information arising from the investigation
referred to in subparagraph 3(a), exchanging
views on the bilateral safeguard measure and
reaching an agreement on compensation set out in
paragraph 5.
(d) No bilateral safeguard measure shall be
maintained except to the extent and for such time
as may be necessary to prevent or remedy serious
injury and to facilitate adjustment, provided
that such time shall not exceed a period of four
years. However, in very exceptional
circumstances, a bilateral safeguard measure may
be extended, provided that the total period of
the bilateral safeguard measure, including such
extensions, shall not exceed five years. In
order to facilitate adjustment in a situation
where the expected duration of a bilateral
safeguard measure is over one year, the Party
maintaining the bilateral safeguard measure shall
progressively liberalize the bilateral safeguard
measure at regular intervals during the period of
application.

(e) No bilateral safeguard measure shall be applied
again to the import of a particular originating
good which has been subject to such a bilateral
safeguard measure, for a period of time equal to
the duration of the previous bilateral safeguard
measure or one year, whichever is longer.

measure, the rate of customs duty shall be the
rate which would have been in effect but for the
bilateral safeguard measure.
5. (a) A Party proposing to apply or extend a bilateral
safeguard measure shall provide to the other
Party mutually agreed adequate means of trade
compensation in the form of concessions of
customs duties whose levels are substantially
equivalent to the value of the additional customs
duties expected to result from the bilateral
safeguard measure.
(b) If the Parties are unable to agree on the
compensation within 30 days after the
commencement of the consultation pursuant to
subparagraph 4(c), the Party against whose
originating good the bilateral safeguard measure
is taken shall be free to suspend the application
of concessions of customs duties under this
Agreement, which are substantially equivalent to
the bilateral safeguard measure. The Party
exercising the right of suspension may suspend
the application of concessions of customs duties
only for the minimum period necessary to achieve
the substantially equivalent effects and only
while the bilateral safeguard measure is
maintained.
6. Nothing in this Chapter shall prevent a Party from
applying safeguard measures to an originating good in
accordance with:
(a) Article XIX of the GATT 1994 and the Agreement on
Safeguards; or
(b) Article 5 of the Agreement on Agriculture.
7. Each Party shall ensure the consistent, impartial and
reasonable administration of its laws and regulations
relating to the bilateral safeguard measure.

8. Each Party shall adopt or maintain equitable, timely,
transparent and effective procedures relating to the
bilateral safeguard measure.
9. (a) In critical circumstances, where delay would
cause damage which it would be difficult to
repair, a Party may take a provisional bilateral
safeguard measure, which shall take the form of
the measure set out in subparagraph 1(a) or (b)
pursuant to a preliminary determination that
there is clear evidence that increased imports of
an originating good have caused or are
threatening to cause serious injury to a domestic
industry.
(b) A Party shall deliver a written notice to the
other Party prior to applying a provisional
bilateral safeguard measure. Consultations
between the Parties on the application of the
provisional bilateral safeguard measure shall be
initiated immediately after the provisional
bilateral safeguard measure is taken.
(c) The duration of the provisional bilateral
safeguard measure shall not exceed 200 days.
During that period, the pertinent requirements of
paragraph 3 shall be met. The duration of the
provisional bilateral safeguard measure shall be
counted as a part of the period referred to in
subparagraph 4(d).
(d) Subparagraph 4(f) and paragraphs 7 and 8 shall be
applied mutatis mutandis to the provisional
bilateral safeguard measure. The customs duty
imposed as a result of the provisional bilateral
safeguard measure shall be refunded if the
subsequent investigation referred to in
subparagraph 3(a) does not determine that
increased imports of the originating good have
caused or threatened to cause serious injury to a
domestic industry.
10. Written notice referred to in subparagraphs 4(a) and
9(b) and any other communication between the Parties shall
be done in the English language.
11. The Parties shall review the provisions of this
Article, if necessary, five years after the date of entry
into force of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by
the Parties.

Article 25
Restrictions to Safeguard the Balance of Payments

treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its

compensate for any inherent competitive
disadvantages which result from the foreign
character of the relevant services or service
suppliers.

according to services and service suppliers of the other
Party, either formally identical treatment or formally
different treatment to that it accords to its own like

treatment;

and
(d) where appropriate, the time-frame for

commitments are undertaken in Annex 8 and which are
indicated with “SS”, any terms, limitations, conditions and
qualifications, referred to in subparagraphs 1(a) and (b),

Agreement.

out in its Schedule in Annex 9.

Article 83
Authorization, Licensing or Qualification
With a view to ensuring that any measure by a Party
relating to the authorization, licensing or qualification
of service suppliers of the other Party does not constitute
an unnecessary barrier to trade in services, each Party
shall endeavor to ensure that such measure:
(a) is based on objective and transparent criteria,
such as the competence and ability to supply
services;
(b) is not more burdensome than necessary to ensure
the quality of services; and
(c) does not constitute a disguised restriction on
the supply of services.

Article 84
Mutual Recognition
1. A Party may recognize the education or experience
obtained, requirements met, or licenses or certifications
granted in the other Party for the purposes of the
fulfillment, in whole or in part, of its standards or
criteria for the authorization, licensing or certification
of service suppliers of the other Party.
2. Recognition referred to in paragraph 1, which may be
achieved through harmonization or otherwise, may be based
upon an agreement or arrangement between the Parties or may
be accorded unilaterally.
3. Where a Party recognizes, by agreement or arrangement
between the Party and a non-Party or unilaterally, the
education or experience obtained, requirements met or
licenses or certifications granted in the non-Party:

(a) nothing in Article 82 shall be construed to
require the Party to accord such recognition to
the education or experience obtained,
requirements met or licenses or certifications
granted in the other Party; and

transparency and shall not be construed to affect

Chapter.

Article 86

1. Each Party shall ensure that any monopoly supplier of
a service in its Area does not, in the supply of the
monopoly service in the relevant market, act in a manner
inconsistent with the Party’s commitments under this
Chapter.
2. Where a Party’s monopoly supplier competes, either
directly or through an affiliated juridical person, in the
supply of a service outside the scope of its monopoly
rights and which is subject to that Party’s specific
commitments, the Party shall ensure that such a supplier
does not abuse its monopoly position to act in the Area of
the Party in a manner inconsistent with such commitments.

cases of exclusive service suppliers, where a Party,
formally or in effect:

expiry of that implementation period, enter into
consultations with the complaining Party, with a view to
developing mutually satisfactory resolution through
compensation or any alternative arrangement. If no
satisfactory resolution has been agreed within 30 days
after the date of expiry of that implementation period, the
complaining Party may notify the Party complained against
that it intends to suspend the application to the Party
complained against of concessions or other obligations
under this Agreement.

after the date of such confirmation by the arbitral
tribunal, notify the Party complained against that it
intends to suspend the application to the Party complained
against of concessions or other obligations under this
Agreement.

6. The suspension of the application of concessions or
other obligations under paragraphs 3 and 5 may only be
implemented at least 30 days after the date of the
notification in accordance with those paragraphs. Such
suspension shall:
(a) not be effected if, in respect of the dispute to
which the suspension relates, consultations or
proceedings before the arbitral tribunal are in
progress;
(b) be temporary, and be discontinued when the
Parties reach a mutually satisfactory resolution
or where compliance with the original award is
effected;
(c) be restricted to the same level of nullification
or impairment that is attributable to the failure
to comply with the original award; and
(d) be restricted to the same sector or sectors to
which the nullification or impairment relates,

complaining Party. The complaining Party shall enter into
consultations within 10 days after the date of receipt of
