.
                  
                  
                     This Chapter does not apply to services which entities have to procure from another entity pursuant to an exclusive right established by a published law, regulation or administrative provision.
                  
               
                     3.
                  
                  
                     The European Union stands ready, should the ongoing revision of European Union legislation on public procurement result in a widening of the scope of services and services concessions covered by that legislation, to take up negotiations with Canada in view of extending the mutual coverage of services and services concessions of this Chapter.

                     If the arbitration panel considers that there is a need to modify any time limit applicable in the proceedings or to make any other procedural or administrative adjustment as may be required for the fairness or efficiency of the proceedings, it shall inform the Parties in writing of the reasons for the modification or adjustment and of the period or adjustment needed. The arbitration panel may adopt such modification or adjustment after having consulted the Parties.

                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 after it has issued its interim report or in the case of a proceeding on a disagreement on equivalence under Article 29.14 or a proceeding under Article 29.15, only upon the request of both Parties for a period specified in the request, and shall resume its work at the request of either Party.
                              
                           If there is no request for the resumption of the arbitration panel's work by the end of the period specified in the request for suspension, the proceeding shall be terminated. The termination of the arbitration panel's work is without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in another proceeding on the same matter under Chapter Twenty-Nine (Dispute Settlement).

                     Where a Party considers that an arbitrator other than the chairperson does not comply with the requirements of the Code of Conduct, the Parties shall consult and, if they so agree, replace the arbitrator and select a replacement following the procedure set out in Article 29.7.3.
                     If the Parties fail to agree on the need to replace an arbitrator, any Party may request that such matter be referred to the chairperson of the arbitration panel, whose decision shall be final.
                     If, pursuant to such a request, the chairperson finds that an arbitrator does not comply with the requirements of the Code of Conduct, she or he shall draw a new arbitrator by lot from the names on the list referred to in Article 29.8.1 and on which the original arbitrator was included. If the original arbitrator was chosen by the Parties pursuant to Article 29.7, the replacement shall be drawn by lot from the individuals proposed by the requesting Party and by the responding Party under Article 29.8.1. The selection of the new arbitrator shall be made within five working days of the date of the submission of the request to the chairperson of the arbitration panel.

                     If the Parties fail to agree on the need to replace the chairperson, any Party may request that such matter be referred to the two remaining arbitrators. The decision by the arbitrators on the need to replace the chairperson shall be final.
                     If the arbitrators decide that the chairperson does not comply with the requirements of the Code of Conduct, they shall draw a new chairperson by lot among the remaining names on the list referred to in Article 29.8.1. The selection of the new chairperson shall be made within five working days of the date of the submission of the request referred to in this paragraph.
                     If the arbitrators cannot reach a decision within 10 days of the matter being referred to them, the procedure set out in Article 29.7 shall apply.

Further to paragraph 21 of Annex 29-B, the Code of Conduct of Arbitrators and Mediators applies to mediators.

         Article 4
         Rules of procedure for mediation
         1.   Within 10 days after the appointment of the mediator, the Party requesting the mediation procedure shall present, in writing, a detailed description of the problem to the mediator and to the other Party, in particular of the operation of the measure at issue and its trade effects. Within 20 days after the date of delivery of this submission, the other Party may provide, in writing, its comments to the description of the problem. Either Party may include in its description or comments any information that it deems relevant.
         2.   The mediator may decide on the most appropriate way of bringing clarity to the measure concerned and its possible trade-related impact. In particular, the mediator may organise meetings between the Parties, consult the Parties jointly or individually, seek the assistance of or consult with relevant experts (1) and stakeholders and provide any additional support requested by the Parties. However, before seeking the assistance of or consulting with relevant experts and stakeholders, the mediator shall consult with the Parties.
         3.   The mediator may offer advice and propose a solution for the consideration of the Parties which may accept or reject the proposed solution or may agree on a different solution. However, the mediator may not advise or comment on the consistency of the measure at issue with this Agreement.
         4.   The procedure shall take place in the territory of the Party to which the request was addressed, or, by mutual consent of the Parties, in any other location or by any other means.
         5.   The Parties shall endeavour to reach a mutually agreed solution within 60 days from the appointment of the mediator. Pending a final agreement, the Parties may consider possible interim solutions, especially if the measure relates to perishable goods.
         6.   The solution may be adopted by means of a decision of the CETA Joint Committee. Mutually agreed solutions shall be made publicly available. However, the version disclosed to the public may not contain any information that a Party has designated as confidential.
         7.   On request of the Parties, the mediator shall issue to the Parties, in writing, a draft factual report, providing a brief summary of the measure at issue in the proceeding, the procedure followed and any mutually agreed solution reached as the final outcome of the proceeding, including possible interim solutions. The mediator shall provide the Parties 15 days to comment on the draft report. After considering the comments of the Parties submitted within the period, the mediator shall submit, in writing, a final factual report to the Parties within 15 days. The factual report shall not include any interpretation of this Agreement.
         8.   The proceeding shall be terminated:
         
                     (a)

                     (b)
                  
                  
                     by a written declaration of the mediator, after consulting with the Parties, that further efforts at mediation would be to no avail;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     by a written declaration of a Party after exploring mutually agreed solutions under the mediation proceeding and after having considered any advice and proposed solutions by the mediator. Such declaration may not be issued before the period set out in Article 4.5 has expired; or
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     at any stage of the procedure by mutual agreement of the Parties.

         Article 5

         2.   The implementing Party shall inform the other Party in writing of any steps or measures taken to implement the mutually agreed solution.

         Confidentiality and relationship to dispute settlement
         1.   Unless the Parties agree otherwise, and without prejudice to Article 4.6, all stages of the proceeding, including any advice or proposed solution, are confidential. However, any Party may disclose to the public that mediation is taking place. The obligation of confidentiality does not extend to factual information already existing in the public domain.
         2.   The mediation proceeding is without prejudice to the Parties' rights and obligations under the provisions on Dispute Settlement in this Agreement or any other agreement.
         3.   Consultations are not required before initiating the mediation proceeding. However, a Party should normally avail itself of the other relevant cooperation or consultation provisions in this Agreement before initiating the mediation proceeding.
         4.   A Party shall not rely on or introduce as evidence in other dispute settlement proceedings under this Agreement or any other agreement, nor shall an arbitration panel take into consideration:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     positions taken by the other Party in the course of the mediation proceeding or information gathered under Article 4.2;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the fact that the other Party has indicated its willingness to accept a solution to the measure subject to mediation; or
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     advice given or proposals made by the mediator.
                  
               5.   A mediator may not serve as a panellist in a dispute settlement proceeding under this Agreement or under the WTO Agreement involving the same matter for which she or he has been a mediator.
         Article 7
         Time limits

            2.   Each Party shall take all possible measures to ensure that an enterprise that has been granted a monopoly in the trade and sale of wines and spirit drinks within its territory does not use its monopoly position to engage, either directly or indirectly, including through its dealings with its parent, subsidiaries or other enterprises with common ownership, in the sale of wine and spirit drinks in a market outside the territory where the enterprise has a monopoly position that causes an anti-competitive effect causing an appreciable restriction of competition in that market.’.

            JOINT DECLARATION ON WINES AND SPIRITS
         
         The Parties acknowledge the effort and progress that has been made on Wines and Spirits in the context of the negotiations of this Agreement. These efforts have led to mutually agreed solutions on a number of issues of high importance.
         The Parties agree to discuss through the appropriate mechanisms, without delay and in view to find mutually agreed solutions, any other issue of concern related to Wines and Spirits, and notably the desire of the European Union to seek the elimination of the differentiation of provincial mark-ups applied on domestic wines and wines bottled in Canada in private wine outlets.
         At the end of the fifth year following the entry into force of this Agreement, the Parties agree to review the progress made on the elimination of the differentiation referred to in the previous paragraph, based on the examination of all developments in the sector, including the consequences of any granting to third countries of a more favourable treatment in the framework of other trade negotiations involving Canada.

                     The European Union recalls the obligations of the countries that have established a customs union with the European Union to align their trade regime to that of the European Union, and for certain of them, to conclude preferential agreements with countries that have preferential agreements with the European Union.

                                 whose goods do not benefit from the tariff concessions under this Agreement,
                              
                           with a view to conclude a comprehensive bilateral agreement establishing a free trade area in accordance with the relevant WTO Agreement provisions on goods and services, provided that those countries agree to negotiate an ambitious and comprehensive agreement comparable to this Agreement in scope and ambition. Canada shall endeavour to start negotiations as soon as possible with a view to have such an agreement enter into force as soon as possible after the entry into force of this Agreement.

         Article 2
         General requirements
         1.   For the purposes of this Agreement, a product is originating in the Party where the last production took place if, in the territory of a Party or in the territory of both of the Parties in accordance with Article 3, the product:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     has been wholly obtained within the meaning of Article 4;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     has been produced exclusively from originating materials; or
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     has undergone sufficient production within the meaning of Article 5.
                  
               2.   Except as provided for in paragraphs 8 and 9 of Article 3, the conditions set out in this Protocol relating to the acquisition of originating status must be fulfilled without interruption in the territory of one or both of the Parties.
         Article 3
         Cumulation of origin
         1.   A product that originates in a Party is considered originating in the other Party when used as a material in the production of a product in that other Party.
         2.   An exporter may take into account production carried out on a non-originating material in the other Party for the purposes of determining the originating status of a product.
         3.   Paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply if the production carried out on a product does not go beyond the operations referred to in Article 7 and the object of this production, as demonstrated on the basis of a preponderance of evidence, is to circumvent financial or fiscal legislation of the Parties.
         4.   If an exporter has completed an origin declaration for a product referred to in paragraph 2, the exporter must possess a completed and signed supplier's statement from the supplier of the non-originating materials used in the production of the product.
         5.   A supplier's statement may be the statement set out in Annex 3 or an equivalent document that contains the same information describing the non-originating materials concerned in sufficient detail for their identification.
         6.   If a supplier's statement referred to in paragraph 4 is in electronic format, it does not need to be signed, provided that the supplier is identified to the satisfaction of the customs authorities in the Party where the supplier's statement was completed.
         7.   A supplier's statement applies to a single invoice or multiple invoices for the same material that is supplied within a period that does not exceed 12 months from the date set out in the supplier's statement.
         8.   Subject to paragraph 9, if, as permitted by the WTO Agreement, each Party has a free trade agreement with the same third country, a material of that third country may be taken into consideration by the exporter when determining whether a product is originating under this Agreement.
         9.   Each Party shall apply paragraph 8 only if equivalent provisions are in force between each Party and the third country and upon agreement by the Parties on the applicable conditions.
         10.   Notwithstanding paragraph 9, if each Party has a free trade agreement with the United States, and upon agreement by both Parties on the applicable conditions, each Party shall apply paragraph 8 when determining whether a product of Chapter 2 or 11, heading 16.01 through 16.03, Chapter 19, heading 20.02 or 20.03, or subheading 3505.10 is originating under this Agreement.

               Article 5
         Sufficient production
         1.   For the purpose of Article 2, products that are not wholly obtained are considered to have undergone sufficient production when the conditions set out in Annex 5 are fulfilled.
         2.   If a non-originating material undergoes sufficient production, the resulting product shall be considered as originating and no account shall be taken of the non-originating material contained therein when that product is used in the subsequent production of another product.
         Article 6
         Tolerance
         1.   Notwithstanding Article 5.1, and except as provided in paragraph 3, if the non-originating materials used in the production of a product do not fulfil the conditions set out in Annex 5, the product shall be considered an originating product provided that:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the total value of those non-originating materials does not exceed 10 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product;

                     any of the percentages given in Annex 5 for the maximum value or weight of non-originating materials are not exceeded through the application of this paragraph; and
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the product satisfies all other applicable requirements of this Protocol.
                  
               2.   Paragraph 1 does not apply to products wholly obtained in a Party within the meaning of Article 4. If the rule of origin specified in Annex 5 requires that the materials used in the production of a product be wholly obtained, the tolerance provided for in paragraph 1 applies to the sum of these materials.
         3.   Tolerance for textile and apparel products of Chapter 50 through 63 of the HS shall be determined in accordance with Annex 1.
         4.   Paragraphs 1 through 3 are subject to Article 8(c).

                                 If originating and non-originating fungible materials are used in the production of a product, the determination of the origin of the fungible materials does not need to be made through physical separation and identification of any specific fungible material, but may be determined on the basis of an inventory management system; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 if originating and non-originating fungible products of Chapter 10, 15, 27, 28, 29, heading 32.01 through 32.07, or heading 39.01 through 39.14 of the HS are physically combined or mixed in inventory in a Party before exportation to the other Party, the determination of the origin of the fungible products does not need to be made through physical separation and identification of any specific fungible product, but may be determined on the basis of an inventory management system.
                              
                           
               2.   The inventory management system must:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     ensure that, at any time, no more products receive originating status than would have been the case if the fungible materials or fungible products had been physically segregated;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     specify the quantity of originating and non-originating materials or products, including the dates on which those materials or products were placed in inventory and, if required by the applicable rule of origin, the value of those materials or products;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     specify the quantity of products produced using fungible materials, or the quantity of fungible products, that are supplied to customers who require evidence of origin in a Party for the purpose of obtaining preferential treatment under this Agreement, as well as to customers who do not require such evidence; and
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     indicate whether an inventory of originating products was available in sufficient quantity to support the declaration of originating status.
                  
               3.   A Party may require that an exporter or producer within its territory that is seeking to use an inventory management system pursuant to this Article obtain prior authorisation from that Party in order to use that system. The Party may withdraw authorisation to use an inventory management system if the exporter or producer makes improper use of it.
         4.   For the purpose of paragraph 1, ‘fungible materials’ or ‘fungible products’ means materials or products that are of the same kind and commercial quality, with the same technical and physical characteristics, and which cannot be distinguished from one another for origin purposes.

               Article 14
         Transport through a third country
         1.   A product that has undergone production that satisfies the requirements of Article 2 shall be considered originating only if, subsequent to that production, the product:
         
                     (a)

               Article 16
         Sugar
         1.   If a rule of origin requires that the net weight of non-originating sugar used in production not exceed a specified threshold, the product satisfies this condition if the total net weight of all mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in the product, or in the materials used in production, does not exceed this threshold.
         2.   The product also satisfies the condition in paragraph 1 if the threshold is not exceeded by the net weight of non-originating sugar classified in heading 17.01 or subheading 1702.30 through 1702.60 or 1702.90 other than malto-dextrin, chemically pure maltose, or ‘colouring’ caramel, as described in the explanatory notes to heading 17.02, when used as such in the production of:
         
                     (a)

Alternatively, the net weight of all mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in any of these sugar-containing materials may also be used. If the net weight of the non-originating sugar used in the production of these sugar containing materials or the net weight of mono-saccharides and di-saccharides contained in these sugar-containing materials is not known, the total net weight of these materials used as such in production must apply.
                  
               3.   The net weight of any non-originating sugar as referred to in paragraph 2 may be calculated on a dry weight basis.
         4.   For the purpose of the rules of origin for heading 17.04 and 18.06, the value of non-originating sugar refers to the value of the non-originating material referred to in paragraph 2 that is used in production of the product.

                     calculate the total cost incurred with respect to all products produced by that producer, subtract any sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs, royalty, shipping and packing costs, and non-allowable interest cost that is included in the total cost of all those products, and then reasonably allocate the resulting net cost of those products to the product;
                  
               
                     (b)

                     reasonably allocate each cost that forms part of the total cost incurred by that producer with respect to the product so that the aggregate of these costs does not include any sales promotion, marketing and after-sales service costs, royalty, shipping and packing costs, or non-allowable interest cost.
                  
               3.   For the purpose of calculating the net cost of a product under paragraph 1, the producer may average its calculation over its fiscal year using any one of the following categories, on the basis of either all motor vehicles produced by that producer in the category or only those motor vehicles in the category that are produced by that producer and exported to the territory of the other Party:
         
                     (a)

         4.   A Party may allow an origin declaration to be completed by the exporter when the products to which it relates are exported, or after exportation if the origin declaration is presented in the importing Party within two years after the importation of the products to which it relates or within a longer period of time if specified in the laws of the importing Party.
         5.   The customs authority of the Party of import may allow the application of an origin declaration to multiple shipments of identical originating products that take place within a period of time that does not exceed 12 months as set out by the exporter in that declaration.
         6.   An exporter that has completed an origin declaration and becomes aware or has reason to believe that the origin declaration contains incorrect information shall immediately notify the importer in writing of any change affecting the originating status of each product to which the origin declaration applies.
         7.   The Parties may allow the establishment of a system that permits an origin declaration to be submitted electronically and directly from the exporter in the territory of a Party to an importer in the territory of the other Party, including the replacement of the exporter's signature on the origin declaration with an electronic signature or identification code.

                     if required by the customs authority of the Party of import, provide for a statement accompanying or forming a part of the import declaration, to the effect that the products meet the conditions required for the application of this Agreement.
                  
               2.   An importer that becomes aware or has reason to believe that an origin declaration for a product to which preferential tariff treatment has been granted contains incorrect information shall immediately notify the customs authority of the Party of import in writing of any change affecting the originating status of that product and pay any duties owing.
         3.   When an importer claims preferential tariff treatment for a good imported from the territory of the other Party, the importing Party may deny preferential tariff treatment to the good if the importer fails to comply with any requirement under this Protocol.
         4.   A Party shall, in conformity with its laws, provide that, if a product would have qualified as an originating product when it was imported into the territory of that Party but the importer did not have an origin declaration at the time of importation, the importer of the product may, within a period of time of no less than three years after the date of importation, apply for a refund of duties paid as a result of the product not having been accorded preferential tariff treatment.
         Article 22
         Proof related to transport through a third country

         4.   Each Party shall permit, in accordance with that Party's laws, importers, exporters, and producers in its territory to maintain documentation or records in any medium, provided that the documentation or records can be retrieved and printed.
         5.   A Party may deny preferential tariff treatment to a product that is the subject of an origin verification when the importer, exporter, or producer of the product that is required to maintain records or documentation under this Article:

               Article 27
         Discrepancies and formal errors
         1.   The discovery of slight discrepancies between the statements made in the origin declaration and those made in the documents submitted to the customs authorities for the purpose of carrying out the formalities for importing the products shall not, because of that fact, render the origin declaration null and void if it is established that this document corresponds to the products submitted.
         2.   Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on an origin declaration shall not cause this document to be rejected if these errors do not create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in the document.
         Article 28

         1.   The Parties shall cooperate in the uniform administration and interpretation of this Protocol and, through their customs authorities, assist each other in verifying the originating status of the products on which an origin declaration is based.

         7.   If an exporter has based an origin declaration on a written statement from the producer or supplier, the exporter may arrange for the producer or supplier to provide documentation or information directly to the customs authority of the Party of export upon that Party's request.
         8.   As soon as possible and in any event within 12 months after receiving the request referred to in paragraph 4, the customs authority of the Party of export shall complete a verification of whether the product is originating and fulfils the other requirements of this Protocol, and shall:

                                 (iii)
                              
                              
                                 a description and explanation of the production sufficient to support the rationale concerning the originating status of the product;
                              
                           
                                 (iv)

                                 (v)
                              
                              
                                 where appropriate, supporting documentation; and
                              
                           
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     subject to its laws, notify the exporter of its decision concerning whether the product is originating.
                  
               9.   The period of time referred to in paragraph 8 may be extended by mutual consent of the customs authorities concerned.
         10.   Pending the results of an origin verification conducted pursuant to paragraph 8, or consultations under paragraph 13, the customs authority of the Party of import, subject to any precautionary measures it deems necessary, shall offer to release the product to the importer.
         11.   If the result of an origin verification has not been provided in accordance with paragraph 8, the customs authority of the importing Party may deny preferential tariff treatment to a product if it has reasonable doubt or when it is unable to determine whether the product is originating.
         12.   If there are differences in relation to the verification procedures of this Article or in the interpretation of the rules of origin in determining whether a product qualifies as originating, and these differences cannot be resolved through consultations between the customs authority requesting the verification and the customs authority responsible for performing the verification, and if the customs authority of the importing Party intends to make a determination of origin that is inconsistent with the written report provided under paragraph 8(a) by the customs authority of the exporting Party, the importing Party shall notify the exporting Party within 60 days of receiving the written report.
         13.   At the request of either Party, the Parties shall hold and conclude consultations within 90 days from the date of the notification referred to in paragraph 12 to resolve those differences. The period of time for concluding consultations may be extended on a case by case basis by mutual written consent between the Parties. The customs authority of the importing Party may make its determination of origin after the conclusion of these consultations. The Parties may also seek to resolve those differences within the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee referred to in Article 34.
         14.   In all cases, the settlement of differences between the importer and the customs authority of the Party of import shall be under the law of the Party of import.
         15.   This Protocol does not prevent a customs authority of a Party from issuing a determination of origin or an advance ruling relating to any matter under consideration by the Joint Customs Cooperation Committee or the Committee on Trade in Goods established under Article 26.2(a) (Specialised Committees) or from taking any other action that it considers necessary, pending a resolution of the matter under this Agreement.
         Article 30
         Review and appeal
         1.   Each Party shall grant substantially the same rights of review and appeal of determinations of origin and advance rulings issued by its customs authority as it provides to importers in its territory, to any person who:
         
                     (a)

               2.   Further to Articles 27.3 (Administrative proceedings) and 27.4 (Review and appeal), each Party shall provide that the rights of review and appeal referred to in paragraph 1 include access to at least two levels of appeal or review including at least one judicial or quasi-judicial level.

         Confidentiality
         1.   This Protocol does not require a Party to furnish or allow access to business information or to information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, the disclosure of which would impede law enforcement or would be contrary to that Party's law protecting business information and personal data and privacy.
         2.   Each Party shall maintain, in conformity with its law, the confidentiality of the information collected pursuant to this Protocol and shall protect that information from disclosure that could prejudice the competitive position of the person providing the information. If the Party receiving or obtaining the information is required by its laws to disclose the information, that Party shall notify the person or Party who provided that information.
         3.   Each Party shall ensure that the confidential information collected pursuant to this Protocol shall not be used for purposes other than the administration and enforcement of determination of origin and of customs matters, except with the permission of the person or Party who provided the confidential information.
         4.   Notwithstanding paragraph 3, a Party may allow information collected pursuant to this Protocol to be used in any administrative, judicial, or quasi-judicial proceedings instituted for failure to comply with customs related laws implementing this Protocol. A Party shall notify the person or Party who provided the information in advance of such use.
         5.   The Parties shall exchange information on their respective law concerning data protection for the purpose of facilitating the operation and application of paragraph 2.

                     (b)

                     a verification of origin;
                  
               
                     (b)

                     (c)

         6.   Each Party shall provide, to any person requesting an advance ruling, the same treatment as it provided to any other person to whom it issued an advance ruling, provided that the facts and circumstances are identical in all material respects.
         7.   The Party issuing an advance ruling may modify or revoke an advance ruling:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     if the ruling is based on an error of fact;
                  
               
                     (b)

               8.   Each Party shall provide that a modification or revocation of an advance ruling is effective on the date on which the modification or revocation is issued, or on a later date if specified in the ruling, and shall not be applied to importations of a product that have occurred prior to that date, unless the person to whom the advance ruling was issued has not acted in accordance with its terms and conditions.
         9.   Notwithstanding paragraph 8, the Party issuing the advance ruling may, in conformity with its law, postpone the effective date of a modification or revocation for no more than six months.

               TEXT OF THE ORIGIN DECLARATION
               The origin declaration, the text of which is given below, must be completed in accordance with the footnotes. However, the footnotes do not have to be reproduced.

               (Place and date)
               (5)
               (Signature and printed name of the exporter)
               (1) When the origin declaration is completed for multiple shipments of identical originating products within the meaning of Article 19.5, indicate the period of time for which the origin declaration will apply. The period of time must not exceed 12 months. All importations of the product must occur within the period indicated. Where a period of time is not applicable, the field can be left blank.
               (2) For EU exporters: When the origin declaration is completed by an approved or registered exporter the exporter's customs authorisation or registration number must be included. A customs authorisation number is required only if the exporter is an approved exporter. When the origin declaration is not completed by an approved or registered exporter, the words in brackets must be omitted or the space left blank.
               For Canadian exporters: The exporter's Business Number assigned by the Government of Canada must be included. Where the exporter has not been assigned a business number, the field may be left blank.
               (3) "Canada/EU" means products qualifying as originating under the rules of origin of the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. When the origin declaration relates, in whole or in part, to products originating in Ceuta and Melilla, the exporter must clearly indicate the symbol "CM".
               (4) These indications may be omitted if the information is contained on the document itself.
               (5) Article 19.3 provides an exception to the requirement of the exporter's signature. Where the exporter is not required to sign, the exemption of signature also implies the exemption of the name of the signatory.

                                    that a product is wholly obtained, the product must be wholly obtained within the meaning of Article 4 (Wholly Obtained Products). If a shipment consists of a number of identical products classified under tariff provision x, each product shall be considered separately;

                                    a change from tariff provision x, whether or not there is also a change from any other chapter, heading or subheading, the value of any non-originating material that satisfies the change in tariff classification specified in the phrase commencing with the words ‘whether or not’ is not considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. If two or more product-specific rules of origin are applicable to a heading, subheading, or group of headings or subheadings, the change in tariff classification specified in this phrase reflects the change specified in the first rule of origin;

                                    that the value of non-originating materials of tariff provision x does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, only the value of the non-originating material specified in this rule of origin is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance);

                                    that the value of non-originating materials classified in the same tariff provision as the final product does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, non-originating material classified in a tariff provision other than that of the product may be used in the production of the product. Only the value of the non-originating materials classified in the same tariff provision as the final product is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance);
                                 
                              
                                    (i)
                                 
                                 
                                    that the value of all non-originating materials does not exceed x per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product, the value of all non-originating materials is considered when calculating the value of non-originating materials. The percentage for the maximum value of non-originating materials as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance); and
                                 
                              
                                    (j)
                                 
                                 
                                    that the net weight of non-originating material of tariff provision x used in production does not exceed x per cent of the net weight of the product, the specified non-originating materials may be used in the production of the product, provided that it does not exceed the specified percentage of the net weight of the product in accordance with the definition of ‘net weight of the product’ in Article 1. The percentage for the maximum weight of non-originating material as set out in this rule of origin may not be exceeded through the use of Article 6 (Tolerance).

                        The product-specific rule of origin represents the minimum amount of production required on non-originating material for the resulting product to achieve originating status. A greater amount of production than that required by the product-specific rule of origin for that product also confers originating status.
                     
                  
                        10.
                     
                     
                        If a product-specific rule of origin provides that a specified non-originating material may not be used, or that the value or weight of a specified non-originating material cannot exceed a specific threshold, these conditions do not apply to non-originating material classified elsewhere in the Harmonized System.
                     
                  
                        11.
                     
                     
                        In accordance with Article 5 (Sufficient Production), when a material obtains originating status in the territory of a Party and this material is further used in the production of a product for which origin is being determined, no account will be taken of any non-originating material used in the production of that material. This applies whether or not the material has acquired originating status inside the same factory where the product is produced.

               (2)  The Parties agree to apply cumulation with the United States according to the following provisions:
            Provided that there is a Free Trade Agreement in force between each Party and the United States consistent with the Parties' WTO obligations and the Parties reach agreement on all the applicable conditions, any material of Chapter 84, 85, 87 or 94 of the Harmonized System originating in the United States used in the production of this product in Canada or the European Union will be considered as originating. Without prejudice to the outcome of the free trade negotiations between the European Union and the United States, the discussions on the applicable conditions will include consultations to ensure consistency between the calculation method agreed between the European Union and the United States and the method applicable under this Agreement for this product, if necessary.
            Accordingly the above rule of origin will cease to apply one year following the entry into application of such cumulation and the following rule of origin shall apply instead:
            Production in which the value of all non-originating materials used does not exceed 40 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.
            The application of cumulation and of the new rule of origin will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union for information purposes.
            
               (3)  See footnote 1.
            
               (4)  This rule of origin will cease to apply seven years after the entry into force of this Agreement. The following rule of origin shall apply instead:
            Production in which the value of all non-originating materials used does not exceed 45 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.
            Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to any applicable conditions agreed upon by the Parties, the following rule of origin shall apply when the cumulation provided for in Annex 5-A: Section D — Vehicles, Note 1 enters into application:
            Production in which the value of all non-originating materials used does not exceed 40 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.

                           The importing Party shall manage the origin quotas on a first-come first-served basis and shall calculate the quantity of products entered under these origin quotas on the basis of that Party's imports.

                           All exports under the origin quotas must make reference to Annex 5-A. The Parties shall not count any products against the annual origin quota without such reference.

                           If the European Union receives notification pursuant to paragraph 5(a), the European Union shall allow for only those products accompanied by such documentation to claim the preferential tariff treatment based on the alternative rule of origin specified in Annex 5-A.

                           The Parties shall administer the origin quotas on a calendar year basis with the full in-quota quantity to be made available on January 1st of each year. For the administration of these origin quotas in Year 1, the Parties shall calculate the quota volumes of these origin quotas by discounting the volume corresponding to the period running between the 1st of January and the date of entry into force of this Agreement.

                           The Parties shall review the origin quota in Table A.4 at the end of every five year period following the entry into force of this Agreement, provided that in any one year during the previous five year period, the origin quota fill-rate is at least 60 per cent.

                           The review will be conducted with a view to increasing the volume based on the examination of all relevant factors, in particular the fill-rate, growth in Canadian exports to the world, growth in total European Union imports, and any other significant trends in trade of the products to which the origin quota applies.

                           For each of the products listed in Table B.1, if more than 80 per cent of an origin quota assigned to a product is used during a calendar year, the origin quota allocation will be increased for the following calendar year. The increase will be 10 per cent of the origin quota assigned to the product in the previous calendar year. The growth provision will apply for the first time after the expiry of the first complete calendar year following the entry into force of this Agreement and will be applied for four consecutive years in total.

                           Any increase in the origin quota volume will be implemented in the first quarter of the subsequent calendar year. The importing Party shall notify the Party of export in writing if the condition in paragraph 1 is met, and if so, the increase in the origin quota and the date on which the increase is applicable. The Parties shall ensure that the increased origin quota and the date on which it becomes applicable are publicly available.

                  For products of heading 87.02 exported from Canada to the European Union, the following rule of origin applies as an alternative to the rule of origin provided in Annex 5:
               
               
                            
                        
                        
                           
                              A change from any other heading, except from heading 87.06 through 87.08; or
                           
                        
                     
                            
                        
                        
                           
                              A change from within this heading or heading 87.06 through 87.08, whether or not there is a change from any other heading, provided that the value of non-originating materials of this heading or heading 87.06 through 87.08 does not exceed 50 per cent of the transaction value or ex-works price of the product.
                           
                        
                     
                  This rule of origin will apply to the enterprises located in Canada and their successors and assigns producing products of heading 87.02 in Canada, as of the conclusion of negotiations on 1 August 2014.

                  Provided that there is a Free Trade Agreement in force between each Party and the United States consistent with the Parties' WTO obligations and the Parties reach agreement on all the applicable conditions, any material of Chapter 84, 85, 87 or 94 of the Harmonized System originating in the United States used in the production of a product of heading 87.02 of the Harmonized System in Canada or the European Union will be considered as originating.
               
               
                  Accordingly, the alternative Product-Specific Rules of Origin for products of heading 87.02 will cease to apply one year following the entry into application of such cumulation.

               JOINT DECLARATION CONCERNING RULES OF ORIGIN FOR TEXTILES AND APPAREL

                        Under this Agreement, trade in textiles and apparel between the Parties is based on the principle that double transformation confers origin, as reflected in Annex 5 (Product-specific rules of origin) of the Protocol on rules of origin and origin procedures.

                        Nevertheless, for a number of reasons, including the absence of a negative cumulative effect on the producers of the EU, the Parties agree to derogate from paragraph 1 by providing for limited, reciprocal origin quotas for textiles and apparel. These origin quotas are expressed in terms of volumes classified by product category, and includes considering dyeing as equivalent to printing, for a limited and clearly identified range of product categories.
                     
                  
                     
                        3.
                     
                     
                        The Parties affirm that these origin quotas, which are exceptional, will be applied in strict adherence to the Protocol on rules of origin and origin procedures.

                        Products originating in the Republic of San Marino shall be accepted by Canada as originating in the European Union within the meaning of this Agreement, provided that these products are covered by the Agreement on Cooperation and Customs Union between the European Economic Community and the Republic of San Marino, done at Brussels on 16 December 1991, and that the latter remains in force.

To that end, the Party shall promptly notify the other Party, in writing, of any such technical regulation that is adopted after the entry into force of this Agreement. If the other Party expresses an interest in including a new category of goods in Annex 1 but the notifying Party does not agree to it, the notifying Party shall provide to the other Party, upon request, the reasons that justify its refusal to expand the scope of the Protocol.
         4.   If the Parties decide in accordance with paragraphs 2 or 3 to include additional categories of goods in Annex 1, they shall request the Committee on Trade in Goods, pursuant to Article 18(c), to make recommendations to the CETA Joint Committee to amend Annex 1.
         5.   This Protocol does not apply:
         
                     (a)

                     if a Party has delegated exclusive authority to a single non-governmental body to assess conformity of goods with that Party's technical regulations;
                  
               
                     (e)

                     (f)
                  
                  
                     to the assessment of aviation safety, whether or not it is covered under the Agreement on Civil Aviation Safety between Canada and the European Community, done at Prague on 6 May 2009; and
                  
               
                     (g)
                  
                  
                     to the statutory inspection and certification of vessels other than recreational craft.
                  
               6.   This Protocol does not require the recognition or acceptance by a Party that the other Party's technical regulations are equivalent to its own.
         7.   This Protocol does not limit the ability of a Party to prepare, adopt, apply or amend conformity assessment procedures in accordance with Article 5 of the TBT Agreement.
         8.   This Protocol does not affect or modify the laws or obligations in the territory of a Party applicable to civil liability.

                                 the designation made in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 5 is not withdrawn by a Member State of the European Union; and

               3.   Each Party shall maintain and publish a list of recognised conformity assessment bodies which includes the scope for which each body is recognised. The European Union shall assign an identification number to conformity assessment bodies established in Canada that are recognised under this Protocol, and shall list those conformity assessment bodies in the information system of the European Union, namely the New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations (‘NANDO’) or a successor system.
         Article 4
         Accreditation of conformity assessment bodies
         The Parties recognise that a conformity assessment body should seek accreditation from an accreditation body that is in the territory in which the conformity assessment body is established, provided that that accreditation body has been recognised pursuant to Article 12 or 15 as able to grant the specific accreditation sought by the conformity assessment body. If there is no accreditation body in the territory of a Party that is recognised pursuant to Article 12 or 15 as able to grant a specific accreditation sought by a conformity assessment body established in the territory of that Party, then:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     each Party shall take such reasonable measures as may be available to it to ensure that accreditation bodies in its territory accredit conformity assessment bodies established in the territory of the other Party under conditions no less favourable than those applied to conformity assessment bodies established in its territory;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     a Party shall not adopt or maintain measures which limit the ability of accreditation bodies in its territory to accredit, or discourage those accreditation bodies from accrediting, on conditions no less favourable than those applied for the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies established in the recognising Party's territory, conformity assessment bodies established in the territory of the other Party;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     a Party shall not adopt or maintain measures requiring or encouraging accreditation bodies in its territory to apply conditions for the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies in the territory of the other Party that are less favourable than those applied for the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies in its territory.
                  
               Article 5
         Designation of conformity assessment bodies
         1.   A Party shall designate a conformity assessment body by notifying the contact point of the other Party and sending to that contact point the information described in Annex 3. The European Union shall allow Canada to use the European Union's electronic notification tool for those purposes.
         2.   Canada shall only designate a conformity assessment body that meets the following conditions and shall take reasonable measures to ensure that the conditions continue to be met:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body meets the requirements set out in Article R17 of Annex I to Decision 768/2008/EC, or the corresponding requirements in successor instruments, except that establishment under national law is interpreted as meaning Canadian law for the purposes of this Protocol; and
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     
                                 (i)
                              
                              
                                 the conformity assessment body is accredited, by an accreditation body appointed by a Member State of the European Union, as competent to assess conformity with the European Union technical regulations for which the conformity assessment body is being designated; or
                              
                           
                                 (ii)
                              
                              
                                 the conformity assessment body is accredited, by an accreditation body established in Canada that is recognised pursuant to Articles 12 or 15, as competent to assess conformity with the European Union technical regulations for which the conformity assessment body is being designated.
                              
                           
               3.   The Parties shall deem the applicable requirements of Article R17 of Annex I to Decision 768/2008/EC to be met when the conformity assessment body is accredited pursuant to either procedure described in subparagraph 2(b) and if the accreditation body requires, as a condition for granting the accreditation, that the conformity assessment body meet requirements equivalent to the applicable requirements of Article R17 of Annex I to Decision 768/2008/EC or the corresponding requirements in successor instruments.
         4.   If the European Union considers revising the requirements set out in Article R17 of Annex I to Decision 768/2008/EC, it shall consult Canada at the earliest stage of, and throughout, the review process with a view to ensuring that conformity assessment bodies in the territory of Canada continue to meet any revised requirements on no less favourable conditions than conformity assessment bodies in the territory of the European Union.
         5.   A Member State of the European Union shall only designate a conformity assessment body that meets the following conditions and shall take reasonable measures to ensure that the conditions continue to be met:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body is established in the territory of the Member State; and
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     
                                 (i)
                              
                              
                                 the conformity assessment body is accredited, by an accreditation body recognised by Canada, as competent to assess conformity with the Canadian technical regulations for which the conformity assessment body is being designated; or
                              
                           
                                 (ii)
                              
                              
                                 the conformity assessment body is accredited, by an accreditation body established in the European Union that has been recognised pursuant to Article 12 or 15, as competent to assess conformity with the Canadian technical regulations for which the conformity assessment body is being designated.
                              
                           
               6.   A Party may refuse to recognise a conformity assessment body that does not meet the conditions in paragraph 2 or 5, as the case may be.
         Article 6
         Objections to the designation of conformity assessment bodies
         1.   A Party may object to the designation of a conformity assessment body, within 30 days of the notification by the other Party pursuant to Article 5.1, if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the Party which designated the conformity assessment body failed to provide the information described in Annex 3; or
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the Party has reasons to believe that the conformity assessment body that is designated does not meet the conditions described in Article 5.2 or 5.5.
                  
               2.   Following any subsequent transmission of information by the other Party, a Party may object within 30 days of the receipt of that information, if the information remains insufficient to demonstrate that the designated conformity assessment body meets the conditions described in Article 5.2 or 5.5.
         Article 7
         Challenges to designations of conformity assessment bodies
         1.   A Party which has recognised a conformity assessment body under this Protocol may challenge the competence of that conformity assessment body if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the Party which designated the conformity assessment body failed to take the actions required by Article 11.3, following a notification by the other Party of the non-conformity with applicable technical regulations of a product that had been assessed as being in conformity with these technical regulations by that conformity assessment body; or
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the Party has reasons to believe that the results of conformity assessment activities performed by that conformity assessment body do not provide sufficient assurances that the products assessed by that body as conforming with applicable technical regulations are in fact in conformity with these technical regulations.
                  
               2.   A Party which challenges the competence of a recognised conformity assessment body under this Protocol shall immediately notify the Party which designated the conformity assessment body of the challenge, and provide the reasons for the challenge.
         3.   A Party that:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     has challenged the competence of a recognised conformity assessment body under this Protocol; and
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     has well-founded reasons to believe that the products assessed to be in conformity with applicable technical regulations by that conformity assessment body may fail to conform to its technical regulations,
                  
               may refuse to accept the results of that conformity assessment body's conformity assessment activities until the challenge is resolved or the recognising Party has ceased to recognise the conformity assessment body in accordance with paragraph 5.
         4.   The Parties shall cooperate and make reasonable efforts to resolve the challenge promptly.
         5.   Without prejudice to paragraph 3, the recognising Party may cease to recognise the conformity assessment body whose competence is challenged if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the Parties resolve the challenge by concluding that the recognising Party has raised valid concerns as to the competence of the conformity assessment body;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the Party which designated the conformity assessment body failed to complete the actions required by Article 11.3 within 60 days after being notified pursuant to subparagraph 1(a); or
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the recognising Party objectively demonstrates to the other Party that the results of conformity assessment activities performed by that conformity assessment body do not provide sufficient assurance that the products assessed by it as conforming with the applicable technical regulations are in fact in conformity with these technical regulations; and
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     the challenge has not been resolved within 120 days after the Party that had designated the conformity assessment body has been notified of the challenge pursuant to paragraph 1.
                  
               Article 8
         Withdrawals of conformity assessment bodies
         1.   A Party shall withdraw the designation, or modify the scope of the designation, as appropriate, of a conformity assessment body it has designated if the Party becomes aware that:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body's scope of accreditation has been reduced;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body's accreditation lapses;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body no longer meets the other conditions described in Article 5.2 or 5.5; or
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body is no longer willing, or is otherwise no longer competent or able, to assess conformity within the scope for which it was designated.
                  
               2.   A Party shall notify the other Party, in writing, of a withdrawal or modification of the scope of a designation under paragraph 1.
         3.   When a Party withdraws the designation or modifies the scope of the designation of a conformity assessment body owing to concerns about the competence or the continued fulfilment by that conformity assessment body of the requirements and responsibilities to which it is subject under Article 5, it shall communicate the reasons for its decision in writing to the other Party.
         4.   When communicating with the other Party, a Party shall indicate the date as of which it considers that any of the conditions or concerns enumerated under paragraphs 1 or 3 may have applied to the conformity assessment body.
         5.   Without prejudice to Article 7.5, the recognising Party may immediately cease to recognise a conformity assessment body as competent if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body's accreditation lapses;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body voluntarily withdraws its recognition;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the designation of the conformity assessment body is withdrawn pursuant to this Article;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     the conformity assessment body ceases to be established in the territory of the other Party; or
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     the recognising Party ceases to recognise the accreditation body that accredited the conformity assessment body pursuant to Article 13 or 14.
                  
               Article 9
         Acceptance of the results of conformity assessment by recognised conformity assessment bodies
         1.   A Party shall accept the results of conformity assessment activities performed by conformity assessment bodies established in the other Party's territory which the Party recognises in accordance with Article 3 under conditions no less favourable than those applied to the results of conformity assessment activities performed by recognised conformity assessment bodies in its territory. The Party shall accept these results regardless of the nationality and location of the supplier or manufacturer, or of the country of origin of the product for which the conformity assessment activities are performed.
         2.   If a Party has ceased to recognise a conformity assessment body established in the territory of the other Party, it may cease to accept the results of conformity assessment activities performed by that conformity assessment body from the date when it ceased to recognise that conformity assessment body. Unless the Party has reasons to believe that the conformity assessment body established in the territory of the other Party was not competent to assess conformity of products with the technical regulations of the Party prior to the date when the Party ceased to recognise that conformity assessment body, the Party shall continue to accept the results of conformity assessment activities performed by that conformity assessment body prior to the date when the Party ceased to recognise the conformity assessment body, even though the products may have been placed on the market of the Party after that date.
         Article 10
         Acceptance of results of conformity assessment by in-house bodies established in Canada
         1.   The European Union shall accept the results of conformity assessment activities performed by an accredited in-house body established in Canada under conditions no less favourable than those applied to the results of conformity assessment activities performed by an accredited in-house body established in the territory of one of the Member States of the European Union, provided that:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the in-house body established in Canada is accredited, by an accreditation body that has been appointed by one of the Member States of the European Union, as competent to assess conformity with those technical regulations; or
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the in-house body established in Canada is accredited, by an accreditation body that has been recognised pursuant to Article 12 or 15 as competent to assess conformity with those technical regulations.
                  
               2.   If, at the date of entry into force of this Agreement, Canada has no conformity assessment procedure providing for conformity assessment activities to be performed by in-house bodies and after the date of entry into force of this Agreement, Canada considers developing conformity assessment procedures providing for conformity assessment activities to be performed by in-house bodies, it shall consult the European Union at the earliest stage of, and throughout the rule-making process with a view to ensuring that in-house bodies established in the European Union can meet any requirements laid down in those provisions on no less favourable conditions than in-house bodies established in Canada.
         3.   Results pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be accepted regardless of the country of origin of the product for which the conformity assessment activities were performed.
         Article 11
         Market surveillance, enforcement and safeguards
         1.   Except for customs procedures, a Party shall ensure that activities performed by market surveillance or enforcement authorities for the inspection or verification of conformity with applicable technical regulations for products assessed by a recognised conformity assessment body established in the territory of the other Party or an in-house body which meets the conditions of Article 10, are conducted under conditions no less favourable than those conducted with respect to products assessed by conformity assessment bodies in the territory of the recognising Party. The Parties shall co-operate as necessary in the conduct of these activities.
         2.   If a product's placement or use on the market could compromise the fulfilment of a legitimate objective, a Party may adopt or maintain measures with respect to that product provided that they are consistent with this Agreement. These measures can include withdrawing the product from the market, prohibiting its placement or use on the market or restricting its movement on the market. A Party that adopts or maintains such measures shall promptly inform the other Party and, at the request of the other Party, provide its reasons for adopting or maintaining these measures.
         3.   A Party shall, upon receipt of a written complaint by the other Party, which must be supported by evidence, that products assessed by a conformity assessment body that the Party designated do not comply with applicable technical regulations:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     promptly seek additional information from the designated conformity assessment body, its accreditation body and relevant operators when necessary;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     investigate the complaint; and
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     provide the other Party with a written reply to the complaint.
                  
               4.   A Party may take the actions in paragraph 3 through an accreditation body.
         Article 12
         Recognition of accreditation bodies
         1.   A Party (‘recognising Party’) may, in accordance with the procedure described under paragraphs 2 and 3, recognise an accreditation body established in the territory of the other Party (‘nominating Party’) as competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies as, themselves, competent to assess conformity with the relevant technical regulations of the recognising Party.
         2.   The nominating Party may request that the other Party recognise an accreditation body established on its territory as competent by providing a notification to the recognising Party that includes the following information regarding that accreditation body (‘nominated accreditation body’):
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     its name, address and contact details;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     evidence that its authority is derived from the government;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     whether it acts on a non-commercial and non-competitive basis;
                  
               
                     (d)
                  
                  
                     evidence of its independence from the conformity assessment bodies it assesses and from commercial pressures, in order to ensure that no conflicts of interest with conformity assessment bodies occur;
                  
               
                     (e)
                  
                  
                     evidence that it is organised and operated so as to safeguard the objectivity and impartiality of its activities and the confidentiality of the information it obtains;
                  
               
                     (f)
                  
                  
                     evidence that each decision relating to the attestation of competence of conformity assessment bodies is taken by a competent person different from those who carry out the assessment;
                  
               
                     (g)
                  
                  
                     the scope for which its recognition is requested;
                  
               
                     (h)
                  
                  
                     evidence of its competence to accredit conformity assessment bodies within the scope for which its recognition is requested, referring to applicable international standards, guides and recommendations, and applicable European or Canadian standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures;
                  
               
                     (i)
                  
                  
                     evidence of its internal procedures to ensure efficient management and appropriate internal controls, including the procedures in place for documenting the duties, responsibilities and authorities of personnel who can affect the quality of the assessment as well as the attestation of competence;
                  
               
                     (j)
                  
                  
                     evidence of the number of competent personnel at its disposal, which should be sufficient for the proper performance of its tasks, and of the procedures in place for monitoring the performance and competence of the personnel involved in the accreditation process;
                  
               
                     (k)
                  
                  
                     whether or not it is appointed for the scope for which its recognition is requested in the territory of the nominating Party;
                  
               
                     (l)
                  
                  
                     evidence of its status as a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (‘ILAC’) or International Accreditation Forum (‘IAF’) multilateral recognition arrangements and to any related regional recognition arrangements; and
                  
               
                     (m)
                  
                  
                     any other information that the Parties may decide is necessary.
                  
               3.   The Parties recognise that differences may exist between their respective standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures. When such differences exist, the recognising Party may seek to satisfy itself that the nominated accreditation body is competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies as competent to assess conformity with the relevant technical regulations of the recognising Party. The recognising Party may satisfy itself based on the following:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     an arrangement establishing cooperation between the European and Canadian accreditation systems;
                     or, in the absence of such an arrangement,
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     a cooperation arrangement between the nominated accreditation body and an accreditation body recognised as competent by the recognising Party.
                  
               4.   Pursuant to a request made under paragraph 2, and subject to paragraph 3, a Party shall recognise a competent accreditation body established in the territory of the other Party under conditions no less favourable than those applied to the recognition of accreditation bodies established in its territory.
         5.   The recognising Party shall respond in writing within 60 days to a request made under paragraph 2, and provide the following information in its response:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     that it recognises the nominating Party's accreditation body as competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies for the scope proposed;
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     that it will recognise the nominating Party's accreditation body as competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies for the scope proposed following necessary legislative or regulatory amendments. Such a response must include an explanation of the amendments required and an estimate of the period of time required for the entry into force of the amendments;
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     that the nominating Party failed to provide the information described in paragraph 2. Such a response must include a statement of what information is missing; or

               6.   Each Party shall publish the names of the accreditation bodies of the other Party that it recognises, and for each accreditation body, the scope of the technical regulations for which it recognises that accreditation body.
         Article 13
         Cessation of the recognition of accreditation bodies
         If an accreditation body that is recognised by a Party pursuant to Article 12 ceases to be a signatory of a multilateral or regional arrangement referred to in subparagraph (l) of Article 12.2 or of a cooperation arrangement of the type described in Article 12.3, the recognising Party may cease to recognise that accreditation body as competent, as well as any conformity assessment bodies recognised on the basis that they were accredited solely by that accreditation body.
         Article 14
         Challenges to the recognition of accreditation bodies
         1.   Without prejudice to Article 13, the recognising Party may challenge the competence of an accreditation body that it has recognised under subparagraphs (a) or (b) of Article 12.5 on the grounds that the accreditation body is no longer competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies as, themselves, competent to assess conformity with the relevant technical regulations of the recognising Party. The recognising Party shall immediately notify the nominating Party of the challenge and shall justify its reasons in an objective and reasoned manner.
         2.   The Parties shall cooperate and make reasonable efforts to promptly resolve the challenge. If a cooperation arrangement referred to in Article 12.3 exists, the Parties shall ensure that the European and Canadian accreditation systems or bodies, referred to in Article 12.3, seek to resolve the challenge on behalf of the Parties.
         3.   The recognising Party may cease to recognise the nominated accreditation body whose competence is challenged and any conformity assessment bodies recognised on the basis that they were accredited solely by that accreditation body if:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     the Parties, including through the European and Canadian accreditation systems, resolve the challenge by concluding that the recognising Party has raised valid concerns as to the competence of the nominated accreditation body; or
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     the recognising Party objectively demonstrates to the other Party that the accreditation body is no longer competent to accredit conformity assessment bodies as, themselves, competent to assess conformity with the relevant technical regulations of the recognising Party; and
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     the challenge has not been resolved within 120 days after the nominating Party has been notified of the challenge.

         Article 12
         Equivalence of new regulatory authorities
         1.   A Party (‘requesting Party’) may request that a regulatory authority in its territory that is not recognised as equivalent to regulatory authorities in the other Party (‘evaluating Party’), be evaluated to determine whether it should be recognised as equivalent. Upon receiving the request, the evaluating Party shall conduct an evaluation pursuant to the procedure for evaluating new regulatory authorities under the GMP Administrative Arrangement referred to in Article 15.3.
         2.   The evaluating Party shall evaluate the new regulatory authority by applying the components of a GMP compliance programme under the Administrative Arrangement referred to in Article 15.3. The components of a GMP compliance programme must include such elements as legislative and regulatory requirements, inspections standards, surveillance systems and a quality management system.
         3.   If, upon completion of its evaluation, the evaluating Party determines that the new regulatory authority is equivalent, it shall notify the requesting Party in writing that it recognises the new regulatory authority as equivalent.
         4.   If, upon completion of its evaluation, the evaluating Party determines that the new regulatory authority is not equivalent, the evaluating Party shall provide to the requesting Party a written justification demonstrating that it has well-founded reasons for not recognising that the new regulatory authority is equivalent. At the request of the requesting Party, the Joint Sectoral Group on Pharmaceuticals (‘Joint Sectoral Group’) referred to in Article 15 shall consider the evaluating Party's refusal to recognise the new regulatory authority as equivalent, and may provide recommendations to assist both Parties to resolve the matter.
         5.   If, upon completion of its evaluation, the evaluating Party determines that the new regulatory authority is only equivalent for a more limited scope than that proposed by the requesting Party, the evaluating Party shall provide to the requesting Party a written justification demonstrating that it has well-founded reasons to determine that the new regulatory authority is only equivalent for the more limited scope. At the request of the requesting Party, the Joint Sectoral Group shall consider the evaluating Party's refusal to recognise the new regulatory authority as equivalent, and may provide recommendations to assist both Parties to resolve the matter.
         6.   A regulatory authority recognised as equivalent under the Agreement on Mutual Recognition Between the European Community and Canada, done at London on 14 May 1998, is recognised as equivalent under this Agreement from its entry into force.
         Article 13
         Equivalence maintenance programme
         1.   The Joint Sectoral Group shall develop an equivalence maintenance programme under the GMP Administrative Arrangement referred to in Article 15.3 to maintain the equivalence of the regulatory authorities. The Parties shall act in accordance with this programme when deciding whether to change the equivalence status of a regulatory authority.
         2.   If the equivalence status of a regulatory authority changes, a Party may re-evaluate that regulatory authority. Any re-evaluation must be undertaken pursuant to the procedure set out in Article 12. The scope of re-evaluation shall be limited to the elements that caused the change of the equivalence status.
         3.   The Parties shall exchange all the necessary information to ensure that both Parties remain confident that equivalent regulatory authorities are in fact equivalent.
         4.   A Party shall inform the other Party before adopting changes to its technical guidance or regulations relating to good manufacturing practices.
         5.   A Party shall inform the other Party of any new technical guidance, inspection procedures or regulations relating to good manufacturing practices.
         Article 14
         Confidentiality
         1.   A Party shall not publicly disclose non-public and confidential technical, commercial or scientific information, including trade secrets and proprietary information that it has received from the other Party.
         2.   A Party may disclose the information referred to in paragraph 1 if it deems such disclosure necessary to protect public health and safety. The other Party shall be consulted prior to disclosure.

                                 the Measures element is not so qualified, the Measures element shall prevail over other elements, unless a discrepancy between the Measures element and the other elements considered in their totality is so substantial and material that it would be unreasonable to conclude that the Measures element prevails, in which case the other elements shall prevail to the extent of that discrepancy.

                                 1.
                              
                              
                                 Except as set out in paragraphs 3 and 7, the Director of Investments will review a direct ‘acquisition of control’, as defined in the Investment Canada Act, of a Canadian business by an investor of the European Union if the value of the Canadian business is not less than CAD $1.5 billion, adjusted in accordance with the applicable methodology in January of each subsequent year as set out in the Investment Canada Act.
                              
                           
                                 2.
                              
                              
                                 Notwithstanding the definition of ‘investor’ in Article 8.1 (Definitions), only investors who are nationals of the European Union or entities controlled by nationals of the European Union as provided for in the Investment Canada Act may benefit from the higher review threshold.
                              
                           
                                 3.
                              
                              
                                 The higher threshold in paragraph 1 does not apply to a direct acquisition of control by a state-owned enterprise of a Canadian business. Such acquisitions are subject to review by the Director of Investments if the value of the Canadian business is not less than CAD $369 million in 2015, adjusted in accordance with the applicable methodology in January of each subsequent year as set out in the Investment Canada Act.
                              
                           
                                 4.
                              
                              
                                 An investment subject to review under the Investment Canada Act may not be implemented unless the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act advises the applicant that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. This determination is made in accordance with six factors described in the Act, summarised as follows:
                                 
                                             (a)
                                          
                                          
                                             the effect of the investment on the level and nature of economic activity in Canada, including the effect on employment, on the use of parts, components and services produced in Canada and on exports from Canada;
                                          
                                       
                                             (b)
                                          
                                          
                                             the degree and significance of participation by Canadians in the investment;
                                          
                                       
                                             (c)
                                          
                                          
                                             the effect of the investment on productivity, industrial efficiency, technological development and product innovation in Canada;
                                          
                                       
                                             (d)
                                          
                                          
                                             the effect of the investment on competition within an industry in Canada;
                                          
                                       
                                             (e)
                                          
                                          
                                             the compatibility of the investment with national industrial, economic and cultural policies, taking into consideration industrial, economic and cultural policy objectives enunciated by the government or legislature of a province likely to be significantly affected by the investment; and
                                          
                                       
                                             (f)
                                          
                                          
                                             the contribution of the investment to Canada's ability to compete in world markets.
                                          
                                       
                           
                                 5.
                              
                              
                                 In making a net benefit determination, the Minister, through the Director of Investments, may review plans under which the applicant demonstrates the net benefit to Canada of the proposed acquisition. An applicant may also submit undertakings to the Minister in connection with a proposed acquisition that is the subject of review. In the event of noncompliance with an undertaking by an applicant, the Minister may seek a court order directing compliance or any other remedy authorised under the Investment Canada Act.
                              
                           
                                 6.
                              
                              
                                 A non-Canadian who establishes or acquires a Canadian business, other than those that are subject to review, as described above, must notify the Director of Investments.
                              
                           
                                 7.
                              
                              
                                 The review thresholds set out in paragraphs 1 and 3, do not apply to an acquisition of a cultural business.
                              
                           
                                 8.
                              
                              
                                 In addition, the specific acquisition or establishment of a new business in designated types of business activities relating to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, which are normally notifiable, may be subject to review if the Governor in Council authorises a review in the public interest.
                              
                           
                                 9.
                              
                              
                                 An indirect ‘acquisition of control’ of a Canadian business by an investor of the European Union other than a cultural business is not reviewable.
                              
                           
                                 10.
                              
                              
                                 Notwithstanding Article 8.5 (Performance requirements), Canada may impose a requirement or enforce a commitment or undertaking in connection with the establishment, acquisition, expansion, conduct, operation, or management of any investment of an investor of the European Union or of a third country for the transfer of technology, production process or other proprietary knowledge to a national or enterprise, affiliated to the transferor, in Canada in connection with the review of an acquisition of an investment under the Investment Canada Act.
                              
                           
                                 11.
                              
                              
                                 Except for requirements, commitments or undertakings relating to technology transfer as set out in paragraph 10 of this reservation, Article 8.5 (Performance requirements) applies to requirements, commitments or undertakings imposed or enforced under the Investment Canada Act.
                              
                           
                                 12.
                              
                              
                                 For the purposes of this reservation, a ‘non-Canadian’ means an individual, government or agency thereof or an entity that is not Canadian; and ‘Canadian’ means a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, a government in Canada or agency thereof, or a Canadian-controlled entity as described in the Investment Canada Act.

                                 A corporation may place constraints on the issue, transfer and ownership of shares in a federally incorporated corporation. The object of those constraints is to permit a corporation to meet Canadian ownership or control requirements, under certain laws set out in the Canada Business Corporations Regulations, 2001, in sectors where Canadian ownership or control is required as a condition to receive licences, permits, grants, payments or other benefits. In order to maintain certain Canadian ownership levels, a corporation is permitted to sell shareholders' shares without the consent of those shareholders, and to purchase its own shares on the open market.

                                 The Canada Cooperatives Act provides that constraints may be placed on the issue or transfer of investment shares of a cooperative to persons not resident in Canada, to permit cooperatives to meet Canadian ownership requirements to obtain a licence to carry on a business, to become a publisher of a Canadian newspaper or periodical or to acquire investment shares of a financial intermediary and in sectors where ownership or control is a required condition to receive licences, permits, grants, payments and other benefits. Where the ownership or control of investment shares would adversely affect the ability of a cooperative to maintain a level of Canadian ownership or control, the Canada Cooperatives Act provides for the limitation of the number of investment shares that may be owned or for the prohibition of the ownership of investment shares.

                                 The Canada Business Corporations Act requires, for most federally incorporated corporations, that 25 per cent of directors be resident Canadians and, if such corporations have fewer than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian. As provided in the Canada Business Corporations Regulations, 2001, a simple majority of resident Canadian directors is required for corporations in the following sectors: uranium mining; book publishing or distribution; book sales, if the sale of books is the primary part of the corporation's business; and film or video distribution. Similarly, corporations that, by an Act of Parliament or Regulation, are individually subject to minimum Canadian ownership requirements are required to have a majority of resident Canadian directors.

                                 For the purposes of the Canada Business Corporations Act, resident Canadian means an individual who is a Canadian citizen ordinarily resident in Canada, a Canadian citizen who is not ordinarily resident in Canada who is a member of a class set out in the Canada Business Corporations Regulations, 2001, or a ‘permanent resident’ as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, S.C. 2001, c. 27, other than a permanent resident who has been ordinarily resident in Canada for more than one year after becoming eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.

                                 In the case of a holding corporation, not more than one-third of the directors need to be resident Canadians if the earnings in Canada of the holding corporation and its subsidiaries are less than five per cent of the gross earnings of the holding corporation and its subsidiaries.

                                 The Canada Cooperatives Act requires that not less than two-thirds of the directors be members of the cooperative. At least 25 per cent of directors of a cooperative must be resident in Canada; if a cooperative has only three directors, at least one director must be resident in Canada.

                                 For the purposes of the Canada Cooperatives Act, a resident of Canada is defined in the Canada Cooperatives Regulations as an individual who is a Canadian citizen and who is ordinarily resident in Canada; a Canadian citizen who is not ordinarily resident in Canada and who is a member of a class set out in the Canada Cooperatives Regulations, or a ‘permanent resident’ as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, other than a permanent resident who has been ordinarily resident in Canada for more than one year after becoming eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship.

                                 Under the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act, a ‘benefits plan’ must be approved by the Minister in order to be authorised to proceed with an oil and gas development project.

                                 A benefits plan means a plan for the employment of Canadians and for providing Canadian manufacturers, consultants, contractors and service companies with a full and fair opportunity to participate on a competitive basis in the supply of goods and services used in proposed work or activity referred to in the benefits plan.

                                 The benefits plan contemplated by the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act permits the Minister to impose on the applicant an additional requirement to ensure that disadvantaged individuals or groups have access to training and employment opportunities or can participate in the supply of goods and services used in proposed work referred to in the benefits plan.

                                 Provisions continuing those set out in the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act will be included in laws or regulations to implement accords with various provinces and territories, including implementing legislation by provinces and territories (for example, the Northwest Territories Oil and Gas Accord, the Canada-Quebec Gulf of St. Lawrence Petroleum Resources Accord, and the New Brunswick Oil and Gas Accord). For the purposes of this reservation these accords and implementing legislation shall be deemed, once concluded, to be existing measures.

                                 The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and the Canada-Newfoundland Atlantic Accord Implementation Act have the same requirement for a benefits plan but also require that the benefits plan ensures that:
                                 
                                             (a)
                                          
                                          
                                             the corporation or other body submitting the plan establishes in the applicable province an office where appropriate levels of decision-making are to take place, prior to carrying out work or an activity in the offshore area;

                                             expenditures be made for research and development to be carried out in the province, and for education and training to be provided in the province; and

                                             first consideration be given to goods produced or services provided from within the province, where those goods or services are competitive in terms of fair market price, quality and delivery.

                                 The Boards administering the benefits plan under these Acts may also require that the plan include provisions to ensure that disadvantaged individuals or groups, or corporations owned or cooperatives operated by them, participate in the supply of goods and services used in proposed work or activity referred to in the plan.

No increase in non-Canadian ownership is permitted.

                                 Banks are required to have a firm of accountants to be auditors of the bank. A firm of accountants must be qualified as set out in the Bank Act. Among the qualifications required is that two or more members of the firm must be ordinarily resident in Canada and that the member of the firm jointly designated by the firm and the bank to conduct the audit must be ordinarily resident in Canada.

                                 An insurance company, a cooperative credit association, and a trust or loan company require an auditor who can either be a natural person or a firm of accountants. An auditor of such an institution must be qualified as set out in the Insurance Companies Act, the Cooperative Credit Associations Act or the Trust and Loan Companies Act. If a natural person is appointed to be the auditor of such a financial institution, among the qualifications required is that the person must be ordinarily resident in Canada. If a firm of accountants is appointed to be the auditor of such a financial institution, the member of the firm jointly designated by the firm and the financial institution to conduct the audit must be ordinarily resident in Canada.

                                 1.
                              
                              
                                 The Canada Transportation Act, in section 55, defines ‘Canadian’ in the following manner:
                              
                           
                                 2.
                              
                              
                                 ‘… “Canadian” means a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident within the meaning of subsection 2(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, a government in Canada or an agent of such a government or a corporation or other entity that is incorporated or formed under the laws of Canada or a province, that is controlled in fact by Canadians and of which at least seventy-five per cent, or such lesser percentage as the Governor in Council may by regulation specify, of the voting interests are owned and controlled by Canadians…’
                              
                           
                                 3.
                              
                              
                                 Regulations made under the Aeronautics Act incorporate by reference the definition of ‘Canadian’ found in the Canada Transportation Act. These Regulations require that a Canadian operator of commercial air services operate Canadian-registered aircraft. These Regulations require an operator to be Canadian in order to obtain a Canadian Air Operator Certificate and to qualify to register aircraft as ‘Canadian’.
                              
                           
                                 4.
                              
                              
                                 Only Canadians may provide the following commercial air transportation services:
                                 
                                             (a)
                                          
                                          
                                             domestic services (air services between points, or from and to the same point, in the territory of Canada, or between a point in the territory of Canada and a point not in the territory of another country);

                                             scheduled international services (scheduled air services between a point in the territory of Canada and a point in the territory of another country) where those services have been reserved to Canadian carriers under existing or future air services agreements;
                                          
                                       
                                             (c)
                                          
                                          
                                             non-scheduled international services (non-scheduled air services between a point in the territory of Canada and a point in the territory of another country) where those services have been reserved to Canadian carriers under the Canada Transportation Act; and
                                          
                                       
                                             (d)
                                          
                                          
                                             specialty air services include aerial mapping, aerial surveying, aerial photography, forest fire management, fire-fighting, aerial advertising, glider towing, parachute jumping, aerial construction, heli-logging, aerial inspection, aerial surveillance, flight training, aerial sightseeing and aerial crop spraying.
                                          
                                       
                           
                                 5.
                              
                              
                                 No foreign individual is qualified to be the registered owner of a Canadian-registered aircraft.

                                 Further to the Canadian Aviation Regulations, a corporation incorporated in Canada, but that does not meet the Canadian ownership and control requirements, may only register an aircraft for private use where a significant majority of use of the aircraft (at least 60 per cent) is in Canada.
                              
                           
                                 7.
                              
                              
                                 The Canadian Aviation Regulations also have the effect of limiting foreign-registered private aircraft registered to non-Canadian corporations to be present in Canada for a maximum of 90 days per twelve-month period. The foreign-registered private aircraft shall be limited to private use, as would be the case for Canadian-registered aircraft requiring a private operating certificate.

                     All timber harvested from provincial land must be either used in the Province or manufactured within the Province into other goods. However, the Province may authorise an exemption to this requirement if the timber is surplus to the requirements of processing facilities in the Province, if it cannot be processed economically near the harvesting area and cannot be transported economically to another facility in the Province, or if an exemption would prevent waste or improve the utilisation of the wood.

                                    The Taxicab Act requires all persons seeking to operate a taxi or carry on a taxi business to apply for and obtain a taxicab business licence from the Taxicab Board. The Board has the power to impose terms and conditions on a taxicab business licence it issues. In deciding whether or not to grant a licence, the Board must apply tests of public convenience and necessity in respect of the number of taxicabs required in The City of Winnipeg.

                                    The Highway Traffic Act requires all persons seeking to operate a taxi across municipal boundaries to apply for and obtain a certificate from the Motor Transport Board. The Board has the power to impose terms and conditions on a certificate it issues. In deciding whether or not to grant a certificate, the Board must consider if the existing facilities for transportation are insufficient or that the public convenience will be promoted by the establishment or continuance from year to year of the proposed transportation service.

                     The Liquor and Gaming Control Authority of Manitoba has the discretion to grant licences to sell alcoholic beverages. If the applicant is an individual, the licence may only be issued to an adult natural person who is a Canadian citizen or has permanent residence status and resides in Canada. If the applicant is a partnership, all of its members must meet this requirement. If the applicant is a corporation, it must be incorporated or authorised to carry on its business in Manitoba under Manitoba law. If the applicant is incorporated under Manitoba law, 25 per cent of the corporation's directors must be residents of Canada (or at least one, if there are three or fewer directors).

                                 A heritage cultural property may include a heritage document, immovable, object or site.

Classified heritage property in the domain of the State may not be sold, conveyed by emphyteusis or given away without the Minister's authorisation. In other cases of alienation, prior written notice is required.

                     Under the International Registration Plan (‘IRP’), carriers only pay registration fees once, to the base jurisdiction, which in turn ensures travel for duly licenced vehicles in other jurisdictions. This system of apportionable fees works on the basis of the distance travelled in each jurisdiction. An IRP registration certificate is recognised by Canadian provinces and United States of America's states. An apportioned registration will only be granted to a person having a place of business in Québec and where at least one of its vehicles accrues kilometres.

                     In issuing bus transportation permits, the Commission des Transports du Québec may apply criteria of public need in the territory to be served. It may also consider if the issuance of the permit requested by the applicant is not likely to entail the disappearance of any other bus transport service or appreciably affect the quality thereof.

                                 The Minister of Transport determines the conditions that a heavy-vehicle operator located outside of Québec but in the territory of a party to the Agreement on Internal Trade must meet to register in the bulk trucking register. The total number of registration allowed is limited. A heavy-vehicle operator located outside of Québec has to maintain its principal establishment outside of Québec and its registration cannot be transferred.

                                 Participation in the performance of a road construction, repair or maintenance work contract awarded by the Minister of Transport, is limited to small bulk trucking enterprises that subscribe to the brokerage service of an association holding a brokerage permit, for a minimum of 50 per cent of the transportation required that has to be offered to the brokerage permit holder. Bulk trucking enterprises that are not registered into the register will only have access to the remaining 50 per cent of the transportation needed if the brokerage permit holder accepts the offer to transport 50 per cent of the transportation required.

                                 To obtain a brokerage permit, a non-profit legal person or a cooperative shall demonstrate that it represents at least 35 per cent of the operators of heavy-vehicles that are registered in the bulk trucking register and that have its principal establishment in the zone for which the permit is applied for. An operator shall subscribe for brokerage services in the brokerage zone where he or she has his or her principal establishment or in the zone determined by regulation.

                                 The Cooperatives Act places constraints on the issue, transfer and ownership of shares. Membership of the cooperative is subject to the member actually using the services offered by the cooperative and to the cooperative's ability to provide him with them. The Cooperatives Act also stipulates that every member of the cooperative or representative of a legal person or partnership that is a member may be a director. The head office of a cooperative, a federation or a confederation must at all times be located in Québec.

                                 A cooperative, a federation or a confederation must carry on with its members a proportion of its total business according to a percentage determined by government regulation. In the case of a solidarity cooperative, this proportion is calculated separately for the members who are users of the cooperative and for those who are workers of the cooperative.

                                 To obtain a liquor permit under the Act respecting liquor permits, persons who are not Canadian citizens must have been residing in Québec as a permanent resident of Canada, unless they apply for a reunion permit or ‘Man and His World’ permit as authorised representatives of a government, country, Province, or State.

                                 Companies or corporations not listed on a Canadian stock exchange may obtain a permit to sell alcohol only if all their partners or directors and shareholders who hold ten per cent or more of shares with full voting rights are Canadian citizens or have been residing in Québec as a permanent resident of Canada.

                                 For certain product categories, marketing is carried out by holders of a grocery licence issued by the Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux (‘RACJ’). Grocers must buy authorised alcoholic beverages from an authorised distributor.

                                 Liquor permit applicants who are not Canadian citizens must prove that they have lived in Québec for at least one year. If an applicant is a company or corporation not listed on a Canadian stock exchange, it must prove, for each of its partners or directors and shareholders who own 10 per cent or more of shares with full voting rights and are not Canadian citizens that they have lived in Québec for at least one year.

                                 The person entrusted to manage the establishment for a holder of a permit authorising the sale or service of alcoholic beverages for consumption on a premise must have a Canadian social insurance number.

                     The Real Estate Brokerage Act imposes residency requirements to brokers and agencies. Therefore, a broker must have an establishment in Québec. In the case of a broker who acts on behalf of an agency, the broker's establishment is the agency's establishment. An agency must have an establishment in Québec.

                                 At least 25 per cent of the directors of a corporation must be resident Canadians (such as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident), but if a corporation has fewer than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian.

                                 Directors of a corporation may appoint from their number a managing director who is a resident Canadian or a committee of directors and delegate to such managing director or committee any of the powers of the directors.

                                 Constraints may be placed on the transfer and ownership of shares in corporations. The object is to permit corporations to meet Canadian ownership requirements, under certain federal and provincial laws, in sectors where ownership is required as a condition to operate or to receive licences, permits, grants, payments, or other benefits. In order to maintain certain Canadian ownership levels, a corporation is permitted to sell shareholders' shares without the consent of those shareholders, and to purchase its own shares on the open market.

                                 Applicants for outfitting concessions, trapping concessions and wilderness tourism licences must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident who ordinarily resides in Canada. Outfitters must be in Yukon during the period when persons are hunting in his or her concession.

                                 An outfitting certificate is a yearly authorisation which gives permission to the holder to carry on the business of outfitting in a specific outfitting concession. An outfitting certificate is issued to a person who is a holder of the concession, or if requested, to an eligible corporation named by the outfitter. The corporation can then offer to provide guiding services to hunters. Assistant trapper's licences and trapping concessions are issued to Yukon residents only.

                     Aircraft used by EU air carriers must be registered in the Member State of the EU licensing the carrier or, if the licensing Member State of the EU so allows, elsewhere in the EU. To be registered, aircraft may be required to be owned either by natural persons meeting specific nationality criteria or by enterprises meeting specific criteria regarding ownership of capital and control.
                     By exception, aircraft registered in Canada may be leased by a Canadian air carrier to an air carrier of the EU under certain circumstances — for the air carrier of the EU's exceptional needs, seasonal capacity needs, or needs to overcome operational difficulties, which cannot reasonably be satisfied through leasing aircraft registered within the EU, and subject to obtaining the approval for a limited duration from the Member State of the EU licensing the air carrier of the EU.
                     For groundhandling services, establishment within the EU territory may be required. The level of openness of groundhandling services depends on the size of airport. The number of suppliers in each airport may be limited. For ‘big airports’, this limit may not be less than two suppliers. For greater certainty, this does not affect the EU's rights and obligations under the Agreement on Air Transport between Canada and the European Community and its Member States.
                     For airport operations, establishment within the EU is required. Airport operation services may be subject to individual concession or licence from public authorities. Special approval from the competent authority may be needed for the holder of the licence or the concession to transfer the operation licence or concession in total or in part to a third party.
                     With respect to computer reservation system (CRS) services, where EU air carriers are not accorded, by CRS services suppliers operating outside the EU, equivalent (meaning non-discriminatory) treatment to that provided in the EU, or where EU CRS services suppliers are not accorded, by non-EU air carriers, equivalent treatment to that provided in the EU, measures may be taken to accord equivalent treatment, respectively, to the non-EU air carriers by the CRS services suppliers operating in the EU, or to the non-EU CRS services suppliers by EU air carriers.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     According to the Lawyers Act, only EEA lawyers or lawyers of the Swiss Confederation are allowed to provide legal services through commercial presence. Cross border supply of legal services by Canadian lawyers (who must be fully qualified in Canada) is only authorised in respect of public international law and Canadian law.
                     For admission to the Bar, required for the practice of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU including representation before courts, nationality of a Member State of the EEA or the Swiss Confederation is required.
                     Equity participation and shares in the operating result of any law firm of Canadian lawyers (who must be fully qualified in Canada) is allowed up to 25 per cent; the rest must be held by fully fledged EEA lawyers or lawyers of the Swiss confederation) and only the latter may exercise decisive influence in the decision making of the law firm which is — according to Article 1a of the Lawyers Act — in Austria generally limited to certain forms of association.

                     The provision of privately funded university level education services in the area of applied sciences requires an authorisation from the competent authority, the Council for Higher education (Fachhochschulrat). An investor seeking to provide an applied science study programme must have his primary business being the supply of such programmes, and must submit a needs assessment and a market survey for the acceptance of the proposed study programme. The competent Ministry may deny an authorisation where the programme is determined to be incompatible with national educational interests.
                     The applicant for a private university requires an authorisation from the competent authority (the Austrian Accreditation Council). The competent Ministry may deny the approval if the decision of the accreditation authority does not comply with national educational interests.

                     A foreign-owned vessel may also be registered on the bareboat charter register (second Belgian register), subject to the consent of the authorities of the primary register, of the owner and of the relevant Belgian authorities.

                     Certain economic activities related to the exploitation or use of State or public property are subject to concessions granted under the provisions of the Concessions Act or other special concessions laws.
                     The activities of prospecting or exploration of underground natural resources on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria, in the continental shelf and in the exclusive economical zone in the Black Sea are subject to permission, while the activities of extraction and exploitation are subject to concession granted under the Underground Natural Resources Act.
                     It is forbidden for companies registered in preferential tax treatment jurisdictions (that is, off-shore zones) or related, directly or indirectly, to such companies to participate in open procedures for granting permits or concessions for prospecting, exploration or extraction of natural resources, including uranium and thorium ores, as well as to operate an existing permit or concession which has been granted, as such operations are precluded, including the possibility to register the geological or commercial discovery of a deposit as a result of exploration.
                     Commercial corporations in which the Member State or a municipality holds a share in the capital exceeding 50 per cent, cannot effect any transactions for disposition of fixed assets of the corporation, to conclude any contracts for acquisition of participating interest, lease, joint activity, credit, securing of receivables, as well as incurring any obligations arising under bills of exchange, unless permitted by the Privatisation Agency or the municipal council, whichever is the competent authority.
                     Without prejudice to Article 8.4, paragraphs 1 and 2, according to Decision of the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria of 18 Jan 2012, any usage of hydraulic fracturing technology that is, fracking, for activities of prospecting, exploration or extraction of oil and gas, is forbidden by Decision of the Parliament. Exploration and extraction of shale gas is forbidden.

                     The mining of uranium ore is forbidden by Decree of the Council of Ministers No. 163 of 20.8.1992.
                     With regard to mining of thorium ore, the general regime of concessions for mining applies. In order to participate in concessions for mining of thorium ore, a Canadian company must be established according to the Bulgarian Commercial Act and to be registered in the Commercial Registry. Decisions to allow the mining of thorium ore are taken on a non-discriminatory individual case-by-case basis.
                     The prohibition against companies registered in preferential tax treatment jurisdictions (that is, off-shore zones) or related, directly or indirectly, to such companies, from participating in open procedures for concessions for mining of natural resources includes uranium and thorium ores.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, including representation before courts.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     In so far as Canada and its territories and provinces allow Bulgarian lawyers to represent Bulgarian nationals under domestic law, Bulgaria will allow Canadian lawyers to represent a national of Canada under domestic law under the same conditions and in cooperation with a Bulgarian lawyer. For this purpose, foreign lawyers must be admitted to act as an attorney by a decision of the Supreme Bar Council and registered in the Unified register of foreign lawyers. Enterprises must be registered in Bulgaria as a lawyer partnership (‘advokatsko sadrujie’) or a law firm (‘advokatsko drujestvo’). The name of the law firm may only include the names of the partners, so a foreign firm would not be able to use its name unless the named partners were registered in Bulgaria as well.
                     Full admission to the Bar is allowed only for nationals of a Member State of the EU or for foreign nationals, who are qualified lawyers and have obtained their diploma providing the capacity to practice in a Member State of the EU. For procedural representation they shall be accompanied by a Bulgarian lawyer.
                     For legal mediation services, permanent residence is required.

                     The Council of Ministers may, for reasons of energy security, refuse to allow access to and exercise of the activities of prospecting, exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons to any entity which is effectively controlled by Canada or by nationals of Canada.
                     No entity may, after the granting of an authorisation for the prospecting, exploration and production of hydrocarbons, come under the direct or indirect control of Canada or a national of Canada without the prior approval of the Council of Ministers.
                     The Council of Ministers may refuse to grant an authorisation for the prospecting, exploration and production of hydrocarbons to an entity which is effectively controlled by Canada or a third country or by a national of Canada or a third country, where Canada or the third country does not grant entities of the Republic of Cyprus or entities of Member States of the EU, in relation to the access to and exercise of the activities of prospecting, exploring for and exploiting hydrocarbons, treatment comparable to that which the Republic of Cyprus or the Member State of the EU grants entities of Canada or that third country.

                     The Danish Act on Acquisition of Real Property applies to agricultural land, as the term ‘real property’ refers to all real estate and thus includes agricultural and rural land.
                     Only persons who have permanent residence in Denmark or who have earlier resided permanently in Denmark for at least five years are able to purchase real estate property in Denmark. This requirement also applies to enterprises, associations and other bodies, public or private institutions, foundations and charitable trusts that have no registered office in Denmark, and to foreign public authorities.
                     Other persons must apply to the Ministry of Justice for permission to purchase real estate property, which will be permitted if the applicant is going to use the real estate property as primary residence during the stay in Denmark or for self-employment in Denmark.
                     Purchase of real estate property which will be used as secondary residence or summer house for the applicant will be permitted only if the person concerned has particularly close relations or ties to Denmark.
                     The purchase of real estate property for enterprises, associations and other bodies, public or private institutions, foundations and charitable trusts that have no registered office in Denmark will be permitted where the acquisition is a prerequisite for the business activities of the purchaser.
                     The acquisition of agricultural land by private or legal persons is also governed by the Danish Act on Agricultural Real Estate (lov om landbrugsejendomme), which imposes restrictions on all persons, Danish or foreign, when acquiring agricultural property. Accordingly, any private or legal person, who wishes to acquire agricultural real estate, must fulfill the requirements in both laws.
                     An agricultural holding may be acquired by an individual, provided that the acquirer — or another person — takes permanent residence at the holding no later than six month following the acquisition. There is no limitation on citizenship.
                     If the acquirer is not a national of one of the Member States of the EU or the EEA, the acquirer must also have a permit from the Ministry of Justice, unless the acquirer actually lives in Denmark or formerly has lived in Denmark for at least five years.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, including representation before courts.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Ninety per cent of shares of a Danish law firm must be owned by lawyers with a Danish licence to practice or law firms registered in Denmark. Only lawyers with a Danish licence to practice may sit on the board or be a member of the management of a Danish law firm. The remaining ten per cent can be owned by other employees in law firms, who can also sit on the board and be part of the management of the firm.
                     Marketing of legal advisory services is restricted to lawyers with a Danish licence to practice.

                     When a foreign private port operator performs ship stevedoring services and other ship-related services at a Danish port in collaboration with a Danish municipal port, permission from the Minister of Transport is required according to the Harbours Act.
                     Municipal ports need permission from the Minister of Transport in order to perform ship stevedoring services and other ship-related services such as pilotage, towage etc. State ports are prohibited from performing these services.
                     The Harbours Act does not place restrictions on private port operators, thus foreign private port operators are not prohibited from performing ship stevedoring services and other ship-related services at Danish ports. However, foreign state and municipal port operators are subject to the restrictions of the Harbours Act.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of Estonian law, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     For legal services other than advisory services to clients related to their legal rights and obligations and providing information on legal matters, commercial presence is restricted to sole proprietorships or to law firms with limited liability, in which cases permission is needed from the Bar Association (Advokatuur).

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of French law, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar. Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA or ofthe Swiss Confederation may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of French law.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Respresentation before the ‘Cour de Cassation’ and ‘Conseil d'Etat’ is subject to quotas. In a law firm providing services in respect of French or EU law, at least 75 per cent of the partners holding 75 per cent of the shares shall be lawyers fully admitted to the Bar in France.

                     While other types of legal form are available for EU investors, foreign investors only have access to the legal forms of ‘société d'exercice liberal’ and ‘société civile professionnelle’.
                     For medical, dental and midwives services, French nationality is required. However, access by foreigners is possible within annually established quotas.
                     For medical, dental and midwives services and services by nurses, provision through anonyme, à responsabilité limitée ou en commandite par actions (SEL) or SCP only.
                     For hospital and ambulance services, residential health facilities (other than hospital services) and social services, an authorisation is necessary in order to exercise management functions. The authorisation process takes into account the availability of local managers.

                     Foreign investors that are not nationals of a Member State of the EU or not incorporated or having their principal office in the EU or the EEA, cannot own 50 per cent or more of a French flag seagoing vessel.
                     The above reservation does not apply to ships that would satisfy the French flag ownership requirements after the exercise of a lease-option. It also does not apply to a ship that is bareboat chartered to a charterer that would satisfy the ownership requirements and is actually making use of the ship.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of German law, including representation before courts. Only EEA or Swiss lawyers may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of German law (EuRAG).
                     Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     According to the Federal Lawyers Order (§§ 59e, 59f BRAO), only German lawyers, EEA lawyers, EU lawyers or lawyers of the Swiss Confederation are allowed to provide legal services through commercial presence, in the form of a Anwalts-GmbH or Anwalt-AG. Lawyers from other countries (§ 206 BRAO) may have their commercial presence in the form of Anwalts-GmbH or Anwalt-AG by acquiring minority shares only.

                     Third country patent lawyers (non-EU, EEA Member States or the Swiss Confederation) are not allowed to act as patent lawyers (§ 154a PAO) in Germany.
                     According to the Patentanwaltsordnung (§§ 52e, 52f PAO), only German patent lawyers, EEA patent lawyers, EU patent lawyers or patent lawyers of the Swiss Confederation are allowed to provide legal services through commercial presence, in the form of a Patentanwalts-GmbH or Patentanwalt-AG. Patent Lawyers from other countries (§ 154a PAO) may have their commercial presence in the form of Patentanwalts-GmbH or Patentanwalt-AG by acquiring minority shares only.

                     Auditing companies (‘Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften’) may only adopt certain German legal forms. Incorporated companies, associations limited by shares, limited liability companies, general partnerships, limited commercial partnerships, other partnerships and European companies (SE) may be recognised as ‘Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften’. General partnerships and limited commercial partnerships may be recognised as ‘Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaften’ if they are listed as trading partnerships in the commercial register on the basis of their fiduciary activities, art. 27 WPO. The entity ‘GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft’ may carry out accounting and auditing services.
                     Establishment in the EU is required in order to provide auditing services. However, auditors from Canada registered in accordance with art. 134 WPO may carry out the statutory audit of annual financial statements or provide the consolidated financial statements of a company with its headquarters outside the EU, whose transferable securities are offered for trading in a regulated market.

                     Geographical restrictions may be imposed on professional registration, which apply to nationals and non-nationals alike. Doctors (including psychologists, psychotherapists, and dentists) need to register with the regional associations of statutory health insurance physicians or dentists (kassenärztliche or zahnärztliche Vereinigungen), if they wish to treat patients insured by the statutory sickness funds. This registration can be subject to quantitative restrictions based on the regional distribution of doctors. For dentists this restriction does not apply. Registration is necessary only for doctors participating in the public health scheme. Non-discriminatory restrictions on the legal form of establishment required to provide these services may exist (§ 95 SGB V).
                     For medical, dental and midwives services, access is restricted to natural persons only.
                     Establishment requirements may apply.
                     Telemedicine may only be provided in the context of a primary treatment involving the prior physical presence of a doctor.
                     The number of ICT (information and communications technology) -service suppliers may be limited to guarantee interoperability, compatibility and necessary safety standards. This is applied in a non-discriminatory way.

                     Rescue services and ‘qualified ambulance services’ are organised and regulated by the Länder. Most Länder delegate competences in the field of rescue services to municipalities. Municipalities are allowed to give priority to not-for-profit operators. This applies equally to foreign as well as domestic service suppliers. Ambulance services are subject to planning, permission and accreditation.
                     Telemedicine may only be provided in the context of a primary treatment involving the prior physical presence of a doctor.
                     The number of ICT (information and communications technology)-service suppliers may be limited to guarantee interoperability, compatibility and necessary safety standards. This is applied in a non-discriminatory way.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, including representation before courts. Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA or of the Swiss Confederation may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of domestic law.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of Hungarian law, including representation before courts. Full admission to the Bar is subject to a nationality condition, coupled with a residency requirement.
                     Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of domestic law.
                     Commercial presence should take the form of partnership with a Hungarian barrister (ügyvéd) or a barrister's office (ügyvédi iroda).
                     For foreign lawyers, the scope of legal activities is limited to the provision of legal advice on home country and international law, which shall take place on the basis of a collaboration contract concluded with a Hungarian attorney or a law firm.

                     A Prospecting License gives the holder the right to explore for certain specific minerals. Only holders of current Prospecting Licenses are considered for State Mining Leases or Licenses to develop such minerals within the lease or licence area, whether the minerals are State-owned or privately-owned.
                     Exploration and mining companies operating in Ireland are required to have a presence there. In the case of minerals exploration, there is a requirement that companies (Irish and foreign) employ either the services of an agent or a resident exploration manager in Ireland while work is being undertaken. In the case of mining, it is a requirement that a State Mining Lease or License be held by a company incorporated in Ireland, which has power in its memorandum of association to comply with the various covenants in the Lease or License.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of Irish law, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Lawyers in Ireland are divided into two distinct categories: solicitors and barristers. The Law Society of Ireland is the statutory legal professional body that governs admission of solicitors in Ireland. The Honorable Society of King's Inns governs the admission of barristers in Ireland.

                     Mines belonging to the State have specific exploration and mining rules. Prior to any exploitation activity, a permit for exploration is needed (‘permesso di ricerca’, art. 4 Royal Decree 1443/1927).

                     An authorisation is needed to open a pharmacy which is subject to an economic needs test. Main criteria: population and geographical density of existing pharmacies.

                     The practice of the profession is possible only for natural persons enrolled in the register, as well as for juridical persons in the form of partnerships, where every partner of the company must be an enrolled pharmacist. Enrolment in the pharmacist professional register requires nationality of a Member State of the EU or residency and the practice of the profession in Italy.
                     Foreign nationals having the necessary qualifications may enrol if they are citizens of a country with whom Italy has a special agreement, authorising the exercise of the profession, under condition of reciprocity (D. Lgsl. CPS 233/1946 arts. 7-9 and D.P.R. 221/1950 pars. 3 and 7).

                     In order to be authorised to manage the securities settlement system or central securities depository services with an establishment in Italy, a company is required to be incorporated in Italy (no branches).
                     In the case of collective investment schemes other than undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (‘UCITS’) harmonised under EU legislation, the trustee or depository is required to be incorporated in Italy or in another Member State of the EU and established through a branch in Italy. Management enterprises of UCITS not harmonised under EU legislation are also required to be incorporated in Italy (no branches).
                     Only banks, insurance enterprises, investment firms and enterprises managing UCITS harmonised under EU legislation having their legal head office in the EU, as well as UCITS incorporated in Italy may carry out the activity of pension fund resources management.
                     In providing the activity of door-to-door selling, intermediaries must utilise authorised financial salesmen resident within the territory of a Member State of the EU.
                     Representative offices of non-EU intermediaries cannot carry out activities aimed at providing investment services, including trading for own account and for account of customers, placement and underwriting of financial instruments (branch required).

                     In order to obtain full admission to the Bar, which is required to practice as a sworn solicitor or as an assistant of a sworn solicitor, Latvian nationality is required. Sworn solicitors who are nationals of a Member State of the EU, and who have registered in the Latvian Council of Sworn Advocates, have the right to participate and vote in the General Meeting of Sworn Advocates.
                     Providing domestic legal services (the services of an advocate and legal representation in criminal proceedings) in Latvia in accordance with its law is only permitted by:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 a sworn solicitor or an assistant of a sworn solicitor holding Latvian nationality; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 a national of a Member State of the EU who has been designated as an advocate in one of the Member States of the EU; or
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 a foreign advocate, in the framework of an agreement on legal assistance concluded between Latvia and the relevant foreign country.
                              
                           For advocates of a Member State of the EU or foreign advocates, special requirements exist. For example, participation in court proceedings in criminal cases is only permitted in association with an advocate of the Latvian Collegium of Sworn Advocates.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, including representation before courts.
                     To provide legal services in respect of EU law and the law of a Member State of the EU, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA or of the Swiss Confederation may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of domestic law.
                     Attorneys from foreign countries can act as advocates in court only in accordance with bilateral agreements on legal assistance.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of Maltese law, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     To provide legal services in respect of Maltese law, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA or of the Swiss Confederation may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of Maltese law.

                     For storage services of frozen or refrigerated goods and bulk storage services of liquids or gases at airports, the possibility to supply certain categories of services will depend on the size of the airport.

                     For airport operation services, foreign participation is limited to 49 per cent.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to practice Portuguese law. The recognition of qualifications to practice Portuguese law is subject to a condition of reciprocity.
                     To provide legal services, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Only law firms where the shares belong exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Portuguese Bar can practice in Portugal; access to the profession of ‘solicitadores’ is subject to a requirement of nationality of a Member State of the EU.

                     Full admission to the Bar is required for the practice of legal services in respect of Slovakian law, including representation before courts. Residency (commercial presence) is required in order to obtain full admission to the Bar.
                     To provide legal services in respect of Slovakian law, commercial presence may be required to take one of the legal forms which are allowed under national law on a non-discriminatory basis. Some types of legal form may be reserved exclusively to lawyers admitted to the Bar, also on a non-discriminatory basis.
                     Only nationals of a Member State of the EEA or of the Swiss Confederation may be admitted to the Bar, and are thus entitled to provide legal services in respect of Slovakian law.

                     A foreign company, which has not established a legal entity in Sweden or is conducting its business through a commercial agent, shall conduct its commercial operations through a branch, registered in Sweden, with independent management and separate accounts. The managing director and the vice-managing director, if appointed, of the branch, must reside in the EEA. A natural person not resident in the EEA, who conducts commercial operations in Sweden, shall appoint and register a resident representative responsible for the operations in Sweden. Separate accounts shall be kept for the operations in Sweden. The competent authority may in individual cases grant exemptions from the branch and residency requirements. Building projects with duration of less than a year — conducted by a company located or a natural person residing outside the EEA — are exempted from the requirements of establishing a branch or appointing a resident representative.
                     A Swedish limited liability company may be established by a natural person resident within the EEA, by a Swedish legal person or by a legal person that has been formed according to the legislation in a state within the EEA and that has its registered office, headquarters or principal place of business within the EEA. A partnership may be a founder, only if all owners with unlimited personal liability are resident within the EEA. Founders outside the EEA may apply for permission from the competent authority.
                     For limited liability companies and co-operative economic associations, at least 50 per cent of the members of the board of directors, at least 50 per cent of the deputy board members, the managing director, the vice-managing director, and at least one of the persons authorised to sign for the company, if any, must reside within the EEA. The competent authority may grant exemptions from this requirement. If none of the company's or society's representatives reside in Sweden, the board must appoint and register a person resident in Sweden, who has been authorised to receive servings on behalf of the company or society.
                     Corresponding conditions prevail for establishment of all other types of legal entities.

                     Professional fishing is fishing with a professional fishing licence or fishing by foreign fishermen holding a specific permit to fish professionally in Swedish territorial waters or in the Swedish economic zone.
                     A professional fishing licence may be given to a fisherman for whom fishing is essential to his living and where the fishing has a connection to the Swedish fishing industry. A connection to Swedish fishing industry could for example be demonstrated if the fishermen lands half his catch during a calendar year (in value) in Sweden, if half the fishing trips depart from a Swedish harbour or half of the fishermen in the fleet are domiciled in Sweden.
                     For vessels over five meters, a vessel permit is needed together with the professional fishing licence. A permit is granted if, among other things, the vessel is registered in the national registry, the vessel has a real economic connection to Sweden, the permit holder is a fisherman with a professional fishing licence and if the commander of the vessel is a fisherman with a professional fishing licence.
                     The commander of a fishing vessel over 20 gross tonnages shall be a national of a Member State of the EEA. Exemptions may be granted by the Swedish Transport Agency.
                     A ship shall be deemed Swedish and can carry the Swedish flag if more than half is owned by Swedish citizens or juridical persons. The Government may permit foreign vessels to fly the Swedish flag where their operations are under Swedish control or the owner can demonstrate that he has his permanent residence in Sweden. Vessels which are 50 per cent owned by nationals of a Member State of the EEA or companies having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business in the EEA and whose operation is controlled from Sweden, may also be registered in the Swedish register.

                     For admission to the Bar, which is required only for the use of the Swedish title ‘advokat’, residency within the EU, EEA or the Swiss Confederation is required. Exemptions may be granted by the board of the Swedish Bar Association. Admission to the Bar is not necessary for the practice of domestic law.
                     A member of the Swedish Bar Association may not be employed by anyone other than a Bar member or a company conducting the business of a Bar member. However, a member of the Bar may be employed by a foreign company conducting the business of an advocate, provided that the company in question is domiciled in a country within the EU, the EEA or the Swiss Confederation.
                     Members conducting their practice in the form of a company or a partnership may not have any other objective and may not carry out any other business than the practice of an advocate. Collaboration with other advocate businesses is permitted, however, collaboration with foreign businesses requires permission by the Board of the Bar Association.
                     Only a Member may directly or indirectly, or through a company, practice as an advocate, own shares in the company or be a partner. Only a Member may be a member or deputy member of the board or deputy managing director, or an authorised signatory or secretary of the company or the partnership.

                     Only auditors approved in Sweden, authorised auditors and registered auditing firms may perform statutory auditing services in certain legal entities, including in all limited companies, as well as for natural persons.
                     Only auditors approved in Sweden, and registered public accounting firms, may be shareholders or form partnerships in companies which practice qualified auditing (for official purposes).
                     Residency within the EEA or the Swiss Confederation is required for approval.
                     The titles of ‘approved auditor’ and ‘authorised auditor’ may only be used by auditors approved or authorised in Sweden.
                     Auditors of co-operative economic associations and certain other enterprises who are not certified or approved accountants must be resident within the EEA, unless the Government, or a Government authority appointed by the Government, in a particular case allows otherwise.

                     To fly the Swedish flag, proof of dominating Swedish operating influence must be shown in case of foreign ownership interests in ships. Dominating Swedish influence means a proportionally large share of Swedish ownership in the ship, and that the operation of the ship is located in Sweden.
                     Foreign ships may be granted an exemption from this rule where they are rented or leased by Swedish legal persons through bareboat charter contracts. To be granted an exemption, the bareboat charter contract must be provided to the Swedish Maritime Administration and demonstrate that the charterer takes full responsibility for operation and crew of the leased or rented ship. The duration of the contract should be at least one to two years.

                     The commander of a trading vessel or a traditional vessel shall be a national of a Member State of the EEA. Exemptions may be granted by the Swedish Transport Agency.
                     A separate Swedish reservation applies to vessels used for fishing and aquaculture.

                     In order to engage in the occupation of road transport operator, a Swedish licence is needed. Criteria for receiving a taxi licence include that the company has appointed a natural person to act as the transport manager (a de facto residency requirement — see the Swedish reservation on types of establishment).
                     Criteria for receiving a licence for other road transport operators require that the company be established in the EU, have an establishment situated in Sweden and have appointed a natural person to act as the transport manager, who must be resident in the EU.
                     Licences are granted on non-discriminatory terms, except that operators of road haulage and road passenger transport services may as a general rule only use vehicles that are registered in the national road traffic registry. If a vehicle is registered abroad, owned by a natural or legal person whose principal residence is abroad and is brought to Sweden for temporary use, the vehicle may be temporarily used in Sweden. Temporary use is usually defined by the Swedish Transport Agency as meaning not more than one year.
                     Operators of cross-border road haulage and road passenger transport services abroad need to be licensed for such operations by the competent authority in the country where they are established. Additional requirements for cross-border trade may be regulated in bilateral road transport agreements. For vehicles where no such bilateral agreement is applicable, a licence is also needed from the Swedish Transport Agency.

In addition, national law may include non-discriminatory requirements as to the organisation of the permitted legal forms.

                     A licence is necessary to undertake exploration and production activities on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), and to provide services which require direct access to or exploitation of natural resources.
                     This reservation applies to production licences issued with respect to the UK Continental Shelf. To be a Licensee, a company must have a place of business within the UK. That means either: (a) a staffed presence in the UK; (b) registration of a UK company at Companies House; or (c) registration of a UK branch of a foreign company at Companies House. This requirement exists for any company applying for a new licence and for any company seeking to join an existing licence by assignment. It applies to all licences and to all enterprises, whether operator or not.
                     To be a party to a Licence that covers a producing field, a company must: (a) be registered at Companies House as a UK company; or (b) carry on its business through a fixed place of business in the UK as defined in section 148 of the Finance Act 2003 (which normally requires a staffed presence).

                     In all Member States of the EU, services considered as public utilities at a national or local level may be subject to public monopolies or to exclusive rights granted to private operators.
                     Public utilities exist in sectors such as related scientific and technical consulting services, research and development (R&D) services on social sciences and humanities, technical testing and analysis services, environmental services, health services, transport services and services auxiliary to all modes of transport. Exclusive rights on such services are often granted to private operators, for instance operators with concessions from public authorities, subject to specific service obligations. Given that public utilities often also exist at the sub-central level, detailed and exhaustive sector-specific scheduling is not practical.
                     This reservation does not apply to telecommunications and to computer and related services.

                     The EU reserves the right to adopt or maintain any measure which accords differential treatment to a country pursuant to any existing or future bilateral or multilateral agreement which:
                     
                                 (a)

                                 requires the approximation of legislation in one or more economic sectors.
                              
                           An internal market on services and establishment means an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of services, capital and persons is ensured.
                     The right of establishment means an obligation to abolish in substance all barriers to establishment among the parties to the regional economic integration agreement by the entry into force of that agreement. The right of establishment shall include the right of nationals of the parties to the regional economic integration agreement to set up and operate enterprises under the same conditions provided for nationals under the law of the country where such establishment takes place.
                     The approximation of legislation means:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 the alignment of the legislation of one or more of the parties to the regional economic integration agreement with the legislation of the other party or parties to that agreement; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 the incorporation of common legislation into the law of the parties to the regional economic integration agreement.
                              
                           Such alignment or incorporation shall take place, and shall be deemed to have taken place, only at such time that it has been enacted in the law of the party or parties to the regional economic integration agreement.

                     An individual authorisation for the production of electricity of a capacity of 25 MW requires establishment in the EU, or in another State which has a similar regime to that enforced by Directive 96/92/EC in place, and where the company has an effective and continuous link with the economy.
                     The offshore production of electricity within the offshore territory of Belgium is subject to concession and a joint venture obligation with a company from a Member State of the EU, or a foreign company from a country having a similar regime to that of Directive 2003/54/EC, particularly with regard to conditions relating to the authorisation and selection. Additionally, the company shall have its central administration or its head office in a Member State of the EU or a country meeting the above criteria, where it has an effective and continuous link with the economy.
                     The construction of electrical power lines which link offshore production to the transmission network of Elia requires authorisation and the company must meet the previously specified conditions, except for the joint venture requirement.

                     An authorisation is necessary for the supply of electricity by an intermediary having customers established in Belgium who are connected to the national grid system or to a direct line whose nominal voltage is higher than 70,000 volts. Such an authorisation may only be granted to a natural or juridical person established in the EEA.
                     In general, the supply of natural gas to customers (customers being both distribution companies and consumers whose overall combined consumption of gas arising from all points of supply attains a minimum level of one million cubic metres per year) established in Belgium is subject to an individual authorisation provided by the minister, except where the supplier is a distribution company using its own distribution network. Such an authorisation may only be granted to a natural or juridical person established in a Member State of the EU.

                     Where there is a threat of serious injury to the essential interests of defence and national security, the Government has following special powers:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 to impose specific conditions in the purchase of shares;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 to veto the adoption of resolutions relating to special operations such as transfers, mergers, splitting up, and changes of activity; or
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 to reject the acquisition of shares, where the buyer seeks to hold a level of participation in the capital that is likely to prejudice the interests of defence and national security.
                              
                           Any resolution, act and transaction (transfers, mergers, splitting up, change of activity, termination) relating to strategic assets in the areas of energy, transport and communications shall be notified by the concerned company to the Prime Minister's office. In particular, acquisitions by any physical or juridical person outside the EU that give this person control over the company shall be notified.
                     The Prime Minister may exercise the following special powers:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 to veto any resolution, act and transaction that constitutes an exceptional threat of serious injury to the public interest in the security and operation of networks and supplies;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 to impose specific conditions in order to guarantee the public interest; or
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 to reject an acquisition in exceptional cases of risk to the essential interests of the State.
                              
                           The criteria on which to evaluate the real or exceptional threat and conditions and procedures for the exercise of the special powers are laid down in the law.
