COUNCIL DECISION

Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The Commission is putting forward the following proposals for Council decisions:

  • Proposal for a Council Decision on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam;

  • Proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam;

  • Proposal for a Council Decision on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Investment Protection Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, of the other part; and

  • Proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of the Investment Protection Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, of the other part.

Earlier, the Commission had put forward a proposal for a horizontal safeguard regulation that will be of application among other agreements to the FTA between the EU and Vietnam.

The attached proposal for a Council Decision constitutes the legal instrument for the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam.

The EU-Vietnam FTA and IPA are fully consistent with Union policies and will not require the EU to amend its rules, regulations or standards in any regulated area. Furthermore, like all other trade and investment agreements the Commission has negotiated, the EU-Vietnam FTA and IPA fully safeguard public services and ensure that governments’ right to regulate in the public interest is fully preserved by the agreements and constitutes a basic underlying principle to them.

This proposal is in line with the vision of Europe 2020 strategy and contributes to the Union's trade and development objectives.

This proposal is in accordance with Article 218 TFEU, which envisages the adoption by the Council of decisions on international agreements. There exists no other legal instrument that could be used in order to achieve the objective expressed in this proposal.

Prior to the launch of bilateral negotiations with Vietnam, a Trade Sustainability Impact Assessment (TSIA) of the FTA between the EU and the ASEAN 2 was conducted by an external contractor to study the potential economic, social and environmental impact of a closer economic partnership between both regions.

In the framework of the preparation of the TSIA, the contractor consulted internal and external experts, organised public consultations in Brussels and in Bangkok, and held bilateral meetings and interviews with civil society in the EU and in ASEAN. Consultations in the framework of the TSIA provided a platform for the involvement of key stakeholders and the civil society in a dialogue on trade policy in relation to Southeast Asia.

Both, the TSIA report and the consultations held in the context of its preparation, provided the Commission with input that has been of great value in all bilateral trade and investment negotiations launched since with individual ASEAN countries.

In addition, in June 2012, the Commission conducted a public consultation on the future bilateral agreement with Vietnam that included a questionnaire prepared to obtain information from stakeholder that later helped the Commission in establishing priorities and taking decisions throughout the negotiating process. 62 replies were received, of which 43 from industry federations and associations, 16 from individual companies and three from Member States. Replies covered a wide range of sectors, including agri-food, ICT, textiles, services, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, metals, green energy, automotive, machinery and wood-paper. The written consultation was followed with meetings with a selected number of respondents to the questionnaire identified as representing the most sensitive sectors for the negotiations with Vietnam (textile, alcoholic beverages, pharmaceuticals, automotive and ICT).

A roundtable with stakeholders on human rights and sustainable development in the context of bilateral relations between the EU and Vietnam was held in May 2015 3 . The Commission then carried out a dedicated analysis 4 addressing the possible impact of the FTA on human rights and sustainable development.

Prior and during negotiations, the EU Member States were regularly informed and consulted orally and in writing on the different aspects of the negotiation via the Council’s Trade Policy Committee. The European Parliament was also regularly informed and consulted via its Committee on International Trade (INTA), and notably its EU-Vietnam FTA Monitoring Group. The texts progressively resulting from the negotiations were circulated throughout the process to both institutions.

The EU-Vietnam FTA and IPA are not subject to REFIT procedures. They nevertheless contain a number of provisions that will simplify trade and investment procedures, reduce export and investment related costs and will therefore enable more small firms to do business in both markets. Among the expected benefits are: less burdensome technical rules, compliance requirements, customs procedures and rules of origin, the protection of intellectual property rights, or the reduction in cost of litigation under the Investment Court System for claimants that are SMEs.

The proposal does not affect the protection of fundamental rights in the Union.

The EU-Vietnam IPA is expected to have a financial impact on the EU budget on the side of the expenditures. The agreement will be the EU’s third (after the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, and the EU-Singapore) to incorporate the Investment Court System (ICS) for the resolution of disputes between investors and states. An amount of € 700,000 of additional yearly expenditure is foreseen from 2019 onwards (subject to the entry into force of the agreement) to finance the permanent structure comprising a First Instance and an Appeal Tribunal. At the same time, the agreement entails the use of administrative resources under budget line XX 01 01 01 (Expenditure related to officials and temporary staff working with the Institution), considering that it is estimated that one Administrator will be dedicated as full-time equivalent to the tasks inherent to this agreement. This is indicated in the Legislative Financial Statement and is subject to the conditions mentioned in it.

The EU-Vietnam FTA and IPA include institutional provisions that lay down an implementing bodies’ structure to continuously monitor the implementation, operation and impact of the agreements. The agreements being an integral part of the overall bilateral relation between the EU and Vietnam as governed by the PCA, the mentioned structures will form part of a common institutional framework with the PCA.

The institutional chapter of the FTA establishes a Trade Committee that has as its main task to supervise and facilitate the implementation and application of the agreement. The Trade Committee is comprised of representatives of the EU and of Vietnam who will meet every year or at the request of either side. The Trade Committee will be in charge of supervising the work of all specialised committees and working groups established under the agreement (Committee on Trade in Goods; Committee on Customs; Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures; Committee on Investment, Trade in Services, Electronic Commerce and Government Procurement; Committee on Trade and Sustainable Development; Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights, including Geographical Indications; and Working Group on Motor Vehicles and Parts).

The Trade Committee has also the task to communicate with all interested parties, including private sector and civil society, in relation to the functioning and implementation of the agreement. In the agreement, both sides recognise the importance of transparency and openness and commit to consider the views of members of the public in order to draw on a broad range of perspectives in the implementation of the agreement.

The institutional chapter of the IPA establishes a Committee with the main task to supervise and facilitate the implementation and application of the agreement. Among other tasks, the Committee may, subject to the completion of each side’s respective legal requirements and procedures, decide to appoint the Members of the ICS Tribunals, fix their monthly remuneration, and adopt binding interpretations of the agreement.

As emphasised in the “Trade for All” Communication, the Commission is dedicating increasing resources to the effective implementation and enforcement of trade and investment agreements. In 2017, the Commission published the first annual FTA Implementation Report. The main purpose of the report is to convey an objective picture on the implementation of EU FTAs, highlighting the progress made and the shortcomings that need to be addressed. The objective is for the report to serve as the basis for open debate and engagement with Member States, the European Parliament and the civil society at large on the functioning of the FTAs and their implementation. As an annual exercise, the publication of the report will allow regular monitoring of developments, registering also how identified priority issues have been addressed. The report will cover the EU-Vietnam FTA as of its entry into force.

Certain actions will need to be taken in order to ensure implementation of the Agreement. These will be put in place in time for the application of the Agreement. These are a Commission implementing regulation to be adopted pursuant to Article 58(1) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code opening the tariff rate quotas provided for by the Agreement.

  1. the comprehensive liberalisation of services and investment markets, including cross-cutting rules on licensing and for the mutual recognition of diplomas, and sector-specific rules designed to ensure a level playing field for EU businesses;

  2. new tendering opportunities for EU bidders in Vietnam, who is not a member of the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement;

2018/0356 (NLE)

Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the conclusion of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam

  1. the removal of technical and regulatory trade barriers to trade in goods, such as duplicative testing, in particular by promoting the use of technical and regulatory standards familiar in the EU in the sectors of motor vehicles, pharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as green technologies;

  2. based on international standards, a more trade-facilitative regime for the approval of European food exports to Vietnam;

  3. Vietnam’s commitment to reduce or eliminate its tariffs on imports from the EU, and a cheaper access of European businesses and consumers to products originating in Vietnam;

  4. a high level protection of intellectual property rights, including with regard to the enforcement of these rights, also at the border, and a TRIPs-plus level of protection of EU GIs;

  5. a comprehensive chapter on trade and sustainable development, which aims at ensuring that trade supports labour rights, environmental protection and social development and promotes the sustainable management of forests and fisheries. It includes commitments on effective application of international standards and on efforts towards ratification of a number of international conventions. The chapter also sets out how social partners and civil society will be involved in its implementation and monitoring; and

  6. a swift dispute resolution mechanisms through either panel arbitration or with the help of a mediator.

ARTICLE 2.9

Specific Measures concerning the Preferential Tariff Treatment

1.    The Parties shall cooperate on combating customs violations relating to the preferential tariff treatment granted under this Chapter.


2.    For the purpose of paragraph 1, each Party shall offer the other Party administrative cooperation and mutual administrative assistance in customs and related matters as part of the implementation and control of the preferential tariff treatment, which shall include the following obligations:

(a)    verifying the originating status of the product or products concerned;

(b)    carrying out the subsequent verification of the proof of origin and providing the results of that verification to the other Party; and

(c)    granting authorisation to the importing Party to conduct enquiry visits in order to determine the authenticity of documents or accuracy of information relevant to the granting of the preferential treatment in question.

3.    Where, in accordance with the provisions on administrative cooperation or mutual administrative assistance in customs and related matters referred to in paragraph 2, the importing Party establishes that a proof of origin was unduly issued because the requirements provided for in Protocol 1 (Concerning the Definition of the Concept of "Originating Products" and Methods of Administrative Cooperation) were not fulfilled, that Party may deny a preferential tariff treatment to a declarant who claimed it with regard to goods for which the proof of origin was issued in the exporting Party.


4.    If the importing Party considers that the denial of preferential tariff treatment for individual consignments referred to in paragraph 3 is insufficient to implement and control the preferential tariff treatment of a given product, that Party may, in accordance with the procedure laid down in paragraph 5, temporarily suspend the relevant preferential tariff treatment of the products concerned in the following cases:

(a)    when that Party finds that there has been a systematic customs violation regarding claims of preferential tariff treatment under this Agreement; or

(b)    when that Party finds that the exporting Party has systematically failed to comply with the obligations under paragraph 2.

5.    The competent authority of the importing Party shall, without undue delay, notify its finding to the competent authority of the exporting Party, provide verifiable information upon which the finding was based and engage in consultations with the competent authority of the exporting Party with a view to achieving a mutually acceptable solution.

6.    If the competent authorities have not achieved a mutually acceptable solution after 30 days following the notification referred to in paragraph 5, the importing Party shall, without undue delay, refer the matter to the Trade Committee.

7.    If the Trade Committee has failed to agree on an acceptable solution within 60 days following the referral, the importing Party may temporarily suspend the preferential tariff treatment for the products concerned.


The importing Party may apply the temporary suspension of preferential tariff treatment under this paragraph only for a period necessary to protect its financial interests and until the exporting Party provides convincing evidence of its ability to comply with the obligations referred to in paragraph 2 and to provide sufficient control of the fulfilment of those obligations.

The temporary suspension shall not exceed a period of three months. If the conditions that gave rise to the initial suspension persist after the expiry of the three-month period, the importing Party may decide to renew the suspension for another period of three months. Any suspension shall be subject to periodic consultations within the Trade Committee.

8.    The importing Party shall publish, in accordance with its internal procedures, notices to importers about any notification and decision concerning the temporary suspension referred to in paragraph 4. The importing Party shall, without undue delay, notify the exporting Party and the Trade Committee.

ARTICLE 2.10

Repaired Goods

1.    A Party shall not apply a customs duty to a good, regardless of its origin, that re-enters its territory after the good has been temporarily exported from its territory to the territory of the other Party for repair, regardless of whether such repair could be performed in the territory of the Party from which the good was temporarily exported.


2.    Paragraph 1 does not apply to a good imported in bond, into a free trade zone, or in similar status, that is exported for repair and is not re-imported in bond, into a free trade zone, or in similar status.

3.    A Party shall not apply a customs duty to a good, regardless of its origin, imported temporarily from the territory of the other Party for repair.

4.    For the purposes of this Article, the term "repair" means any processing operation which is undertaken on a good to remedy operating defects or material damage and entailing the re-establishment of a good to its original function or to ensure its compliance with technical requirements for its use, without which the good could no longer be used in the normal way for the purposes for which it was intended. Repair of a good includes restoring and maintenance. It shall not include an operation or process that:

(a)    destroys the essential characteristics of the good or creates a new or commercially different good;

(b)    transforms an unfinished good into a finished good; or

(c)    is used to improve or upgrade the technical performance of a good.


ARTICLE 2.11

2.    The importing Party may impose a bilateral safeguard measure which:

The investigation shall also take into consideration the existence of any factor other than increased imports which may also cause injury at the same time.

5.    Each Party shall ensure that its competent authorities complete the investigation referred to in paragraph 2 within one year of the date of its initiation.

6.    A Party shall not apply a bilateral safeguard measure:

(a)    except to the extent, and for such time, as it is necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment;

ARTICLE 3.12

Provisional Measures

In critical circumstances where delay would cause damage that would be difficult to repair, a Party may apply a bilateral safeguard measure on a provisional basis pursuant to a preliminary determination that there is clear evidence that imports of an originating good from the other Party have increased as the result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, and that such imports cause serious injury, or threat thereof, to the domestic industry. The duration of any provisional measure shall not exceed 200 days, during which time the Party shall comply with the requirements of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 3.11 (Conditions and Limitations). The Party shall promptly refund any tariff increases if the investigation referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 3.11 (Conditions and Limitations) does not result in a finding that the requirements of paragraph 1 of Article 3.10 (Application of a Bilateral Safeguard Measure) are met. The duration of any provisional measure shall be counted as part of the period prescribed by subparagraph 5(b) of Article 3.11 (Conditions and Limitations).


ARTICLE 3.13

The obligation to provide compensation, incumbent on the Party applying the bilateral safeguard measure, and the other Party's right to suspend concessions under this paragraph shall terminate on the same date as the bilateral safeguard measure terminates.

3.    The right of suspension referred to in paragraph 2 shall not be exercised for the first 24 months during which a bilateral safeguard measure is in effect, provided that the safeguard measure conforms to the provisions of this Agreement.


ARTICLE 3.14

ARTICLE 5.2

Objectives

1.    The objectives of this Chapter are to facilitate and increase bilateral trade in goods by preventing, identifying and eliminating unnecessary obstacles to trade within the scope of the TBT Agreement, and to enhance bilateral cooperation between the Parties.

2.    The Parties shall establish and enhance technical capabilities and institutional infrastructure on matters concerning technical barriers to trade.


ARTICLE 5.3

Scope and Definitions

1.    This Chapter applies to the preparation, adoption and application of standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, as defined in Annex 1 to the TBT Agreement, that may affect trade in goods between the Parties, except for:

(a)    purchasing specifications prepared by governmental bodies for production or consumption requirements of those bodies; or

(b)    sanitary and phytosanitary measures as defined in Annex A to the SPS Agreement.

ARTICLE 5.4

Technical Regulations

1.    Each Party shall make best use of good regulatory practice, as provided for in the TBT Agreement and in this Chapter, in particular, by:

(a)    assessing the available regulatory and non-regulatory alternatives to a proposed technical regulation that would fulfil the Party's legitimate objectives, in accordance with Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement; endeavouring to assess, inter alia, the impact of a proposed technical regulation by means of a regulatory impact assessment, as recommended by the Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade established under Article 13 of the TBT Agreement;

(b)    using relevant international standards, such as those developed by the International Organization for Standardization, the International Electrotechnical Commission, the International Telecommunication Union and the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as a basis for their technical regulations, except when such international standards would be ineffective or inappropriate for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued by a Party. When a Party has not used international standards as a basis for its technical regulations, it shall, upon request of the other Party, identify any substantial deviation from the relevant international standards and explain the reasons why those standards have been judged inappropriate or ineffective for the objective pursued;


(c)    reviewing, without prejudice to Article 2.3 of the TBT Agreement, technical regulations with a view to increasing their convergence with relevant international standards. In undertaking this review, the Parties shall, inter alia, take into account any new development in the relevant international standards and whether the circumstances that have given rise to divergences from any relevant international standard continue to exist;

(d)    specifying technical regulations based on product performance requirements, rather than on design or descriptive characteristics.

2.    In accordance with Article 2.7 of the TBT Agreement, a Party shall give favourable consideration to accepting as equivalent technical regulations of the other Party, even if those regulations differ from its own, provided it is satisfied that those regulations adequately fulfil the objectives of its own regulations.

3.    A Party that has prepared a technical regulation that it considers to be equivalent to a technical regulation of the other Party because it has a compatible objective and product scope may request in writing that the other Party recognise it as equivalent. That request shall be made in writing and set out in detail the reasons why the technical regulations should be considered to be equivalent, including reasons with respect to product scope. A Party which does not agree that the technical regulations are equivalent shall provide to the other Party, upon request, the reasons for its decision.


ARTICLE 5.5

Standards

1.    The Parties affirm their obligations under Article 4.1 of the TBT Agreement to ensure that their standardising bodies accept and comply with the Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards in Annex 3 to the TBT Agreement. The Parties further affirm their adherence to the principles set out in Decisions and Recommendations adopted by the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade since 1 January 1995, G/TBT/1/rev.12, of 21 January 2015, (hereinafter referred to as "the document"), including the Decision of the Committee on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations with relation to Articles 2, 5 and Annex 3 of the Agreement, referred to in the Annexes to Part 1 of the document.

2.    With a view to harmonising standards on as wide a basis as possible, the Parties shall encourage their standardising bodies as well as the regional standardising bodies of which they or their standardising bodies are members to:

(a)    participate, within the limits of their resources, in the preparation of international standards by relevant international standardising bodies;


(b)    use relevant international standards as a basis for the standards they develop, except where those international standards would be ineffective or inappropriate for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued by a Party, for instance because of an insufficient level of protection, fundamental climatic or geographical factors, or fundamental technological problems;

(c)    avoid duplication of, or overlap with, the work of international standardising bodies;

(d)    review national and regional standards not based on relevant international standards at regular intervals, with a view to increasing their convergence with relevant international standards; and

(e)    cooperate with the relevant standardisation bodies of the other Party in international standardisation activities. That cooperation may be undertaken in international standardising bodies or at regional level.

3.    The Parties shall exchange information on:

(a)    their use of standards in support of technical regulations;

(b)    their standardisation processes, and the extent of their use of international or regional standards as basis for their national standards; and


(c)    cooperation agreements on standardisation implemented by either Party, including on standardisation issues in international agreements with third parties, to the extent this is not explicitly prohibited by those agreements.

4.    The Parties recognise that in accordance with Annex 1 to the TBT Agreement, compliance with standards is voluntary. When a Party makes compliance with standards mandatory, through incorporation or referencing in technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures, Article 5.7 (Transparency) applies.

ARTICLE 5.6

Conformity Assessment Procedures

1.    In respect of mandatory conformity assessment procedures the Parties shall apply paragraph 1 of Article 5.4 (Technical Regulations), mutatis mutandis, with a view to avoiding unnecessary obstacles to trade and ensuring transparency and non-discrimination.

2.    In line with Article 5.1.2 of the TBT Agreement, when an importing Party requires positive assurance of conformity with its applicable technical regulations or standards, its conformity assessment procedures shall neither be stricter nor applied more strictly than necessary to give this Party adequate confidence that products conform with its applicable technical regulations or standards, taking account of the risks non-conformity would create.


3.    The Parties recognise that a broad range of mechanisms exists to facilitate the acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures conducted in the territory of the other Party, including:

(a)    the importing Party's reliance on a supplier's declaration of conformity;

(b)    agreements on mutual acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures with respect to specific technical regulations conducted by bodies located in the territory of the other Party;

(c)    use of accreditation to qualify conformity assessment bodies located in the territory of either Party;

(d)    government designation of conformity assessment bodies, including bodies located in the territory of the other Party;

(e)    unilateral recognition by a Party of the results of conformity assessment procedures conducted in the territory of the other Party;

(f)    voluntary arrangements between conformity assessment bodies located in the territory of either Party; and

(g)    use of regional and international multilateral recognition agreements and arrangements to which the Parties are party.


4.    Having regard in particular to the considerations referred to in paragraph 3, the Parties shall:

(a)    intensify their exchange of information on the mechanism referred to in paragraph 3 and on similar mechanisms with a view to facilitating the acceptance of conformity assessment results;

(b)    exchange information on conformity assessment procedures and, in particular, on the criteria used to select appropriate conformity assessment procedures for specific products;

(c)    consider a supplier's declaration of conformity as one of the assurances of conformity with domestic law;

(d)    consider arrangements on mutual acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures according to the procedure set out in paragraph 5;

(e)    exchange information on accreditation policy and to consider how to best make use of international standards for accreditation and of international agreements involving the Parties' accreditation bodies, for example, through the mechanisms of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation and the International Accreditation Forum;

(f)    consider joining or, as applicable, to encourage their testing, inspection and certification bodies to join any operative international agreements or arrangements for harmonisation or facilitation of acceptance of conformity assessment results;


(g)    ensure that economic operators have a choice amongst conformity assessment facilities designated by the authorities to perform the tasks required by domestic law to assure compliance;

(h)    endeavour to use accreditation to qualify conformity assessment bodies; and

(i)    ensure independence of, and absence of conflict of interest between, accreditation bodies and conformity assessment bodies.

5.    Upon request from a Party, the other Party may decide to enter into consultations with a view to defining sectoral initiatives regarding the use of conformity assessment procedures or the facilitation of acceptance of conformity assessment results that are appropriate for the respective sectors. The Party making the request should provide relevant information on how the sectoral initiative would facilitate trade. If the other Party declines that request it shall, upon request, provide its reasons.

6.    The Parties affirm their obligations under Article 5.2.5 of the TBT Agreement that fees imposed for mandatory conformity assessment of imported products shall be equitable in relation to any fees chargeable for assessing the conformity of like products of domestic origin or originating in any other country, taking into account communication, transportation and other costs arising from differences between location of facilities of the applicant and the conformity assessment body.


ARTICLE 5.7

Transparency

The Parties acknowledge the importance of transparency with regard to the preparation, adoption and application of standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures. In that regard, the Parties affirm their transparency obligations under the TBT Agreement. Each Party shall:

(a)    take the other Party's comments into account where a part of the process of developing a technical regulation is open to public consultation, and provide, upon request, written responses in a timely manner to the comments made by the other Party;

(b)    ensure that economic operators and other interested persons of the other Party are allowed to participate in any formal public consultation process concerning the development of technical regulations, on terms no less favourable than those accorded to its own legal or natural persons;

(c)    further to subparagraph 1(a) of Article 5.4 (Technical Regulations), in cases where impact assessments are carried out, inform the other Party, upon request, of the outcome of the impact assessment of the proposed technical regulation;


(d)    when making notifications in accordance with Article 2.9.2 or 5.6.2 of the TBT Agreement:

(v)    provide information on the adoption and the entry into force of the notified measure and the adopted final text through an addendum to the original notification;

(e)    allow sufficient time between the publication of technical regulations and their entry into force for economic operators of the other Party to adapt, except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise;


(f)    ensure that all technical regulations and mandatory conformity assessment procedures adopted and in force are publicly available on official websites and free of charge; and

(g)    ensure that the enquiry point, established in accordance with Article 10.1 of the TBT Agreement, provides information and answers in one of the official WTO languages to reasonable enquiries from the other Party or from interested persons of the other Party on adopted technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures and standards.

ARTICLE 5.8

Market Surveillance

The Parties shall:

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

(b)    ensure that market surveillance functions are carried out by the competent authorities and that no conflicts of interest exist between the market surveillance function and the conformity assessment function; and

ARTICLE 5.9

Marking and Labelling

1.    The Parties note that a technical regulation may include or deal exclusively with marking or labelling requirements. When a Party's technical regulations contain mandatory marking or labelling requirements, that Party shall observe the principles of Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement, in particular, that technical regulations shall not be prepared with a view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade, and that they shall not be more trade restrictive than necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective.

2.    When requiring mandatory marking or labelling of products, a Party shall:

(a)    only require information which is relevant for consumers or users of the product or which indicates the product's conformity with the mandatory technical requirements;

(b)    not require any prior approval, registration or certification of the labels or markings of products as a precondition for placing on its market products that otherwise comply with its mandatory technical requirements, unless it is necessary in view of the risk of the products to human, animal or plant health or life, the environment or national security; this provision is without prejudice to the right of the Party to require prior approval of the specific information to be provided on the label or marking in light of the relevant domestic regulations;


(c)    in the event that it requires the use of a unique identification number by economic operators, issue that number to the economic operators of the other Party without undue delay and on a non-discriminatory basis;

(d)    provided it is not misleading, contradictory or confusing in relation to the information required in the Party importing the goods, permit the following:

(i)    information in other languages in addition to the language required in the Party importing the goods;

(ii)    internationally accepted nomenclatures, pictograms, symbols or graphics; or

(iii)    additional information to that required in the Party importing the goods;

(e)    accept that labelling, including supplementary labelling or corrections to labelling, take place, where relevant, in authorised premises, such as in customs or bonded licensed warehouses at the point of import, in the importing Party prior to the distribution and sale of the product; the Party may require that the original labelling is not removed;

(f)    when it considers that the legitimate objectives under the TBT Agreement are not compromised, endeavour to accept non-permanent or detachable labels, or marking or labelling in the accompanying documentation rather than physically attached to the product.


ARTICLE 5.10

Cooperation and Trade Facilitation

1.    The Parties shall strengthen their cooperation in the field of standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures with a view to increasing the mutual understanding of their respective systems and to facilitating trade between them. To that end, they may establish regulatory dialogues at both horizontal and sectoral levels.

2.    Upon request of the exporting Party, the importing Party shall approve within 45 working days the list of establishments referred to in paragraph 1, without prior inspection of individual establishments.


3.    If the importing Party requests additional information, the time-period referred to in paragraph 2 shall be extended by up to 30 working days. Following the approval of the list of establishment, the importing Party shall take necessary measures, in accordance with its applicable legal procedures, to allow the importation of products concerned.

4.    If the importing Party rejects the request for approval, it should inform without delay the exporting Party of the reasons upon which that rejection was based.

ARTICLE 6.9

Measures linked to Animal and Plant Health

1.    The Parties recognise the concepts of disease-free areas, areas of low disease prevalence, and compartmentalisation in accordance with the SPS Agreement and OIE standards, guidelines or recommendations. The Parties also recognise the animal health status as determined by the OIE.

2.    The Parties recognise the concepts of pest-free areas, areas of low pest prevalence, protected zones and pest free production sites in accordance with the SPS Agreement and IPPC standards, guidelines or recommendations.

3.    The Parties shall consider factors such as geographical location, ecosystems, epidemiological surveillance, and the effectiveness of the SPS controls.


4.    The SPS Committee shall define in further detail the procedure for the recognition of the concepts referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 taking into account the SPS Agreement and the OIE and IPPC standards, guidelines or recommendations.

5.    When the importing Party assesses the self-determination of the animal or plant health status made by the exporting Party, it shall, in principle, base its own assessment of the animal or plant health status of the exporting Party or parts thereof on the information provided by the exporting Party in accordance with the SPS Agreement and the OIE and IPPC standards, guidelines or recommendations. The importing Party shall endeavour to provide the exporting Party its decision without undue delay after the request for assessment.

6.    If the importing Party does not accept the self-determination of the animal or plant health status made by the exporting Party, it shall explain the reasons and, upon request by the exporting Party, enter into consultations as soon as possible to reach an alternative solution.

7.    The exporting Party shall provide relevant evidence in order to objectively demonstrate to the importing Party that the animal or plant health status of those areas is likely to remain unchanged. For that purpose, the exporting Party shall, upon request by the importing Party, give the importing Party reasonable access for inspection, testing and other relevant procedures.


ARTICLE 6.10

Equivalence

1.    The Parties recognise that the application of equivalence in Article 4 of the SPS Agreement is an important tool for trade facilitation and has mutual benefits for both exporting and importing countries.

2.    Equivalence can be accepted for a specific SPS measure or measures related to a certain product or categories of products, or on a systems-wide basis.

3.    The importing Party shall accept the SPS measures and systems of the exporting Party as equivalent if the exporting Party objectively demonstrates that its measures achieve the importing Party's appropriate level of SPS protection. To facilitate a determination of equivalence, the importing Party shall, upon request, explain the objective of any relevant SPS measures to the other Party.

4.    Within three months of the date of receipt by the importing Party of a request from the exporting Party, the Parties shall hold consultations in order to determine the equivalence of SPS measures and systems.

5.    The importing Party shall make a determination of equivalence without undue delay after the exporting Party has demonstrated the equivalence of the proposed SPS measures and systems.

7.    In case of multiple requests from the exporting Party, the Parties shall agree within the SPS Committee on a time schedule in which they shall initiate the process.

8.    In accordance with Article 9 of the SPS Agreement, the importing Party shall give full consideration to the requests by the exporting Party for technical assistance to facilitate the implementation of this Article. This assistance may, inter alia, help to identify and implement measures which can be recognised as equivalent or to otherwise enhance market access.

9.    The consideration by the importing Party of a request from the exporting Party for recognition of equivalence of its SPS measures with regard to a specific product shall not be in itself a reason to disrupt or suspend ongoing imports from that Party of that product. When the importing Party has made an equivalence determination, the Parties shall formally record it and apply it without delay to trade between them in the relevant area.

ARTICLE 6.11

Such a joint recommendation shall be supported by evidence of:

(a)    the economic value of an envisaged agreement on mutual recognition of professional qualifications (hereinafter referred to as "Mutual Recognition Agreement"); and

2.    The Parties understand that CPC 31 84 which is the United Nations code used for describing computer and related services, covers the basic functions used to provide all computer and related services. Technological developments have led to the increased offering of these services as a bundle or package of related services that can include some or all of these basic functions. For example, services such as web or domain hosting, data mining services and grid computing each consist of a combination of basic computer services functions.


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

The other service, regardless of whether it is enabled by a computer and related service, is not covered by CPC 84.

Accordingly, each Party retains the right to exercise its spectrum and frequency management policies, which may affect the number of suppliers of public telecommunications services, provided that this is done in a manner that is consistent with this Chapter.

Universal Service

1.    Each Party shall have the right to define the kind of universal service obligation it wishes to maintain.

4.    The procedure referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall not preclude either party concerned from bringing an action before the courts.


5.    Any user or supplier affected by the decision of a regulatory authority shall have a right to appeal against that decision to an appeal body that is independent of the party involved. This body, which may be a court, shall have the appropriate expertise to carry out its functions effectively. The merits of the case shall be duly taken into account and the appeal mechanism shall be effective. Where the appeal body is not judicial in character, written reasons for its decision shall always be given and its decisions shall also be subject to review by an impartial and independent judicial authority. Decisions taken by appeal bodies shall be effectively enforced. Pending the outcome of the appeal, the decision of the regulatory authority shall stand, unless interim measures are granted in accordance with the domestic laws and regulations.

(a)    neither divide a procurement into separate procurements nor select or use a particular valuation method for estimating the value of a procurement with the intention of totally or partially excluding it from the application of this Chapter; and

(b)    include the estimated maximum total value of the procurement over its entire duration, whether this procurement is awarded to one or more suppliers at the same time or over a given period of time, taking into account all forms of remuneration, including:

(i)    premiums, fees, commissions and interest; and

(ii)    the total value of any option clause.


8.    For recurring contracts that consist, due to an individual requirement of the procurement, in awarding more than one contract, or in awarding contracts in separate parts, 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, where 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.

ARTICLE 9.7

Conditions for Participation

(a)    its procuring entities make efforts to minimize differences in their qualification procedures; and

(b)    where its procuring entities maintain registration systems, the entities make efforts to minimise differences in their registration systems.

3.    A Party shall not adopt or apply any registration system or qualification procedure:

(a)    with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to the participation of suppliers of the other Party in its procurement; or


(b)    use such registration system or qualification procedure to prevent or delay the inclusion of suppliers of the other Party on a list of suppliers or to prevent such suppliers from being considered for a particular procurement.

Selective Tendering

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

(a)    include in the notice of intended procurement at least the information specified in subparagraphs (a), (b), (f), (g), (j), (k) and (l) of paragraph 2 of Article 9.6 (Notices) and invite suppliers to submit a request for participation; and

Multi-Use Lists

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)    where published by electronic means, made available continuously,

in the appropriate medium listed in Section H (Publication of Procurement Information) of the Annexes to this Chapter.

(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 procuring entity and obtain all relevant documents relating to the list;

The procuring entity shall not exclude the supplier from consideration in respect of the procurement on the grounds that the procuring entity has insufficient time to examine the request, unless, in exceptional cases, due to the complexity of the procurement, the procuring entity is not able to complete the examination of the request within the time period allowed for the submission of tenders.

Sub-Central Government and other Covered Entities

13.    A procuring entity covered by Sections B (Sub-Central Government Entities) or C (Other Covered Entities) of the Annexes to this Chapter 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 paragraph 2 of Article 9.6 (Notices) 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 procuring entity promptly provides to suppliers that have expressed an interest in a given procurement to the procuring entity sufficient information to permit them to assess their interest in the procurement, including all remaining information required under paragraph 2 of Article 9.6 (Notices), to the extent such information is available.

Information on Procuring Entity Decisions

15.    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.

16.    Where 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 procuring 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 9.9

Technical Specifications

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

2.    In prescribing the technical specifications for the goods or services being procured, a procuring entity shall, where 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, where they exist; otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognised national standards or building codes.

3.    Where design or descriptive characteristics are used in the technical specifications, a procuring entity shall indicate 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 procuring 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, in accordance with this Article, prepare, adopt or apply technical specifications to promote the conservation of natural resources or protect the environment.

ARTICLE 9.10

Market Consultations

1.    Before launching a procurement, procuring entities may conduct market consultations with a view to preparing the procurement, notably for the development of technical specifications, provided that, where market research is performed by a supplier in the context of covered procurement, such procurement is subject to the provisions of this Chapter.


2.    For that purpose, procuring entities may seek or accept advice from independent experts or authorities or from market participants. That advice may be used in the planning and conduct of the procurement procedure, provided that it does not have the effect of distorting competition and does not result in a violation of the principles of non-discrimination and transparency.

ARTICLE 9.11

Tender Documentation

Tender Documentation

1.    A procuring entity shall promptly make available or provide upon request 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 quantity of the goods or services to be procured or, where the quantity is not known, the estimated quantity, and any requirements to be fulfilled, including any technical specifications, conformity 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 to be applied in the awarding of the contract and, except where price is the sole criterion, the relative importance of such criteria;

(d)    where the procuring entity will conduct the procurement by electronic means, any authentication and encryption requirements or any other requirements related to the submission of information by electronic means, provided that there are such requirements;

(e)    where 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)    where there will be a public opening of tenders, the date, time and place for the opening of tenders and, if the domestic legislation of a Party stipulates that only certain persons are authorised to be present, the indication of those persons;

(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.

2.    In establishing any date for the delivery of goods or the supply of services being procured, a procuring entity shall take into account, where appropriate, 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.


3.    The evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation may include, inter alia, price and other cost factors, quality, technical merit, environmental characteristics and terms of delivery.

4.    A procuring entity shall promptly 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.

Modifications

5.    If, prior to the award of a contract, a procuring entity modifies the evaluation 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 reissuance, if such suppliers are known to the procuring entity, or otherwise publish or provide such documents in the same manner as the original information was made available; and

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


ARTICLE 9.12

Time-Periods

General

1.    A procuring entity shall, consistent with its own reasonable needs, provide sufficient time for suppliers to obtain the tender documentation and 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 where electronic means are not used.

Such time periods, including any extension thereof, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers.


Deadlines

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. In case of a state of urgency, duly substantiated by the procuring entity, that 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 and 7, 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:

(c)    the procuring entity procures commercial goods or services; or

(d)    a state of urgency, duly substantiated by the procuring entity, that renders impracticable the time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3.

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 tender documentation is made available by electronic means from the date of the publication of the notice of intended procurement; and

(c)    the procuring entity accepts tenders by electronic means.

6.    The application of paragraph 5, in conjunction with paragraph 4, shall in no case result in a reduced time-period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 of less than 10 days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published.

7.    If a procuring entity covered by Sections B (Sub-Central Government Entities) or C (Other Covered Entities) of the Annexes to this Chapter 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 9.13

Negotiations

1.    With regard to covered procurement, a Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct negotiations:

(a)    if the procuring entity has indicated its intent to conduct negotiations in the notice of intended procurement required under paragraph 2 of Article 9.6 (Notices); 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)    when negotiations are concluded, provide a common deadline for the remaining participating suppliers to submit any new or revised tenders.


ARTICLE 9.14

Limited Tendering

1.    Provided a procuring entity does not use limited tendering 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 9.6 (Notices), 9.7 (Conditions for Participation), 9.8 (Qualification of Suppliers), 9.10 (Market Consultations), 9.11 (Tender Documentation), 9.12 (Time-Periods), 9.13 (Negotiations) and 9.15 (Electronic Auctions) only under any of the following circumstances:

(a)    if in response to a notice of intended procurement, or invitation to tender:

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

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

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

(iv)    the tenders submitted have been collusive,

provided that the procuring entity does not substantially modify the essential requirements set out in the tender documentation;

(i)    the requirement is for a work of art;

(ii)    the protection of patents, copyrights or other exclusive rights; or

(iii)    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 or conditions under original supplier warranties; and

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

(d)    insofar as is 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 by means of an open tendering or selective tendering;


(e)    for goods purchased on a commodity market or exchange;

(f)    when 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 prototype or 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)    if additional construction services that were not included in the initial contract but were within the objectives of the original tender documentation have, due to unforeseeable circumstances, become necessary to complete the construction services described therein;

(h)    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

(i)    when 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

ARTICLE 9.15

Electronic Auctions

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

(a)    the automatic evaluation method 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; and

(b)    any other relevant information relating to the conduct of the auction.


ARTICLE 9.16

Treatment of Tenders and Awarding of Contracts

Treatment of Tenders

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.

Awarding of Contracts

3.    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 submitted by a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation.

4.    Unless a procuring entity determines that it is not in the public interest to award a contract, it shall award the contract to the supplier that the procuring 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)    where price is the sole criterion, the lowest price.

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

6.    A procuring entity shall not use options, cancel a covered procurement or modify awarded contracts in a manner that circumvents the obligations under this Chapter.

ARTICLE 9.17

2.    Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 9.18 (Disclosure of Information), a procuring entity shall, on request, provide an unsuccessful supplier with an explanation of the reasons why the procuring entity did not select its tender and, for suppliers meeting the conditions for participation whose tenders pass technical specifications, the relative advantages of the successful supplier's tender.


Publication of Award Information

3.    Not later than 30 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 Section H (Publication of Procurement Information) of the Annexes to this Chapter. Where the procuring 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:

Disclosure of Information

Provision 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, where applicable, information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender. The other Party shall not disclose it to any supplier, except after consulting with, and obtaining the agreement of, the Party that provided the information.

Non-Disclosure of Information

2.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any supplier information that could prejudice legitimate commercial interests of another supplier or that might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.

3.    Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed as requiring a Party, including its procuring entities, authorities and review bodies, to disclose confidential information where 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 9.19

Domestic Review

1.    Each Party shall maintain, establish or designate at least one impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of its procuring entities to review, in a non-discriminatory, timely, transparent and effective manner, a challenge by a supplier of:

(a)    a breach of this Chapter, or

(b)    a failure of a procuring entity to comply with a Party's measures implementing this Chapter, where the supplier does not have a right to challenge directly a breach of this Chapter under the domestic law of a Party,

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 case 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, where appropriate, the procuring entity and the supplier to seek resolution of the complaint through consultations. The procuring entity shall accord impartial and timely consideration to any such complaint in a manner that is not prejudicial to the supplier's participation in ongoing or future procurement or to its right to seek corrective measures under the administrative or judicial review procedures. Each Party or its procuring entities shall make information on such complaint mechanisms generally available.

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.    Where a body other than an authority referred to in paragraph 1 initially reviews a challenge, the Party shall ensure that the supplier may lodge an appeal against the initial decision with an impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of the procuring entity whose procurement is the subject of the challenge.

5.    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 in the proceedings (hereinafter referred to as "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;

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

(a)    rapid interim measures, pending the resolution of a challenge, 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, when a review body has determined that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1. The compensation for the damages suffered may be limited to either the costs reasonably incurred in the preparation of the tender or in bringing the challenge, or both.


ARTICLE 9.20

Modification and Rectification to Coverage

1.    A Party shall notify the other Party in writing of any proposed modification or rectification to its coverage (hereinafter referred to as "modification").

2.    For any proposed withdrawal of an entity from its coverage in exercise of its rights on the grounds that government control or influence over it has been effectively eliminated, the Party proposing the modification (hereinafter referred to as "modifying Party") shall include in the notification evidence that such government control or influence has been effectively eliminated.

3.    Government control or influence over an entity is deemed to be effectively eliminated when the modifying Party, including for the Union its central government entities and its sub-central government entities, and for Viet Nam its central government entities and sub-central government entities:

(a)    does not own directly or indirectly more than 50 per cent of the entity's subscribed capital or the votes attached to the shares issued by the entity; and

(b)    cannot appoint directly or indirectly more than half of the members of the entity's board of directors or an equivalent body.


4.    For any other proposed modification, the modifying Party shall include in the notification information regarding the likely consequences of the change for the mutually agreed coverage provided in the Agreement. Where the modifying Party proposes to make rectifications of a purely formal nature and minor modifications to its coverage not affecting covered procurement, modifications of this kind shall be notified at least every two years.

Proposed modifications of coverage are deemed to constitute rectifications of a purely formal nature and minor modifications to the Party's coverage in the following cases:

(a)    changes in the name of a procuring entity;

(b)    merger of one or more procuring entities listed in the Party's Annex to this Chapter; or

(c)    the separation of a procuring entity listed in the Party's Annex to this Chapter into two or more entities that are all added to the procuring entities listed in the same Section of the Annex.

5.    The modifying Party may include in its notice an offer of compensatory adjustments for the change to its coverage, if necessary to maintain a level of coverage comparable to that existing prior to the modification. The modifying Party shall not be required to provide compensatory adjustments to the other Party when a proposed modification concerns:

(a)    a procuring entity over which it has effectively eliminated its control or influence in respect of covered procurement by that entity; or


(b)    rectifications of a purely formal nature and minor modifications to its Annex to this Chapter.

Notwithstanding subparagraph (a), should the withdrawal by a modifying Party of a significant number of procuring entities from its coverage on the ground that these entities are no longer under government control or influence in accordance with the criteria set out in paragraph 3 result in a significant imbalance of coverages agreed between the Parties, the modifying Party shall accept to enter into consultations with the other Party to discuss, without prejudice, the modalities for redressing such imbalance.

6.    The other Party shall notify the modifying Party of any objection to the proposed modification within 45 days of the notification.

7.    If the other Party notifies an objection, both Parties shall seek to resolve the issue through consultations. During the consultations, the objecting Party may request further information with a view to clarifying the proposed modification, including the nature of any government control or influence.

8.    If the consultations under paragraph 7 do not resolve the issue, the Parties may use the dispute settlement mechanism provided for in Chapter 15 (Dispute Settlement).

9.    A proposed modification shall become effective only if:

(a)    the other Party has not submitted to the modifying Party a written objection to the proposed modification within 45 days from the date of the notification of the proposed modifications;


(b)    the Parties have reached an agreement; or

(c)    an arbitration panel has issued a final report in accordance with Article 15.11 (Final Report) concluding that the Parties shall give effect to the proposed modification.

ARTICLE 9.21

Cooperation

1.    The Parties recognise their shared interest in cooperating in the promotion of international liberalisation of government procurement markets with a view to achieving enhanced understanding of their respective government procurement systems and to improving access to their respective markets.

2.    Without prejudice to paragraph 4 of Article 9.6 (Notices), the Parties shall endeavour to cooperate in matters such as:

(a)    exchanging experiences and information, such as regulatory frameworks and best practices;

(b)    developing and expanding the use of electronic means in government procurement systems;


(c)    building capability of government officials in best government procurement practices; and

(d)    institutional strengthening for the fulfilment of the provisions of this Chapter.

ARTICLE 9.22

Future Negotiations

Procurement by Electronic Means

1.    The Parties shall review the provisions of Article 9.15 (Electronic Auctions) once Viet Nam's electronic procurement system has been fully developed to take into account possible technological changes and in particular to consider other aspects such as the mathematical formula used for the automatic evaluation method and the possible communication of the results of any initial evaluation to the participants in the auction.

2.    The Parties shall conduct further negotiations on the duration of the period for the storage of data relating to procurement by electronic means once Viet Nam's electronic procurement system is operational.


Market Access

3.    The Parties shall conduct further negotiations on the coverage of additional subcentral government entities no later than 15 years after the date of the entry into force of this Agreement.

CHAPTER 10

COMPETITION POLICY

SECTION A

ANTI-COMPETITIVE CONDUCT

2.    The notification obligation referred to in paragraph 1 is deemed to have been fulfilled if the Party makes the relevant information available on a publicly accessible website, as from 31 December of the calendar year which follows the year when the subsidy had been granted. The first notification shall be made available no later than four years after the date of entry into force of this Agreement.


ARTICLE 10.8

Consultations

1.    If a Party considers that a specific subsidy granted by the other Party, which is not covered by Article 10.9 (Specific Subsidies Subject to Conditions), negatively affects or may negatively affect its trade or investment interests, that Party may express its concern in written form to the other Party and request consultations on the matter.

ARTICLE 10.9

Specific Subsidies Subject to Conditions

1.    The Parties shall apply conditions to the following specific subsidies:

Definitions

For the purposes of this Chapter:

(c)    any measure found to be inconsistent with the provisions referred to in Article 15.2 (Scope) has been withdrawn or amended so as to bring it into conformity with those provisions, as ruled under paragraph 3 of Article 15.14 (Review of Measure Taken to Comply with the Final Report).

That request shall be notified to the Party complained against, and copied to the Trade Committee.
