                     A glossary of terms used by individual Member States is attached to this schedule.
                     ‘Subsidiary’ of a legal person means a legal person which is effectively controlled by another legal person.
                     ‘Branch’ of a legal person means a place of business not having legal personality which has the appearance of permanency, such as the extension of a parent body, has a management and is materially equipped to negotiate business with third parties so that the latter, although knowing that there will if necessary be a legal link with the parent body, the head office of which is abroad, do not have to deal directly with such parent body but may transact business at the place of business constituting the extension.

                                 In all Member States (1) 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 (2).

                                             Treatment accorded to subsidiaries (of Chilean companies) formed in accordance with the law of a Member State and having their registered office, central administration or principal place of business within the Community is not extended to branches or agencies established in a Member State by a Chilean company. However, this does not prevent a Member State from extending this treatment to branches or agencies established in another Member State by a Chilean company or firm, as regards their operation in the first Member State's territory, unless such extension is explicitly prohibited by Community law.

                     Without prejudice to the scope of activities which may be considered as ‘cabotage’ under the relevant national legislation, this schedule does not include ‘maritime cabotage services’, which are assumed to cover transportation of passengers or goods between a port located in a Member State and another port located in the same Member State and traffic originating and terminating in the same port located in a Member State provided that this traffic remains within this Member State's territorial waters.

                                 (b)

            (1)  In the case of Austria, Finland and Sweden no horizontal reservation has been taken for services considered as public utilities
         
            (2)  Explanatory note: public utilities exist in sectors such as related scientific and technical consulting services, 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.
         
            (3)  Exceptions from these requirements may be granted, if it can be proved that residency is not necessary.
         
            (4)  SI: According to the Law on Commercial Companies, a branch established in the Republic of Slovenia is not considered a juridical person, but as regards their operation, their treatment is equal to a subsidiary.
         
            (5)  Commercial, industrial or artisanal activities relate to sectors such as: other business services, construction, distribution and tourism services. It does not relate to telecommunications and financial services.

               UNDERSTANDING ON COMMITMENTS IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
         The Community has been enabled to take on specific commitments with respect to financial services under this Agreement on the basis of an alternative approach to that covered by the general provisions of part IV, Chapter II (Financial Services), thereof. It was agreed that this approach could be applied subject to the following understanding:
         
                     (i)

                     (ii)
                  
                  
                     no presumption has been created as to the degree of liberalisation to which a Party is committing itself under this Agreement.

         ‘Branch’ of a legal person means a place of business not having legal personality which has the appearance of permanency, such as the extension of a parent body, has a management and is materially equipped to negotiate business with third parties so that the latter, although knowing that there will if necessary be a legal link with the parent body, the head office of which is abroad, do not have to deal directly with such parent body but may transact business at the place of business constituting the extension.
