Recognition of Professional Qualifications and Licensing Sample Clauses

Recognition of Professional Qualifications and Licensing. 1. With a view to ensuring that any measure that a Party adopts or maintains with respect to the requirements and procedures for the granting of licenses and the recognition of qualifications to nationals of the other Party does not constitute an unnecessary barrier to trade, each Party shall endeavor to ensure that such measures: (a) are based on objective and transparent criteria, such as ability and fitness to provide a service; (b) are no more burdensome than necessary to ensure the quality of a service; and (c) do not constitute a disguised restriction on the cross-border provision of a service. 2. Where a Party revalidates, unilaterally or by agreement with another country, licenses or professional qualifications obtained in the territory of the other Party or of any non-Party: (a) nothing in Article 9-04 shall be construed to require that Party to revalidate studies, licenses or professional qualifications obtained in the territory of the other Party; and (b) that Party shall provide the other Party with adequate opportunity to demonstrate that studies, licenses or professional qualifications obtained in the territory of that other Party shall also be revalidated, or to negotiate or enter into an agreement having equivalent effect. 3. Each Party shall, within two years of the entry into force of this Agreement, eliminate any nationality or permanent residence requirements it maintains for the licensing of professional service suppliers of the other Party. Where a Party fails to comply with this obligation with respect to a particular sector, the other Party may maintain, in the same sector and for as long as the non-complying Party maintains its requirement, as the sole remedy, a requirement equivalent to that indicated in its Schedule to the Annex to this Article or reinstate: (a) any such requirement at the federal or central level that it has eliminated under this Article; or (b) any such requirements at the state or departmental level that had been in effect on entry into force of this Agreement, by notification to the Party in breach. 4. The Annex to this Article sets out procedures for the recognition of education, experience and other standards and requirements governing professional service suppliers.
