(a) |
reviewing the information arising from the investigation and whether the conditions laid out in this Article are met; |

3.

In this respect, due consideration shall be given to other factors, including imports of the same product from other countries.
4. Each Party shall ensure that its competent authorities complete any such investigation within one year of the date of its initiation.
5. Neither Party shall apply a bilateral safeguard measure as set out in paragraph 1 of Article 3.10 (Application of Bilateral Safeguard Measure):
|
(a) |
except to the extent, and for such time, as may be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment; |
|
(b) |
for a period exceeding two years, except that that period may be extended by up to two years if the competent authorities of the importing Party determine, in conformity with the procedures specified in this Article, that the measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment and that there is evidence that the industry is adjusting, provided that the total period of application of a safeguard measure, including the period of initial application and any extension thereof, shall not exceed four years; or |

ARTICLE 3.12
Provisional Measures

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 described in paragraph 2 of Article 3.11 (Conditions and Limitations) does not result in a finding that the requirements of Article 3.10 (Application of Bilateral Safeguard Measure) are met.

The exporting Party shall notify the other Party in writing at least 30 days before suspending concessions under this paragraph.
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.

specifying, consistent with Article 2.8 of the TBT Agreement and wherever appropriate, technical regulations based on product requirements in terms of performance rather than in terms of design or descriptive characteristics. |
ARTICLE 4.7
Conformity Assessment Procedures
1. The Parties recognise that a broad range of mechanisms exist to facilitate the acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures, 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) |
the use of accreditation procedures to qualify conformity assessment bodies; |
|
(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 in the respective territories of each Party; and |
|
(g) |
the use of regional or international multilateral recognition agreements and arrangements of which the Parties are parties. |
2. Having regard, in particular, to those considerations, the Parties shall:
|
(a) |
intensify their exchange of information regarding these and other mechanisms, with a view to facilitating the acceptance of conformity assessment results; |
|
(b) |
exchange information on the criteria used to select appropriate conformity assessment procedures for specific products and, in line with Article 5.1.2 of the TBT Agreement, require that conformity assessment procedures shall not be more strict or be applied more strictly than is necessary to give the importing Party adequate confidence that products conform with the applicable technical regulations or standards, taking account of the risks non-conformity would create; |
|
(c) |
exchange information on accreditation policies and consider how to make the best use of international standards for accreditation and the best use of international agreements involving the Parties' accreditation bodies, for example through the mechanisms of the International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation and the International Accreditation Forum; and |
|
(d) |
ensure that, insofar as two or more conformity assessment bodies are authorised by a Party to carry out conformity assessment procedures required for placing the product on the market, economic operators may choose among them. |
3. The Parties reaffirm their obligation 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 national 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.
4. Upon request by either Party, the Parties may decide to engage in 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 substantiate it with relevant information on how this sectoral initiative would facilitate trade between the Parties. In these consultations, all mechanisms described in paragraph 1 may be considered. Where a Party declines such a request from the other Party, it shall, upon request, explain its reasons.
ARTICLE 4.8
Transparency
The Parties reaffirm their transparency obligations under the TBT Agreement with regard to the preparation, adoption and application of standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, and agree:
|
(a) |
where a part of the process of developing a technical regulation is open to public consultation, to take the other Party's views into account and, without discrimination, to provide reasonable opportunities for the other Party and its interested persons to make comments; |
|
(b) |
when making notifications in accordance with Article 2.9 of the TBT Agreement, to allow at least 60 days following the notification for the other Party to provide comments in writing on the proposal and where practicable, to give appropriate consideration to reasonable requests for extending the comment period; |
|
(c) |
to 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; and |
|
(d) |
to make available to the other Party or its economic operators relevant information (for example through a public website, if available) on technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures in force and, as appropriate and available, written guidance on compliance with its technical regulations, upon request and without undue delay. |
ARTICLE 4.9
Market Surveillance
The Parties undertake to exchange information on market surveillance and enforcement activities.
ARTICLE 4.10
Marking and Labelling
1. The Parties note that, according to paragraph 1 of Annex 1 of the TBT Agreement, a technical regulation may include or deal exclusively with marking or labelling requirements, and they agree, where their technical regulations contain mandatory marking or labelling, to ensure that such regulations are not prepared with a view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade, and that such regulations are not more trade restrictive than necessary to fulfil a legitimate objective, as referred to under Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement.
2. The Parties agree that where a Party requires the mandatory marking or labelling of products:
|
(a) |
that Party shall endeavour to restrict its requirements only to those which are relevant for consumers or users of the product or are relevant to indicate the product's conformity with the mandatory requirements; |
|
(b) |
that Party may specify the information to be provided on the label, and may require compliance with certain regulatory requirements for the affixing of the label, but shall not require any prior approval or certification of labels and markings as a precondition for sale of the products on its market, unless this is deemed necessary in the light of the risk of the product to human, animal or plant health or life; |
|
(c) |
where that Party requires the use of a unique identification number by economic operators, that Party shall ensure that such numbers are issued to the relevant economic operators 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 importing Party of the goods, that Party shall permit the following to be used in the marking or labelling of products:
|
|
(e) |
that Party shall accept that labelling, including re-labelling and corrections to labelling, may take place, where relevant, in authorised premises (for example, in customs warehouses at the point of import) in the territory of the importing Party prior to the distribution and sale of the product, as an alternative to labelling in the place of origin, unless such labelling in the place of origin is required for reasons of public health or safety; and |
|
(f) |
that Party shall endeavour, in cases where it considers that legitimate objectives under the TBT Agreement are not compromised thereby, to accept non-permanent or detachable labels, or marking or labelling in the accompanying documentation rather than physically attached to the product. |
3. Without prejudice to the Parties' rights and obligations under the WTO Agreement, paragraph 2 shall apply to agricultural products, industrial products, and processed agricultural food products, including beverages and spirits.

1. The Parties may recognise the equivalence of an individual measure, groups of measures or systems applicable to a sector or to a part of a sector in accordance with paragraphs 4 to 7. The recognition of equivalence shall be applied to trade between the Parties in animals and animal products, plants and plant products, or, as appropriate, to related goods.
2. Where equivalence has not been recognised, trade shall take place under the conditions required by the importing Party to meet its appropriate level of protection.
3. The recognition of equivalence requires an assessment and acceptance of:
|
(a) |
existing SPS measures in legislation, standards and procedures, including controls related to inspection and certification systems to ensure that the SPS measures of both the exporting Party and the importing Party are met; |
|
(b) |
the documented structure of the competent authorities, their powers, their chain of command, their modus operandi and the resources available to them; and |

(c) |
the performance of the competent authority in relation to the control programmes and assurances. |
4. In their assessments, the Parties shall take account of experience already acquired.
5. The importing Party shall accept a sanitary or phytosanitary measure of the exporting Party as equivalent if the exporting Party objectively demonstrates that its measure achieves the importing Party's appropriate level of protection. For this purpose, reasonable access shall be given, upon request, to the importing Party for inspection, testing and other relevant procedures.
6. The Parties will take into account guidance of the Codex Alimentarius, OIE, IPPC and the WTO SPS Committee in recognising equivalence.
7. Furthermore, where equivalence has been recognised, the Parties may agree on a simplified model for the official sanitary or phytosanitary certificates that are necessary for each consignment of animals or animal products, plants or plant products, or other related goods intended for importation.

3. Computer and related services, regardless of whether they are delivered via a network, including the Internet, include all services that provide any of the following or any combination thereof:
|
(a) |
consulting, adaptation, strategy, analysis, planning, specification, design, development, installation, implementation, integration, testing, debugging, updating, support, technical assistance or management of or for computers or computer systems; |
|
(b) |
consulting, strategy, analysis, planning, specification, design, development, installation, implementation, integration, testing, debugging, updating, adaptation, maintenance, support, technical assistance, management or use of or for software (22); |
|
(c) |
data processing, data storage, data hosting or database services; |
|
(d) |
maintenance and repair services for office machinery and equipment, including computers; and |
|
(e) |
training services for staff of clients, related to software, computers or computer systems, and not elsewhere classified. |
4. The Parties understand that, in many cases, computer and related services enable the provision of other services (23) by both electronic and other means. However, in such cases, there is an important distinction between the computer and related service (e.g., web-hosting or application hosting) and the other service (24) enabled by the computer and related service. The other service, regardless of whether it is enabled by a computer and related service, is not covered by CPC 84.

Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers and rights of way, shall be carried out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands shall be made publicly available, but detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.
2. The Parties understand that decisions on allocating and assigning spectrum and frequency management are not measures that are per se inconsistent with Articles 8.5 (Market Access) and 8.10 (Market Access). 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. The Parties also retain the right to allocate frequency bands in a manner that takes existing and future needs into account.
ARTICLE 8.43
Enforcement
1. Each Party shall ensure that its telecommunications regulatory body maintains appropriate procedures and has the authority to enforce domestic measures relating to the obligations under this Sub-Section.

4. Decisions taken by appeal bodies shall be effectively implemented by the parties concerned in accordance with the applicable domestic law and internal procedures. An appeal shall not relieve a party concerned of its obligation to comply with the underlying regulatory decision unless an appropriate authority has stayed that regulatory decision.

As regards international maritime transport, the Parties agree to ensure the effective application of the principles of unrestricted access to cargoes on a commercial basis, the freedom to supply international maritime transport services, as well as national treatment in the framework of the supply of such services.
In view of the existing levels of liberalisation between the Parties in international maritime transport:

4. In applying these principles, the Parties shall:
|
(a) |
not introduce cargo-sharing arrangements in future agreements with third countries concerning maritime transport services, including dry and liquid bulk and liner trade, and shall terminate, within a reasonable period of time, any such cargo-sharing arrangements that exist in previous agreements; and |
|
(b) |
upon the entry into force of this Agreement, abolish and abstain from introducing any unilateral measures (30) or administrative, technical and other obstacles which could constitute a disguised restriction or could have discriminatory effects on the free supply of services in international maritime transport. |

ARTICLE 9.7
Conditions for Participation
1. Procuring entities shall limit the conditions for participation in a given procurement to those that are essential to ensure that a supplier has the legal, commercial, technical, and financial ability to undertake the relevant procurement.
2. In establishing the conditions for participation, procuring entities:
|
(a) |
shall not impose the condition that, in order for a supplier to participate in a procurement, the supplier has previously been awarded one or more contracts by a procuring entity of a Party, or that the supplier has prior experience in the territory of that Party; but |

its procuring entities make efforts to minimise differences in their qualification procedures; and |
|
(b) |
where its procuring entities maintain registration systems, those procuring entities make efforts to minimise differences in their registration systems. |
3. Neither Party, including its procuring entities, shall adopt or apply any registration system or qualification procedure with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to the participation of suppliers of the other Party in its procurement.
4. Where a procuring entity intends to use selective tendering, that procuring entity shall:
|
(a) |
in the notice of intended procurement include at least the information in subparagraphs 2(a), (b), (f), (g), (j), (k), and (l) of Article 9.6 (Notices) and invite suppliers to submit a request for participation; and |
|
(b) |
by the commencement of the time period for tendering, provide at least the information in subparagraphs 2(c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) of Article 9.6 (Notices) to the qualified suppliers that it notifies in accordance with subparagraph 3(b) of Article 9.10 (Time Periods). |
5. Procuring entities shall allow all qualified suppliers to participate in a particular procurement, unless the procuring entity sets a limit in the notice of intended on the number of suppliers that will be permitted to tender and states the criteria for selecting the limited number of suppliers. In any case, the number of suppliers permitted to submit a tender shall be sufficient to ensure competition without affecting the operational efficiency of the procurement system.
6. Where the tender documentation is not made publicly available from the date of publication of the notice referred to in paragraph 4, the procuring entity shall ensure that those documents are made available at the same time to all the qualified suppliers that have been selected in accordance with paragraph 5.

states the period of validity and that further notices will not be published; and |
|
(b) |
is published by electronic means and is made available continuously during the period of its validity. |
10. Procuring entities shall allow suppliers to apply at any time for inclusion on a multi-use list and shall include on the list all qualified suppliers within a reasonably short time.
11. Where a supplier that is not included on a multi-use list submits a request for participation in a procurement based on a multi-use list and all required documents relating thereto within the time period provided for in paragraph 2 of Article 9.10 (Time Periods), the procuring entity shall examine the request. The procuring entity shall not exclude the supplier from consideration in respect of the procurement on the grounds that the 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.
12. Procuring entities covered under Annex 9-C 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 in paragraph 8, as much of the information in 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 |

13. Procuring entities covered under Annex 9-C may allow a supplier that has applied for inclusion on a multi-use list in accordance with paragraph 10 to tender in a given procurement, where there is sufficient time for the procuring entity to examine whether the supplier satisfies the conditions for participation.
14. Procuring entities shall promptly inform any supplier that submits a request for participation or application for inclusion on a multi-use list of the procuring entity's decision with respect to the request.
15. Where a procuring entity rejects a supplier's request for participation 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, that procuring entity shall promptly inform the supplier and, at the request of the supplier, promptly provide the supplier with a written explanation of the reasons for its decision.
ARTICLE 9.9
Technical Specifications and Tender Documentation
1. Procuring entities shall not prepare, adopt, or apply any technical specification or prescribe any conformity assessment procedure with the purpose or the effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to international trade.
2. In prescribing the technical specifications for the goods or services being procured, procuring entities 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 such exist; otherwise, on national technical regulations, recognised national standards, or building codes. |
3. Where design or descriptive characteristics are used in the technical specifications, procuring entities should indicate, where appropriate, that they 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. Procuring entities 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 include words such as ‘or equivalent’ in the tender documentation.
5. Procuring entities 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, each 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.
7. Where procuring entities lay down environmental characteristics in terms of performance or functional requirement, as referred to in paragraph 2(a), they may consider using the detailed specification or, if necessary, parts thereof, as defined by eco-labels existing within the Union and green labels existing in Singapore, provided that:
|
(a) |
those specifications are appropriate to define the characteristics of the supplies or services that are the object of the contract; |
|
(b) |
the requirements of the label are drawn up on the basis of scientific information; and |
|
(c) |
those specifications are accessible to all interested parties. |
8. Procuring entities shall provide 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 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 of the time periods, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers.
2. Procuring entities that use selective tendering shall establish that, in principle, the final date for the submission of requests for participation shall not be less than 25 days from the date of publication of the notice of intended procurement. Where a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders this time period impracticable, the time period may be reduced to not less than ten days.
3. Except as provided for in paragraphs 4, 5, 7 and 8, procuring entities shall establish that the final date for the submission of tenders shall not be less than 40 days from the date on which:
|
(a) |
in the case of open tendering, the notice of intended procurement is published; or |
|
(b) |
in the case of selective tendering, the procuring entity notifies suppliers that they will be invited to submit tenders, whether or not it uses a multi-use list. |
4. Procuring entities may reduce the time-period for tendering set out in paragraph 3 to not less than ten days where:
|
(a) |
the procuring entity published a notice of planned procurement under paragraph 4 of Article 9.6 (Notices) at least 40 days and not more than twelve months in advance of the publication of the notice of intended procurement, and the notice of planned procurement contains:
|
|
(b) |
the procuring entity, for procurements of a recurring nature, indicated in an initial notice of intended procurement that subsequent notices will provide time periods for tendering based on this paragraph; or |
|
(c) |
a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity has rendered the time period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 impracticable. |
5. Procuring entities may reduce the time period for tendering set out in paragraph 3 by five days for each one of the following circumstances:
|
(a) |
the notice of intended procurement is published by electronic means; |
|
(b) |
all the tender documentation is made available by electronic means from the date of the publication of the notice of intended procurement; and |
|
(c) |
the tenders can be received by electronic means by the procuring entity. |
6. The use of paragraph 5, in conjunction with paragraph 4, shall in no case result in the reduction of the time period for tendering set out in paragraph 3 to less than ten days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, where a procuring entity purchases commercial goods or services, or any combination thereof, it may reduce the time period for tendering set out in paragraph 3 to not less than thirteen days, provided that it publishes by electronic means, at the same time, both the notice of intended procurement and the tender documentation. In addition, where the procuring entity also accepts tenders for commercial goods and services by electronic means, it may reduce the time period set out in paragraph 3 to not less than ten days.
8. Where a procuring entity covered under Annexes 9-B or 9-C 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 ten days.
ARTICLE 9.11
Negotiations
1. Each Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct negotiations:
|
(a) |
where 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) |
where it appears from the evaluation that no one tender is obviously the most advantageous in terms of the specific evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or in another notice used as a notice of intended procurement or tender documentation. |
2. Procuring entities 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 in another notice used as a notice of intended procurement or tender documentation; and |
|
(b) |
where negotiations are concluded, provide a common deadline for the remaining participating suppliers to submit any new or revised tenders. |
ARTICLE 9.12
Limited Tendering
1. Provided that they do not use this provision for the purpose of avoiding competition among suppliers or in a manner that discriminates against suppliers of the other Party or protects domestic suppliers, procuring entities may use limited tendering and may choose not to apply Article 9.6 (Notices), Article 9.7 (Conditions for Participation), Article 9.8 (Qualification of Suppliers), paragraphs 8 to 13 of Article 9.9 (Technical Specifications and Tender Documentation), Article 9.10 (Time Periods), Article 9.11 (Negotiations), Article 9.13 (Electronic Auctions), and Article 9.14 (Treatment of Tenders and Awarding of Contracts) only under any of the following circumstances:
|
(a) |
where:
provided that the procuring entity does not substantially modify the requirements set out in the tender documentation; |
|
(b) |
where the goods or services can be supplied only by a particular supplier and no reasonable alternative or substitute goods or services exist for any of the following reasons:
|
|
(c) |
for additional deliveries by the original supplier of goods and services that were not included in the initial procurement where a change of supplier for such additional goods and services:
|
|
(d) |
insofar as is strictly necessary where, for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the procuring entity, the goods or services could not be obtained in time using open tendering or selective tendering; |
|
(e) |
for goods purchased on a commodity market; |
|
(f) |
where a procuring entity procures a prototype or a first good or service that is developed at its request in the course of, and for, a particular contract for research, experiment, study or original development. Original development of a first good or service may include limited production or supply in order to incorporate the results of field testing and to demonstrate that the good or service is suitable for production or supply in quantity at acceptable quality standards, but does not include quantity production, supply for the purpose of establishing commercial viability, or the recovery of research and development costs; |
|
(g) |
for purchases made under exceptionally advantageous conditions that only arise in the very short term in the case of unusual disposals, such as those arising from liquidation, receivership, or bankruptcy, but not for routine purchases from regular suppliers; and |
|
(h) |
where a contract is awarded to a winner of a design contest, provided that:
|
2. Procuring entities shall prepare a report in writing on each contract awarded under paragraph 1. The report shall include the name of the procuring entity, the value and kind of goods or services procured, and a statement indicating the circumstances and conditions described in paragraph 1 that justified the use of limited tendering.
ARTICLE 9.13
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, including the mathematical formula, that is based on the evaluation criteria set out in the tender documentation and that will be used in the automatic ranking or re-ranking during the auction; |
|
(b) |
the results of any initial evaluation of the elements of its tender where the contract is to be awarded on the basis of the most advantageous tender; and |
|
(c) |
any other relevant information relating to the conduct of the auction. |
ARTICLE 9.14
Treatment of Tenders and Awarding of Contracts
1. Procuring entities shall receive, open, and treat all tenders in accordance with procedures that guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the procurement process, and the confidentiality of tenders.
2. Procuring entities shall not penalise any supplier whose tender is received after the time specified for receiving tenders if the delay was due solely to mishandling on the part of the procuring entity.
3. Where a procuring entity provides a supplier with an opportunity to correct unintentional errors of form between the opening of tenders and the awarding of the contract, the procuring entity shall provide the same opportunity to all participating suppliers.
4. To be considered for an award, a tender shall have been submitted in writing and shall, at the time of opening, comply with the essential requirements set out in the notices and tender documentation, and shall be from a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation.
5. Unless a procuring entity determines that it is not in the public interest to award a contract, the procuring entity 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. |
6. 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, and whether the price takes into account the grant of subsidies.
7. Where a procuring entity establishes that a tender is abnormally low because the supplier has obtained subsidies, it may reject the tender on that ground alone only after having consulted with the supplier and the latter is unable to prove, within a sufficient period fixed by the procuring entity, that the subsidy in question was granted in compliance with the disciplines relating to subsidies laid down in this Agreement.
8. A procuring entity shall not use options, cancel a procurement, or modify awarded contracts, in a manner that circumvents the obligations under this Chapter.
ARTICLE 9.15
Transparency of Procurement Information
1. Procuring entities shall promptly inform participating suppliers of the procuring entity's contract award decisions and, upon the request of a supplier, shall do so in writing. Subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 9.16 (Disclosure of Information), procuring entities shall, upon request, provide an unsuccessful supplier with an explanation of the reasons why the procuring entity did not select its tender and the relative advantages of the successful supplier's tender.
2. Not later than 72 days after the award of each contract covered by this Chapter, the procuring entity shall publish a notice in the appropriate paper or electronic medium listed in Annex 9-H. 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:
|
(a) |
a description of the goods or services procured; |
|
(b) |
the name and address of the procuring entity; |
|
(c) |
the name and address of the successful supplier; |
|
(d) |

3. Each procuring entity shall, for a period of at least three years from the date it awards a contract, maintain:
|
(a) |
the documentation and reports of tendering procedures and contract awards relating to covered procurement, including the reports required under Article 9.12 (Limited Tendering); and |
|
(b) |
data that ensure the appropriate traceability of the conduct of covered procurement by electronic means. |
4. Each Party agrees to communicate to the other Party the available and comparable statistical data relevant to the procurement covered by this Chapter.
ARTICLE 9.16
Disclosure of Information
1. Upon the request of a Party, the other Party shall promptly provide any information necessary to determine whether a procurement was conducted fairly, impartially and in accordance with this Chapter, including information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender. In cases where release of the information would prejudice competition in future tenders, the Party that receives that information shall not disclose such information to any supplier, except after consultation with, and the agreement of, the Party that provided the information.
2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any particular supplier information that might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.
3. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed 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 9.17
Domestic Review Procedures
1. Each Party shall provide a timely, effective, transparent, and non-discriminatory administrative or judicial review procedure through which a supplier may challenge:
|
(a) |
a breach of this Chapter; or |
|
(b) |
where the supplier does not have the right to challenge a breach of this Chapter directly under the domestic law of that Party, a failure to comply with that Party's measures implementing this Chapter, |
arising in the context of a covered procurement in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest. In any case, each Party shall ensure that the review body, upon a challenge by a supplier, can examine decisions taken by their respective procuring entities on whether a particular procurement falls within the procurement that is covered by this Chapter.
The procedural rules for all challenges shall be in writing and made generally available through electronic means or a paper medium.
2. In the event of a complaint by a supplier, that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1 arising in the context of covered procurement in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest, the Party of the procuring entity conducting the procurement shall encourage 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 on-going or future procurement or to its right to seek corrective measures under the administrative or judicial review procedure.
3. Each supplier shall be allowed a sufficient period of time to prepare and submit a challenge, which in no case shall be less than ten days from the time when the basis of the challenge became known to the supplier or reasonably should have become known to the supplier.
4. Each Party shall establish or designate at least one impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of its procuring entities for the purpose of receiving and reviewing challenges by suppliers arising in the context of covered procurements.
5. Where a body other than an authority referred to in paragraph 4 initially reviews a challenge, the relevant Party shall ensure that the supplier may appeal the initial decision to an impartial administrative or judicial authority that is independent of the procuring entity whose procurement is the subject of the challenge.
6. Each Party shall ensure that a review body that is not a court shall have its decision subject to judicial review or have procedures that provide that:
|
(a) |
the procuring entity shall respond in writing to the challenge and disclose all relevant documents to the review body; |
|
(b) |
the participants to the proceedings (hereinafter referred to as ‘participants’) shall have the right to be heard prior to the decision of the review body on the challenge; |
|
(c) |
the participants shall have the right to be represented and accompanied; |
|
(d) |
the participants shall have access to all proceedings; |
|
(e) |
the participants shall have the right to request that the proceedings take place in public and that witnesses may be presented; and |
|
(f) |
the review body shall make its decisions or recommendations, in a timely fashion, in writing, and shall include an explanation of the basis for each decision or recommendation. |
7. Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for rapid interim measures to preserve the supplier's opportunity to participate in the procurement. Such interim measures may result in suspension of the procurement process. The procedures may provide that overriding adverse consequences for the interests concerned, including the public interest, may be taken into account when deciding whether such measures should be applied. Just cause for not acting shall be provided in writing.
8. Each Party shall provide that where a review body has determined that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1, the review body may impose corrective action or grant compensation for the loss or damages suffered, which may be limited to either the costs for the preparation of the tender or the costs relating to the challenge. Where a contract has already been awarded, the Parties may provide that corrective action is not available.
ARTICLE 9.18
Modification and Rectification of Coverage
1. Each Party shall notify the other Party of any proposed rectification of Annexes 9-A to 9-I, any transfer of an entity from one of those Annexes to another, any withdrawal of an entity from those Annexes, or any other modification to those Annexes (such acts collectively referred hereinafter to as a ‘modification’).
2. For any proposed withdrawal by a Party of a procuring entity from Annexes 9-A to 9-C on the grounds that government control or influence over the procuring entity's covered procurement 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. Government control or influence over the covered procurement of entities covered under Annex 9-C is deemed to be effectively eliminated if:
|
(a) |
in the case of the Union, the procuring entity performs a competitive activity; and |
|
(b) |
in the case of Singapore, the procuring entity has been privatised. |
Where government control or influence over the covered procurement of a procuring entity of a Party has been effectively eliminated, the other Party shall not be entitled to compensatory adjustments.
3. For any other proposed modification, the modifying Party shall include in the notification information as to the likely consequences of the change for the coverage provided in this Chapter. Where the modifying Party proposes to make minor amendments or technical rectifications of a purely formal nature not affecting covered procurement, it shall notify these modifications at least every two years.
4. Where the other Party (hereinafter referred to as ‘objecting Party’) objects to the notification by the modifying Party, the Parties shall seek to resolve the objection through consultations, including if necessary, consultations at the Committee on Trade in Services, Investment and Government Procurement established pursuant to Article 16.2 (Specialised Committees). In such consultations, the Parties shall consider:
|
(a) |
evidence pertaining to the effective elimination of government control or influence over an entity's covered procurement in the case of a notification under paragraph 2; |
|
(b) |
evidence that the proposed modification does not affect coverage in the case of a notification under paragraph 3; and |
|
(c) |
any claims relating to the need for compensatory adjustments arising from modifications notified according to paragraph 1 or to the level of such adjustments. Such adjustments may consist either of the compensatory expansion of coverage by the modifying Party or of a withdrawal of equivalent coverage by the objecting Party, in both cases with a view to maintaining a balance of rights and obligations and a comparable level of mutually agreed coverage provided in this Chapter. |
5. The Parties may have recourse to the dispute settlement mechanism under Chapter Fourteen (Dispute Settlement) where the objecting Party, after consultations under paragraph 4, considers that one or more of the following situations exist:
|
(a) |
in the case of subparagraph 4(a), government control or influence over an entity's covered procurement has not been effectively eliminated; |
|
(b) |
in the case of subparagraph 4(b), a modification does not meet the criteria in paragraph 3 and which affects coverage, and should be subject to compensatory adjustments; or |
|
(c) |
in the case of subparagraph 4(c), compensatory adjustments proposed during the consultation between the Parties are not adequate to maintain a comparable level of mutually agreed coverage. |
6. A proposed modification shall only become effective where:
|
(a) |
the objecting Party has not submitted a written objection to the proposed modification to the modifying Party within 45 days of the date of the notification of the proposed modifications; |
|
(b) |
the objecting Party has notified the modifying Party of the withdrawal of its objection; |
|
(c) |
the Parties have reached an agreement after due consultations under paragraph 4; or |
|
(d) |
the objection has been resolved through the dispute settlement mechanism under paragraph 5. |

2. The systems referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain elements such as:
|
(a) |
a domestic register; |
|
(b) |
an administrative process to verify that the geographical indications entered, or to be entered, on the domestic register referred to in subparagraph 2(a), identify a good as originating in the territory of a Party, or a region or locality in that Party's territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to their geographical origin; |
|
(c) |
an objection procedure that allows the legitimate interests of third parties to be taken into account; and |
|

Scope of Protection of Geographical Indications
1. Subject to Article 10.22 (General Rules), in respect of geographical indications for wines, spirits, agricultural products and foodstuffs listed in Annex 10-B that remain protected as geographical indications under its system as referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications), each Party shall provide the legal means for interested parties to prevent:
|
(a) |
the use of any means in the designation or presentation of a good that indicates or suggests that the good in question originates in a geographical area other than its true place of origin in a manner which misleads the public as to the geographical origin of the good; and |
|
(b) |
any other use which constitutes an act of unfair competition within the meaning of Article 10bis (Unfair Competition) of the Paris Convention. |
2. Subject to Article 10.22 (General Rules), in respect of geographical indications for wines and spirits listed in Annex 10-B that remain protected as geographical indications under its system as referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications), each Party shall provide the legal means for interested parties to prevent the use of any such geographical indication identifying wines for wines not originating in the place indicated by the geographical indication in question or identifying spirits for spirits not originating in the place indicated by the geographical indication in question, even where:
|
(a) |
the true origin of the good is indicated; |

the geographical indication is used in translation (50); or |
|
(c) |
the geographical indication is accompanied by expressions such as ‘kind’, ‘type’, ‘style’, ‘imitation’, or the like. |
4. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall require a Party to apply its provisions in respect of a geographical indication in the case of the failure of a right holder to:
|
(a) |
renew the registration of the geographical indication in that Party's market; or |
|
(b) |
maintain minimal commercial activity or interest in the geographical indication in that Party's market, including commercialisation, promotion or market monitoring. |
5. Without prejudice to paragraph 3 of Article 23 of the TRIPS Agreement, each Party shall determine the practical conditions under which homonymous geographical indications will be differentiated from each other in its territory, taking into account the need to ensure equitable treatment of the producers concerned and the need to ensure that consumers are not misled.
6. Where a Party receives an application for registration or protection of a geographical indication that is homonymous with one of the geographical indications in Annex 10-B, that Party will take into consideration the views and submissions of the applicant and the producers concerned (51) in determining the conditions under which the homonymous geographical indications will be differentiated from each other.
ARTICLE 10.20
Right of Use of Geographical Indications
The persons who may use a geographical indication protected under Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) are not limited to the applicant, provided that such use relates to the goods as identified by that geographical indication.

Subject to Article 10.22 (General Rules), in respect of geographical indications listed in Annex 10-B that remain protected as geographical indications under a Party's system as referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications), the registration of a trademark for goods which contains or consists of a geographical indication that identifies like goods shall be refused or invalidated ex officio if that Party's domestic law so permits, or at the request of an interested party, with respect to goods not having the origin of the geographical indication concerned, provided that the application to register the trademark is submitted after the date of application for the registration of the geographical indication in the territory concerned.
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, the Parties acknowledge that the existence of a prior conflicting trademark in the territory of a Party would not completely preclude the registration of a subsequent geographical indication for like goods in that Party (52).
3. Where a trademark has been applied for or has been registered in good faith, or where rights to a trademark have been acquired through use in good faith, if that possibility is provided by the Parties' respective domestic laws, and such application, registration or acquisition takes place either:
|
(a) |
before the date of application for protection of the geographical indication in the territory concerned; or |
|
(b) |
before the geographical indication is protected in its country of origin, |
any measures adopted to implement Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall not prejudice the eligibility for or the validity of the registration of a trademark, or the right to use a trademark, on the basis that such a trademark is identical with, or similar to, a geographical indication.
4. The Parties shall have no obligation to protect a geographical indication pursuant to Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) where, in the light of a reputed or well-known trademark, such protection is liable to mislead consumers as to the true identity of the product.
ARTICLE 10.22
General Rules

|
(a) |
for at least ten years preceding 1st January 2004; or |
|
(b) |
in good faith preceding that date. |

|
(a) |
the opposition proceedings during the domestic registration procedures; or |
|
(b) |
any legal proceedings, |
such prior use shall be listed in Annex 10-B, in respect of the geographical indication in question, in accordance with:
|
(i) |
the mechanism established in paragraph 3 of Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications), in the case of subparagraph 3(a); and |
|
(ii) |
the mechanism established in Article 10.18 (Amendment of List of Geographical Indications), in the case of subparagraph 3(b). |
4. Each Party may determine the practical conditions under which such prior use will be differentiated from the geographical indication in its territory, taking into account the need to ensure that consumers are not misled.
5. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall require a Party to apply its provisions in respect of a geographical indication of the other Party with respect to goods or services for which the relevant indication is identical to the term customary in common language as the common name for such goods or services in the territory of that Party.
6. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall require a Party to apply its provisions in respect of any name contained in a geographical indication of the other Party with respect to goods or services for which the name is identical to the term customary in common language as the common name for such goods or services in the territory of that Party.

8. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall prevent a Party from protecting as a geographical indication, in accordance with its domestic law, a term that conflicts with the name of a plant variety or animal breed.
9. A Party may provide that any request made under Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) in connection with the use or registration of a trademark must be presented within five years after the adverse use of the protected indication has become generally known in that Party or within five years after the date of registration of the trademark in that Party, provided that the trademark has been published by that date, if the date of registration is earlier than the date on which the adverse use became generally known in that Party, and provided that the geographical indication is not used or registered in bad faith.
10. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall prejudice the right of any person to use, in the course of trade, that person's name or the name of that person's predecessor in business, except where such name is used in such a manner as to mislead the public.
11. Nothing in Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications) shall oblige a Party to protect a geographical indication of the other Party which is not or has ceased to be protected in accordance with the domestic law of its country of origin.

|
(a) |
take into account, as appropriate, the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement and the interests of third parties; |

be fair and equitable; |
|
(c) |
not be unnecessarily complicated or costly, or entail unreasonable time limits or unwarranted delays; and |
|

3. Nothing in this Chapter shall affect the capacity of either Party to enforce its domestic law in general or create any obligation on either Party to amend its existing laws as they relate to the enforcement of intellectual property rights. Without prejudice to the foregoing general principles, nothing in this Chapter shall create any obligation on either Party:

to put in place a judicial system for the enforcement of intellectual property rights that is distinct from that for the enforcement of law in general; or |
|

In civil judicial proceedings instituted for infringement of an intellectual property right, each Party shall take appropriate measures, pursuant to its domestic law and policies, to publish or make available to the public information on final judicial decisions. Nothing in this Article shall require a Party to disclose confidential information, the disclosure of which would impede law enforcement or otherwise be contrary to the public interest or would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of particular enterprises, public or private. Each Party may provide for other additional publicity measures which are appropriate to the particular circumstances, including prominent advertising.
ARTICLE 10.38
Availability of Civil Measures, Procedures and Remedies

Measures for Preserving Evidence
1. Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional measures:
|
(a) |
against a party or, where appropriate, a third party over whom the relevant judicial authority exercises jurisdiction, to prevent an infringement of any intellectual property right from occurring, and in particular to prevent goods that involve the infringement of an intellectual property right from entering into the channels of commerce; and |
|
(b) |
to preserve relevant evidence in regard to the alleged infringement. |
2. Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to adopt provisional measures inaudita altera parte where appropriate, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the right holder or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed.

3. At least in cases of copyright or related rights infringement and in cases of trademark counterfeiting, each Party shall provide that in civil judicial proceedings, its judicial authorities, have the authority to order the seizure or taking into custody of suspect goods, of materials and implements relevant to the act of infringement, and, at least for trademark counterfeiting, of documentary evidence, either original or copies thereof, relevant to the infringement.
4. Each Party shall provide that its authorities have the authority to require the applicant, with respect to provisional measures, to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant's right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent, and to order the applicant to provide a security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse. Such security or equivalent assurance shall not unreasonably deter recourse to procedures for such provisional measures.
5. Where the provisional measures are revoked, or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon the request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by those measures.
ARTICLE 10.40
Evidence and Right of Information
1. Without prejudice to each Party's domestic law governing privilege, the protection of confidentiality or the processing of personal data, each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities have the authority, upon a justified request of the right holder, to order the infringer or, in the alternative, the alleged infringer, to provide, to the right holder or to the judicial authorities, at least for the purpose of collecting evidence, relevant information as provided for in its applicable laws and regulations that the infringer or alleged infringer possesses or controls.
2. The relevant information referred to in paragraph 1 may include information regarding any person involved in any aspect of the infringement or alleged infringement and regarding the means of production or the channels of distribution of the infringing or allegedly infringing goods or services, including the identification of third persons alleged to be involved in the production and distribution of such goods or services and of their channels of distribution.
ARTICLE 10.41
Other Remedies
1. Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings where a judicial decision is taken finding an infringement of a right holder's intellectual property right, its judicial authorities shall, upon application by the right holder, have the authority, at least with respect to pirated copyright goods and counterfeit trademark goods, to order:
|
(a) |
that such infringing goods, without compensation of any sort, be:
|
|
(b) |
that materials and implements, the predominant use of which has been in the manufacture or creation of such infringing goods, shall be, without undue delay and without compensation of any sort, destroyed or disposed of outside the channels of commerce in such a manner as to minimise the risks of further infringements. |
2. In considering any application by a right holder, as referred to in paragraph 1, the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement and the remedies ordered as well as the interests of third parties shall be taken into account.
3. The remedies under this Article may be carried out at the expense of the infringer.

Injunctions
Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings where a judicial decision is taken finding an infringement of a right holder's intellectual property right, its judicial authorities shall, upon application by the right holder, have the authority to issue against the infringer or, where appropriate, against a third party over whom the relevant judicial authority exercises jurisdiction, an injunction aimed at prohibiting the continuation of the infringement. Where provided for by the Party's domestic law, non-compliance with an injunction shall, where appropriate, be subject to a recurring penalty payment with a view to ensuring compliance.
ARTICLE 10.43
Alternative Measures
Each Party may provide in its domestic law that, in civil judicial proceedings where a judicial decision is taken finding an infringement of a right holder's intellectual property right, in appropriate cases and on application by the person liable to be subject to the measures provided for in Article 10.41 (Other Remedies) and/or Article 10.42 (Injunctions), its judicial authorities have the authority to order pecuniary compensation to be paid to the injured party instead of applying the measures provided for in Article 10.41 (Other Remedies) and/or Article 10.42 (Injunctions), provided that the applicant acted unintentionally and without negligence, the execution of the measures in question would cause disproportionate harm to the applicant, and pecuniary compensation to the injured party appears reasonably satisfactory (67).
ARTICLE 10.44
Damages
1. Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities have the authority to order the infringer who, knowingly or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in infringing activity to pay the right holder damages adequate to compensate for the injury the right holder has suffered as a result of the infringement.
2. In determining the amount of damages for infringement of intellectual property rights, a Party's judicial authorities shall have the authority to consider, inter alia, any legitimate measure of value the right holder submits, which may include lost profits, the value of the infringed goods or services measured by the market price, or the suggested retail price (68). At least in cases of copyright or related rights infringement and trademark counterfeiting, each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to order the infringer to pay the right holder the infringer's profits that are attributable to the infringement, whether as an alternative to or in addition to or as part of the damages.
3. As an alternative to paragraph 2, each Party may provide that its judicial authorities have the authority, in appropriate cases, to set the damages as a lump sum on the basis of elements such as at least the amount of royalties or fees which would have been due if the infringer had requested authorisation to use the intellectual property right in question.
4. Nothing in this Article precludes either Party from providing that where the infringer did not knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engage in infringing activity, its judicial authorities may order the recovery of profits or the payment of damages which may be pre-established.
ARTICLE 10.45
Legal Costs
Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities, where appropriate, have the authority to order, at the conclusion of civil judicial proceedings concerning infringement of intellectual property rights, that the prevailing party be awarded payment by the losing party of court costs or fees and appropriate attorney's fees, or any other expenses as provided for under that Party's domestic law.
ARTICLE 10.46
Presumptions Relating to Copyright and Related Rights
In civil proceedings involving copyright or related rights, each Party shall provide for a presumption that, at least with respect to a literary or artistic work, performance or phonogram, in the absence of proof to the contrary, the natural or legal person whose name appears on such work, performance or phonogram in the usual manner, is the right holder and is consequently entitled to institute infringement proceedings.
ARTICLE 10.47
Liability of Intermediary Service Providers
1. Subject to paragraphs 2 to 6, each Party shall provide for exemptions or limitations in its domestic law regarding the liability of, or scope of remedies available against, service providers for infringements of copyright or related rights or trademarks that take place through systems or networks controlled or operated by them or on their behalf.

Without prejudice to paragraphs 1 to 3, each Party may establish appropriate procedures for effective notifications of claimed infringement and effective counter-notifications by those whose material is removed or disabled through mistake or misidentification.
5. This Article is without prejudice to the availability of defences to the infringement of copyright or related rights, or trademarks, that are of general applicability. This Article shall not affect the possibility of the court or administrative authority of a Party, in accordance with its legal system, requiring the service provider to terminate or prevent an infringement.
6. Either Party may request consultations with the other Party to consider how to address future functions of a nature similar to those addressed in this Article.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
COMPETITION AND RELATED MATTERS
SECTION A
ANTI-COMPETITIVE CONDUCT AND MERGERS
ARTICLE 11.1
Principles
1. The Parties recognise the importance of free and undistorted competition in their trade relations. They acknowledge that anti-competitive business conduct and anti-competitive transactions have the potential to distort the proper functioning of their markets and undermine the benefits of trade liberalisation.
2. To promote free and undistorted competition in all sectors of their economy, each Party shall maintain in its respective territory comprehensive legislation which effectively addresses the following practices, where such practices affect trade between the Parties:
|
(a) |
horizontal and vertical agreements (73) between undertakings, decisions by associations of undertakings, and concerted practices, which have as their object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in the territory of either Party as a whole or in a substantial part thereof; |
|
(b) |
abuses by one or more undertakings of a dominant position in the territory of either Party as a whole or in a substantial part thereof; and |
|
(c) |
concentrations between undertakings which result in a substantial lessening of competition or which significantly impede effective competition, in particular as a result of the creation or strengthening of a dominant position in the territory of either Party as a whole or in a substantial part thereof. |
ARTICLE 11.2
Implementation
1. Each Party shall maintain its autonomy in developing and enforcing its law. The Parties undertake, however, to maintain authorities that are responsible for, and appropriately equipped to effectively enforce the legislation referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 11.1 (Principles).
2. The Parties will apply their respective legislation referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 11.1 (Principles) in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner, respecting the principles of procedural fairness and the rights of defence of the parties concerned, including the right of the parties concerned to be heard prior to the taking of a decision in a case.
SECTION B
PUBLIC UNDERTAKINGS, UNDERTAKINGS ENTRUSTED WITH SPECIAL OR EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS AND STATE MONOPOLIES
ARTICLE 11.3
Public Undertakings and Undertakings Entrusted with Special or Exclusive Rights
1. Nothing in this Chapter prevents a Party from establishing or maintaining public undertakings, or entrusting undertakings with special or exclusive rights according to its respective law.
2. Each Party shall ensure that public undertakings and undertakings that are entrusted with special or exclusive rights are subject to the legislation referred to in Section A (Anti-Competitive Conduct and Mergers), insofar as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
3. Each Party shall ensure that undertakings entrusted with special or exclusive rights do not use those special or exclusive rights to engage either directly or indirectly, including through their dealings with their parents, subsidiaries, or other undertakings with common ownership, in anti-competitive practices in another market in respect of which such undertakings have no special or exclusive rights, that adversely affect investments, trade in goods or services of the other Party.
4. Singapore shall ensure that any public undertaking and any undertaking entrusted with special or exclusive rights acts solely in accordance with commercial considerations in its purchase or sale of goods or services, such as with regard to price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation, and other terms and conditions of purchase or sale, and provides non-discriminatory treatment to establishments of the Union, to goods of the Union, and to service suppliers of the Union.
ARTICLE 11.4
State Monopolies
While nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to prevent a Party from designating or maintaining state monopolies, each Party shall adjust state monopolies of a commercial character to ensure no discrimination is exercised by such monopolies regarding the conditions under which goods and services are procured from and marketed to natural or legal persons of the other Party.
SECTION C
SUBSIDIES
ARTICLE 11.5
Definition and Scope
1. For the purposes of this Agreement, a subsidy is a measure which fulfils the conditions set out in Article 1.1 of the SCM Agreement, mutatis mutandis, irrespective of whether the subsidy is granted in relation to the production of goods or of services (74).
2. Subsidies shall be subject to this Chapter only if they are specific, within the meaning of Article 2 of the SCM Agreement. Any subsidy falling under Article 11.7 (Prohibited Subsidies) shall be deemed to be specific.
3. Articles 11.7 (Prohibited Subsidies), 11.8 (Other Subsidies) and 11.10 (Review Clause) and Annex 11-A shall not apply to fisheries subsidies, subsidies related to products covered by Annex 1 of the Agreement on Agriculture and other subsidies covered by the Agreement on Agriculture.
ARTICLE 11.6
Relationship with the WTO
The provisions in this Section are without prejudice to the rights and obligations of a Party under the WTO Agreement, in particular to apply trade remedies or to engage in dispute settlement proceedings or other appropriate action against a subsidy granted by the other Party.
ARTICLE 11.7
Prohibited Subsidies
1. With respect to subsidies related to trade in goods, the Parties affirm their rights and obligations under Article 3 of the SCM Agreement, which is hereby incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
2. The following subsidies related to trade in goods and services shall be prohibited unless the subsidising Party upon the request of the other Party has demonstrated that the subsidy in question does not affect trade of the other Party nor will be likely to do so:
|
(a) |
any legal arrangements whereby a government or any public body is responsible for covering debts or liabilities of certain undertakings without any limitation in law or in fact as to the amount of those debts and liabilities or the duration of such responsibility; and |
|
(b) |
any support to insolvent or ailing undertakings in whatever form (such as loans and guarantees, cash grants, capital injections, provision of assets below market prices, tax exemptions) without a credible restructuring plan, based on realistic assumptions, with a view to ensuring the return of the ailing undertaking to long-term viability within a reasonable time, and without the undertaking itself significantly contributing to the costs of restructuring (75). |
3. Subparagraphs 2(a) and 2(b) do not prevent a Party from providing subsidies to remedy a serious disturbance in its economy. A serious disturbance in the economy of a Party means an exceptional, temporary and significant crisis which affects the whole economy of the Party rather than a specific region or economic sector of that Party.
4. Subparagraph 2(b) does not apply to subsidies granted as compensation for carrying out public service obligations nor to subsidies to the coal industry.
ARTICLE 11.8
Other Subsidies
1. The Parties agree to use their best endeavours to apply their competition law or other laws to remedy or remove distortions of competition caused by other specific subsidies related to trade in goods and services which are not covered by Article 11.7 (Prohibited Subsidies), insofar as they affect or are likely to affect trade of either Party, and also to prevent the occurrence of such situations. Annex 11-A contains guidance in particular on the types of subsidies which do not produce these effects.
2. The Parties agree to exchange information at the request of either Party and hold a first dialogue within two years of the entry into force of this Agreement with a view to developing rules applicable to other subsidies, taking into account developments at multilateral level. To that end, the Parties may take a decision in the Trade Committee.
ARTICLE 11.9
Transparency
1. Each Party shall ensure transparency in the area of subsidies that relate to trade in goods or to the supply of services. To that end, each Party shall report every two years to the other Party on the legal basis, the form, and to the extent possible, the amount or budget, and the recipients of subsidies granted by its government or any public body.
2. Such report shall be deemed to have been provided if the relevant information was made available by the Parties, or on their behalf, on a publicly accessible website by June of the second calendar year after the subsidies were granted.
ARTICLE 11.10
Review Clause
The Parties shall keep under constant review the matters to which reference is made in this Section. Each Party may refer such matters to the Trade Committee.

ARTICLE 11.12
Confidentiality
1. When a Party communicates information under this Agreement, that Party shall ensure the protection of business secrets and other confidential information.
2. When a Party communicates information in confidence under this Agreement, the receiving Party shall, consistent with its laws and regulations, maintain the confidentiality of that communicated information.
ARTICLE 11.13

In its requests, the Party shall indicate, if relevant, how the matter affects trade between the Parties.
2. The Parties shall promptly discuss, upon the request of a Party, any questions arising from the interpretation or application of Section A (Anti-Competitive Conduct and Mergers), Section B (Public Undertakings, Undertakings Entrusted with Special or Exclusive Rights and State Monopolies) or Section D (General Matters).
3. To facilitate discussion of the matter that is the subject of the consultations, each Party shall endeavour to provide relevant non-confidential information to the other Party.
ARTICLE 11.14
Dispute Settlement and Mediation Mechanism
Neither Party may have recourse to Chapter Fourteen (Dispute Settlement) and Chapter Fifteen (Mediation Mechanism) for any matter arising under this Chapter except for Article 11.7 (Prohibited Subsidies).

4. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent a Party from adopting or maintaining measures to implement the multilateral environmental agreements to which they are party, provided that such measures are not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between the Parties or a disguised restriction on trade.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
ARTICLE 12.11
Trade and Investment Promoting Sustainable Development
1. The Parties resolve to make continuing special efforts to facilitate and promote trade and investment in environmental goods and services, including through addressing related non-tariff barriers. The Parties also recognise the usefulness of efforts to promote trade in goods that are the subject of voluntary or private sustainable development assurance schemes, such as eco-labelling, or fair and ethical trade.
2. The Parties shall pay special attention to facilitating the removal of obstacles to trade or investment concerning climate-friendly goods and services, such as sustainable renewable energy goods and related services and energy efficient products and services, including through the adoption of policy frameworks conducive to the deployment of best available technologies and through the promotion of standards that respond to environmental and economic needs and minimise technical obstacles to trade.
3. The Parties recognise the need to ensure that, when developing public support systems for fossils fuels, proper account is taken of the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and of the need to limit distortions of trade as much as possible. While subparagraph 2(b) of Article 11.7 (Prohibited Subsidies) does not apply to subsidies to the coal industry, the Parties share the goal of progressively reducing subsidies for fossil fuels. Such reductions may be accompanied by measures to alleviate the social consequences associated with the transition to low carbon fuels. In addition, both Parties will actively promote the development of a sustainable and safe low-carbon economy, such as through investment in renewable energies and energy efficient solutions.
4. When promoting trade and investment, the Parties should make special efforts to promote corporate social responsibility practices which are adopted on a voluntary basis. In this regard, each Party shall refer to relevant internationally accepted principles, standards or guidelines to which it has agreed or acceded, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Global Compact, and the ILO Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy. The Parties commit to exchanging information and cooperating on promoting corporate social responsibility.

2. In case of any disagreement referred to in paragraph 1, a Party may request consultations with the other Party by delivering a written request to the contact point of the other Party. Consultations shall commence promptly after a Party has delivered a request for consultations.
3. The Parties shall make every attempt to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution of the matter. The Parties shall take into account the activities of the ILO or relevant multilateral environmental organisations or bodies so as to promote greater cooperation and coherence between the work of the Parties and these organisations. Where relevant, the Parties, subject to mutual agreement, may seek the views of these organisations or bodies, or of any person or body the Parties deem appropriate, in order to fully examine the matter.

At its meetings, the Board will review the list and ensure that it is maintained at least at the level of twelve individuals.
4. The list referred to in paragraph 3 shall comprise individuals with specialised knowledge or expertise regarding the issues addressed in this Chapter, regarding labour or environmental law, or regarding the resolution of disputes arising under international agreements. Those individuals shall be independent, shall serve in their individual capacities, and shall neither take instructions from any organisation or government with regard to issues related to the matter at stake nor be affiliated with the government of Singapore, the government of any Member State of the Union, or the Union.

identify the specific measure at issue; |
|
(b) |
provide a statement of the alleged adverse effects that the requesting Party believes the measure has, or will have, on trade or investment between the Parties; and |

ARTICLE 15.5
Rules of the Mediation Procedure
1. Within 10 days after the appointment of the mediator, the Party having invoked the mediation procedure shall present to the mediator and to the other Party a detailed written description of the problem, describing in particular the operation of the measure at issue and its adverse effects on trade and investment. Within 20 days of the date of delivery of that submission, the other Party may provide its written comments on the description of the problem. Either Party may include any information that it deems relevant in its description of the problem or its comments thereon.
2. The mediator may decide on the most appropriate way of bringing clarity to the measure concerned and its possible adverse effects on trade and investment. In particular, the mediator may organise meetings between the Parties, may consult the Parties jointly or individually, may seek the assistance of or consult with relevant experts and stakeholders, and may provide any additional support requested by the Parties. However, before seeking the assistance of or consulting with relevant experts and stakeholders, the mediator shall consult with the Parties.
3. The mediator may offer advice and may propose a solution for the consideration of the Parties, who may accept or reject the proposed solution or may agree on a different solution. However, the mediator shall not advise or give comments on whether the measure at issue is consistent with this Agreement.
4. The mediation procedure shall take place in the territory of the Party to which the request was addressed or, by mutual agreement, at any other location or by any other means.
5. The Parties shall endeavour to reach a mutually agreed solution within 60 days of the appointment of the mediator. Pending a final agreement, the Parties may consider possible interim solutions, especially if the measure relates to perishable goods.
6. The solution may be adopted by means of a decision of the Trade Committee. Either Party may make such solution subject to the completion of any necessary internal procedures. Mutually agreed solutions shall be made publicly available. However, the version disclosed to the public may not contain any information that a Party has designated as confidential.
7. The mediation procedure shall be terminated:
|
(a) |
by the adoption of a mutually agreed solution by the Parties, in which case the mediation procedure shall terminate on the date of adoption; |
|
(b) |
by the mutual agreement of the Parties at any stage of the mediation procedure, in which case the mediation procedure shall terminate on the date of that agreement; |
|
(c) |
by the written declaration of the mediator, after having consulted with the Parties, that further efforts at mediation would be to no avail, in which case the mediation procedure shall terminate on the date of such declaration; or |
|
(d) |
by the written declaration of either Party after having explored mutually agreed solutions under the mediation procedure and after having considered any advice and proposed solutions by the mediator, in which case the mediation procedure shall terminate on the date of that declaration. |

3. At the request of the Parties, the mediator shall issue to the Parties a draft written factual report, which shall provide a brief summary of: (i) the measure at issue in these proceedings; (ii) the procedures followed; and (iii) any mutually agreed solution reached as the final outcome of these proceedings, including possible interim solutions. The mediator shall provide the Parties 15 days to comment on the draft report.

positions taken by a Party in the course of the mediation procedure; |
|
(b) |
the fact that a Party has indicated its willingness to accept a solution to the measure subject to mediation; or |

(6) The Union understands that the concept of ‘effective and continuous link’ with the economy of a Member State of the Union enshrined in Article 54 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as ‘TFEU’) is equivalent to the concept of ‘substantive business operations’. Accordingly, for a juridical person set up in accordance with the laws of Singapore and having only its registered office or central administration in the territory of Singapore, the Union shall only extend the benefits of this Agreement if that juridical person possesses an effective and continuous economic link with the economy of Singapore.

Such treatment shall be extended to the establishment through which the economic activity is performed and need not be extended to any other parts of the entrepreneur located outside the territory where the economic activity is performed.

(19) This Article is without prejudice to the rights and obligations deriving from bilateral visa waiver agreements between Singapore and one of the Member States of the Union.
(20) Licensing or authorisation fees do not include payments for auction, tendering or other non-discriminatory means of awarding concessions, or mandated contributions to universal service provision.
(21) ‘CPC’ means the Central Products Classification as set out in Statistical Office of the United Nations, Statistical Papers, Series M, No 77, CPC prov, 1991.
(22) The term ‘software’ means the sets of instructions required to make computers work and communicate. A number of different programmes may be developed for specific applications (application software), and the customer may have a choice of using ready-made programmes off the shelf (packaged software), developing specific programmes for particular requirements (customised software) or using a combination of the two.

(29) Licensing or authorisation fees do not include payments for auction, tendering or other non-discriminatory means of awarding concessions, or mandated contributions to universal service provision.
(30) For the purposes of this subparagraph, the term ‘measures’ shall comprise only measures that adversely discriminate based on the nationality or geographic area(s) of origin of the natural or juridical person to which the measure is applied.
(31) The public order exception may be invoked only where a genuine and sufficiently serious threat is posed to one of the fundamental interests of society.
(32) Measures that are aimed at ensuring the effective or equitable imposition or collection of direct taxes include measures taken by a Party under its taxation system which:
|
(a) |
apply to non-resident entrepreneurs and service suppliers in recognition of the fact that the tax obligation of non-residents is determined with respect to taxable items sourced or located in the Party's territory; |
|
(b) |
apply to non-residents in order to ensure the imposition or collection of taxes in the Party's territory; |
|
(c) |
apply to non-residents or residents in order to prevent the avoidance or evasion of taxes, including compliance measures; |
|
(d) |
apply to consumers of services supplied in or from the territory of the other Party in order to ensure the imposition or collection of taxes on such consumers derived from sources in the Party's territory; |
|
(e) |
distinguish entrepreneurs and service suppliers subject to tax on worldwide taxable items from other entrepreneurs and service suppliers, in recognition of the difference in the nature of the tax base between them; or |
|
(f) |
determine, allocate or apportion income, profit, gain, loss, deduction or credit of resident persons or branches, or between related persons or branches of the same person, in order to safeguard the Party's tax base. |
Tax terms or concepts in subparagraph (f) and in this footnote are determined according to tax definitions and concepts, or equivalent or similar definitions and concepts, under the domestic law of the Party taking the measure.
(33) For the purposes of paragraphs 10, 11 and 13 of this Article and paragraph 2 of Article 9.11 (Negotiations), ‘another notice used as a notice of intended procurement’ means a notice of planned procurement falling within paragraph 5 of Article 9.6 (Notices) and a notice inviting suppliers to apply for inclusion on a multi-use list falling within paragraph 12 of Article 9.8 (Qualification of Suppliers).
(34) In the case of the Union, for the purposes of this Chapter, ‘patents’ include rights derived from supplementary protection certificates.
(35) Without prejudice to Article 10.6 (Producers of Phonograms), the Parties recognise that references to these international agreements are subject to the reservations which each Party has formulated in relation thereto.
(36) For the Union, the term ‘cinematographic works’ also includes audiovisual works.
(37) In the case of the Union, the term of protection expires 70 years after the death of the last person designated as author under its domestic law, which will not in any case be shorter than the minimum duration of protection provided under paragraph 3 of Article 10.5 (Term of Protection).
(38) ‘Producer of a phonogram’ means the person or the legal entity, who or which takes the initiative and has the responsibility for the first fixation of the sounds of a performance or other sounds, or the representations of sounds.
(39) ‘Public performance’ means, in relation to a phonogram, any mode of aural presentation to the public of sounds or representations of sounds fixed in a phonogram.
(40) Singapore shall fully implement the obligations of this Article within two years of the entry into force of this Agreement.
(41) For the purposes of this Article, ‘technological measures’ means any technology, device or component that, in the normal course of its operation, is designed to prevent or restrict acts, in respect of works, performances, or phonograms, which are not authorised by authors, performers or producers of phonograms, as provided for by each Party's domestic law. Without prejudice to the scope of copyright or related rights contained in each Party's domestic law, technological measures shall be deemed effective where the use of protected works, performances, or phonograms is controlled by authors, performers or producers of phonograms through the application of a relevant access control or protection process, such as encryption or scrambling, or a copy control mechanism, which achieves the objective of protection.
(42) Nothing in this Chapter shall require Singapore to restrict the importation or domestic sale of a device that does not render effective a technological measure which sole purpose is to control market segmentation for legitimate copies of motion pictures, and is not otherwise a violation of its domestic law.
(43) In implementing paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, neither Party shall be obligated to require that the design of, or the design and selection of parts and components for, a consumer electronics product, telecommunications product or computing product, provide for a response to any particular technological measure, so long as the product does not otherwise contravene its measures implementing these paragraphs.
(44) For the purposes of this Article, ‘rights management information’ means:
|
(a) |
information that identifies the work, the performance, or the phonogram; the author of the work, the performer of the performance, or the producer of the phonogram; or the owner of any right in the work, performance or phonogram; |
|
(b) |
information about the terms and conditions of use of the work, performance, or phonogram; or |
|
(c) |
any number or codes that represent the information described in subparagraphs (a) and (b), |
when any of these items of information is attached to a copy of a work, performance, or phonogram, or appears in connection with the communication or making available of a work, performance or phonogram to the public.
(45) Singapore is a party to the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks, while the Union shall make all reasonable efforts to facilitate accession to the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks.
(46) The fair use of descriptive terms includes the use of a sign to indicate the geographic origin of the goods or services, and where such use is in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters.
(47) For the purposes of this Chapter, ‘geographical indications’ means indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of a Party, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.
(48) For the purposes of Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications), in the case of Singapore, the procedure for protection of geographical indications refers to the domestic registration procedure under the system established by Singapore pursuant to paragraph 2 of Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications).
(49) For the purposes of this paragraph and paragraph 1 of Article 10.21 (Relationship with Trademarks), the term ‘like good’, in relation to a good for which a geographical indication has been protected in a Party's system as referred to in Article 10.17 (System of Protection of Geographical Indications), means a good that would fall within the same category of good in that Party's register as the good for which a geographical indication has been registered.
(50) For greater certainty, it is understood that this is assessed on a case-by-case basis. This provision does not apply where evidence is provided that there is no link between the protected geographical indication and the translated term. It is further understood that this provision applies without prejudice to the general rules of Sub-Section C (Geographical Indications).
(51) In the case of Singapore, ‘the producers concerned’ refers to the right holders in question.
(52) In the case of Singapore, a geographical indication which conflicts with a prior existing trademark is capable of being registered with the consent of the prior existing trademark rights holder. In the case of the Union, such consent is not a prerequisite to the registration of a geographical indication which conflicts with a prior existing trademark.
(53) For the purposes of Sub-Section (Designs), the Union also grants protection to the unregistered design when it meets the requirements of Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1891/2006 of 18 December 2006.
(54) The Parties agree that when the domestic law of a Party so provides, individual character of designs can also be required. This refers to designs that significantly differ from known designs or combinations of known designs' features. The Union considers designs to have individual character if the overall impression it produces on the informed users differs from the overall impression produced on such a user by any design which has been made available to the public.
(55) It is understood that designs are not excluded from protection simply on the basis that they constitute a part of an article or product, provided that they are visible, fulfil the criteria of this paragraph, and:
|
(a) |
fulfil any other criteria for design protection; and |
|
(b) |
are not otherwise excluded from design protection, |
under the Parties' respective domestic law.
(56) Nothing in this Article precludes either Party from providing other specified exclusions from design protection under its domestic law. The Parties understand that such exclusions shall not be extensive.
(57) In the case of Singapore, the extent to which, and the conditions under which, such protection is enjoyed include the circumstances under section 74 of Singapore's Copyright Act.
(58) For the purposes of this Article and Article 10.33 (Protection of Test Data Submitted to Obtain an Administrative Marketing Approval to put a Pharmaceutical Product on the Market), the term ‘pharmaceutical product’ shall be defined for each Party by the respective legislations of the Parties as at the date of signature of this Agreement. In the case of the Union, the term ‘pharmaceutical product’ refers to ‘medicinal product’.
(59) Singapore undertakes to make available an extension of the duration of the rights conferred by patent protection to compensate the patent owner for the reduction in the effective patent life as the result of the administrative marketing approval process to substances for diagnosis or testing and authorised as a medicinal product.
(60) The conditions and procedures for the provision of the extension of the patent term shall be determined by the respective legislations of the Parties. This is without prejudice to a possible extension for paediatric purposes, if provided for by either Party.
(61) The conditions and procedures for the provision of the protection contemplated under this Article shall be determined by the respective legislations of the Parties.
(62) The Parties shall, five years after the entry into force of this Agreement, initiate without prejudice discussions on the possible extension of the duration of the protection of test data submitted to obtain an administrative marketing approval to put a pharmaceutical product on the market.
(63) In the context of this Article, it is understood that such confidential supporting test data or studies shall not be used for the purpose of determining whether to grant any other application for a period of at least five years:
|
(a) |
in the case of Singapore, from the date that the first application is received; |
|
(b) |
in the case of the Union, from the date of approval of the first application, |
unless the party which had provided the test data or studies has given his consent.
(64) In the case of the Union, for the purposes of this Article, ‘agricultural chemical products’ means active substances and preparations containing one or more active substances, put up in the form in which they are supplied to the user, intended to:
|
(a) |
protect plants or plant products against all harmful organisms or prevent the action of such organisms, in so far as such substances or preparations are not otherwise defined in subparagraphs (b) to (e); |
|
(b) |
influence the life processes of plants, other than as a nutrient (e.g. plant growth regulators); |
|
(c) |
preserve plant products, in so far as such substances or products are not subject to special Council or Commission provisions on preservatives; |
|
(d) |
destroy undesirable plants; or |
|
(e) |
destroy parts of plants, check or prevent undesirable growth of plants. |
(65) In so far as permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of the applicable law, it is understood that the phrase ‘federations and associations’ includes collective rights management bodies and, in the Union context, professional defence bodies which are regularly recognised as having a right to represent holders of intellectual property rights.
(66) A Party may exclude patents from the scope of Section C (Civil Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights).
(67) It is understood that, in the case of Singapore, Singapore may provide that its judicial authorities have the authority to order pecuniary compensation if that person acted unintentionally and without negligence, or if execution of the measures in question would cause him disproportionate harm and if pecuniary compensation to the injured party appears reasonably satisfactory.
(68) In the case of the Union, this would also include, in appropriate cases, elements other than economic factors such as the moral prejudice caused to the right holder by the infringement.
(69) It is understood that the function of transmission includes the function of routing.
(70) It is understood that the function of providing access for material without selection and/or modification of the content also refers to any means that is used to access the communication network and includes instances where connections are provided for the material.
(71) It is understood that the process of caching carried out through an automatic process may refer to the intermediate and temporary storage of material in the course of transmission or providing access to such material.
(72) The Parties will review the possibility of including pirated design goods within the scope of paragraph 2 of this Article within three years of the entry into force of this Agreement. The Parties may, by decision in the Trade Committee, amend paragraph 2 of this Article as a result of such review.
(73) Where the competent authority in Singapore assesses that according to the prohibition laid down in section 34 of the Competition Act (Chapter 50B), the anti-competitive effects of a vertical agreement will likely outweigh its pro-competitive effects, the competent authority will refer the matter to the Minister. The Minister shall decide on the applicability of section 34 of the Competition Act to the vertical agreement in question. This is without prejudice to the possibility of the competent authority in Singapore applying section 47 of the Competition Act, which is applicable to vertical agreements concluded by a dominant firm.
(74) This paragraph does not prejudice the outcome of future discussions in the WTO on the definition of subsidies for services. The Parties shall give positive consideration to the adoption of a possible decision by the Trade Committee to update this Agreement to reflect the agreement reached at the WTO on the definition of subsidies for services.
(75) This does not prevent the Parties from providing temporary liquidity support in the form of loan guarantees or loans limited to the amount needed to merely to keep an ailing undertaking in business for the time necessary to work out a restructuring or liquidation plan.
(76) When ‘labour’ is referred to in this Chapter, it includes the issues relevant to the Decent Work Agenda as agreed on in the ILO and in the Ministerial Declaration of the UN Economic and Social Council on Generating Full and Productive Employment and Decent Work for All of 2006.
(77) The multilateral environmental agreements referred to shall encompass those protocols, amendments, annexes and adjustments binding on the Parties.
(78) For greater certainty, the review of administrative actions can take the form of common law judicial review, and the correction of administrative actions may include a referral back to the body that took such action for corrective action.
(79) For greater certainty, the Parties share an understanding that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any taxation measure aimed at social welfare, public health or other socio-community objectives, or at macroeconomic stability; or tax benefits linked to place of incorporation and not the nationality of the person owning the company. Taxation measures aimed at macroeconomic stability are measures in reaction to movements and trends in the national economy to address or to prevent systemic imbalances which seriously threaten the stability of the national economy.
(80) ‘Freely convertible currency’ means a currency which is widely traded in international foreign exchange markets and widely used in international transactions.
(81) The application of safeguard measures may be extended through their formal reintroduction in case of continuing exceptional circumstances and after having notified the other Party regarding the implementation of any proposed formal reintroduction.

1. |
Relation to the Combined Nomenclature (hereinafter referred to as ‘CN’) of the Union: the provisions of this Schedule are generally expressed in terms of the CN, and the interpretation of the provisions of this Schedule, including the product coverage of subheadings of this Schedule, shall be governed by the General Notes, Section Notes, and Chapter Notes of the CN.

Paragraph 5 to 7 of this Appendix sets out modifications to the entry price scheme that the Union applies to certain fruits and vegetables in accordance with the Common Customs Tariff provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 927/2012 (and successor acts) and Union WTO Schedule CXL. In particular, originating goods of Singapore listed in this Appendix shall be subject to the entry price scheme set out in this Appendix in lieu of the entry price scheme specified in the Common Customs Tariff provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 927/2012 and the Union WTO Schedule CXL. |

Appendix 2-A-2
TARIFF SCHEDULE OF SINGAPORE
1.
The provisions of this Schedule are expressed in terms of the Singapore Trade Classification, Customs and Excise Duties (hereinafter referred to as ‘STCCE’), and the interpretation of the provisions of this Schedule, including the product coverage of subheadings of this Schedule, shall be governed by the General Notes, Section Notes, Chapter Notes and subheading notes of the STCCE. To the extent that provisions of this Schedule are identical to the corresponding provisions of the STCCE, the provisions of this Schedule shall have the same meaning as the corresponding provisions of the STCCE.
2.
Pursuant to Article 2.6 (Reduction or Elimination of Customs Duties on Imports), Singapore shall eliminate customs duties on all originating goods of the Union as of the date of entry into force of this Agreement.
ANNEX 2-B
MOTOR VEHICLES AND PARTS THEREOF
ARTICLE 1
General Provisions
1. This Annex shall apply to all forms of motor vehicles and parts thereof that are traded between the Parties that fall under Chapters 40, 84, 85, 87 and 94 of the HS 2012 (hereinafter referred to as ‘products covered by this Annex’).
2. With regard to the products covered by this Annex, the Parties confirm the following shared objectives and principles:
|
(a) |
eliminating and preventing non-tariff barriers to bilateral trade; |
|
(b) |
promoting compatibility and convergence of regulations based on international standards; |
|
(c) |
promoting recognition of approvals based, in particular, on approval schemes applied under the agreements administered by the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the ‘WP.29’) within the framework of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (hereinafter referred to as ‘UNECE’); |
|
(d) |
establishing competitive market conditions based on the principles of openness, non-discrimination and transparency; |
|
(e) |
securing the protection of human health, safety and the environment; and |
|
(f) |
enhancing cooperation to foster continued mutually beneficial development in trade. |
ARTICLE 2
International Standards
1. The Parties recognise that the WP.29 is the relevant international standard-setting body for the products covered by this Annex (1).
2. If Singapore decides to introduce a type-approval system for products covered by this Annex, Singapore will consider becoming a signatory of the Agreement concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment and Parts which can be fitted and/or be used on Wheeled Vehicles and the Conditions for Reciprocal Recognition of Approvals Granted on the Basis of these Prescriptions, done at Geneva on 20 March 1958.
ARTICLE 3
Regulatory Convergence
|
1. |
|
2. Insofar as a Party has introduced and maintains domestic technical regulations that diverge from existing UNECE Regulations or GTR in accordance with paragraph 1, that Party shall review those domestic technical regulations at regular intervals not exceeding five years, with a view to increasing the convergence of those domestic technical regulations with the relevant UNECE Regulations or GTR. When reviewing their domestic technical regulations, the Parties shall consider whether the circumstances that gave rise to the divergence still exist. The outcome of these reviews, including scientific and technical information used, shall be notified to the other Party upon request.
3. Singapore shall accept new (3) Union products covered by this Annex and which are covered by an EC or UNECE type-approval certificate on its market as complying with its domestic technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, without further testing or marking requirements to verify or attest compliance with requirements covered by an EC (4) or UNECE type-approval. A certificate of conformity, in the case of whole vehicles, or an EC or UNECE type-approval mark affixed to the product, in the case of components and separate technical units, shall be considered sufficient proof of the type-approval certificate.
4. The competent administrative authorities of each Party may verify by random sampling in accordance with its domestic legislation that the products comply with, as appropriate:
|
(a) |
all the domestic technical regulations of the Party; or |
|
(b) |
the domestic technical regulations to which compliance has been attested by an EC Certificate of conformity, in the case of whole vehicles, or an EC or UNECE mark affixed to the product, in the case of components and separate technical units, as referred to in paragraph 3. |
Such verification shall be carried out in accordance with the domestic technical regulations under subparagraphs (a) or (b), as the case may be. Each Party may require a supplier to withdraw a product from its market where the product concerned does not comply with those regulations and requirements.
ARTICLE 4
Products with New Technologies or New Features
1. Neither Party shall prevent or unduly delay the placing on its market of a product covered by this Annex and approved by the exporting Party, on the ground that the product incorporates a new technology or a new feature that the importing Party has not yet regulated, unless the importing Party can demonstrate, based on scientific or technical information, that such new technology or new feature creates a risk for human health, safety or the environment.
2. When a Party refuses the placing on its market, or requires the withdrawal from its market, of a product of the other Party covered by this Annex on the grounds that it incorporates a new technology or a new feature creating a risk for human health, safety or the environment, it shall immediately notify this decision to the other Party and to the economic operators (5) concerned. The notification shall include all relevant scientific or technical information considered in the Party's decision.
ARTICLE 5
Licensing
Neither Party shall apply automatic import licensing or non-automatic import licensing (6) to the products covered by this Annex.
ARTICLE 6
Other Measures Restricting Trade
Each Party shall refrain from nullifying or impairing the market access benefits accruing to the other Party under this Annex through other regulatory measures specific to the sector covered by this Annex. This is without prejudice to the right of each Party to adopt measures necessary for road safety, the protection of the environment or public health and the prevention of deceptive practices, provided such measures are based on substantiated scientific or technical information.
ARTICLE 7
Joint Cooperation
In the Committee on Trade in Goods, the Parties shall cooperate and exchange information on any matters relevant for the implementation of this Annex.
(1) This paragraph is without prejudice to the Parties' rights to accept national standards or technical regulations of other countries.
(2) Paragraphs 1(a) and 2 of Article 3 (Regulatory Convergence) and Article 6 (Other Measures Restricting Trade) of this Annex are without prejudice to Singapore taking traffic management measures such as electronic road pricing, on account of Singapore's specific space constraints.
(3) For the purposes of this paragraph, where the term ‘new Union products covered by this Annex’ refers to whole vehicles, this term is understood to mean vehicles which have never been registered before worldwide.
(4) For greater clarity, the terms ‘EC type-approval’, ‘EC type-approval certificate’, ‘certificate of conformity’ and ‘EC type-approval mark’ shall have the meanings assigned to them under Union legislation, in particular Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 September 2007 establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles (OJ EU L 263, 9.10.2007, p. 1).
(5) Where Singapore is the importing Party, ‘economic operator’ shall mean the importer of the product concerned.
(6) The terms ‘import licensing’, ‘automatic import licensing’ and ‘non-automatic import licensing’ are defined in Articles 1 to 3 of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures.

ARTICLE 2
International Standards
The Parties shall base their technical regulations on international standards, practices and guidelines for pharmaceutical products and medical devices, including those developed by the WHO, the OECD, the ICH, the PIC/S and the GHTF, unless there are substantiated reasons based on scientific or technical information why such international standards, practices or guidelines would be ineffective or inappropriate for the fulfilment of legitimate objectives pursued.
ARTICLE 3
Transparency
1. With respect to measures of general application relating to pharmaceutical products and medical devices, each Party shall ensure that:
|
(a) |
such measures are readily available to interested persons and the other Party, in a non-discriminatory manner, via an officially designated medium and, where feasible and possible, via electronic means, in such manner as to enable interested persons and the other Party to become acquainted with them; |
|
(b) |
an explanation of the objective of and rationale for such measures is provided to the extent possible; and |

(b) |
provide reasonable opportunities for interested persons and the other Party to comment on such proposed measures, allowing, in particular, for sufficient time for such opportunities; and |
|
(c) |
take into account the comments received from interested persons and the other Party with respect to such proposed measures. |
3. To the extent that a Party's health care authorities introduce or operate procedures for the listing, pricing or reimbursement of pharmaceutical products, the Party shall:
|
(a) |
ensure that the criteria, rules, procedures, and where relevant, any guidelines, that apply to the listing, pricing or reimbursement of pharmaceutical products, are objective, fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory, and are available to interested persons upon request; |
|
(b) |
ensure that decisions on all applications for the pricing of pharmaceutical products, or for the approval of such products for reimbursement, are adopted and communicated to the applicant within a reasonable and specified period, which shall be measured from the date of the receipt of the application; if the information submitted by the applicant is deemed inadequate or insufficient and the procedure is suspended as a result, the Party's competent authorities shall notify the applicant of the additional information that is required and shall resume the original decision-making process upon receipt of this additional information; |
|
(c) |
provide applicants with appropriate opportunities to provide comments at relevant points in the decision-making process for pricing and reimbursement decisions, without prejudice to the applicable domestic law on confidentiality; |
|
(d) |
in case of a negative decision on listing, pricing or reimbursement, provide the applicant with a statement of reasons that is sufficiently detailed for the applicant to understand the basis of the decision, including the criteria applied and, if appropriate, provide any expert opinions or recommendations on which the decision is based; in addition, the applicant shall be informed of any remedies available under domestic law and of the time limits for applying for such remedies. |
ARTICLE 4
Regulatory Cooperation
The Committee on Trade in Goods shall:
|
(a) |
monitor and support the implementation of this Annex; |
|
(b) |
facilitate cooperation and the exchange of information between the Parties, with a view to furthering the objectives of this Annex; |
|
(c) |
discuss ways to foster the compatibility of regulatory approval processes wherever possible; and |

|
(b) |
‘medical device’ (1) means any instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, appliance, implant, in vitro reagent or calibrator, software, material, or other similar or related article, intended by the manufacturer to be used, alone or in combination, for human beings for one or more of the specific purpose(s) of:
|
|
(c) |
‘a Party's health care authorities’ means entities that are part of or have been established by a Party to operate or administer its health care programmes, unless otherwise specified; and |
|
(d) |
‘manufacturer’ means the legal right holder of the product in the respective Party's territory. |
(1) For greater clarity, medical device does not achieve its primary intended action in or on the human body by pharmacological, immunological or metabolic means, but may be assisted in its function by such means.
ANNEX 4-A
ELECTRONICS
ARTICLE 1
General Provisions
1. The Parties confirm the following shared objectives and principles:
|
(a) |
eliminating and preventing non-tariff barriers to bilateral trade; |
|
(b) |
basing their standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, wherever appropriate, on relevant international standards; |
|
(c) |
eliminating duplicative and unnecessarily burdensome conformity assessment procedures; and |
|
(d) |
enhancing cooperation to foster the development of their bilateral trade in electronics. |
2. This Annex shall apply only to standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures of either Party that relate to the safety and electromagnetic compatibility (hereinafter referred to as ‘EMC’) of electrical and electronic equipment, electrical household appliances and consumer electronics, as defined in Appendix 4-A-1 (hereinafter referred to as ‘covered products’).
ARTICLE 2
International Standards and Standard-setting Bodies
1. The Parties recognise that the International Organization for Standards (hereinafter referred to as ‘ISO’), the International Electrotechnical Commission (hereinafter referred to as ‘IEC’) and the International Telecommunication Union (hereinafter referred to as ‘ITU’) are the relevant international standard-setting bodies for EMC and for the safety of products covered by this Annex (1).
2. Where relevant international standards established by ISO, IEC and ITU exist, the Parties shall use such international standards or the relevant parts of such standards as a basis for any standard, technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, except for cases where such international standards or relevant parts would be an ineffective or inappropriate means for the fulfilment of legitimate objectives pursued by a Party. In such cases, upon the request of a Party, the other Party shall identify the parts of the respective standard, technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure which substantially deviate from the relevant international standard, and shall justify the deviation.
3. Without prejudice to Article 2.3 of the TBT Agreement, insofar as a Party maintains technical regulations that deviate from existing relevant international standards as referred to in paragraph 2, that Party shall review such technical regulations at regular intervals, which shall not exceed five years, in order to assess whether the circumstances that gave rise to the deviation from the relevant international standard still exist. The outcome of such reviews shall be communicated to the other Party upon request.
4. The Parties shall encourage their standard-setting bodies to participate in the development of international standards in the ISO, IEC and ITU, and to consult within the framework of those international standard-setting bodies, with a view to establishing common approaches.
ARTICLE 3
Innovation
1. No Party shall prevent or unduly delay the placing of a product on its market on the grounds that the product incorporates a new technology or a new feature which has not yet been regulated.
2. Paragraph 1 shall not prejudice the right of the importing Party, where it demonstrates duly substantiated concerns to the supplier of a product referred to in paragraph 1, to require evidence that the new technology or new feature concerned does not create a risk for safety or EMC or for any other legitimate objective as listed in Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
Conformity Assessment Procedures
1. The Parties shall not prepare, adopt or apply conformity assessment procedures with the purpose or effect of creating unnecessary obstacles to trade with the other Party. In principle, Parties should avoid requiring mandatory third-party conformity assessments to prove that covered products comply with applicable technical regulations on safety and/or EMC, and instead should consider the use of a supplier's declaration of conformity and/or post-market surveillance mechanisms to ensure that products conform with relevant standards or technical requirements.
2. Except as provided in Article 5 (Safeguard Measures), Article 6 (Exceptions) and Appendix 4-A-2, insofar as a Party requires a positive assurance of conformity with domestic technical regulations on the safety and/or EMC of covered products, each Party shall accept products on its market on the basis of one or more of the following:
|
(a) |
a supplier's declaration of conformity, where intervention by a conformity assessment body or the testing of the product by a recognised test laboratory is not mandatory and, if testing is undertaken, such testing can be carried out by the manufacturer itself or by a competent body of its choice; or |
|
(b) |
a supplier's declaration of conformity that is based on a test report issued by a Certification Body (‘CB’) Testing Laboratory of the other Party under the CB Scheme of the Worldwide System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE) (hereinafter referred to as ‘IECEE CB Scheme’), and that is accompanied by a valid CB Test Certificate that was issued in accordance with the rules and procedures of the IECEE CB Scheme and with the commitments by the Parties thereunder; or |
|
(c) |
a supplier's declaration of conformity that is based on a test report issued by any testing laboratory or is based on a certificate issued by any certification body in the other Party that has concluded voluntary arrangements for the mutual acceptance of test reports or certificates with one or more conformity assessment bodies designated by the importing Party. |
The choice of basis under this paragraph shall rest with the supplier.
3. The supplier's declaration of conformity referred to in paragraph 2 shall be in accordance with ISO/IEC 17050. The Parties shall accept that the supplier is solely responsible for issuing, changing or withdrawing the declaration of conformity, for preparing the technical documentation which shall enable the assessment whether the products concerned conform with the applicable technical regulations, and for affixing any required markings. The Parties may require that the declaration of conformity be dated and identify the supplier or the supplier's authorised representative in their territories, that the person empowered by the manufacturer or his authorised representative sign the declaration, the products covered by the declaration, and the applied technical regulations to which the declaration of conformity relates.
4. In addition to paragraphs 1 to 3, no Party shall require any form of registration of products or of suppliers, where such registration could prevent or otherwise delay the placing on the market of products that comply with the Party's technical regulations. Where a Party reviews the supplier's declaration, such review shall be limited solely to verifying, on the basis of the documentation submitted, that the test was done in accordance with the Party's relevant technical regulations, and that the information contained in the documentation is complete. Such reviews shall not cause undue delay for the placing of the products on the Party's market, and the Party shall accept the declaration, without exceptions, if the products comply with the Party's technical regulations and the documentation submitted is complete. In the event that a Party rejects a declaration, that Party shall communicate its decision to the supplier, together with an explanation of the grounds for the rejection. At the request of the supplier, the Party shall provide information or guidance, as appropriate, on how to rectify the shortcomings, as well as an explanation of possibilities for appealing the decision.
ARTICLE 5
Safeguard Measures
Notwithstanding Article 4 (Conformity Assessment Procedures), either Party may introduce requirements for mandatory third-party testing or certification of the EMC or safety of covered products, or may introduce administrative procedures for approving or reviewing test reports, for particular covered products under the following conditions:
|
(a) |
there exist compelling reasons related to the protection of human health or safety that justify the introduction of such requirements or procedures, supported by substantiated technical or scientific information; |
|
(b) |
such requirements or procedures are not more trade-restrictive than necessary to fulfil the Party's legitimate objectives, taking into account the risks that non-fulfilment would create; and |
|
(c) |
the Party could not have reasonably foreseen the need for introducing such requirements or procedures at the time of entry into force of this Agreement. |
Without prejudice to Article 2.10 of the TBT Agreement, before introducing the requirements or procedures, each Party shall notify the other Party and, following consultations, shall take the comments of the other Party into account to the greatest extent possible in devising such requirements or procedures. Any requirements that are introduced shall comply with this Annex to the greatest extent possible. Once adopted, any requirement or procedure that is introduced shall be regularly reviewed, and shall be repealed if the reasons for introducing that requirement or procedure no longer exist.
ARTICLE 6
Exceptions
1. Pursuant to Singapore's agreement to substantially reduce the list of products for which it requires a positive assurance of conformity with its mandatory safety and/or EMC requirements, in the form of third-party certification, at the time of entry into force of this Agreement, Singapore shall only require such third-party certification for the product categories listed in Appendix 4-A-2.
2. By the date of entry into force of this Agreement, Singapore shall have undertaken a review of its Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Registration Scheme with a view to reducing the number of products categories that are covered by the scheme and listed in Appendix 4-A-2. Such review shall examine the necessity of maintaining that scheme in its existing form, or whether that scheme's desired outcomes of ensuring human health and safety in Singapore can be achieved with simplified procedures that better facilitate trade (2).
3. The review referred to in paragraph 2 shall include a risk assessment for each of the products covered by the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Registration Scheme to ascertain whether moving towards post-market surveillance in accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 4 (Conformity Assessment Procedures) or accepting a positive assurance of conformity in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 4 (Conformity Assessment Procedures) would create unreasonable risks for human health and safety. The risk assessment shall be conducted on the basis of available scientific and technical information, such as consumer reports on safety accidents and the non-conformity rate of product inspection. The risk assessment shall also consider whether the products had been used for their intended end-uses and whether those products had been used with reasonable and usual care.
4. Depending on the outcome of the review referred to in paragraph 3, Singapore may maintain its requirements for the positive assurance of conformity by means of third-party certification for those products that are covered by the Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Registration Scheme, and are listed in Appendix 4-A-2, where the results of the risk assessment referred to in paragraph 3 demonstrate that adopting the procedures in paragraph 2 of Article 4 (Conformity Assessment Procedures) for such products would create unreasonable risks for human health and safety, or where it would not be possible to set up the post-market surveillance system to address such risks effectively.
5. Singapore shall table the risk assessment referred to in paragraph 3 for discussion at the first meeting of the Committee on Trade in Goods. Following the review carried out by Singapore, the Parties, by decision in the Committee on Trade and Goods may modify Appendix 4-A-2 as appropriate.
6. Insofar as Singapore continues to require positive assurances of conformity with its mandatory safety and/or EMC requirements in the form of third-party certification for covered products, Singapore shall accept certificates of conformity with its technical regulations that have been issued by a conformity assessment body in the Union that was designated by Singapore (3). Singapore shall also ensure that, for the purposes of issuing such certification, the conformity assessment bodies designated by Singapore accept test reports issued:
|
(a) |
in accordance with the rules and procedures of the IECEE CB Scheme, and in accordance with the commitments of the Parties thereunder, by one of the Recognised CB Testing Laboratories or Recognised CB Manufacturer's Testing Laboratories of the Union; |
|
(b) |
in accordance with relevant international standards, guides and recommendations (including ISO/IEC 17025), by any testing laboratory of the Union that has been accredited by an accreditation body which is a signatory to the Mutual Recognition Arrangement of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation or one of its regional bodies' mutual recognition agreements to which Singapore is a Party; or |
|
(c) |
by any testing laboratory in the Union that has concluded voluntary arrangements for mutual acceptance of test reports with one or more conformity assessment bodies designated by Singapore. |
7. Five years after the entry into force of this Agreement, and thereafter at regular intervals that shall not exceed five years, Singapore shall review Appendix 4-A-2 again, with the aim of reducing the number of product categories listed therein. Such reviews shall include the risk assessments laid out in paragraph 3. Singapore shall submit such risk assessments for discussion at the Committee on Trade in Goods.
8. Following the review carried out by Singapore, the Parties, by decision in the Committee on Trade and Goods, may modify Appendix 4-A-2 as appropriate.
ARTICLE 7
Joint Cooperation
1. The Parties shall closely cooperate to promote common understanding on regulatory issues and shall consider any request of the other Party regarding the implementation of this Annex.
2. This cooperation shall take place within the framework of the Committee on Trade in Goods.
(1) The Parties may, by decision of the Committee on Trade in Goods, agree on any new international standard-setting bodies which they deem relevant for the purposes of implementing this Annex.

(SCHEDULE OF SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS)
(CROSS-BORDER SUPPLY OF SERVICES)
|
1. |
The list of commitments below indicates the service sectors liberalised pursuant to Article 8.7 (Schedule of Specific Commitments) and, by means of reservations, the market access and national treatment limitations that apply to services and service suppliers of Singapore in those sectors. The list below is composed of the following elements:
The cross-border supply of services in sectors or subsectors that are covered by this Agreement and are not mentioned in the list of commitments below is not committed. |
|
2. |
The list of commitments below does not include measures relating to qualification requirements and procedures, technical standards and licensing requirements and procedures where such measures do not constitute a limitation on market access or national treatment within the meaning of Articles 8.5 (Market Access) and Article 8.6 (National Treatment). Those measures (e.g. requirements to obtain a license, universal service obligations, requirements to obtain recognition of qualifications in regulated sectors and requirements to pass specific examinations, including language examinations), even if not listed, apply in any case to services and service suppliers of Singapore. |
|
3. |
The list of commitments below is without prejudice to the feasibility of the cross-border supply of service, provided in paragraph (a) of Article 8.4 (Definitions), in certain service sectors and subsectors, and is without prejudice to the existence of public monopolies and exclusive rights, as described in the list of commitments on establishment. |
|
4. |
In accordance with paragraph 2(a) of Article 8.1 (Objective and Scope), the list of commitments below does not include measures concerning subsidies granted by a Party. |
|
5. |
The rights and obligations arising from the list of commitments below shall have no self-executing effect, and thus confer no rights directly to natural or juridical persons. |
|
6. |
The term ‘investor’, as used in this schedule of commitments, shall be understood as the term of ‘entrepreneur’ defined in paragraph (c) of Article 8.8 (Definitions).
|
(1) The Bulgarian property law recognizes the following limited property rights: right to use, right to build, right to raise a superstructure and servitudes.
(2) As regards services sectors, these limitations do not go beyond the limitations reflected in the existing GATS commitments.
(3) As regards services sectors, these limitations do not go beyond the limitations reflected in the existing GATS commitments.
(4) According to the Law on Commercial Companies, a branch established in Slovenia is not considered a juridical person, but as regards its operation, its treatment is equal to that of a subsidiary, which is in line with Article XXVIII paragraph (g) of the GATS.
(5) Due to the gradual liberalisation process of Singapore's legal services market, Singapore cannot yet commit to further market access in this sector. The Parties will, with a view to granting further market access, review their commitments in legal services no later than two years after entry into force of this Agreement. The Parties may, by decision in the Committee on Trade in Services, Investment and Government Procurement established pursuant to Article 16.2 (Specialised Committees) amend either Party's schedules in this respect
(6) This includes legal advisory services, legal representational services, legal arbitration and conciliation/mediation services, and legal documentation and certification services. The provision of legal services is only authorised in respect of public international law, Union law and the law of any jurisdiction where the service supplier or its personnel is qualified to practice as a lawyer, and, like the provision of other services, is subject to licensing requirements and procedures applicable in the Member States of the Union. For lawyers providing legal services in respect of public international law and foreign law, these licensing requirements and procedures may take, inter alia, the form of compliance with local codes of ethics, use of home title (unless recognition with the host title has been obtained), insurance requirements, simple registration with the host country Bar or a simplified admission to the host country Bar through an aptitude test and a legal or professional domicile in the host country. Legal services in respect of Union law shall be carried out in principle by or through a fully qualified lawyer admitted to the Bar in a Member State of the Union acting personally, and legal services in respect of the law of a Member State of the Union shall in principle be carried out by or through a fully qualified lawyer admitted to the Bar in that Member State acting personally. Full admission to the Bar in the relevant Member State of the Union might therefore be necessary for representation before courts and other competent authorities in the Union since it involves practice of Union and national procedural law. However, in some Member States, foreign lawyers not fully admitted to the Bar are allowed to represent a party in civil proceedings where that party is a national of or belonging to the State in which the lawyer is entitled to practice.
(7) Does not include legal advisory and legal representational services on tax matters, which are to be found under 1.A.(a) Legal Services.

As a general rule, this activity is reserved to pharmacists. In some Member States of the Union, only the supply of prescription drugs is reserved to pharmacists.
(9) Part of CPC 85201, which is to be found under 1.A.(h) Medical and Dental services.
(10) The service involved relates to the profession of real estate agent and does not affect any rights and/or restrictions on natural and juridical persons purchasing real estate.
(11) Maintenance and repair services of transport equipment (CPC 6112, 6122, 8867 and CPC 8868) are to be found under 1.F.(l)1. to 1.F.(l)4. Maintenance and repair services of office machinery and equipment including computers (CPC 845) are to be found under 1.B. Computer and Related Services.

The Parties may, by decisions in the Committee on Services, Investment and Government Procurement established pursuant to Article 16.2 (Specialised Committees) amend either Party's schedules in this respect.
(28) Includes legal advisory services, legal representational services, legal arbitration and conciliation/mediation services, and legal documentation and certification services. Provision of legal services is only authorised in respect of public international law, Union law and the law of any jurisdiction where the service supplier or its personnel is qualified to practice as a lawyer, and, like the provision of other services, is subject to licensing requirements and procedures applicable in the Member States of the Union.

Full admission to the Bar in the relevant Member State of the Union might therefore be necessary for representation before courts and other competent authorities in the Union since it involves practice of Union and national procedural law. However, in some Member States, foreign lawyers not fully admitted to the Bar are allowed to represent in civil proceedings a party being a national of or belonging to the State in which the lawyer is entitled to practice.

(32) Part of CPC 85201, which is to be found under 6.A.(h). Medical and Dental services.
(33) The service involved relates to the profession of real estate agent and does not affect any rights and/or restrictions on natural and juridical persons purchasing real estate.

(50) For clarification purposes, some Member States of the Union maintain public participation in certain telecommunication operators. Those Member States reserve their rights to maintain such public participation in the future. This is not a market access limitation. In Belgium, government participation and voting rights in Belgacom are freely determined under legislative powers as is presently the case under the law of 21 March 1991 on the reform of government-owned economic enterprises.
(51) The horizontal limitation on public utilities applies to the distribution of chemical products, of pharmaceuticals, of products for medical use such as medical and surgical devices, medical substances and objects for medical use, of military equipment and precious metals (and stones) and, in some Member States of the Union, also to the distribution of tobacco and tobacco products and of alcoholic beverages.

Appendix 8-B-1
SINGAPORE
SCHEDULE OF SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS
EXPLANATORY NOTES
|
1. |
The classification of service sectors in this schedule is based on the 1991 provisional Central Product Classification (CPC) of the United Nations Statistical Office unless otherwise indicated by the absence of a CPC number. The ordering reflects the services sectoral classification list as used in the GATT document MTN.GNS/W/120 dated 10 July 1991. The scheduling of specific commitments follows the guidelines stated in GATT documents MTN.GNS/W/164 dated 3 September 1993 and MTN.GNS/W/164/Add.1 dated 30 November 1993. |
|
2. |
The use of ‘**’ against individual CPC codes indicates that the specific commitment for that code shall not extend to the total range of services covered under that code. |
|
3. |
The classification of establishment sectors in this schedule is based on the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) Revision 3 of the United Nations Statistical Office. As necessary and appropriate, Singapore could specify the exact coverage of the commitment if the commitment does not exactly conform to the classification system. |
|
4. |
The list of commitments below (hereinafter referred to as ‘this Schedule’) indicates the service sectors liberalised pursuant to Article 8.7 (Schedule of Specific Commitments) and Article 8.12 (Schedule of Specific Commitments), and, by means of reservations, the market access and national treatment limitations that apply to services and service suppliers of the Union in those sectors. This Schedule is composed of the following elements:
|
|
5. |
Notwithstanding Article 8.10 (Market Access), non-discriminatory requirements as regards the types of legal form of an establishment do not need to be specified in this Schedule in order to be maintained or adopted by Singapore. |
|
6. |
This Schedule does not include measures relating to qualification requirements and procedures, technical standards and licensing requirements when they do not constitute a market access or a national treatment limitation within the meaning of Article 8.5 (Market Access) and Article 8.10 (Market Access) and Article 8.6 (National Treatment) and Article 8.11 (National Treatment). Those measures (e.g. need to obtain a license, universal service obligations, need to obtain recognition of qualifications in regulated sectors, and need to pass specific examinations, including language examinations and need to have a legal domicile in the territory where the economic activity is performed), even if not listed, apply in any case to services and service suppliers of the Union. |
|
7. |
In accordance with paragraph 2(a) of Article 8.1 (Objective and Scope), this Schedule shall not apply to subsidies or grants provided by a Party, including government-supported loans, guarantees, and insurance.

(2) Following the conclusion of the review of the Business Registration Act, any amendment to the Act by Singapore to delete any restriction for businesses conducted wholly online as appropriate, will be incorporated into this schedule.
(3) Due to the gradual liberalisation process of Singapore's legal services market, Singapore cannot yet commit to further market access in this sector. The Parties will, with a view to granting further market access, review their commitments in legal services no later than two years after entry into force of the EUSFTA. The Trade Committee may amend either Party’s schedules in this respect.
(4) A ‘letter’ means any communication in written form on any kind of physical medium to be conveyed and delivered (otherwise than electronically) to a particular addressee or address indicated by the sender on the letter itself or on its wrapping, and includes a postal article containing such communication, but does not include any book, catalogue, newspaper or periodical.

(6) A ‘local express letter’ means a letter originating from a sender in Singapore and intended for delivery within Singapore within the same working day.
(7) An ‘international express letter’ means a letter – (i) originating from a sender in Singapore and intended for delivery to a destination outside Singapore at a rate faster than the published delivery standard for air mail letters despatched by the public postal licensee; or (ii) originating from a sender outside Singapore and intended for delivery within the same working day in Singapore.

(11) Mobile Services may be provided using satellite technology.
(12) Local tertiary institutions are tertiary institutions which are established pursuant to an Act of Parliament, or as designated by the Ministry of Education.
(13) For example, partnerships and sole proprietorships are generally not acceptable juridical forms for depository financial institutions in Singapore. This headnote is not itself intended to affect, or otherwise limit, a choice by a financial service supplier of the other Party between branches or subsidiaries.
(14) Licensing is expressed as, and equivalent to, registration for insurance companies, and insurance brokers carrying on insurance business in Singapore as provided for in Singapore domestic law on insurance.
(15) For example, partnerships and sole proprietorships are generally not acceptable juridical forms for depository financial institutions in Singapore.

However, this subsector does not include any service comprised in ‘maritime cargo handling services’, ‘container station and depot services’, ‘freight forwarding services’ and ‘customs clearance services’.
(24) ‘Container station and depot services’ means activities consisting of storing containers with a view to their stuffing/stripping, repairing and making them available for shipments.
(25) ‘Maritime freight forwarding services’ means the activity consisting of organising and monitoring shipment operations on behalf of shippers, through the acquisition of transport and related services, preparation of documentation and provision of business information, including customs clearance. The latter means the activities consisting in carrying out on behalf of another customs formalities concerning import, export or through transport of cargoes, whether this service in the main activity of the service provider or a usual complement of its main activity but excludes the exercise of statutory powers by Customs officers.

Appendix 8-B-2
SINGAPORE
SCHEDULE OF SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS – APPENDIX ON FINANCIAL SERVICES
A. SPECIFIC COMMITMENTS
All the commitments in this Schedule are subject to horizontal commitments in Singapore's Schedule of Specific Commitments. All the commitments in this Schedule are also subject to entry requirements, admission criteria, domestic laws, guidelines, rules and regulations, terms and conditions of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) or any other relevant authority or body in Singapore, as the case may be provided that they do not circumvent Singapore's obligations taken herewith. Juridical persons supplying financial services are subject to non-discriminatory limitations on juridical form (1).
Related to Insurance
|
1. |
Singapore shall not require product filing or approval for insurance products other than for life insurance products (2), Central Provident Fund-related products and investment-linked products. Where product filing or approval is required, Singapore shall allow the introduction of the product, which Singapore shall deem to be approved unless the product is disapproved within a reasonable time, endeavouring to do so in 30 days. Singapore shall not maintain limitations on the number or frequency of product introduction. This specific commitment does not apply where a financial institution of the Union seeks to supply a new financial service pursuant to Article 8.53 (New Financial Services). |
Related to Portfolio Management
|
2. |
|
Related to Credit and Charge Cards
|
3. |
Singapore shall consider applications for access to automated teller machine networks operated by local banks in Singapore for credit and charge cards of non-bank issuers that are controlled by persons of the Union. Where such applications are approved, non-bank issuers will thereafter be permitted to negotiate for access to the automated teller machine networks operated by local banks on commercial terms. |
B. OTHERS
|
1. |
|
(1) For example, partnerships and sole proprietorships are generally not acceptable juridical forms for depository financial institutions in Singapore. This headnote is not itself intended to affect, or otherwise limit, a choice by a financial service supplier of the other Party between branches or subsidiaries.
(2) Life insurance products here would include non-short term accident and health policies and term policies exceeding five years.
(3) It is understood that compensatory adjustments shall not be regarded as inadequate solely because the general level of commitments after the introduction of the new measure is not significantly more favourable to trade in the banking subsector than prior to the introduction of the measure.

(2) According to the Union's utilities directive, a public undertaking is any undertaking over which the contracting authorities may exercise directly or indirectly a dominant influence by virtue of their ownership of it, their financial participation therein, or the rules which govern it. A dominant influence on the part of the contracting authorities shall be presumed when in any of the following cases in which those authorities, directly or indirectly:
|
— |
hold the majority of the undertaking's subscribed capital; |
|
— |
control the majority of the votes attaching to shares issued by the undertaking, |
|
— |
can appoint more than half of the undertaking's administrative, management or supervisory body. |
(3) As regards transport services, a network shall be considered to exist where the service is provided under operating conditions laid down by a competent authority of a Member State of the Union, such as conditions on the routes to be served, the capacity to be made available or the frequency of the service.
(4) E.g. the provision or operation of networks (within the meaning of footnote 4) providing a service to the public in the field of transport by high-speed or conventional trains.
(5) ‘Affiliated undertaking’ means any undertaking the annual accounts of which are consolidated with those of the procuring entity in accordance with the requirements of Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on the annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of undertakings, amending Directive 2006/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Council Directives 78/660/EEC and 83/349/EEC (OJ EU L 182, 29.6.2013, p. 19), or in case of entities not subject to that Directive, any undertaking over which the procuring entity may exercise, directly or indirectly, a dominant influence, or which may exercise a dominant influence over the procuring entity, or which, in common with the procuring entity, is subject to the dominant influence of another undertaking by virtue of ownership, financial participation, or the rules which govern it.
(6) When, because of the date on which an affiliated undertaking was created or commenced activities, the turnover is not available for the preceding three years, it will be sufficient for that undertaking to show that the turnover referred to in this paragraph is credible, in particular by means of business projections.

ARTICLE 5
Sufficiently Worked or Processed Products
1. For the purposes of subparagraph (b) of Article 2 (General Requirements), products which are not wholly obtained are considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when the conditions set out in the list in Annex B or B(a) to this Protocol are fulfilled.
2. The conditions referred to above indicate, for all products covered by this Agreement, the working or processing which must be carried out on non-originating materials used in manufacturing, and apply only in relation to such materials. It follows that if a product which has acquired originating status by fulfilling the conditions set out in the list in Annex B or B(a) to this Protocol is used in the manufacture of another product, the conditions applicable to the product in which it is incorporated do not apply to the product that acquired originating status, and no account shall be taken of the non-originating materials which may have been used in its manufacture.
3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1 and subject to paragraphs 4 and 5, non-originating materials which, according to the conditions set out in the list in Annex B or B(a) to this Protocol, are not to be used in the manufacture of a given product may nevertheless be used, provided that their total value or net weight assessed for the product does not exceed:
|
(a) |
ten percent of the weight of the product for products falling within Chapters 2 and 4 to 24 of the Harmonized System, other than processed fishery products of Chapter 16; |
|
(b) |
ten percent of the ex-works price of the product for other products, except for products falling within Chapters 50 to 63 of the Harmonized System, for which the tolerances mentioned in Notes 6 and 7 of Annex A to this Protocol, shall apply. |
4. Paragraph 3 shall not be construed to allow any of the percentages for the maximum content of non-originating materials as specified in the list in Annex B to this Protocol to be exceeded.
5. Paragraphs 3 and 4 do not apply to products wholly obtained in a Party within the meaning of Article 4 (Wholly Obtained Products). However, without prejudice to Article 6 (Insufficient Working or Processing) and paragraph 2 of Article 7 (Unit of Qualification) the tolerance provided for in those paragraphs shall nevertheless apply to the sum of all the materials which are used in the manufacture of a product and for which the rule for that product laid down in the list in Annex B to this Protocol requires that such materials be wholly obtained.

2. The competent governmental authorities may make the granting of the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 subject to any conditions they deem appropriate.
3. The authorisation shall be granted only if it can be ensured by use of the accounting segregation method that, at any given time, the number of products obtained which could be considered as originating in the Union or in Singapore is the same as the number that would have been obtained by using a method of physical segregation of the stocks.
4. If authorised, the accounting segregation method, for example, averaging, last-in, first-out, or first-in, first-out, shall be applied and the method used shall be recorded on the basis of the general accounting principles applicable in the Union or in Singapore, depending on where the product is manufactured.
5. A manufacturer using the accounting segregation method shall make out or apply for origin declarations for the quantity of products which may be considered as originating in the exporting Party. At the request of the customs authorities or competent governmental authorities of the exporting Party, the beneficiary shall provide a statement of how the quantities have been managed.

2. If originating goods exported from a Party to a non-Party return, they must be considered as non-originating goods, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
|
(a) |
the returning goods are the same as those exported; and |
|
(b) |
they have not undergone any operation beyond that necessary to preserve them in good condition while in that non-Party or while being exported. |
ARTICLE 13
Non Alteration
1. The products declared for importation in a Party shall be the same products as exported from the other Party in which they are considered to originate. They shall not have been altered, transformed in any way or subjected to operations other than operations to preserve them in good condition or other than adding or affixing marks, labels, seals or any other documentation to ensure compliance with specific domestic requirements of the importing Party, prior to being declared for import.
2. The storage of products or consignments may take place, provided they remain under customs supervision in the country(ies) of transit.
3. Without prejudice to Section 5, the splitting of consignments may take place where carried out by the exporter or under his responsibility provided they remain under customs supervision in the country(ies) of transit.
4. Compliance with paragraphs 1 to 3 shall be considered as satisfied unless the customs authorities have reason to believe the contrary; in such cases, the customs authorities may request the declarant to provide evidence of compliance, which may be given by any means, including contractual transport documents such as bills of lading or factual or concrete evidence based on marking or numbering of packages or any evidence related to the goods themselves.
ARTICLE 14
Exhibitions
1. Originating products, sent for exhibition in a country other than a Party and sold after the exhibition for importation in a Party shall benefit on importation from the provisions of this Agreement provided it is shown to the satisfaction of the customs authorities that:
|
(a) |
an exporter has consigned these products from a Party to the country in which the exhibition is held and has exhibited them there; |
|
(b) |
the products have been sold or otherwise disposed of by that exporter to a person in a Party; |
|
(c) |
the products have been consigned during the exhibition or immediately thereafter in the state in which they were sent for exhibition; and |
|
(d) |
the products have not been used for any purpose other than demonstration at the exhibition since they were consigned for exhibition. |
2. An origin declaration shall be issued or made out in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and submitted to the customs authorities of the importing Party in the normal manner. The name and address of the exhibition must be indicated thereon. Where necessary, additional documentary evidence of the conditions under which they have been exhibited may be required.
3. Paragraph 1 shall apply to any trade, industrial, agricultural or crafts exhibition, fair or similar public show or display which is not organised for private purposes in shops or business premises with a view to the sale of foreign products, during which the products remain under customs control.

2. The prohibition in paragraph 1 shall apply to any arrangement for refund, remission or non-payment, whether partial or complete, of customs duties or charges having an equivalent effect, applicable in the Union or in Singapore to materials used in the manufacture, where such refund, remission or non-payment applies, whether expressly or in effect, where the products obtained from such materials are exported, but not where they are retained in a Party for home use.
3. The exporter of products covered by an origin declaration shall be prepared to submit at any time, upon request from the customs authorities, all appropriate documents to prove that no drawback has been obtained in respect of the non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the products concerned and that all customs duties or charges having equivalent effect applicable to such materials have actually been paid.

ARTICLE 25
Discrepancies and Formal Errors
1.

2. Obvious formal errors such as typing errors on a origin declaration should not cause the document to be rejected if those errors are not such as to create doubts concerning the correctness of the statements made in the document.
ARTICLE 26
Amounts Expressed in Euro
1. For the application of the provisions of subparagraph 1(a)(ii) of Article 17 (Conditions for Making Out an Origin Declaration) and paragraph 3 of Article 22 (Exemptions from Origin Declaration) in cases where products are invoiced in a currency other than euro, amounts in the national currencies of the Member States of the Union equivalent to the amounts expressed in euro shall be fixed annually by each of the countries concerned.

A Member State of the Union may retain unchanged its national currency equivalent of an amount expressed in euro if, at the time of the annual adjustment provided for in paragraph 3, the conversion of that amount, prior to any rounding-off, results in an increase of less than fifteen percent in the national currency equivalent. The national currency equivalent may be retained unchanged if the conversion would result in a decrease in that equivalent value.
5. The amounts expressed in euro shall be reviewed by the Parties in the Committee on Customs established pursuant to Article 16.2 (Specialised Committees) at the request of the Union or of Singapore. When carrying out this review, the Parties shall consider the desirability of preserving the effects of the limits concerned in real terms. For these purposes, the Parties may, by decision in the Committee on Customs, modify the amounts expressed in euro.

ANNEX A
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO THE LIST IN ANNEX B
Note 1 – General introduction
The list sets out the conditions required for all products to be considered as sufficiently worked or processed within the meaning of Article 5 (Sufficiently Worked or Processed Products) of the Protocol. There are four different types of rule, which vary according to the product:
|
(a) |
through working or processing, a maximum content of non-originating materials is not exceeded; |
|
(b) |
through working or processing, the applicable 4-digit Harmonized System heading or 6-digit Harmonized System sub-heading for the manufactured products becomes different from the respective 4-digit Harmonized System heading or 6-digit sub-heading for the materials used; |
|
(c) |
a specific working and processing operation is carried out; and |
|
(d) |
working or processing is carried out on certain wholly-obtained materials. |
Note 2 – The structure of the list
|
2.1. |
The first two columns in the list describe the product obtained. The first column gives the heading number or chapter number used in the Harmonized System and the second column gives the description of goods used in that system for that heading or chapter. For each entry in the first two columns, a rule is specified in column 3. Where, in some cases, the entry in the first column is preceded by an ‘ex’, this signifies that the rules in column 3 apply only to the part of that heading as described in column 2. |
|
2.2. |
Where several heading numbers are grouped together in column 1, or a chapter number is given and the description of products in column 2 is therefore given in general terms, the adjacent rules in column 3 apply to all products which, under the Harmonized System, are classified in headings of the chapter or in any of the headings grouped together in column 1. |
|
2.3. |
Where there are different rules in the list applying to different products within a heading, each indent contains the description of that part of the heading covered by the adjacent rules in column 3. |
|
2.4. |
Where two alternative rules are set out in column 3, separated by ‘or’, it is at the choice of the exporter which one to use. |
Note 3 – Examples of how to apply the rules
|
3.1. |
Article 5 (Sufficiently Worked or Processed Products) of the Protocol, concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the manufacture of other products, shall apply, regardless of whether this status has been acquired inside the factory where these products are used or in another factory in a Party. |
|
3.2. |
Pursuant to Article 6 (Insufficient Working or Processing) of the Protocol, the working or processing carried out must go beyond the list of operations mentioned in that Article. If it does not, the goods shall not qualify for the granting of the benefit of preferential tariff treatment, even if the conditions set out in the list below are met. Subject to the provision referred to in the first sub-paragraph, the rules in the list represent the minimum amount of working or processing required, and the carrying-out of more working or processing also confers originating status; conversely, the carrying-out of less working or processing cannot confer originating status. Thus, if a rule provides that non-originating material may be used at a certain stage of manufacture, the use of such material at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of such material at a later stage is not. If a rule provides that non-originating material, at a certain level of manufacture, may not be used, the use of materials at an earlier stage of manufacture is allowed, and the use of materials at a later stage is not. Example: when the list-rule for Chapter 19 requires that ‘non-originating materials of headings 1101 to 1108 cannot exceed 20 per cent weight’, the use (i.e. importation) of cereals of Chapter 10 (materials at an earlier stage of manufacture) is not limited. |
|
3.3. |
Without prejudice to Note 3.2, where a rule uses the expression ‘Manufacture from materials of any heading’, then materials of any heading(s) (even materials of the same description and heading as the product) may be used, subject, however, to any specific limitations which may also be contained in the rule. The expression ‘Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of heading […]’ or ‘Manufacture from materials of any heading, including other materials of the same heading as the product’ means that materials of any heading(s) may be used, except those of the same description as the product as given in column 2 of the list. |
|
3.4. |
When a rule in the list specifies that a product may be manufactured from more than one material, this means that one or more materials may be used. It does not require that all be used. |
|
3.5. |
Where a rule in the list specifies that a product must be manufactured from a particular material, the rule does not prevent the use of other materials which, because of their inherent nature, cannot satisfy this condition. |
|
3.6. |
Where a rule in the list gives two percentages for the maximum value of non-originating materials that can be used, those percentages may not be added together. In other words, the maximum value of all the non-originating materials used may never exceed the higher of the percentages given. Furthermore, the individual percentages must not be exceeded in relation to the particular materials to which they apply. |
Note 4 – General provisions concerning certain agricultural goods
|
4.1. |
Agricultural goods which fall within Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and heading 2401, and which are grown or harvested in the territory of a beneficiary country, shall be treated as originating in the territory of that country, even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants imported from another country. |
|
4.2. |
In cases where the content of non originating sugar in a given product is subject to limitations, the weight of sugars of headings 1701 (sucrose) and 1702 (e.g., fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, isoglucose or invert sugar) used in the manufacture of the final product and used in the manufacture of the non-originating products incorporated in the final product is taken into account for the calculation of such limitations. |
Note 5 - Terminology used in respect of certain textile products
|
5.1. |
The term ‘natural fibres’ is used in the list to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres. It is restricted to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres which have been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun. |
|
5.2. |
The term ‘natural fibres’ includes horsehair of heading 0511, silk of headings 5002 and 5003, as well as wool-fibres and fine or coarse animal hair of headings 5101 to 5105, cotton fibres of headings 5201 to 5203, and other vegetable fibres of headings 5301 to 5305. |
|
5.3. |
The terms ‘textile pulp’, ‘chemical materials’ and ‘paper-making materials’ are used in the list to describe the materials which are not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, but which can be used to manufacture artificial, synthetic or paper fibres or yarns. |
|
5.4. |
The term ‘man-made staple fibres’ is used in the list to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 5501 to 5507. |
Note 6 - Tolerances applicable to products made of a mixture of textile materials
|
6.1. |
Where, for a given product in the list, reference is made to this Note, the conditions set out in column 3 shall not be applied to any basic textile materials used in the manufacture of this product and which, taken together, represent 10 % or less of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. (See also Notes 6.3 and 6.4). |
|
6.2. |
The tolerance mentioned in Note 6.1 may be applied only to mixed products which have been made from two or more basic textile materials. The following are the basic textile materials:
Example: A yarn, of heading 5205, made from cotton fibres of heading 5203 and synthetic staple fibres of heading 5506, is a mixed yarn. Therefore, non-originating synthetic staple fibres which do not satisfy the origin rules may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the yarn. Example: A woollen fabric of heading 5112 that is made from woollen yarn of heading 5107 and synthetic yarn of staple fibres of heading 5509 is a mixed fabric. Therefore, synthetic yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules, or woollen yarn which does not satisfy the origin rules, or a combination of the two, may be used, provided that their total weight does not exceed 10 % of the weight of the fabric. Example: Tufted textile fabric of heading 5802 that is made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and cotton fabric of heading 5210 is only a mixed product if the cotton fabric is itself a mixed fabric made from yarns classified in two separate headings, or if the cotton yarns used are themselves mixtures. Example: If the tufted textile fabric concerned had been made from cotton yarn of heading 5205 and synthetic fabric of heading 5407, then, obviously, the yarns used are two separate basic textile materials and the tufted textile fabric is, accordingly, a mixed product. |
|
6.3. |
In the case of products incorporating ‘yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether, whether or not gimped’, this tolerance is 20 % in respect of this yarn. |
|
6.4. |
In the case of products incorporating a ‘strip consisting of a core of aluminium foil or of a core of plastic film, whether or not coated with aluminium powder, of a width not exceeding 5 mm, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film’, the tolerance is 30 % in respect of this strip. |
Note 7 - Other tolerances applicable to certain textile products
|
7.1. |
Where, in the list, reference is made to this Note, textile materials (with the exception of linings and interlinings) which do not satisfy the rule set out in the list in column 3 for the made-up product concerned may be used, provided that they are classified under a heading other than that of the product, and provided that that their value does not exceed 8 % of the ex-works price of the product. |
|
7.2. |
Without prejudice to Note 6.3, materials, which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63, may be used freely in the manufacture of textile products, whether or not they contain textiles. Example: If a rule in the list provides that, for a particular textile item (such as trousers), yarn must be used, this does not prevent the use of metal items such as buttons, because buttons are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners, even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. |
|
7.3. |
Where a percentage rule applies, the value of non-originating materials which are not classified within Chapters 50 to 63 must be taken into account when calculating the value of the non-originating materials incorporated. |
Note 8 - Definition of specific processes and simple operations carried out in respect of certain products of Chapter 27
|
8.1. |
For the purposes of headings ex 2707 and 2713, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:
|
|
8.2. |
For the purposes of headings 2710, 2711 and 2712, the ‘specific processes’ are the following:
|
|
8.3. |
For the purposes of headings ex 2707 and 2713, simple operations, such as cleaning, decanting, desalting, water separation, filtering, colouring, marking, obtaining a sulphur content as a result of mixing products with different sulphur contents, or any combination of these operations or like operations, do not confer origin. |

JOINT DECLARATION
Concerning Customs Unions
|
1. |
The Union recalls that those countries which have concluded a customs union with the Union have the obligation to align themselves with the common customs tariff and, progressively, with the preferential customs regime of the Union, taking the necessary measures and negotiating agreements on a mutually advantageous basis with the third countries concerned.
Consequently the Union had invited Singapore to enter into negotiations with those states which have established a customs union with the Union and whose products do not benefit from the tariff concessions under this Agreement, to conclude bilateral agreements establishing a free trade area in accordance with Article XXIV of GATT. |
|
2. |
Singapore has informed the Union that Singapore will enter into negotiations with countries relevant in this respect as at the date of signature of this Agreement to conclude bilateral agreements establishing a free trade area in accordance with Article XXIV of GATT. |
