EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 3.9.2025 COM(2025) 811 final 2025/0270 (NLE) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States EN EN EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL • Reasons for and objectives of the proposal The attached proposal constitutes the legal instrument for authorising the signature of the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ITA’). Relations between the European Union (‘EU’) and the United Mexican States ('Mexico') are currently based on the Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the United Mexican States, of the other part (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Global Agreement’), which entered into force on 1 October 20001. The trade pillar of the Global Agreement was expanded by two decisions of the Joint Council: Decision No 2/2000 of the EC-Mexico Joint Council of 23 March 2000 related to trade in goods2 and Decision No 2/2001 of the EU- Mexico Joint Council of 27 February 2001 on trade in services3. Since the entry into force of the Global Agreement, the EU and Mexico have deepened their relations. In 2008, the EU and Mexico established a Strategic Partnership which introduced a bilateral dialogue and cooperation in new key policy areas, including multilateral issues, security and justice, macroeconomic aspects, and human rights. In the Santiago Declaration of 27 January 2013, the Parties expressed their joint commitment to modernise and replace the existing Global Agreement to reflect new political and economic realities and the advancements made in their Strategic Partnership. At the seventh EU-Mexico Summit in Brussels in June 2015, both sides reaffirmed their willingness to launch the process of starting negotiations, in accordance with the legal framework of each side, to modernise the Global Agreement and to reinforce the Strategic Partnership. On 4 May 2016, the Council of the European Union authorised the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to negotiate a modernised agreement with Mexico to replace the Global Agreement. The negotiations were formally launched in May 2016. The negotiations were conducted in consultation with the Trade Policy Committee. The European Parliament has been kept fully informed about the outcome of the negotiations. An agreement was reached on 17 January 2025. Trade negotiations were conducted to unfold the full potential of the bilateral relationship and help meet current global challenges. The modernisation of the existing EU-Mexico Global Agreement revolves around two legal instruments: 1. The Political, Economic and Cooperation Strategic Partnership Agreement (also known as the ‘Modernised Global Agreement’ and hereinafter referred to as the ‘MGA’), which will include a) the political and cooperation pillar and b) the trade and investment pillar (inclusive of investment protection provisions); and 1 OJ L276, 28.10.2000, p. 44-80. 2 OJ L 157, 30.6.2000, p. 10–29. 3 OJ L 70, 12.3.2001, p. 7–50. EN 1 EN 2. the Interim Agreement on Trade (hereinafter referred to as ‘the ITA’ or ‘the Agreement’) covering trade and investment liberalisation. The ITA is intended to be signed at the same time as the MGA. The ITA will enter into force following the respective notifications of the Parties pursuant to Article 33.9 of the ITA. The ITA will expire and be replaced by the MGA upon the MGA’s full entry into force, following its full ratification. • Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area The ITA provides a modernised comprehensive legal framework for EU-Mexico trade and investment relations and replaces Titles III to V of the current Global Agreement, including a set of subsequent decision by its institutional bodies, which are listed in Annex 33 to the ITA. Over the years, the EU and Mexico have concluded, in addition to the Global Agreement, several bilateral sectoral agreements, including the Agreement between the European Community and the United Mexican States on the mutual recognition and protection of designations for spirit drinks signed in Brussels on 27 May 1997 (the ‘1997 Spirits Agreement’)4. The 1997 Spirits Agreement is incorporated into the ITA. The other sectoral agreements not falling within the scope of the ITA will remain in place as separate agreements. The ITA is fully in line with the overall EU vision for its partnership with Latin America and the Caribbean, as outlined in the Joint Communication to the European Parliament and the Council on a New Agenda for Relations between the EU and Latin America and the Caribbean, adopted on 7 June 2023. In addition, the ITA is fully in line with the ‘Trade Policy Review - An Open, Sustainable and Assertive Trade Policy’ of February 2021 which anchors trade and investment policy to European and universal standards and values, alongside core economic interests, putting a greater emphasis on sustainable development, human rights, tax evasion, consumer protection, and responsible and fair trade. • Consistency with other Union policies The ITA is fully consistent with European Union policies and will not require the EU to amend its rules, regulations or standards in any regulated area, e.g. technical rules and product standards, sanitary or phytosanitary rules, regulations on food and safety, health and safety standards, rules on GMOs, environmental protection or consumer protection. The ITA also includes a Chapter on Trade and Sustainable Development, which links the Agreement to the EU’s overall objectives of sustainable development and specific objectives in the areas of labour, environment, and climate change. Furthermore, the ITA fully safeguards public services and ensures that governments’ right to regulate in the public interest is fully preserved by the Agreement and constitutes a basic underlying principle thereof. 4 OJ L 152, 11.6.1997, p. 16–26. EN 2 EN 2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY • Legal basis In accordance with Opinion 2/15 on the EU-Singapore FTA of the Court of Justice of 16 May 2017, all the areas covered by the ITA fall within the exclusive competence of the EU and in particular, within the scope of Articles 91, 100(2) and 207 TFEU. As a result, the ITA is to be signed by the Union pursuant to a decision of the Council based on Article 218(5) TFEU. • Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence) The ITA as presented to the Council does not cover any matters that fall outside the EU’s exclusive competence. • Proportionality Trade agreements are the appropriate means to govern market access and the related areas of comprehensive economic relations with a third country outside the EU. No alternative means exist to render such commitments and liberalisation efforts legally binding. This initiative directly pursues the objectives of the Union's external action and contributes to the political priority of 'EU as a stronger global actor’. It is in line with the EU Global Strategy’s orientations to engage with other countries and to revamp the EU’s external partnerships in a responsible way, in order to attain the EU's external priorities. It contributes to the EU’s trade and development objectives. Negotiations for the ITA with Mexico were carried out in accordance with the negotiating directives set out by the Council. The outcome of the negotiations does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the policy objectives set out in the negotiating directives. • Choice of the instrument This proposal for a Council decision is submitted in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article 218 TFEU, which provides for the adoption by the Council of a decision authorising the signing of international agreements. There is no other legal instrument that could be used to achieve the objective expressed in this proposal. 3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS • Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation An assessment of six EU Free-Trade Agreements (including Mexico’s) commissioned by the Commission was carried out in February 2011. An ex-post evaluation of the trade pillar of the existing Global Agreement and an ex-ante assessment looking at options for modernisation were completed in 2016. The analysis of the Global Agreement demonstrated that, while the coverage of the existing trade pillar was comprehensive at the time, there was scope for further improvements to the rules and for achieving further market access. It also concluded that it was necessary to update the Global Agreement to take account of the developments in the global trade landscape. EN 3 EN • Stakeholder consultations The contractor for the external studies undertaken in support of the modernisation organised numerous consultation and outreach activities, including: (i) a dedicated website for documents and activities linked to the studies; (ii) an online survey of stakeholders, launched in October 2014; (iii) a local stakeholder workshop in Mexico, held in July 2015; and (iv) personal interviews. As part of the Impact Assessment, DG Trade consulted interested stakeholders about the modernisation, including businesses, civil society stakeholders, non-governmental organisations, trade unions, trade associations, chambers of commerce and other private interests. These stakeholder consultations involved a number of different consultation activities including an open public online consultation (launched in July 2015). The external studies, the Impact Assessment and the consultations held in the context of its preparation, provided the Commission with input that has been of great value in the ITA negotiations. During the negotiations, meetings were held to debrief civil society organisations on the status of the negotiations and to exchange views on the modernisation (meetings in April and November 2017 in Brussels and in July 2017 in Mexico City). Negotiations of the ITA were carried out in consultation with the Trade Policy Committee, as the special committee designated by the Council in accordance with Article 218(4) TFEU. The European Parliament and the European Economic and Social committee were also regularly informed through the Committee on International Trade (INTA), notably its Monitoring Group on Mexico. The texts progressively resulting from the negotiations were circulated throughout the process to both institutions. • Collection and use of expertise The ‘ex-post evaluation of the implementation of the EU-Mexico Free Trade Agreement’ was carried out by the external contractor ‘Ecorys’. A ‘Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA) in support of the negotiations for the modernisation of the trade pillar of the Global Agreement with Mexico’ was carried out by the external contractor ‘LSE Enterprise’. • Impact assessment The proposal was supported by an Impact Assessment published in January 2016 5 which received a positive opinion6. The Impact Assessment concluded that a comprehensive negotiation would deliver positive benefits for both the EU and Mexico. Such benefits included increases in GDP, welfare and exports, employment, wages (for both less skilled and more skilled employees), competitiveness and an improved position for both the EU and Mexico in respect of other global competitors. The inclusion of provisions on sustainable development would also have a positive impact on the promotion and respect of human rights, on the effective implementation of International Labour Organisation (ILO) core labour standards and on the progress towards ratification of the fundamental ILO Convention on the right to organise and collective bargaining not yet ratified by Mexico. 5 http://ec.europa.eu/smart-regulation/impact/ia_carried_out/docs/ia_2015/swd_2015_0290_en.pdf 6 http://ec.europa.eu/smart-regulation/impact/ia_carried_out/docs/ia_2015/sec_2015_0498_en.pdf EN 4 EN Furthermore, the SIA carried out during the negotiations provides a comprehensive assessment of the potential economic, social and environmental impacts of increased trade liberalisation under the ITA in the EU and Mexico. The SIA also analyses the potential impacts of the modernisation on human rights and on the manufacturing, agriculture and services sectors. The terms of reference, interim report and final report are available on the DG TRADE website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/policy-making/analysis/policy-evaluation/sustainability- impact-assessments/index_en.htm The EU and Mexico have reached an ambitious agreement in line with the most recent trade agreements such as those concluded by the EU with Canada, Japan, New Zealand and Chile. The Agreement will open new opportunities for trade and investment in both markets and support jobs in the EU. The ITA will inter alia remove most customs duties, extend access to public contracts, open up the services’ market, offer predictable conditions for investors and help prevent illegal copying of EU innovations and traditional products. The ITA also contains all the guarantees to ensure that the economic gains do not come at the expense of fundamental rights, social standards, governments' right to regulate, environmental protection or consumers' health and safety. • Regulatory fitness and simplification The ITA is not subject to REFIT procedures. It nevertheless contains a framework for simplified trade and investment procedures, and reduced export and investment related costs and will therefore increase trade and investment opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Among the expected benefits are increased transparency, less burdensome technical rules, compliance requirements, customs procedures and rules of origin, enhanced protection of intellectual property rights and geographical indications, better access to procurement tender procedures, as well as a special chapter to enable SMEs to maximise the benefits from the Agreement. • Fundamental rights The proposal does not affect the protection of fundamental rights in the Union. 4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS The ITA would have very limited effects on national budgets and the EU budget, notably through the loss of own resources in the form of foregone customs duties, as most of the customs duties are already eliminated under the current Global Agreement. The loss from tariff revenue could be around EUR 18.75 million based on current trade flows. Indirect positive impacts are expected in terms of increases in resources linked to value added tax and gross national income. 5. OTHER ELEMENTS • Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements The ITA includes institutional provisions that set up bodies tasked with monitoring its implementation, operation and impact. EN 5 EN The institutional provisions of the ITA establish the specific functions and tasks of the Trade Council and Trade Committee which will monitor the implementation and application of the ITA. The Trade Committee will assist the Trade Council in the performance of its function and supervise the work of all Sub-Committees and other bodies established under the ITA. The Trade Committee will be comprised of representatives of the EU and Mexico with responsibility for trade-related matters who will meet on dates to be mutually agreed. • Explanatory documents (for directives) Not applicable. • Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal The ITA broadens the scope of the current bilateral framework and adjusts it to the new global political and economic challenges, to the new reality of the EU-Mexico partnership and to the level of ambition of recently concluded trade agreements and negotiations conducted by the EU and Mexico. The ITA creates a coherent, comprehensive, up-to-date and legally binding framework for the EU's trade relations with Mexico. It will foster trade and investment by contributing to the expansion and diversification of economic and trade relations. For the first time, the ITA includes a civil society consultation mechanism extended to the whole Agreement to allow civil society on both sides to make its voice heard on all the provisions in the Agreement. The ITA includes a review clause to allow certain specific elements of the agreement to be discussed again three years after its entry into force. In line with the objectives set by the negotiating directives, the ITA will seek to fulfil the aims listed below: Provide important market access for agricultural and fisheries exports and improved rules Under the current Global Agreement, all industrial goods and a considerable amount of agricultural and fisheries products had already been liberalised. With the modernisation, the chapter on Trade in Goods fully liberalised more than 98.7% of all tariff lines and removes 95% of the remaining Mexican tariffs on agricultural products. The text on Trade in Goods contains additional and more extensive rules that will facilitate trade between the EU and Mexico. This includes provisions on fees and formalities, import and export licensing, prohibition of export duties, and binding of tariffs for which full duty elimination is not envisaged (standstill). It also contains new-generation provisions on export competition, remanufacturing, goods entered after repair and provisions to facilitate the temporary admission of goods. Simplify Rules of Origin The Rules of Origin (RoO) have been reviewed and, in some cases, simplified to take into consideration the need of industry, for example, for key industrial products such as cars and pharmaceuticals. Modernise and simplify border procedures EN 6 EN The ITA contains an ambitious Chapter on Customs and Trade Facilitation based on the provisions of the WTO Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) and goes even further in certain areas. The EU and Mexico undertake to apply simplified, modern and where possible automated procedures for the efficient and expedited release of goods through streamlined requirements on data and documentation, pre-arrival processing of customs documentation and information, and effective and non-discriminatory risk management. Ensure fair trade and business conditions In order to be able to deal efficiently and effectively with unfair trading practices, improved disciplines regarding trade remedies have been agreed. In addition, the ITA contains provisions to protect domestic industries in the event that increased imports of a product arising from the Agreement are causing, or risk causing, serious injury to that industry. The ITA also contains a subsidy chapter which helps to level the playing field between EU and Mexican companies through (i) increased transparency for subsidies to both goods and services, (ii) consultations in case subsidies risk having a negative effect on trade, and (iii) rules on the most harmful subsidies (restructuring aid without restructuring plan and unlimited guarantees). The ITA also ensures that companies respect the basic competition principles: no abuse of a dominant position, no agreements between companies that restrict competition, and scrutiny of the competitive effects of a merger. At the same time, the ITA will ensure a level playing field between public and private companies on the market. State-owned enterprises, enterprises granted special rights or privileges, and designated monopolies must act in a non- discriminatory manner and in line with commercial considerations when buying and selling goods and services on the market. Enhance trade and investment in Critical Raw Materials The ITA maintains tariff-free trade of critical raw materials, securing cheaper access and reduced costs for these materials essential for the EU’s green and digital transitions. Moreover, the new agreement will prohibit export monopolies and unjustified government intervention in the price setting of raw materials and will ban export or dual pricing where export prices are set above domestic prices. There are also specific provisions laid down for cooperation with Mexico in the raw materials value-chains. Ensure sustainability and gender equality The ITA contains an ambitious and comprehensive chapter on Trade and Sustainable Development, to better integrate sustainable development into the Parties’ trade and investment relationship through legally binding commitments on environmental protection, climate change and labour rights, provisions on cooperation and dialogue including with civil society, as well as dispute settlement procedures. This chapter also includes a review clause which requires the Parties to discuss possible further improvements of the sustainability provisions, including the provision of countermeasures in case of breaches and the possibility to consider the inclusion of the Paris Agreement as an essential element of the agreement. The review will be launched upon entry into force of the agreement and should be concluded within 12 months. The Parties have also agreed on a Joint Declaration on trade and gender equality which includes provisions on the effective implementation of the international obligations addressing gender equality and women’s rights, and to strengthen cooperation on trade-related aspects of gender equality policies and measures. The Joint Declaration forms an integral part of the Agreement. Focus on the needs of smaller businesses EN 7 EN The ITA requires the EU and Mexico to set up a website for SMEs which will make it easier for them to access information and therefore benefit from all provisions of the Agreement. Contact points in the EU and Mexico will work together to take into account the specific needs of SMEs and identify ways they can take advantage of new opportunities in each market. Provide opportunities for service suppliers and rules for digital trade The ITA contains comprehensive disciplines covering market access for services and investment in all sectors of the economy, and specific disciplines covering digital trade. It aims to create a level playing field especially for EU service suppliers involved in sectors such as telecommunications and financial services, as well as in areas such as delivery services and maritime services. The ITA also provides a framework for the Parties to recognise each other's qualifications in regulated professions such as architects, accountants, lawyers and engineers in the future. In digital trade, the Agreement establishes disciplines that apply horizontally (to online trade in goods, services, etc.) and that are indispensable for the proper functioning of trade online. Encourage investment The ITA contains provisions liberalising investment, following the same approach as that set out in the most ambitious EU trade agreements concluded so far. In particular, all substantive disciplines under the investment chapter will apply to both services and non-services sectors. In particular, investors and their investments will be able to benefit from the commitment to provide non-discriminatory treatment in comparison to domestic or third country investors and investments, as well as from the ambitious disciplines for market access (addressing quantitative restrictions such as monopolies and exclusive rights, quotas, and economic needs tests), as well as prohibition of certain performance requirements. On the energy sector, the ITA ensures that the Most Favoured Nation principle will be applied both in case of past and future FTAs that Mexico has entered or will enter into. The agreement therefore ensures that EU investors will be treated on a par with investors from Mexico’s other preferential trading partners. Provide access to Mexican public tenders The ITA provides for more opportunities for bidders for public procurement contracts. Mexico has opened up its government tenders to EU companies to a greater extent than to any of its other trading partners. EU companies will be able to bid to provide goods and services not only at federal level but also to the most economically important Mexican states, being the first non-Mexican companies to be able to do so. The EU and Mexico also undertake to subject their public procurement procedures to a modern set of rules, applying high standards of transparency, non-discrimination and equal treatment. Set better protection for innovation and creative works The ITA creates a level playing field by ensuring that Mexico and the EU also follow a common approach on enforcing Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and by ensuring that both sides will take action to fight against counterfeiting, piracy and uncompetitive practices. It ensures a high level of protection and enforcement of IPRs. It also includes the reciprocal protection of a selected list of Geographical Indications (GIs) of the EU and Mexico. In the case of the EU, 336 EU GIs will be protected. This is in addition to the EU spirits GIs already protected under the 1997 EU- Mexico Spirit Agreement, which is incorporated and made part of the ITA and will enjoy the same level of protection. Ensure that safe agri-food products are traded without any unnecessary SPS constraints EN 8 EN The ITA include a comprehensive Chapter on Sanitary and Phytosanitary matters (SPS) providing many specific trade facilitation measures (including the elimination of pre- clearance). This should enable faster yet safe trade. Both the EU and Mexico keep their right to set the level of protection they consider appropriate. Ensure that technical regulations, standards, and conformity assessment procedures are non-discriminatory and do not create unnecessary obstacles to trade The ITA reiterates the commitment of the EU and Mexico to base their technical regulations on international standards and to agree on an open list of international standards setting organisations. On conformity assessment, the ITA recognises the different approaches of the Parties to conformity assessment and their relevant trade facilitation measures: for the EU the use the supplier’s declaration of conformity and for Mexico the recognition of product certification carried out in the EU. Ensure transparency and good regulatory practices The ITA includes a Chapter on Transparency with ambitious provisions on the publication, administration, and review and appeal of measures of general application related to trade matters and a chapter that lays down a set of good regulatory practices that EU and Mexico will use when developing regulations. Implement modern procedures on dispute settlement The ITA includes a Chapter on State-to-State Dispute Settlement that lays down effective and transparent modern procedures grounded in due process to prevent and solve any disputes between Mexico and the EU. EN 9 EN 2025/0270 (NLE) Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 91(1), Article 100(2), and Article 207(4), first subparagraph, in conjunction with Article 218(5) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, Whereas: (1) On 4 May 2016, the Council authorised the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to open negotiations and negotiate the modernisation of the Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the United Mexican States, of the other part (‘EU- Mexico Global Agreement’). (2) These negotiations were successfully concluded on 17 January 2025. (3) The modernisation of the existing EU-Mexico Global Agreement foresees two parallel legal instruments. The first instrument is the Political and Economic Strategic Partnership Agreement between the European Union and its Member States, of the one part, and the United Mexican States, of the other part, that includes a Political and Cooperation pillar and a Trade and Investment pillar (inclusive of investment protection provisions). The second instrument is the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) which covers trade and investment liberalisation. The Agreement will cease to have effect and will be replaced by the Modernised Global Agreement upon entry into force of the latter. (4) The objective of the Agreement is to foster increased and sustainable trade and investment between the Parties by expanding and diversifying their economic and trade relations and by creating new opportunities for workers and businesses alike, in particular small businesses, while contributing to the promotion of sustainable development in its social and environmental dimensions. (5) Therefore, the Agreement should be signed on behalf of the Union, subject to its subsequent conclusion, EN 10 EN HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 1 The signing of the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States ('the Agreement') is hereby authorised, subject to the conclusion of the Agreement. * Article 2 This Decision shall enter into force on Done at Brussels, For the Council The President * The text of the Agreement is published in OJ L, XXXXX, ELI EN 11 EN LEGISLATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENT ‘REVENUE’- FOR PROPOSALS HAVING BUDGETARY IMPACT ON THE REVENUE SIDE OF THE BUDGET 1.

ARTICLE 5.10 Application of a Bilateral Safeguard Measure 1. Notwithstanding Section B, if as a result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, an originating good of a Party is being imported into the territory of the other Party in such increased quantities, in absolute terms or relative to domestic production, and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause serious injury to the domestic industry that produces like or directly competitive products, the importing Party may impose the measures provided for in paragraph 2 under the conditions and in accordance with the procedures established in this Section. & /en 117 2. If the conditions in paragraph 1 are met, the importing Party may only impose bilateral safeguard measures which: (a) suspend the further reduction of the rate of customs duty on the product concerned as provided for under this Agreement; or (b) increase the rate of customs duty on the product concerned to a level which does not exceed the lesser of: (i) the most-favoured-nation applied rate of customs duty on the product in effect at the time the measure is imposed; or (ii) the most-favoured-nation applied rate of customs duty on the product in effect on the day immediately preceding the date of entry into force of this Agreement. 3. The Parties share the understanding that neither tariff rate quotas nor quantitative restrictions would be a permissible form of bilateral safeguard measure. & /en 118 ARTICLE 5.11 Conditions and Limitations 1. A Party shall not apply a bilateral safeguard measure: (a) except to the extent, and for such time, as may be necessary to prevent or remedy the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15; (b) for a period exceeding two years; or (c) beyond the expiration of the transition period. The period referred to in subparagraph (b) may be extended by another year if the competent authorities of the importing Party determine, in conformity with the procedures specified in Section C, that the measure continues to be necessary to prevent or remedy the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15 and to facilitate adjustment, provided that the total period of application of a safeguard measure, including the period of initial application and any extension thereof, does not exceed three years. 2. A Party shall only apply a bilateral safeguard measure to originating goods set out in Annex 2-A (Tariff Elimination Schedule), that are subject to preferential treatment under this Agreement. & /en 119 3. In order to facilitate any adjustment in a situation where the expected duration of a bilateral safeguard measure exceeds one year, the Party that applies the measure shall, during the period of application, progressively liberalise the measure at regular intervals. 4. When a Party ceases to apply a bilateral safeguard measure, the rate of customs duty shall be the rate that would have been in effect for the product in accordance with Article 2.4 (Elimination or Reduction of Customs Duties). ARTICLE 5.12 Provisional Measures 1. In critical circumstances where delay would cause damage that would be difficult to repair, a Party may apply a bilateral safeguard measure on a provisional basis, without complying with the requirements of Article 5.22.1, pursuant to a preliminary determination that there is clear evidence that imports of an originating good of the other Party have increased as a result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, and that such imports cause or threaten to cause the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15. & /en 120 2. The duration of any provisional measure shall not exceed 200 days, during which time the Party shall comply with the relevant procedural rules established in Sub-Section C.2. The Party shall promptly refund any tariff increases if the subsequent investigation described in Sub-Section C.2 does not result in the imposition of a definitive measure in compliance with the requirements of Articles 5.10 or 5.15. The duration of any provisional measure shall be counted as part of the period referred to in Article 5.11.1(b). The importing Party shall inform the other Party upon imposing such provisional measures and it shall immediately refer the matter to the Trade Committee for examination if the other Party so requests. ARTICLE 5.13 Compensation and Suspension of Concessions 1. A Party applying a bilateral safeguard measure shall consult with the other Party in order to mutually agree on appropriate trade-liberalising compensation in the form of concessions having substantially equivalent trade effects. The Party applying a bilateral safeguard measure shall provide an opportunity for such consultations no later than 30 days after the application of the bilateral safeguard measure. & /en 121 2. If the consultations referred to in paragraph 1 do not result in an agreement on trade- liberalising compensation within 30 days after the start of the consultations, the Party affected by the bilateral safeguard measure may suspend the application of concessions which have trade effects substantially equivalent to the bilateral safeguard measure of the other Party no later than 90 days after the measure is applied. 3. The Party affected by the bilateral safeguard measure shall notify the other Party in writing at least 30 days prior to the suspension of concessions in accordance with paragraph 2. 4. The obligation to provide compensation pursuant to paragraph 1 and the right to suspend concessions pursuant to paragraph 2 expire on the date of termination of the bilateral safeguard measure. ARTICLE 5.14 Use of Safeguard Measures and Time Lapse in Between Measures 1. A Party shall not apply a safeguard measure referred to in this Section to the import of a product that has previously been subject to such a measure, unless a period of time has elapsed that is equal to half of that during which the safeguard measure was applied for the immediately preceding period. & /en 122 2. A Party shall not apply, with respect to the same product and during the same period: (a) a bilateral safeguard measure or a provisional safeguard measure under this Agreement; and (b) a safeguard measure pursuant to Article XIX of GATT 1994 and under the Safeguards Agreement. ARTICLE 5.15 Outermost Regions 1. If any originating good of Mexico is being imported directly into the territory of one or several outermost regions of the European Union in such increased quantities and under such conditions as to cause or threaten to cause serious deterioration in the economic situation of the outermost region concerned, the European Union, after having examined alternative solutions, may exceptionally impose safeguard measures limited to the territory of the outermost region concerned. 2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, all the provisions of Section C applicable to bilateral safeguard measures are also applicable to any safeguard measure adopted in relation to the outermost regions of the European Union. 3. A bilateral safeguard measure limited to the outermost regions of the European Union shall apply only to goods subject to preferential treatment under this Agreement. & /en 123 4. For the purposes of paragraph 1, "serious deterioration" means major difficulties in a sector of the economy producing like or directly competitive products. The determination of serious deterioration shall be based on objective factors, including the following elements: (a) the increase in the volume of imports in absolute terms or relative to domestic production and to imports from other sources; and (b) the effect of such imports on the situation of the relevant industry or the economic sector concerned, including the levels of sales, production, financial situation and employment. SUB-SECTION C.2 Procedural Rules Applicable to Bilateral Safeguard Measures ARTICLE 5.16 Applicable Law For the application of bilateral safeguard measures, the competent investigating authority shall comply with the provisions of this Sub-Section and, in cases not covered by this Sub-Section, apply the rules established under the law of the Party concerned, as long as those rules are in conformity with the provisions of Section C. & /en 124 ARTICLE 5.17 Initiation of a Safeguard Procedure 1. A competent investigating authority may initiate a safeguard procedure upon a written application made by or on behalf of the domestic industry, or in exceptional circumstances, on its own initiative. In the case of the European Union that application can be filed by one or more Member States of the European Union on behalf of the domestic industry. The application shall be deemed to have been made by or on behalf of the domestic industry if it is supported by those domestic producers whose collective output constitutes more than 50 % of the total production of the like or directly competitive products produced by that portion of the domestic industry expressing either support for or opposition to the application. However, no investigation shall be initiated when domestic producers expressly supporting the application account for less than 25 % of total national production of the like or directly competitive products produced by the domestic industry. 2. Once the investigation has been initiated, the application referred to in paragraph 1 shall promptly be made available to whom it may concern, except for the confidential information contained therein. & /en 125 3. Upon initiation of a safeguard procedure, the competent investigating authority shall publish a notice of initiation of the procedure in the official journal of the Party. The notice shall identify the entity which filed the written application, if applicable, the imported good concerned, its heading, subheading or the tariff item number under which it is classified under the Harmonized System, the nature and timing of the determination to be made, the period within which interested parties may make their views known in writing and submit information, the place at which the written application and any other non-confidential documents filed in the course of the procedure may be inspected and the name, address and telephone number of the office to be contacted for more information. In case the competent investigating authority decides to hold a public hearing, the time and place of that public hearing may be either included in the notice of initiation or notified at any subsequent stage of the procedure, provided that such notice is given well in advance. In case no public hearing is scheduled at the beginning of the investigation, the notice of initiation shall include the period within which interested parties may apply to be heard orally by the competent investigating authority. 4. With respect to a safeguard procedure initiated on the basis of a written application filed by an entity asserting that it is representative of the domestic industry, the competent investigating authority shall not publish the notice of initiation pursuant to paragraph 3 without first assessing carefully that the application meets the requirements of its law and the requirements of paragraph 1, and includes reasonable evidence that imports of an originating good of the other Party have increased as the result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement, and that such imports cause or threaten to cause the alleged serious injury or the alleged serious deterioration in the economic situation. & /en 126 ARTICLE 5.18 Investigation 1. A Party may apply a safeguard measure only following an investigation by the competent investigating authority of that Party pursuant to the procedures established in this Sub-Section. This investigation shall include reasonable public notice to all interested parties, and public hearings or other appropriate means in which importers, exporters and other interested parties can present evidence and their views, including the opportunity to respond to the presentations of other parties. 2. Each Party shall ensure that its competent investigating authority completes any such investigation within one year following its date of initiation. ARTICLE 5.19 Determination of Serious Injury or Threat Thereof and Causal Link 1. In the investigation to determine whether increased imports cause or threaten to cause serious injury to a domestic industry, the competent investigating authority shall evaluate all relevant factors of an objective and quantifiable nature having a bearing on the situation of the domestic industry, in particular the rate and amount of the increase in imports of the product concerned in absolute terms and relative to domestic production, the share of the domestic market taken by the increased imports, and changes in the level of sales, production, productivity, capacity utilisation, profits and losses, and employment. & /en 127 2. The determination that increased imports cause or threaten to cause the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15, shall not be made unless the investigation demonstrates, based on objective evidence, the existence of a clear causal link between the increased imports of the product concerned and the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15. If factors other than the increased imports are, at the same time, causing the situations described in Articles 5.10 or 5.15, such injury or threat thereof, or serious deterioration in the economic situation or threat thereof, shall not be attributed to the increased imports. ARTICLE 5.20 Hearings In the course of each safeguard procedure, the competent investigating authority shall: (a) hold a public hearing, after providing reasonable notice, to allow all interested parties considered as such under the law of the Party concerned, to appear in person or through counsel, to present evidence and to be heard on the serious injury or threat thereof, or on the serious deterioration in the economic situation or threat thereof, and the appropriate remedy; or & /en 128 (b) alternatively, in the case of the European Union, provide an opportunity to all interested parties to be heard provided they have made a written application within the period set out in the notice of initiation showing that they are likely to be affected by the outcome of the investigation and that there are special reasons for them to be heard orally. ARTICLE 5.21 Confidential Information Any information which is by nature confidential or which is provided on a confidential basis shall, upon good cause being shown, be treated as such by the competent investigating authority. Such information shall not be disclosed without permission of the party submitting it. Parties providing confidential information shall be requested to furnish non-confidential summaries thereof or, if those parties indicate that such information cannot be summarised, the reasons why a summary cannot be provided. The summaries shall be in sufficient detail to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the submitted confidential information. However, if the competent investigating authority finds that a request for confidentiality is not warranted and if the party concerned is either unwilling to make the information public or to authorise its disclosure in generalised or summary form, it may disregard such information unless it can be demonstrated to its satisfaction from appropriate sources that the information is correct. & /en 129 ARTICLE 5.22 Adoption, Notification, Consultation and Publication 1. If a Party considers that one of the situations set out in Articles 5.10 or 5.15 exists, it shall immediately refer the matter to the Trade Committee for examination. The Trade Committee may make any recommendation required to remedy the situations that have arisen. If no recommendation has been made by the Trade Committee aimed at remedying the situations, or no other satisfactory solution has been reached within 30 days of the matter being referred to the Trade Committee, the importing Party may adopt the bilateral safeguard measure appropriate to remedy the situations in accordance with Section C. 2. The competent investigating authority shall provide the exporting Party with all relevant information, which shall include evidence of serious injury or threat thereof, or of a serious deterioration, or threat thereof, in the economic situation caused by increased imports, a precise description of the product involved and the proposed bilateral safeguard measure, the proposed date of imposition and the expected duration of the proposed bilateral safeguard measure. 3. A Party shall promptly notify the other Party, in writing, when it: (a) initiates a bilateral safeguard procedure under Section C; (b) decides to apply a provisional bilateral safeguard measure; & /en 130 (c) determines the existence of serious injury or threat thereof, or the serious deterioration in the economic situation or threat thereof, caused by increased imports, pursuant to Article 5.19; (d) decides to apply or extend a bilateral safeguard measure; and (e) decides to modify a bilateral safeguard measure previously adopted. 4. If a Party makes a notification pursuant to subparagraph 3(a), such notification shall include: (a) a copy of the public version of the application and its annexes or, in the case of investigations initiated on the initiative of the competent investigating authority, of the relevant documents showing that the requirements of Article 5.17 are met, as well as a questionnaire detailing the points on which the interested parties must provide information; and (b) a precise description of the imported good concerned. 5. If a Party makes a notification pursuant to subparagraphs 3(b) or (c), it shall include a copy of the public version of its determination and, if applicable, of the document providing the technical reasoning on which the determination is based. & /en 131 6. If a Party makes a notification pursuant to subparagraph 3(d) concerning the application or extension of a bilateral safeguard measure, it shall include in that notification: (a) a copy of the public version of its determination and, if applicable, of the document providing the technical reasoning on which the determination is based; (b) evidence of serious injury or threat thereof, or of a serious deterioration in the economic situation or threat thereof, caused by increased imports of an originating good of the other Party, as a result of the reduction or elimination of a customs duty under this Agreement; (c) a precise description of the originating good subject to the bilateral safeguard measure, including its heading, subheading or the tariff line under which it is classified under the Harmonized System; (d) a precise description of the bilateral safeguard measure applied or extended; (e) the initial date of application of the bilateral safeguard measure, its expected duration and, if applicable, a timetable for progressive liberalisation of the measure; and (f) in case of an extension of the bilateral safeguard measure, evidence that the domestic industry concerned is adjusting. & /en 132 7. At the request of the Party affected by the bilateral safeguard procedure under Section C, the other Party shall hold consultations with the requesting Party to review a notification made pursuant to subparagraphs 3(a) or (b). 8. The Party intending to apply or extend a bilateral safeguard measure shall notify the other Party and give the possibility to hold prior consultations to discuss the eventual application or extension. If no satisfactory solution has been reached within 30 days after the date of the notification the former Party may apply or extend such measure. 9. The competent investigating authority shall also publish its findings and reasoned conclusions reached on all relevant matters of fact and law in the official journal of the Party concerned, including the description of the imported good and the situation which has given rise to the imposition of measures in accordance with Articles 5.10 or 5.15, the causal link between such situation and the increased imports, and the form, level and duration of the measures. 10. The competent investigating authorities shall treat any confidential information in full compliance with Article 5.21. & /en 133 CHAPTER 6 SANITARY AND PHYTOSANITARY MEASURES ARTICLE 6.1 Definitions 1. For the purposes of this Chapter: (a) "competent authorities" means the competent authorities of each Party referred to in Annex 6-A; (b) "emergency measure" means a sanitary or phytosanitary measure that is applied by the importing Party to goods of the other Party to address an urgent problem of human, animal or plant life or health protection that arises or threatens to arise in the importing Party; and (c) "WTO SPS Committee" means the Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures established pursuant to Article 12 of the SPS Agreement. & /en 134 2. The definitions in Annex A of the SPS Agreement, as well as those of the Codex Alimentarius (Codex), the World Organisation for Animal Health (hereinafter referred to as "WOAH") and the International Plant Protection Convention, signed in Rome on 6 December 1951 (hereinafter referred to as "IPPC") apply to this Chapter. ARTICLE 6.2 Objectives The objectives of this Chapter are to: (a) protect human, animal or plant life or health in the territories of the Parties while facilitating trade between them; (b) reinforce and further the implementation of the SPS Agreement; (c) strengthen communication, consultation and cooperation between the Parties, in particular between their competent authorities; (d) ensure that sanitary and phytosanitary measures implemented by the Parties do not create unnecessary barriers to trade; & /en 135 (e) improve consistency, certainty and transparency of the sanitary and phytosanitary measures of each Party and their implementation; and (f) encourage the development and adoption of international standards, guidelines and recommendations by the relevant international organisations and enhance the implementation thereof by the Parties. ARTICLE 6.3 Scope This Chapter applies to all sanitary and phytosanitary measures of a Party that may, directly or indirectly, affect trade between the Parties. ARTICLE 6.4 Relation to the SPS Agreement The Parties affirm their rights and obligations with respect to each other under the SPS Agreement. & /en 136 ARTICLE 6.5 Resources for Implementation Each Party shall use the necessary resources to implement effectively this Chapter. ARTICLE 6.6 Equivalence 1. The Parties acknowledge that the recognition of the equivalence of sanitary and phytosanitary measures of the other Party is an important means to facilitate trade. 2. The importing Party shall recognise sanitary and phytosanitary measures of the exporting Party as equivalent to its own measures if the exporting Party objectively demonstrates to the importing Party that its measures achieve the appropriate level of sanitary and phytosanitary protection of the importing Party. 3. The importing Party has the right to make the final determination as to whether a sanitary or phytosanitary measure applied by the exporting Party achieves its appropriate level of sanitary and phytosanitary protection. & /en 137 4. A Party shall, when assessing or determining the equivalence of a measure of the other Party, take into account among others and if relevant: (a) decisions of the WTO SPS Committee; (b) the work of the relevant international organisations; (c) any knowledge and past experience in trading with the other Party; and (d) information provided by the other Party. 5. Each Party shall base its assessment, determination and maintenance of equivalence on standards, guidelines, and recommendations of the relevant international standardisation bodies or, as appropriate, on a risk assessment. 6. The importing Party shall promptly initiate the assessment to determine the equivalence if it receives a request for an equivalence assessment from the other Party that is supported by the required information. 7. When the importing Party concludes the equivalence assessment, it shall promptly notify its determination to the other Party. & /en 138 8. When the importing Party has determined that it recognises the measure of the exporting Party as equivalent, the importing Party shall promptly initiate the necessary legislative or administrative measures to implement the recognition. 9. Without prejudice to Article 6.16, if a Party intends to adopt, modify or repeal a measure which is subject to an equivalence determination affecting trade between the Parties, that Party shall: (a) notify the other Party of its intention at an appropriate early stage where any comments submitted from the other Party can be taken into account; (b) provide, on request of the other Party, information and the rationale concerning its planned changes. 10. The importing Party shall maintain its recognition of equivalence for the time that the measure, which is subject to the intended change, remains in effect. 11. The Parties shall discuss the intended modifications notified pursuant to subparagraph 9(a) on the request of either Party. The importing Party shall review any information submitted pursuant to subparagraph 9(b) without undue delay. & /en 139 12. If a Party adopts, modifies or repeals a sanitary or phytosanitary measure that is subject to an equivalence determination by the other Party, the importing Party shall maintain its recognition of equivalence provided that the measures of the exporting Party concerning the product continue to achieve the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection of the importing Party. On request of a Party, the Parties shall promptly discuss the determination made by the importing Party. ARTICLE 6.7 Risk Assessment 1. The Parties recognise the importance of ensuring that their respective sanitary and phytosanitary measures are based on scientific principles and conform to the relevant international standards, guidelines and recommendations. 2. If a Party considers that a specific sanitary or phytosanitary measure adopted or maintained by the other Party is constraining, or has the potential to constrain, its exports and that measure is not based on a relevant international standard, guideline or recommendation, or a relevant standard, guideline or recommendation does not exist, that Party may request information from the other Party. The requested Party shall provide to the requesting Party an explanation of the reasons and relevant information regarding that measure. & /en 140 3. If the relevant scientific evidence is insufficient, a Party may provisionally adopt a sanitary or phytosanitary measure on the basis of available pertinent information including from the relevant international organisations. In such circumstances, that Party shall seek to obtain the additional information necessary for a more objective risk assessment and review the sanitary or phytosanitary measure accordingly within a reasonable period of time. 4. Recognising the rights and obligations of the Parties pursuant to the relevant provisions of the SPS Agreement, nothing in this Chapter shall be construed as preventing a Party from: (a) establishing the level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection it determines to be appropriate in accordance with Article 5 of the SPS Agreement; (b) establishing or maintaining an approval procedure that requires a risk assessment to be conducted before that Party grants a product access to its market; or (c) adopting or maintaining sanitary or phytosanitary precautionary measures in accordance with paragraph 7 of Article 5 of the SPS Agreement. 5. Each Party shall ensure that its sanitary and phytosanitary measures do not arbitrarily or unjustifiably discriminate between the Parties where identical or similar conditions prevail. A Party shall not apply sanitary and phytosanitary measures in a manner that would constitute a disguised restriction to trade between the Parties. & /en 141 6. A Party conducting a risk assessment shall: (a) take into account relevant guidance of the WTO SPS Committee and international standards, guidelines and recommendations; (b) consider risk management options that are no more trade restrictive than required to achieve the level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection it has determined to be appropriate in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the SPS Agreement, taking into account technical and economic feasibility, and (c) take into account the objective of minimising negative effects on trade when determining the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 5 of the SPS Agreement, and select a risk management option that is no more trade restrictive than required to achieve the sanitary or phytosanitary objective, taking into account technical and economic feasibility. 7. On request of the exporting Party, the importing Party shall inform the exporting Party of the progress made with regard to a specific risk assessment concerning a market access request of the exporting Party, and of any delay that may occur during the process. & /en 142 8. Without prejudice to Article 6.16, a Party shall not stop the importation of a product of the other Party solely for the reason that the Party is undertaking a review of its sanitary or phytosanitary measures, if the importing Party permitted the importation of that product of the other Party at the time the review was initiated. ARTICLE 6.8 Adaptation to Regional Conditions, Including Pest- or Disease-Free Areas and Areas of Low Pest or Disease Prevalence General 1. The Parties recognise that the adaptation of sanitary and phytosanitary measures to regional pest or disease conditions is an important means to protect animal and plant life or health, and to facilitate trade. 2. The Parties shall recognise the concepts of pest- or disease- free areas and areas of low pest or disease prevalence. The determination of such areas shall be based on factors such as geography, ecosystems, epidemiological surveillance, and the effectiveness of sanitary or phytosanitary controls. & /en 143 3. The exporting Party claiming that areas within its territory are pest- or disease-free areas or areas of low pest or disease prevalence shall provide the necessary evidence thereof in order to objectively demonstrate to the importing Party that such areas are, and are likely to remain, pest- or disease-free areas or areas of low pest or disease prevalence, respectively. For that purpose, the exporting Party shall, on request of the importing Party, provide reasonable access for inspection, testing and other relevant procedures. 4. When determining the areas referred to in paragraph 2 by regionalisation decisions, the Parties shall take into account the relevant guidance of the WTO SPS Committee and base their measures on international standards, guidelines and recommendations, or, in case those do not achieve the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection of the Party, on a risk assessment appropriate to the circumstances. 5. For the determination of areas referred to in paragraph 2, the importing Party shall take into account any relevant information of and prior experience with the authorities of the exporting Party. 6. The importing Party may determine that an expedited process can be used to evaluate a request from the exporting Party for recognition of pest- or disease-free areas or areas of low pest or disease prevalence. 7. If the exporting Party does not agree with the determination of the importing Party, the importing Party shall provide a justification to the exporting Party. & /en 144 8. On request of the importing Party, the exporting Party shall provide a full explanation and supporting data for the determinations and decisions covered by this Article. During those processes, the Parties shall endeavour to avoid unnecessary disruption to trade. Animals, Animal Products and Animal By-Products 9. The Parties recognise the principle of zoning which they agree to apply in their trade. The Parties also recognise the official animal health status as determined by the WOAH. 10. The importing Party shall normally base its own determination of the animal health status of the exporting Party on the evidence provided by the exporting Party in accordance with the SPS Agreement and the WOAH Terrestrial Animal Health Code and the WOAH Aquatic Animal Health Code. 11. The importing Party shall assess any additional information received from the exporting Party without undue delay and normally within 90 days after receipt. The importing Party may request an on-site inspection to the exporting Party and shall carry out any inspection in accordance with the principles set out in Article 6.11 and within 90 days following receipt of the request for inspection by the exporting Party unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. 12. The Parties recognise the concept of compartmentalisation and shall cooperate on this matter. & /en 145 Plants and Plant Products 13. The Parties recognise the concepts of pest free areas, pest free places of production and pest free production sites, as well as areas of low pest prevalence as means to protect plant life or health, and to facilitate trade as specified in relevant IPPC International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (hereinafter referred to as "ISPM"), which they agree to apply to goods traded between them. 14. On request of the exporting Party, the importing Party shall, when adopting or maintaining phytosanitary measures, take into account pest free areas, pest free places of production, pest free production sites, as well as areas of low pest prevalence established by the exporting Party in accordance with the relevant international standards, guidelines and recommendations. 15. The exporting Party shall identify pest free areas, pest free places of production, pest free production sites or areas of low pest prevalence and provide that information to the other Party. On request, the exporting Party shall provide a full explanation and supporting data in accordance with the relevant ISPM or otherwise as appropriate. 16. Without prejudice to Article 6.16, the importing Party shall, in principle, base its own determination of the plant health status of the exporting Party or parts thereof on the information provided by the exporting Party in accordance with the SPS Agreement and the relevant ISPM. & /en 146 17. The importing Party shall assess any additional information received from the exporting Party without undue delay and normally within 90 days after receipt. The importing Party may request an on-site inspection to the exporting Party and shall carry out any inspection in accordance with the principles set out in Article 6.11 and within 6 months following receipt of the request for inspection by the exporting Party unless otherwise agreed between the Parties. When agreeing on a different period, the Parties shall take into account the biology of the pest and the crop concerned. ARTICLE 6.9 Transparency 1. The Parties recognise the value of sharing information about their sanitary and phytosanitary measures on an ongoing basis, and of providing the other Party with the opportunity to comment on their proposed sanitary and phytosanitary measures. 2. In implementing this Article, each Party shall take into account relevant guidance of the WTO SPS Committee as well as international standards, guidelines and recommendations. & /en 147 3. Unless urgent problems of human, animal or plant life or health protection arise or threaten to arise, or the measure is of a trade-facilitating nature, a Party shall notify a proposed sanitary or phytosanitary measure which may affect trade between the Parties and normally allow at least 60 days after the notification for the other Party to provide written comments. If feasible and appropriate, that Party should allow more than 60 days for comments and shall consider any reasonable request from the other Party to extend the time period for comments. On request, the Party shall respond to the written comments of the other Party in an appropriate manner. 4. The Parties shall: (a) pursue transparency as regards sanitary and phytosanitary measures applicable to trade; (b) enhance mutual understanding of the sanitary or phytosanitary measures of each Party and their application; and (c) exchange information on matters related to the development and application of sanitary or phytosanitary measures with a view to minimising their negative effects on trade between the Parties. & /en 148 5. Each Party shall, on request of the other Party and normally within 15 days after the receipt of the request, provide information on: (a) import requirements that apply for the import of specific products; and (b) progress on the application for the approval of specific products. 6. The information referred to in subparagraph 4(c) and paragraph 5 is deemed to be provided if it has been made available by notification to the WTO in accordance with the relevant rules and procedures or if the information has been made available free of fees on a publicly accessible official website of the Party. 7. On request, a Party shall provide to the other Party the relevant information that the Party considered to develop the proposed measure, as appropriate and to the extent permitted by the confidentiality and privacy requirements of the Party providing the information. 8. A Party may request the other Party to discuss, if appropriate and feasible, about any trade concern in relation to a proposed sanitary or phytosanitary measure and about the availability of alternative, significantly less trade-restrictive approaches for achieving the objective of that measure. 9. Each Party shall publish, preferably by electronic means, notices of sanitary or phytosanitary measures in an official journal or on a website. & /en 149 10. Each Party shall ensure that the text or the notice of a sanitary or phytosanitary measure specifies the date on which the measure takes effect and the legal basis for the measure. 11. The exporting Party shall notify the importing Party in a timely and appropriate manner: (a) of a significant sanitary or phytosanitary risk related to the current trade; (b) of urgent situations where a change in animal or plant health status in the territory of the exporting Party may affect current trade; (c) of significant changes in the pest or disease status, such as the presence and evolution of pests or diseases, including the application of regionalisation decisions; and (d) of significant changes in food safety, pest or disease management, control or eradication policies or practices that may affect current trade. 12. If feasible and appropriate, a Party should provide a period of more than six months between the date of publication of a sanitary or phytosanitary measure that may affect trade between the Parties and the date on which the measure takes effect, unless the measure is intended to address an urgent problem of human, animal or plant life or health protection or the measure is of a trade- facilitating nature. 13. A Party shall provide to the other Party, on request, information on all sanitary or phytosanitary measures related to the importation of a product into its territory. & /en 150 ARTICLE 6.10 Trade Facilitation Approval Procedures 1. The Parties recognise that each Party has the right to develop and apply approval procedures to ensure the fulfillment of the appropriate level of sanitary and phytosanitary protection of the importing Party while minimising negative effects on trade. 2. Each Party shall ensure that all sanitary and phytosanitary approval procedures affecting trade between the Parties: (a) are undertaken and completed without undue delay; and (b) are not conducted in a manner which would constitute an arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination against the other Party. 3. Each Party shall endeavour to ensure that products exported to the other Party meet the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection of the importing Party. To that end, the exporting Party shall establish and carry out appropriate control measures, including risk-based on-site inspections where appropriate. The importing Party may require that the relevant competent authority of the exporting Party objectively demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the importing Party, that its import requirements are fulfilled. & /en 151 4. If the importing Party requires a product to be approved prior to importation, that Party shall, on request of the exporting Party, promptly make available information about sanitary and phytosanitary import procedures. The importing Party shall in particular ensure that: (a) the standard processing period of each procedure is published or that the anticipated processing period is communicated on request to the exporting Party; (b) the competent authority of the importing Party, when receiving an application, promptly examines the completeness of the documentation and informs the exporting Party in a precise and complete manner of all missing elements; (c) the competent authority of the importing Party transmits as soon as possible the results of the procedure in a precise and complete manner to the exporting Party so that corrective action, if necessary, may be taken; (d) the competent authority of the importing Party proceeds, even if the application is missing elements, as far as practicable with the procedure if the exporting Party so requests; and (e) the competent authority of the importing Party informs the exporting Party, on request, of the stage of the procedure including an explanation of any delay. & /en 152 5. If a Party requires for the approval process a risk assessment, that Party shall under normal circumstances promptly, and normally within one year after the date of receipt of the required information for the exportation of the product, make that risk assessment available. 6. Each Party shall endeavour to apply reasonable timelines for all steps of its approval processes and shall promptly start those processes on receipt of an application from the other Party. 7. Each Party shall avoid unnecessary duplication and administrative burdens with respect to: (a) any documentation, information or action that it requires of the applicant as part of its approval processes; and (b) any information the Party evaluates as part of the approval processes. 8. Each Party shall promptly make available any changes to its required approval processes or related requirements. Except in duly justified circumstances related to its level of protection, each Party shall provide a transition period between the publication of any changes to its approval processes or related requirements and their entry into force to allow the other Party to become familiar with and adapt to such changes. Each Party shall endeavour to accommodate and avoid lengthening the approval process for applications submitted prior to the publication of the changes. If the change of the approval processes reduces burdens, the entry into force shall not be unnecessarily delayed. & /en 153 9. On request, a Party shall provide, in a timely manner, to the other Party information on the stage of the approval procedure. Specific Plant Health related Conditions 10. In accordance with applicable standards agreed under the IPPC, each Party shall maintain adequate information on its pest status, which may include surveillance, eradication and containment programmes and their results, in order to support the categorisation of pests and to justify phytosanitary import measures. 11. Each Party shall endeavour to establish and update a list of regulated pests for products for which a phytosanitary concern exists. The list shall contain: (a) the quarantine pests not present within any part of its territory; (b) the quarantine pests present but not widely distributed and under official control; and (c) the regulated non-quarantine pests. 12. Each Party shall limit its import requirements for plants or plant products for which a phytosanitary concern exists to measures ensuring the absence of regulated pests. Such import requirements shall be applicable to the entire territory of the exporting Party taking into account the regional conditions. & /en 154 13. Consignments of products for which phytosanitary measures exist shall be accepted on the basis of adequate guarantees provided by the exporting Party without pre-clearance programs. The importing Party may, based on a system approach, confer the related activities for the trade of products to the competent authority of the exporting Party. 14. The Parties shall only adopt phytosanitary measures that are technically justified, consistent with the pest risk involved and represent the least restrictive measures available. 15. For the purpose of implementing paragraphs 10 to 14, the Parties shall take into account the relevant ISPM. Specific Sanitary and Phytosanitary Import Requirements 16. If several sanitary or phytosanitary measures are available to achieve the appropriate level of protection of the importing Party, the Parties shall, on request of the exporting Party, establish a technical dialogue with a view to avoid unnecessary trade disruption and to select the most practicable solution. & /en 155 ARTICLE 6.11 Audits 1. In order to determine the ability of the exporting Party to provide the required assurances and to comply with the sanitary and phytosanitary measures of the importing Party, the importing Party shall have the right to audit, subject to the provisions of this Article, the competent authorities and associated or designated inspection systems of the exporting Party. 2. The importing Party may determine that it is necessary to carry out an audit as one of the tools to assess the official inspection and certification systems of the exporting Party. Such audit shall follow a systems-based approach which relies on the examination of a sample of system procedures, documents or records and, where required, on-site inspections of facilities within the scope of the audit. 3. Audits shall focus primarily on evaluating the effectiveness of the official inspection and certification systems as well as the capacity of the exporting Party to comply with the sanitary and phytosanitary import requirements and related control measures, rather than on evaluating specific establishments or facilities, in order to determine the ability of the exporting Party's competent authorities to have and maintain control and deliver the required assurances to the importing country. & /en 156 4. In conducting an audit, the importing Party shall take into account relevant guidance of the WTO SPS Committee and act in conformity with relevant international standards, guidelines, and recommendations. 5. The importing Party shall determine the nature and frequency of audits taking into account the inherent risks of the product, the track record of past import checks and other available information, such as audits and inspections carried-out by the competent authority of the exporting Party. 6. Each Party shall endeavour to reduce the frequency and number of audits. If the importing Party considers it necessary to carry out an audit as one of the tools to assess the official inspection and certification systems of the exporting Party, as well as the capacity of the exporting Party to comply with the sanitary and phytosanitary import requirements and related control measures, the following shall apply: (a) for the first export request for a specific product, the importing Party shall carry out an audit on a representative sample of the other Party; and (b) for any subsequent export request for the same product, with the aim to shorten the time of the approval procedure, the importing Party shall carry out an audit to the exporting Party only in duly justified circumstances. If the importing Party carries out an audit, it shall provide an explanation to the exporting Party. & /en 157 7. Prior to the audit, the competent authorities of the importing Party and of the exporting Party shall discuss and lay down in an audit plan: (a) the rationale for, and the objectives and scope of the audit; (b) the criteria or requirements against which the exporting Party will be assessed; and (c) the itinerary and procedures for conducting the audit. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the importing Party shall provide the exporting Party an audit plan at least 30 days prior to the audit. 8. The importing Party shall provide information about the results of the audit in writing to the exporting Party by means of an audit report that sets out findings, conclusions and recommendations. 9. The importing Party shall provide the draft audit report to the exporting Party, normally within 30 days of the conclusion of the audit. 10. The importing Party shall provide the exporting Party with the opportunity to comment on the findings of the audit. The importing Party may take any such comments into account before drawing conclusions and taking any action. The importing Party shall provide a final report in writing to the exporting Party normally within two months after the date of receipt of those comments. & /en 158 11. The exporting Party shall inform the importing Party of any corrective actions taken on the basis of the importing Party's findings and conclusions. 12. Each Party shall ensure that procedures are in place to prevent the disclosure of confidential information obtained during an audit of the competent authorities of the exporting Party, including procedures to remove any confidential information from a final audit report before that report is made publicly available. 13. Any measures taken as a result of audits shall be proportionate to the risks identified and shall not be more trade restrictive than required to achieve the appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection of the importing Party. If so requested, consultations regarding the situation shall be held in accordance with Article 6.19. The Parties shall consider any information provided through such consultations. 14. Each Party shall bear its own costs associated with the audit. ARTICLE 6.12 Import Checks 1. Each Party shall ensure that its import checks are risk-based, carried out without undue delay and applied in a proportionate and non-discriminatory manner. & /en 159 2. Each Party shall ensure that products exported to the other Party meet the sanitary and phytosanitary requirements of the importing Party. 3. Each Party shall make available to the other Party, on request, information on its import procedures including the frequency of import checks regarding sanitary and phytosanitary measures and the factors it considers as determining the risks associated with importations. 4. If an import check reveals that a product does not comply with the relevant import requirements, the importing Party shall: (a) base its action on an assessment of the risk involved and ensure that the action is not more trade-restrictive than necessary to achieve its appropriate level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection; (b) inform the importer or its representative of the reasons for the non-compliance, the legal basis for the action and, as appropriate, on the place of disposal of that consignment; and (c) provide to the importer or its representative the opportunity to provide additional information for assisting that Party in taking a decision. & /en 160 5. If a Party prohibits or restricts the importation of a good of the other Party on the basis of a negative result of an import check, the importing Party, shall, in accordance with its law, if requested by the competent authority of the exporting Party or the operator responsible for the consignment, provide in writing through normal channels the reason for the prohibition or restriction, the legal basis or authorisation for the action and, as appropriate, information on the place of disposal of that consignment.21 6. If the rejected consignment is accompanied by a sanitary or phytosanitary certificate, the importing Party shall inform the competent authority of the exporting Party and provide all appropriate information, including the legal basis for the action, detailed laboratory results and methods. The importing Party shall maintain physical and electronic documentation regarding the identification, collection, sampling, transportation and storage of the test sample and the analytical methods used on the test sample. The importing Party shall also inform the importer or its representative on the disposal of that consignment. In the case of pest interceptions, the notification shall indicate the pest at species level whenever feasible. 7. If the importing Party determines that there is a significant, sustained or recurring pattern of non-conformity with a sanitary or phytosanitary measure, the importing Party shall notify the exporting Party of the non-conformity. 21 For greater certainty, nothing in this Article prevents an importing Party from disposing of a consignment which is found to have an infectious pathogen or pest that can, if urgent action is not taken, spread and cause damage to human, animal or plant life or health in the territory of that Party. & /en 161 8. Notwithstanding paragraph 6, the importing Party shall provide to the exporting Party, on request, available information on goods from the exporting Party that were found not to be in conformity to a sanitary or phytosanitary measure of the importing Party. 9. Any fees imposed with respect to any procedure to check and ensure the fulfilment of sanitary or phytosanitary measures shall not be higher than the actual cost of the service. ARTICLE 6.13 Certification 1. If a Party requires a sanitary or phytosanitary certificate for the importation of a good such certificate shall be based on the international standards of the Codex, the IPPC and the WOAH. 2. Each Party shall ensure that its certificates, including any attestations, are prepared in a manner that avoids imposing unnecessary burdens for the trade between the Parties. 3. The importing Party shall promptly provide to the other Party, on request, information on the certificates required for a specific product. 4. The Parties shall strengthen their cooperation in developing model certificates with a view to reducing administrative burdens and facilitating access to their respective markets. & /en 162 5. The Parties shall promote the implementation of electronic certification and other technologies to facilitate trade between them. 6. Each Party shall accept the exchange of original certificates either by a paper-based system or by a secure method of electronic data transmission that offers an equivalent certification guarantee. The exporting Party may provide electronic official certification if the importing Party has determined that equivalent security guarantees are provided, including the use of a digital signature and the guarantee of the authenticity of the document. ARTICLE 6.14 Application of SPS Measures 1. Without prejudice to Article 6.8, each Party shall apply its sanitary or phytosanitary measures to the territory of the other Party. 2. In order to avoid an arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination, the same import requirements shall apply to the territory of the exporting Party where identical or similar sanitary or phytosanitary conditions exist. & /en 163 3. For the first export request for a specific product, the importing Party shall promptly start the approval procedure for an application of the other Party or, as the case may be, of one or a group of Member States of the European Union. The approval procedure shall follow the procedure set out in Article 6.10 and, in case of an application of a group of Member States where identical or similar sanitary or phytosanitary conditions exist, shall not take longer than for an application of one Member State. 4. For a subsequent export request related to the same product, the importing Party shall approve the application no later than six months after the reception of the request, except in duly justified cases. Information requests shall be limited to what is necessary and shall take into account information already available to the importing Party, such as information on the legislative framework and previous audit reports. ARTICLE 6.15 Elimination of Redundant Control Measures 1. The Parties recognise that the exporting Party is responsible for ensuring that establishments, facilities and products eligible for exports meet the applicable sanitary requirements of the importing Party. & /en 164 2. If the importing Party maintains a list of approved establishments or facilities for the import of a specific good, it shall, on request of the exporting Party accompanied by the appropriate guarantees, approve an establishment or facility situated in the territory of the exporting Party without prior inspection thereof, subject to the following conditions and procedures: (a) the importing Party has authorised the import of the good on the basis of an evaluation of the control system on animal health and food safety conditions applied by the competent authorities of the exporting Party; (b) the establishment or facility concerned has been approved by the competent authority of the exporting Party; (c) the competent authority of the exporting Party has the authority to suspend or withdraw the approval of the establishment or facility concerned; and (d) the exporting Party has provided the relevant information requested by the importing Party. 3. The importing Party shall include the establishments or facilities on the list of approved establishments or facilities normally within 45 days after the date of receipt of the request of the exporting Party. The list shall be made publicly available. & /en 165 4. The importing Party shall have the right to audit the control system of the exporting Party after the export approval. Those audits may include on-site inspection of a representative number of establishments or facilities included in the list of approved establishments or facilities, or of those requested for approval by the exporting Party. If the importing Party identifies as a result of the audit serious recurrent cases of non-compliance, the importing Party may suspend the recognition of the control system of the competent authority of the exporting Party. 5. In duly justified circumstances, the importing Party may refuse the approval of establishments or facilities that are considered as non-compliant with its requirements. In such a case, the importing Party shall notify the exporting Party of the refusal to approve establishments or facilities and provide a justification for that refusal. 6. The importing Party may carry out audits in accordance with Article 6.11 as part of the approval procedure. Such audits shall be limited to the structure, organisation and responsibilities of the competent authority responsible for the approval of the establishment or facility and the sanitary guarantees regarding the compliance with the requirements of the importing Party. Those audits may include on-site inspection of a representative number of establishments or facilities listed as approved establishments or facilities or for which a request for approval was made by the exporting Party. 7. Based on the results of such audits, the importing Party may modify the list of establishments or facilities. 8. This Article does not apply to measures relating to plants and plant products. & /en 166 ARTICLE 6.16 Emergency Measures 1. The importing Party may, on serious grounds, provisionally adopt the emergency measures necessary for the protection of human, animal or plant life or health. 2. A Party that adopts an emergency measure shall promptly notify that measure in writing to the other Party. The Party that has adopted an emergency measure shall take into consideration any information provided by the other Party. 3. After adopting an emergency measure, the Party shall review the rationale thereof normally within six months, provided that the relevant information is available, and inform on request the other Party of the results of the review. A Party shall not maintain the emergency measure unless the urgent problem or the threat persists. If the Party maintains the emergency measure, that measure should be periodically reviewed. 4. A Party that adopts an emergency measure shall, in order to avoid unnecessary disruptions to trade, provide the most suitable and proportionate solution for consignments in transport between the Parties, taking into account the identified risk. & /en 167 ARTICLE 6.17 Cooperation 1. The Parties shall explore, in accordance with this Chapter, options for further cooperation and information exchange between the Parties on sanitary and phytosanitary matters of mutual interest. Those options may include trade facilitation initiatives. 2. The Parties shall cooperate to facilitate the implementation of this Chapter and may jointly identify initiatives on sanitary and phytosanitary matters with the aim of eliminating unnecessary barriers to trade between the Parties. 3. The Parties may promote cooperation in all multilateral fora, in particular with the relevant international standardisation bodies. ARTICLE 6.18 Exchange of Information Without prejudice to other provisions of this Chapter, a Party may request information from the other Party on matters arising under this Chapter. The requested Party shall endeavour to provide, in conformity with its own confidentiality and privacy requirements, available information to the requesting Party within a reasonable period of time, and if possible, by electronic means. & /en 168 ARTICLE 6.19 Consultations 1. Each Party may request consultations on specific trade concerns relating to sanitary and phytosanitary measures. 2. The Parties shall hold those consultations within 30 days after the receipt of the request, unless the Parties agree otherwise. 3. The Parties shall endeavour to provide all relevant information necessary to reach a mutually agreed solution that avoids unnecessary disruption to trade. ARTICLE 6.20 Contact Points 1. Each Party shall designate a contact point for the implementation of this Chapter and notify the other Party of the contact details including the indication of the official in charge. 2. The Parties shall promptly notify each other of any change of those contact details. & /en 169 ARTICLE 6.21 Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures 1. The Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures established pursuant to Article 33.4.1(e)(Sub-Committees and Other Bodies) shall: (a) provide a forum to improve the Parties' understanding of sanitary and phytosanitary matters that relate to the implementation of this Chapter, including the regulatory processes related to SPS measures; (b) monitor the implementation of this Chapter and consider any matter relating to this Chapter, including all matters which may arise in relation to its implementation; (c) provide a forum for discussion of concerns from the application of sanitary or phytosanitary measures with a view to reaching mutually acceptable solutions and promptly addressing any matters that may create unnecessary obstacles to trade between the Parties; (d) exchange information, expertise and experiences on sanitary and phytosanitary matters; 2. The Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures may: (a) identify areas for cooperation on sanitary and phytosanitary measures which may include technical assistance; & /en 170 (b) promote cooperation on sanitary and phytosanitary matters under discussion in multilateral fora, including the WTO SPS Committee and international standardisation bodies; and (c) establish working groups consisting of expert-level representatives of the Parties, to address specific sanitary or phytosanitary matters, which may invite, with the modalities to be decided, other experts to participate, including from non-governmental organisations. & /en 171 CHAPTER 7 COOPERATION ON ANIMAL WELFARE AND ANTI-MICROBIAL RESISTANCE ARTICLE 7.1 Objectives The objectives of this Chapter are to provide a framework for dialogue and cooperation with a view to enhancing the protection and welfare of animals and reaching a common understanding concerning animal welfare standards, and to strengthen the fight against the development of anti-microbial resistance. ARTICLE 7.2 Animal Welfare 1. The Parties recognise that animals are sentient beings. & /en 172 2. The Parties recognise the value of the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) animal welfare standards, and shall endeavour to improve their implementation while respecting their right to determine the level of their science-based measures based on the WOAH animal welfare standards. 3. The Parties shall endeavour to cooperate in international fora with the aim of promoting further development of good animal welfare practices and their implementation. The Parties recognise the value of increased research collaboration in the area of animal welfare. ARTICLE 7.3 Anti-Microbial Resistance 1. The Parties recognise that anti-microbial resistance is a serious threat to human and animal health. Misuse of anti-microbials in animal production, including non-therapeutic use, can contribute to anti-microbial resistance that may represent a risk to human and animal health. The Parties recognise that the nature of the threat requires a transnational and "One Health"22 approach. 2. The Parties shall cooperate to reduce the use of anti-microbials in animal production and to ban their use as growth promotors with the aim of combatting anti-microbial resistance in line with the "One Health" approach. 22 "One Health" as defined by the World Health Organisation (WHO) is an approach combining policies in multiple sectors to achieve better public health outcomes. & /en 173 3. The Parties shall cooperate in and follow existing and future guidelines, standards, recommendations and actions developed in relevant international organisations, initiatives and national plans aiming to promote the prudent and responsible use of anti-microbials in animal husbandry and veterinary practices. 4. The Parties shall promote cooperation in all multilateral fora, in particular in the international standard setting bodies. ARTICLE 7.4 Working Group on Animal Welfare and Anti-Microbial Resistance 1. The Parties shall endeavour to exchange information, expertise and experiences in the fields of animal welfare and combatting anti-microbial resistance with the aim of implementing Articles 7.2 and 7.3. 2. To that end, the Parties shall establish a working group on animal welfare and anti-microbial resistance which shall share information with the Sub-Committee on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, as appropriate. The representatives of the Parties in the working group may jointly decide to invite experts for specific activities. & /en 174 ARTICLE 7.5 Non-Application of Dispute Settlement A Party shall not have recourse to dispute settlement under Chapter 31 (Dispute Settlement) concerning the interpretation or application of the provisions of this Chapter. & /en 175 CHAPTER 8 RECOGNITION OF THE PARTIES' RIGHT TO REGULATE THE ENERGY SECTOR ARTICLE 8.1 Recognition of the Parties' Right to Regulate the Energy Sector 1. The Parties confirm their full respect for their respective sovereignty, which includes the ownership and management of all hydrocarbons in the subsoil of their respective territories by the state or by the relevant public authorities, and their respective sovereign right to regulate with respect to matters addressed in this Chapter in accordance with their respective law, in the full exercise of their democratic processes. 2. In the case of Mexico, the European Union, without prejudice to its rights and remedies available under this Agreement,23 recognizes that: (a) Mexico reserves its sovereign right to reform its Constitution (Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) and its domestic legislation regarding the energy sector, including hydrocarbons and electricity; 23 For greater certainty, these rights and remedies include those arising from Mexico's obligations pursuant to the provisions in Chapter 10 (Investment) and the related annexes. & /en 176 (b) Mexico has the direct, inalienable, and imprescriptible ownership of all hydrocarbons in the subsoil of the national territory, including the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone located outside the territorial sea and adjacent thereto, in strata or deposits, regardless of their physical conditions pursuant to Mexico's Constitution; and (c) Mexico reserves its sovereign right to adopt or maintain measures regarding the energy sector, including hydrocarbons and electricity. & /en 177 CHAPTER 9 TECHNICAL BARRIERS TO TRADE ARTICLE 9.1 Objective The objective of this Chapter is to facilitate trade in goods between the Parties by preventing, identifying and eliminating unnecessary technical barriers to trade, enhancing transparency and promoting greater regulatory cooperation. ARTICLE 9.2 Scope 1. This Chapter applies to the preparation, adoption and application of standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, as defined in Annex 1 to the TBT Agreement, that may affect trade in goods between the Parties. & /en 178 2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, this Chapter does not apply to: (a) technical specifications prepared by procuring entities for their own production or consumption requirements; or (b) sanitary and phytosanitary measures covered by Chapter 6 (Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures). 3. All references in this Chapter to standards, technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures include amendments thereto and additions to the rules or the product coverage thereof, except amendments and additions of an insignificant nature. ARTICLE 9.3 Relation with the TBT Agreement Articles 2 to 9 and Annexes 1 and 3 to the TBT Agreement are hereby incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, mutatis mutandis. & /en 179 ARTICLE 9.4 International Standards 1. The Parties recognise the important role that international standards, guides and recommendations can play in supporting greater regulatory alignment, good regulatory practice and reducing unnecessary technical barriers to trade. To that end, the Parties shall use relevant international standards as a basis for their technical regulations, except when the Party developing the technical regulation can demonstrate that such international standards would be ineffective or inappropriate for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued. 2. In addition to the obligations set out in Articles 2 and 5 and Annex 3 of the TBT Agreement, each Party shall consider, among others, the Decisions and Recommendations adopted by the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade since 1 January 1995.24 3. Standards developed by international organisations including those listed in Annex 9-A shall be considered to be relevant international standards, provided that in their development those organisations have complied with the principles and procedures set out in the Decision of the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations.25 24 WTO Document G/TBT/1/Rev. 13, dated 8 March 2017, as may be revised. 25 Contained in WTO Document G/TBT/1/Rev. 13, dated 8 March 2017, as may be revised. & /en 180 4. At the request of either Party the Trade Committee may by decision update the list in Annex 9-A. 5. With a view to harmonising standards on as wide a basis as possible, each Party shall encourage the standardisation bodies within its territory, as well as the regional standardisation bodies of which the Party or the standardisation bodies within its territory are members, to: (a) participate, within the limits of their resources, in the preparation of international standards by relevant international standardisation bodies; (b) use relevant international standards as a basis for the standards they develop, except where such international standards would be ineffective or inappropriate, for instance because of an insufficient level of protection or fundamental climatic or geographical factors or fundamental technological problems; (c) avoid duplication of, or overlap with, the work of international standardisation bodies; (d) review national and regional standards not based on relevant international standards at regular intervals, with a view to increasing their convergence with relevant international standards; & /en 181 (e) cooperate with the relevant standardisation bodies of the other Party in international standardisation activities to ensure that international standards, guides and recommendations that are likely to become a basis for technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures do not create unnecessary obstacles to international trade; that cooperation may be undertaken in international standardisation bodies or at regional level; (f) foster bilateral cooperation with the standardisation bodies within the territory of the other Party, as well as the regional standardisation bodies of which the other Party or the standardisation bodies within its territory are members; (g) make publicly available through a website their work programs containing a list of the standards they are currently preparing and of the standards they have adopted. 6. Article 9.6 of this Chapter and Articles 2 or 5 of the TBT Agreement apply to a draft technical regulation or a draft conformity assessment procedure, which makes a standard mandatory through incorporation or referencing. & /en 182 ARTICLE 9.5 Conformity Assessment Procedures 1. The Parties recognise that different mechanisms exist to facilitate the acceptance of the results of conformity assessment, including: (a) voluntary agreements between the conformity assessment bodies within the territories of the Parties; (b) agreements on the mutual acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures with regard to specific technical regulations, carried out by bodies located within the territory of the other Party; (c) use of accreditation procedures to qualify conformity assessment bodies; (d) government designation or, if applicable, approval of conformity assessment bodies; (e) recognition by a Party of the results of conformity assessment bodies within the territory of the other Party; and (f) acceptance of the supplier's declaration of conformity by the importing Party. & /en 183 2. Recognising the differences in the conformity assessment procedures in their respective territories: (a) the European Union shall, as provided for in its laws and regulations, apply the regime of supplier's declaration of conformity; and (b) Mexico shall, as provided for in its laws and regulations, accept as an assurance that a product conforms to the requirements of Mexico's technical regulations, including technical regulations enacted after the entry into force of this Agreement, and without additional requirements, certificates issued by conformity assessment bodies within the territory of the European Union and that have been accredited by a Mexican accreditation entity and approved by the competent authority. In this regard, Mexico shall accord to conformity assessment bodies within the territory of the European Union treatment no less favourable than that it accords to conformity assessment bodies within its own territory. Nothing in this subparagraph shall preclude Mexico from verifying the results of individual conformity assessment procedures, as long as it does not require that a product is subject to conformity assessment procedures in the territory of Mexico duplicating the conformity assessment procedures already conducted in the territory of the European Union, except on a random or infrequent basis for the purpose of surveillance, audit or in response to information indicating non-conformity. & /en 184 3. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, a Party may introduce requirements for mandatory third party testing or certification for products if compelling reasons related to the protection of human health and safety justify the introduction of such requirements or certification. 4. Nothing in this Article shall preclude a Party from requesting that a conformity assessment in relation to specific products is performed by specified governmental bodies of that Party. In such cases, the Party shall: (a) limit the conformity assessment fees to the approximate cost of the services rendered and, on request of an applicant for conformity assessment, explain how the fees imposed are limited in amount to the approximate cost of the services rendered; (b) make publicly available the conformity assessment fees; and (c) on request of the other Party, and in addition to the obligations set out in Articles 5.2.3, 5.2.4 and 5.2.8 of the TBT Agreement, explain: (i) how the information required is necessary to assess conformity and determine fees; (ii) how the Party ensures that the confidentiality of the information required is respected in a manner that ensures the protection of legitimate commercial interests; and & /en 185 (iii) the procedure to review complaints concerning the operation of the conformity assessment procedure. 5. Each Party shall publish online, preferably on a single website: (a) any procedures, criteria and other conditions that it may use as a basis for determining whether conformity assessment bodies are competent to receive accreditation, approval, designation or other recognition, if applicable, including recognition granted pursuant to a mutual recognition agreement; and (b) a list of the bodies that it has approved, designated or otherwise recognised to perform such conformity assessment and relevant information on the scope of the approval, designation or other recognition of each body. 6. A Party may submit a substantiated request to the other Party to enter into negotiations to conclude a mutual recognition agreement on the mutual acceptance of the results of conformity assessment procedures for a particular sector. If the other Party refuses to enter into such negotiations, it shall explain the reasons for its decision. 7. Article 9.7 applies, mutatis mutandis, to conformity assessment procedures. & /en 186 8. If a Party requires a conformity assessment procedure, it shall: (a) select conformity assessment procedures proportionate to the risks involved as determined on the basis of a risk assessment; and (b) on request, provide information to the other Party on the criteria used for the conformity assessment procedures for specific products. 9. If a Party requires a third party conformity assessment procedure and it has not reserved this task to a specified governmental body as referred to in paragraph 4, it shall: (a) preferably use accreditation to qualify conformity assessment bodies; (b) make best use of international standards for accreditation and conformity assessment, as well as international agreements involving the Parties' accreditation bodies, for example, through the mechanisms of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF); (c) join or, as applicable, encourage its conformity assessment bodies to join any functioning international agreements or arrangements for harmonisation or facilitation of acceptance of conformity assessment results; & /en 187 (d) ensure that when more than one conformity assessment body has been designated for a particular product or set of products, economic operators have a choice amongst them to carry out the conformity assessment procedure; (e) ensure that there are no conflicts of interest between accreditation bodies and conformity assessment bodies; and (f) allow conformity assessment bodies to rely on testing or inspections carried out by conformity assessment bodies within the territory of the other Party in relation to the conformity assessment. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed as prohibiting a Party from requiring those conformity assessment bodies within the territory of the other Party to meet the same requirements that its own conformity assessment body is required to meet. ARTICLE 9.6 Transparency 1. In accordance with its respective rules and procedures and without prejudice to Chapter 28 (Good Regulatory Practices), when developing technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures, which may have a significant effect on trade, each Party shall, except where urgent problems of safety, health, environmental protection or national security arise or threaten to arise: (a) allow persons of the other Party to participate in its public consultation process on terms no less favourable than those accorded to its own persons; and & /en 188 (b) make the results of the consultation process public on an official website. 2.

Each Party shall ensure that any document laying down a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure contains sufficient detail to adequately inform interested persons and the other Party about whether and how their trade interests might be affected. 5. Each Party shall publish online, preferably on a single website or official gazette, all proposals for new or amended technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures of central and sub-central levels of government, and their final versions, which a Party is required to notify or publish in accordance with the TBT Agreement.26 6. Each Party shall ensure that its adopted technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures are published on a website free of charge. 26 For greater certainty, a Party may comply with this obligation by ensuring that the proposed measures and their final versions are published on, or otherwise accessible through, the WTO's official website. & /en 189 7. Each Party shall publish proposals for new technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures that are in accordance with the technical content of relevant international standards, guides or recommendations, if any, and that may have a significant effect on trade, except in the cases provided for in Articles 2.10 and 5.7 of the TBT Agreement. 8. Each Party shall endeavour to publish proposals for new technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures of sub-central or local governments, as the case may be, that are in accordance with the technical content of relevant international standards, guides and recommendations, if any, and that may have a significant effect on trade, in accordance with the procedures set out in Articles 2.9 or 5.6 of the TBT Agreement. 9. For the purposes of determining whether a proposed technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure may have a significant effect on trade and must thus be notified in accordance with the relevant provisions of the TBT Agreement which are incorporated in this Agreement pursuant to Article 9.3, a Party shall consider, among others, the relevant Decisions and Recommendations adopted by the WTO Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade since 1 January 1995, as referred to in Article 9.4.2. 10. Each Party shall, on request of the other Party, provide information regarding the objectives of, legal basis and rationale for, a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure that the Party has adopted or is proposing to adopt. & /en 190 11.

A Party shall consider any reasonable request from the other Party to extend the comment period. A Party that is able to extend the comment period beyond 60 days, for example to 90 days, is encouraged to do so. 12. Each Party shall endeavour to provide sufficient time between the end of the comment period and the adoption of the notified technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure, for its consideration of, and preparation of responses to, the comments received. 13. If a Party receives written comments on its proposed technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure from the other Party, it shall: (a) on request of the other Party, discuss the written comments with the participation of its competent regulatory authority at a time when those comments can be taken into account; and (b) reply in writing to the comments no later than the date of publication of the technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure. 14. Each Party shall publish on a website its responses to comments it receives, if possible no later than the date of publication of the adopted technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure. & /en 191 15. Each Party shall notify the final text of a technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure at the time the text is adopted or published, as an addendum to the original notification of the proposed measure notified under Articles 2.9, 3.2, 5.6 or 7.2 of the TBT Agreement. 16. No later than the date of publication of a final technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure that may have a significant effect on trade, each Party shall make publicly available online: (a) an explanation of the objectives and of how the final technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure achieves them; and (b) the results of the impact assessment provided for in Article 9.7, if carried out, in accordance with its rules and procedures. 17. For the purposes of Articles 2.12 and 5.9 of the TBT Agreement, "reasonable interval" means normally a period of not less than six months, except when this would be ineffective for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued. 18. Each Party shall endeavour to provide an interval of more than six months between the publication of final technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures and their entry into force, except when this would be ineffective for the fulfilment of the legitimate objectives pursued. & /en 192 ARTICLE 9.7 Technical Regulations 1. Each Party shall carry out, in accordance with its respective rules and procedures, a regulatory impact assessment of planned technical regulations. 2. Each Party shall assess the available regulatory and non-regulatory alternatives to a proposed technical regulation that may fulfil the Party's legitimate objectives, in accordance with Article 2.2 of the TBT Agreement. 3. If a Party has not used international standards as a basis for its technical regulations, a Party shall, on request of the other Party, identify any substantial deviation from the relevant international standards and explain the reasons why those standards have been judged inappropriate or ineffective for the objective pursued, and provide the scientific or technical evidence on which this assessment is based. 4. In addition to Article 2.3 of the TBT Agreement, each Party shall review technical regulations with a view to increasing their convergence with relevant international standards. Each Party shall take into account, among others, any new development in the relevant international standards and whether the circumstances that have given rise to divergences from any relevant international standard continue to exist. & /en 193 ARTICLE 9.8 Regulatory Cooperation 1. The Parties recognise that a broad range of regulatory cooperation mechanisms exist that can help to eliminate or avoid the creation of technical barriers to trade. 2. A Party may propose to the other Party sector specific regulatory cooperation activities in areas covered by this Chapter. Those proposals shall be transmitted to the contact point designated pursuant to Article 9.11 and shall consist of: (a) information exchanges on regulatory approaches and practices; (b) initiatives to further align technical regulations and conformity assessment procedures with relevant international standards; or (c) technical advice and assistance on mutually agreed terms and conditions to improve practices related to the development, implementation and review of technical regulations, standards and conformity assessment procedures and metrology.

The Parties shall encourage cooperation between their respective organisations responsible for standardisation, conformity assessment, accreditation and metrology, whether they are public or private, on issues covered by this Chapter. 4. Nothing in this Article shall be construed as requiring a Party to: (a) deviate from domestic procedures for preparing and adopting regulatory measures; (b) take actions that would undermine or impede the timely adoption of regulatory measures to achieve its public policy objectives; or (c) achieve any particular regulatory outcome. ARTICLE 9.9 Marking and Labelling 1. For the purposes of this Article and in accordance with paragraph 1 of Annex 1 to the TBT Agreement, a technical regulation may include or deal exclusively with the requirements of marking and labelling applied to a product, process or production method. & /en 195 2. The Parties affirm that their technical regulations that include or deal exclusively with marking or labelling comply with Article 2 of the TBT Agreement. 3. If a Party requires mandatory marking or labelling of products, that Party shall: (a) endeavour to only require information which is relevant for consumers or users of the product or for indicating the product's conformity with the mandatory technical requirements; (b) not require any prior approval, registration or certification of the labels or markings of products, or the payment of any fee, as a precondition for placing on its market products that otherwise comply with its mandatory technical requirements, unless it is necessary in view of the risk of the products to human, animal or plant life or health, the environment or national security; (c) if the Party requires the use of a unique identification number by economic operators, issue that number to the economic operators of the other Party without undue delay and on a non- discriminatory basis; (d) provided it is not misleading, contradictory or confusing in relation to the information required in the importing Party of the goods, permit the following: (i) information in other languages in addition to the language required in the importing Party of the goods; & /en 196 (ii) internationally accepted nomenclatures, pictograms, symbols or graphics; and (iii) additional information to that required in the importing Party of the goods; (e) accept that labelling, including supplementary labelling and corrections to labelling, takes place after importation but prior to offering the product for sale, as an alternative to labelling at the place of origin, unless such labelling must be carried out at the place of origin for reasons of public health or safety or due to a requirement related to a geographical indication of the exporting Party; and (f) endeavour to accept non-permanent or detachable labels, or the inclusion of relevant information for marking or labelling in the accompanying documentation, rather than in labels physically attached to the product, unless such labelling is required for reasons of public health or safety. ARTICLE 9.10 Information Exchange and Discussions 1. A Party may request the other Party to provide information on any matter covered by this Chapter. The other Party shall provide that information within a reasonable period of time. & /en 197 2. A Party may request the other Party to discuss any concern that arises under this Chapter, including any draft or proposed technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure of the other Party, if it considers that the technical regulation or conformity assessment procedure might have a significant adverse effect on trade between the Parties. The request shall be in writing and identify: (a) the concern; (b) the provisions of this Chapter to which the concern relates; and (c) the reasons for the request, including a description of the requesting Party's concern. 3. For greater certainty, a Party may also request the other Party to discuss any concern that arises under this Chapter with respect to technical regulations or conformity assessment procedures of regional or local governments, as the case may be, on the level directly below that of the central government, and that may have a significant effect on trade. 4. The Parties shall discuss the concern raised within 60 days after the date of the request in person or by video or teleconference and shall endeavour to resolve the concern as expeditiously as possible. If the requesting Party considers that the concern is urgent, it may request that any discussions take place within a shorter timeframe. The responding Party shall give positive consideration to that request. The Parties shall make every attempt to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution of the matter. & /en 198 5. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the discussions and any information exchanged in the course of the discussions shall be without prejudice to the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, the WTO Agreement or any other agreement to which both Parties are party. 6. Requests for information or discussions shall be submitted through the respective contact point designated pursuant to Article 9.11. ARTICLE 9.11 Contact Points 1.

The substantive provisions in other international agreements do not in themselves constitute treatment as referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, and thus cannot give rise to a breach of this Article. Measures applied pursuant to such provisions may constitute treatment under this Article. ARTICLE 10.9 Performance Requirements 1. A Party shall not, in connection with the establishment or the operation of an enterprise of an investor of a Party or of a third country in the territory of that Party, impose or enforce any requirement or enforce any commitment or undertaking to:36 (a) export a given level or percentage of goods or services; 36 For greater certainty, a condition for the receipt or continued receipt of an advantage referred to in paragraph 2 does not constitute a "commitment or undertaking" for the purposes of paragraph 1. & /en 212 (b) achieve a given level or percentage of domestic content; (c) purchase, use or accord a preference to goods produced or services provided in its territory, or to purchase goods or services from natural persons or enterprises in its territory; (d) relate in any way the volume or value of imports to the volume or value of exports or to the amount of foreign exchange inflows associated with such enterprise; (e) restrict sales of goods or services in its territory that such enterprise produces or supplies by relating those sales in any way to the volume or value of its exports or foreign exchange earnings; (f) provide access to or transfer a particular technology, a production process or other proprietary knowledge to a natural person or enterprise in its territory; (g) supply exclusively from the territory of the Party to a specific regional or the world market, goods or services that such enterprise produces; (h) locate the headquarters of that enterprise for a specific regional or the world market in its territory; or (k) restrict the exportation or sale for export. & /en 213 2.

A procuring entity shall not prescribe technical specifications that require or refer to a particular trademark or trade name, patent, copyright, design, type, specific origin, producer or supplier, unless there is no other sufficiently precise or intelligible way of describing the procurement requirements and provided that the procuring entity includes words such as "or equivalent" in the tender documentation. & /en 389 5. A procuring entity shall not seek or accept, in a manner that would have the effect of precluding competition, advice that may be used in the preparation or adoption of any technical specification for a specific procurement from a person that may have a commercial interest in the procurement. 6. A Party may allow its procuring entities to take into account environmental and social considerations, provided they are non-discriminatory and they are linked to the subject matter of the contract. 7. For greater certainty, a Party, including its procuring entities, may, in accordance with this Article, prepare, adopt or apply technical specifications to promote the conservation of natural resources or protect the environment. Tender Documentation 8. A procuring entity shall make available to suppliers tender documentation that includes all information necessary to permit suppliers to prepare and submit responsive tenders. Unless already provided in the notice of intended procurement, such documentation shall include a complete description of: (a) the procurement, including the nature and the quantity of the goods or services to be procured or, if the quantity is not known, the estimated quantity and any requirements to be fulfilled, including any technical specifications, conformity assessment certification, plans, drawings or instructional materials; & /en 390 (b) any conditions for participation of suppliers, including a list of information and documents that suppliers are required to submit in connection with the conditions for participation; (c) all evaluation criteria the procuring entity will apply in the awarding of the contract and, unless price is the sole criterion, the relative importance of those criteria; (d) if the procuring entity will conduct the procurement by electronic means, any authentication and encryption requirements or other requirements related to the submission of information by electronic means; (e) if the procuring entity will hold an electronic auction, the rules, including identification of the elements of the tender related to the evaluation criteria, on which the auction will be conducted; (f) if there will be a public opening of tenders, the date, time and place for the opening and, if appropriate, the persons authorised to be present; (g) any other terms or conditions, including terms of payment and any limitation on the means by which tenders may be submitted, such as whether on paper or by electronic means; and (h) any dates for the delivery of goods or the supply of services. & /en 391 9.

A procuring entity shall promptly: (a) make available tender documentation to ensure that interested suppliers have sufficient time to submit responsive tenders; (b) provide, on request, the tender documentation to any interested supplier; and (c) reply to any reasonable request for relevant information by any interested or participating supplier, provided that such information does not give that supplier an advantage over other suppliers. & /en 392 Modifications 12. If procuring entity, prior to the award of a contract, modifies the criteria or requirements set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation provided to participating suppliers, or amends or reissues a notice or tender documentation, it shall transmit in writing all such modifications or amended or re-issued notice or tender documentation: (a) to all suppliers that are participating at the time of the modification, amendment or re-issuance, if those suppliers are known to the procuring entity, and in all other cases, in the same manner as the original information was made available; and (b) in adequate time to allow those suppliers to modify and re-submit amended tenders, as appropriate. ARTICLE 21.10 Time Periods 1.

The time periods, including any extension thereof, shall be the same for all interested or participating suppliers. 2. A procuring entity that uses selective tendering shall establish that the final date for the submission of requests for participation shall not, in principle, be less than 25 days from the date of publication of the notice of intended procurement. If 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 10 days. 3. Except as provided for in paragraphs 4, 5, 7 and 8, a procuring entity shall establish that the final date for the submission of tenders shall not be less than 40 days from the date on which: (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. & /en 394 4.

The use of paragraph 5, in conjunction with paragraph 4, shall in no case result in the reduction of the time period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to less than 10 days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement is published. 7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, if a procuring entity purchases commercial goods or services, or any combination thereof, it may reduce the time period for tendering established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 13 days, provided that it publishes by electronic means, at the same time, both the notice of intended procurement and the tender documentation. In addition, if the procuring entity accepts tenders for commercial goods or services by electronic means, it may reduce the time period established in accordance with paragraph 3 to not less than 10 days. & /en 396 8.

In the absence of agreement, the time period shall not be less than 10 days. ARTICLE 21.11 Negotiation 1. A Party may provide for its procuring entities to conduct negotiations with suppliers if: (a) the procuring entity has indicated its intent to conduct negotiations in the notice of intended procurement required pursuant to Article 21.6.2; or (b) it appears from the evaluation that no tender is obviously the most advantageous in terms of the specific evaluation criteria set out in the notice of intended procurement or tender documentation. & /en 397 2.

A procuring entity shall receive, open and treat all tenders under procedures that guarantee the fairness and impartiality of the procurement process, and the confidentiality of tenders. 2. If 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. Awarding of Contracts 3. To be considered for an award, a tender shall be submitted in writing and shall, at the time of opening, comply with the essential requirements set out in the notices and tender documentation and be from a supplier that satisfies the conditions for participation. & /en 403 4. Unless a procuring entity determines that it is not in the public interest to award a contract, it shall award the contract to the supplier that the procuring entity has determined to be capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract and that, based solely on the evaluation criteria specified in the notices and tender documentation, has submitted: (a) the most advantageous tender; or (b) if price is the sole criterion, the lowest price. 5. If 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 the supplier satisfies the conditions for participation and is capable of fulfilling the terms of the contract. 6. A procuring entity shall not use options, cancel a procurement or modify awarded contracts in a manner that circumvents the obligations under this Chapter. 7. Each Party may provide, as a general rule, for a standstill period between the award and the conclusion of a contract in order to give sufficient time to unsuccessful bidders to review and challenge the award decision. & /en 404 ARTICLE 21.15 Transparency of Procurement Information Information Provided to Suppliers 1.

To the extent that such information is available, each Party shall provide statistics on the country of origin of products and services purchased by its procuring entities. With a view to ensuring that such statistics are comparable, the Sub-Committee on Public Procurement established pursuant to Article 21.19 shall provide guidance on the methods to be used. With a view to ensuring effective monitoring of procurements covered by this Chapter, the Trade Council may decide to modify the requirements set out in paragraph 4. 6. If a Party requires notices concerning awarded contracts to be published electronically, pursuant to paragraph 2, and if such notices are accessible to the public through a single database in a form permitting analysis of the awarded contracts, the Party may, instead of reporting to the Sub- Committee on Public Procurement, provide a link to the website, together with any instructions necessary to access and use such data. 65 The first exchange of information shall take place one year after the entry into force of this Agreement. & /en 407 ARTICLE 21.16 Disclosure of information Provision of Information to Parties 1. On request of the other Party, a Party shall provide promptly any information necessary to determine whether a covered procurement was conducted fairly, impartially and in accordance with this Chapter, including information on the characteristics and relative advantages of the successful tender. The Party that receives the information shall not disclose that information to any supplier if this would prejudice competition in future tenders, except after obtaining the consent of the Party that provided the information. Non-Disclosure of Information 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter, a Party, including its procuring entities, shall not provide to any 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 if such disclosure: (a) would impede law enforcement; & /en 408 (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 21.17 Domestic Review Procedures 1. Each Party shall provide a timely, effective, transparent and non-discriminatory administrative or judicial review procedure through which, in the context of a covered procurement in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest, a supplier may challenge: (a) a breach of this Chapter; or (b) if the supplier does not have a right to challenge directly a breach of this Chapter under the law of a Party, a failure to comply with a Party's measures implementing this Chapter. The procedural rules for all challenges shall be in writing and made generally available. & /en 409 2. In case of a complaint by a supplier, arising in the context of covered procurement in which the supplier has, or has had, an interest, that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1, the Party of the procuring entity conducting the covered 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 ongoing or future procurement or 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 10 days from the time when the basis of the challenge became known 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 to receive and review a challenge by a supplier arising in the context of a covered procurement. 5. If a body other than an authority referred to in paragraph 4 initially reviews a challenge, the 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. & /en 410 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 a decision of the review body being made 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. & /en 411 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. Those 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. Any justification for not acting shall be provided in writing. 8. Each Party shall adopt or maintain procedures that provide for corrective action or compensation for the loss or damages suffered if a review body has determined that there has been a breach or a failure as referred to in paragraph 1. The compensation for the loss or damages suffered may be limited to either the costs for the preparation of the tender or the costs relating to the challenge, or both. ARTICLE 21.18 Modifications and Rectifications to Coverage 1. The European Union may modify or rectify Annex 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) and Mexico may modify or rectify Annex 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico). & /en 412 Modifications 2.

Notwithstanding subparagraph 2(b), a Party does not need to provide compensatory adjustments if the modification covers a procuring entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence. Government control or influence over the covered procurement of procuring entities covered under Section C of Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union), or under Sub-list 2 of each State of Section B or Section C of Annex 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico) is presumed to be effectively eliminated if the procuring entity is exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. 4. The other Party may object to the proposed modification, notified pursuant to paragraph 2, if it disputes that: (a) an adjustment proposed in accordance with subparagraph 2(b) is adequate to maintain a comparable level to the existing coverage provided for in this Chapter; & /en 413 (b) the modification covers a procuring entity over which the Party has effectively eliminated its control or influence in accordance with paragraph 3. The objection shall be made in writing within 45 days of receipt of the notification referred to in subparagraph 2(a) or that Party shall be deemed to have accepted the adjustment or modification, including for the purposes of Chapter 31 (Dispute Settlement). Rectifications 5. The following changes to Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico) shall be considered a rectification of a purely formal nature, provided that they do not affect the existing coverage provided for in this Chapter: (a) a change in the name of a procuring entity; (b) a merger of two or more entities covered under Section A to C of Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico); and (c) the separation of an entity covered under Section A to C of Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico) into two or more entities that are all added to the procuring entities covered under the same Section of Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico). & /en 414 6. Each Party shall notify the other Party every three years following the entry into force of this Agreement of proposed rectifications to Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico). 7. A Party may notify the other Party of an objection to a proposed rectification within 45 days from having received the notification. If a Party submits an objection, it shall explain why it considers the proposed rectification is not a change provided for in paragraph 5, and describe the effect of the proposed rectification on the coverage provided for in this Chapter. If no objection is submitted in writing within 45 days after the date of receipt of the notification, the other Party shall be deemed to have accepted the proposed rectification. Consultations and Dispute resolution. 8. If the other Party objects to the proposed modification or rectification, the Parties shall seek to resolve the issue through consultations. If no agreement is found within 60 days after the date of receipt of the objection, the Party seeking to modify or rectify Annex 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) or Annex 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico) may refer the matter to dispute settlement under Chapter 31 (Dispute Settlement). The proposed modification or rectification shall take effect only when both Parties have agreed or if so provided for in the ruling of a panel in a final report in accordance with Article 31.14 (Final Report). & /en 415 ARTICLE 21.19 Sub-Committee on Public Procurement The Sub-Committee on Public Procurement established pursuant to Article 33.4.1(j) (Sub-Committees and other Bodies) shall address matters related to the implementation and operation of this Chapter, such as: (a) the modification of Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) and 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico); (b) the preparation for the Trade Council of the decisions modifying Annexes 21-A (Covered Procurement of the European Union) and 21-B (Covered Procurement of Mexico); (c) matters regarding government procurement related to this Chapter that are referred to it by a Party; and (d) any other matter related to the operation of this Chapter. & /en 416 CHAPTER 22 STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES, ENTERPRISES GRANTED SPECIAL RIGHTS OR PRIVILEGES AND DESIGNATED MONOPOLIES ARTICLE 22.1 Definitions For the purposes of this Chapter: (a) "Arrangement" means the Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits, developed within the framework of the OECD or a successor undertaking, whether developed within or outside of the OECD framework, that has been adopted by at least 12 original WTO Members that were Participants to the Arrangement as of 1 January 1979; (b) "commercial activities" means activities the end result of which is the production of a good or supply of a service, which will be sold in the relevant market in quantities and at prices determined by an enterprise through the conditions of supply and demand, and are undertaken with an orientation towards profit-making66; 66 For greater certainty, this excludes activities undertaken by an enterprise: (a) which operates on a not-for-profit basis; or (b) which operates on a cost recovery basis. & /en 417 (c) "commercial considerations" means price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation and other terms and conditions of purchase or sale; or other factors that would normally be taken into account in the commercial decisions of a private enterprise operating according to market economy principles in the relevant business or industry; (d) "designate" means to establish or authorise a monopoly, or to expand the scope of a monopoly to cover an additional good or service; (e) "designated monopoly" means an entity, public or private, including a consortium or a government agency, that in any relevant market in the territory of a Party is designated as the sole supplier or purchaser of a good or service, but does not include an entity that has been granted an exclusive intellectual property right solely by reason of the grant;67 (f) "enterprise granted special rights or privileges" means an enterprise, public or private, including a subsidiary, to which a Party has granted special rights or privileges, in law or in fact; special rights or privileges arise if a Party designates, or limits the number of, enterprises authorised to supply a good or a service according to criteria that are not objective, proportional and non-discriminatory, thereby substantially affecting the ability of any other enterprise to supply the same good or service in the same geographical area under substantially equivalent conditions; 67 For greater certainty, this Chapter does not apply to natural monopolies unless they are designated within the meaning of subparagraph 1(d). & /en 418 (g) "financial institution" and "financial service", have the same meaning as in Article 18.1 (Definitions); (h) "service supplied in the exercise of governmental authority" means a service supplied in the exercise of governmental authority as defined in GATS and, if applicable, the Annex on Financial Services to GATS;68 (i) "state-owned enterprise" means an enterprise owned or controlled by a Party69.

Depending on the progress of those discussions, the Trade Council may adopt a decision to adapt this Agreement in this respect. & /en 443 ARTICLE 24.2 General Principles The Parties recognise that subsidies may be granted when they are necessary to achieve a public policy objective. The Parties acknowledge, however, that certain subsidies have the potential to distort the proper functioning of markets and undermine the benefits of the liberalisation of trade and investment. In principle, a Party should not grant subsidies to enterprises providing goods or services if they negatively affect, or are likely to negatively affect, trade or investment. ARTICLE 24.3 Scope 1. This Chapter applies to subsidies to all enterprises pursuing an economic activity. If an enterprise combines economic and non-economic activities, this Chapter only applies to the economic activities of that enterprise. & /en 444 2.

Notwithstanding the legal protection provided for in paragraph 1, in the absence of voluntary measures taken by the right holders, each Party may take appropriate measures, as necessary, to ensure that the adequate legal protection against the circumvention of effective technological measures provided for in accordance with this Article does not prevent beneficiaries from enjoying exceptions and limitations provided for in accordance with Article 25.14. & /en 470 ARTICLE 25.16 Obligations Concerning Rights Management Information 1. Each Party shall provide adequate legal protection against any person knowingly performing, without authority, any of the following acts, if such person knows, or has reasonable grounds to know, that by so doing he or she is inducing, enabling, facilitating or concealing an infringement of any copyright or any related rights: (a) the removal or alteration of any electronic rights-management information; or (b) the distribution, importation for distribution, broadcasting, communication or making available to the public of works or other subject-matter protected under this Sub-Section from which electronic rights-management information has been removed or altered without authorisation. 2.

A registered trademark shall confer on the proprietor exclusive rights therein. The proprietor shall be entitled to prevent all third parties not having his consent from using in the course of trade: (a) any sign which is identical to the trademark in relation to goods or services which are identical to those for which the trademark is registered; and (b) any sign where, because of its identity with, or similarity to, the trademark and the identity or similarity of the goods or services covered by the trademark and the sign, there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public, which includes the likelihood of association between the sign and the trademark. & /en 474 2. The proprietor of a registered trademark shall be entitled to prevent all third parties from bringing, in the course of trade, goods into the territory of the Party where the trademark is registered without being released for free circulation there, if such goods, including packaging, come from third countries and bear without authorisation a trademark which is identical to the trademark registered in respect of such goods, or which cannot be distinguished in its essential aspects from that trademark.97 ARTICLE 25.20 Well-known Trademarks For the purposes of giving effect to the protection of well-known trademarks, as referred to in Article 6bis of the Paris Convention and paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 16 of the TRIPS Agreement, each Party shall apply the Joint Recommendation Concerning Provisions on the Protection of Well-Known Marks adopted by the Assembly of the Paris Union for the Protection of Industrial Property and the General Assembly of the WIPO at the Thirty-Fourth Series of Meetings of the Assemblies of the Member States of WIPO on 20 to 29 September 1999. 97 A Party may provide that the entitlement of the proprietor of the trademark shall lapse if, during the proceedings to determine whether there was a breach of the registered trademark, evidence is provided by the declarant or the holder of the goods that the proprietor of the registered trademark is not entitled to prohibit the placing of the goods on the market in the country of final destination. & /en 475 ARTICLE 25.21 Bad Faith Applications Each Party may provide that a trademark shall not be registered if the application for registration of the trademark was made in bad faith by the applicant.

A Party may further decide to disregard the commencement or resumption of use just before the filing of the cancellation request. & /en 476 2. A trademark shall also be liable to cancellation if, after the date on which it was registered, in consequence of acts or inactivity of the proprietor, it has become the common name in the trade for a product or service in respect of which it is registered. 3. A trademark shall also be liable to cancellation, if it was registered despite being capable to deceive the public as to the nature, quality or geographical origin of the goods or services for which it was registered.100 ARTICLE 25.23 Exceptions to the Rights Conferred by a Trademark Each Party: (a) shall provide for the fair use of descriptive terms101 as a limited exception to the rights conferred by trademarks; and 100 For greater certainty, a Party may also cancel a trademark if, as a consequence of the use made of it by the proprietor of the trademark or with his consent in respect of the goods or services for which it is registered, it is liable to mislead the public. 101 The fair use of descriptive terms includes the use of a sign to indicate the geographic origin of the goods or services, where such use is in accordance with honest practices in industrial or commercial matters. & /en 477 (b) may provide for other limited exceptions, provided that these exceptions take account of the legitimate interests of the owners of the trademarks and of third parties. SUB-SECTION B.3 Industrial Designs ARTICLE 25.24 International Agreements Each Party shall make all reasonable efforts to accede to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs adopted at Geneva on 2 July 1999. & /en 478 ARTICLE 25.25 Protection of Registered Industrial Designs 1. Each Party shall provide for the protection of independently created industrial designs that are new or original.102 This protection shall be provided by registration and shall confer an exclusive right upon their holders in accordance with this Sub-Section. 2. The holder of a registered industrial design shall have the right to prevent third parties not having the holder's consent at least from using and notably making, offering for sale, selling, putting on the market or importing a product or using articles bearing or embodying the protected industrial design if such acts are undertaken for commercial purposes, unduly prejudice the normal exploitation of the industrial design, or are not compatible with fair trade practice. 3. An industrial design applied to or incorporated in a product which constitutes a component part of a complex product shall only be considered to be new or original: (a) if the component part, once it has been incorporated into the complex product, remains visible during normal use of the latter; and (b) to the extent that those visible features of the component part fulfil in themselves the requirements as to novelty or originality. 102 If the law of a Party so provides, individual character of industrial designs may also be required. & /en 479 4. "Normal use" referred to in subparagraph 3(a) means use by the end user, excluding maintenance, servicing or repair work. ARTICLE 25.26 Term of Protection The term of protection shall be determined by each Party and may be renewable for one or more periods of five years each, up to a total term of protection of 25 years from the date of filing the application. ARTICLE 25.27 Exceptions and Exclusions 1. Each Party may provide limited exceptions to the protection of industrial designs, provided that such exceptions do not unreasonably conflict with the normal exploitation of protected industrial designs and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the holder of the protected industrial design, taking account of the legitimate interests of third parties. & /en 480 2. Industrial design protection shall not extend to designs dictated essentially by technical or functional considerations. In particular, an industrial design shall not be protected if it consists of features of appearance of a product which must necessarily be reproduced in their exact form and dimensions in order to permit the product, in which the industrial design is incorporated or to which it is applied, to be mechanically connected to, or placed in, around or in contact with another product so that either product may perform its function. 3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, an industrial design right may subsist in an industrial design, which has the purpose of allowing the multiple assembly or connection of mutually interchangeable products within a modular system. ARTICLE 25.28 Relation to Copyright An industrial design shall also be eligible for protection under the law of copyright of a Party as from the date on which the industrial design was created or fixed in any form.

This Sub-Section applies to the recognition and protection of geographical indications identifying goods falling within the relevant product class and listed in Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications). & /en 483 2. The Parties shall consider extending the scope of geographical indications covered by this Sub-Section to geographical indications in product classes other than food and agricultural goods. For that reason, the Parties have included in Annex 25-C (Geographical Indications of Mexico as Referred to in Article 25.31.2) names identifying goods originating and protected in their territory that, provided the scope of protection of this Agreement is extended, will be considered to be included under the scope of protection of this Agreement subject to the conclusion of the procedures set out in this Sub-Section.103 ARTICLE 25.32 Listed Geographical Indications For the purposes of this Sub-Section the geographical indications listed in: (a) Section A of Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) are geographical indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of the European Union or a region or locality in that territory; and 103 The Parties recognise that, for the purpose of assessment of trademark applications, insofar as this is relevant under the law of a Party, those names are protected in the country of origin. & /en 484 (b) Section B of Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) are geographical indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of Mexico or a region or locality in that territory.

Each Party shall provide the protection referred to in subparagraph 1(a) even where the true origin of the good is indicated, or the geographical indication is used in translation or the geographical indication is accompanied by expressions such as "kind", "type", "style", "imitation" or the like. 3. Each Party shall provide for enforcement, by administrative action and in the form provided for by its law, against: (a) any direct or indirect commercial use of a protected name; (b) any imitation, variation or deceiving use of a protected name; (c) any false or misleading indication of a protected name; or (d) any practice likely to mislead the consumer as to the true origin, provenance and nature of the good. & /en 487 4. The geographical indications protected under this Sub-Section shall not become generic in the territories of the Parties. 5. Nothing in this Sub-Section shall oblige a Party to protect a geographical indication of the other Party which is not or has ceased to be protected in the territory of the originating Party. Each Party shall notify the other Party if a geographical indication ceases to be protected in its territory. That notification shall take place within three months after the competent authority issues its final determination that the geographical indication has ceased to be protected. 6. The provisions of this Article shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the list of names in Annex I and Annex II to the Agreement between the European Community and the United Mexican States on the mutual recognition and protection for spirits drinks, done at Brussels on 27 May 1997, hereinafter referred to as the "Spirits Agreement". ARTICLE 25.35 Amendment of the List of Geographical Indications 1. The Trade Council, in accordance with Article 25.42, may decide to amend Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) by adding or correcting geographical indications, or by removing geographical indications which have ceased to be protected or have fallen into disuse in their place of origin. The Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property shall prepare those decisions. & /en 488 2. New geographical indications shall be added by a decision of the Trade Council after the names submitted have been considered and an opposition procedure as referred to in Article 25.33 has been completed. 3. The Trade Council may modify by a decision Annexes I and II to the Spirits Agreement, following the procedure referred to in Article 25.33 in the case of new geographical indications. ARTICLE 25.36 Right of Use of Geographical Indications 1. A geographical indication protected under this Sub-Section may be used by any operator marketing a good which conforms to the corresponding technical specification. 2. Once a geographical indication is protected under this Sub-Section, the use of that protected geographical indication shall not be subject to any registration of users or other requirements. 3. Indications, abbreviations and symbols referring to a geographical indication may only be used in relation to the good protected or registered in the respective territory and produced in conformity with the corresponding technical specification. & /en 489 ARTICLE 25.37 Relation between Trademarks and Geographical Indications 1. This Sub-Section shall be without prejudice to the rights conferred by a prior trademark applied for or registered in good faith, or acquired through use in good faith, in a Party. As a limited exception to the rights conferred by a trademark, in certain circumstances a prior trademark may not entitle its owner to prevent a registered geographical indication from being granted protection or being used in the Party in which the trademark is applied for, registered or used. The protection of the registered geographical indication shall not limit in any other way the rights conferred by that trademark, including the possibility to request renewals or variations of a distinctive sign provided that the variation does not constitute an act of unfair competition. 2. A Party shall not be required to protect a name as a geographical indication pursuant to Article 25.34 if, in light of a trademark's reputation and renown and the length of time it has been used, that name is likely to mislead the consumer as to the true identity of the good. 3. Subject to Article 25.39 and building upon paragraph 3 of Article 22 of the TRIPS Agreement, in respect of geographical indications listed in Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) and remaining protected as geographical indications by the Party of origin, a Party shall refuse or invalidate ex officio, if permitted by its law or at the request of an interested party, the registration of a trademark, provided that: (a) the registration of the trademark for goods would be inconsistent with Article 25.34; & /en 490 (b) the trademark relates to the same or a similar good; (c) the trademark relates to goods not having the origin of the geographical indication concerned; and (d) the application to register the trademark is submitted after the date of submission of the application for protection of the geographical indication in the territory of the Party concerned. 4.

For geographical indications referred to in Article 25.35, the date of submission of the application for protection shall be the date of the publication of the geographical indication in the opposition procedure. 6. Protection provided to the geographical indications listed in Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) shall commence no earlier than the date on which this Agreement enters into force. & /en 491 ARTICLE 25.38 Enforcement of Protection Each Party shall enforce the protection provided for in Articles 25.34 to 25.37 by appropriate administrative or judicial procedures, in accordance with their law and practice. The competent authorities shall enforce that protection in any or both of the following ways: (a) on their own initiative; or (b) on request of an interested party. ARTICLE 25.39 General Rules 1. A Party shall not be required to protect a name as a geographical indication under this Sub-Section if that name conflicts with the name of a plant variety or an animal breed and as a result is likely to mislead the consumer as to the true origin of the good. & /en 492 2. A homonymous name which is likely to mislead the consumer into believing that a good comes from another territory shall not be registered as a geographical indication even if the name is accurate as far as the actual territory, region or locality of origin of the good is concerned. Without prejudice to Article 23 of the TRIPS Agreement, the Parties shall jointly decide the practical conditions under which wholly or partially homonymous geographical indications will be differentiated from each other, taking into account the need to ensure equitable treatment of the producers concerned and that consumers are not misled. 3. If a Party, in the context of bilateral negotiations with a third country, proposes to protect a geographical indication of that third country which is wholly or partially homonymous with a geographical indication of the other Party, it shall inform the other Party, which shall be given the opportunity to comment before that name is protected. 4. A technical specification referred to in this Sub-Section shall be approved, including any amendments, by the authorities of the Party in the territory from which the good originates. & /en 493 ARTICLE 25.40 Exceptions 1. Nothing in this Sub-Section shall require a Party to apply its provisions in respect of a geographical indication, or an individual name contained in a multi-component 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. 2. If a translation of a geographical indication is identical to or contains a term customary in common language as the common name for a good in the territory of a Party, or if a geographical indication is not identical to but contains that term, this Sub-Section shall be without prejudice to the right of any person to use that term in association with that good in the territory of that Party. 3. In determining whether a term is the term customary in common language as the common name for a good in the territory of a Party, that Party's authorities shall have the authority to take into account how consumers understand that term in its territory. Factors relevant to that consumer understanding may include: (a) whether the term is used to refer to the type of good in question, as indicated by competent sources such as dictionaries, newspapers and relevant websites; and & /en 494 (b) how the good referenced by the term is marketed and used in trade in the territory of that Party.105 4. Nothing in this Sub-Section shall prevent the use in the territory of a Party, with respect to any good, of a customary name of a plant variety or an animal breed, existing in the territory of that Party as of the date of entry into force of this Agreement. 5. Nothing in this Agreement 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. ARTICLE 25.41 Incorporation of Existing Agreement 1. The Spirits Agreement is incorporated into and made part of this Agreement, and applies mutatis mutandis.106 105 For the purposes of this subparagraph, the authorities of a Party may take into account, as appropriate, whether the term is used in relevant international standards recognised by the Party to refer to a type or class of good in the territory of the Party. 106 For greater certainty, this includes all past and future amendments of the Spirits Agreement. & /en 495 2. The Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property established by Article 33.4.1(k) (Sub-Committees and Other Bodies) shall replace the Joint Committee established by Article 17 of the Spirits Agreement and fulfil the functions set out in that Article.

The Parties shall notify each other if a geographical indication listed in Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) ceases to be protected in the territory of the Party concerned. Following such notification, the Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property shall prepare for the Trade Council the decision to modify Annex 25-B (List of Geographical Indications) in accordance with the procedures set out in this Agreement. 3. A Party may, either directly or through the Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property, request the other Party to provide information relating to technical specifications and their amendments. & /en 496 4. Each Party may make publicly available the technical specifications corresponding to the geographical indications of the other Party protected under this Sub-Section, in Spanish or English.107 5. Any matter arising from technical specifications of protected geographical indications shall be dealt with by the Sub-Committee on Intellectual Property. ARTICLE 25.43 Protection under the law of a Party This Sub-Section is without prejudice to the right of a holder of a geographical indication in one Party to seek recognition and protection of a geographical indication in the other Party under the law of that Party. 107 Mexico may make those technical specifications publicly available in Spanish or English. & /en 497 SUB-SECTION B.5 Patents ARTICLE 25.44 International Agreements Each Party shall adhere to the Patent Cooperation Treaty, done at Washington on 19 June 1970, as amended on 28 September 1979 and last modified on 3 October 2001, and recognise the importance of adopting or maintaining procedural standards consistent with the Patent Law Treaty, adopted in Geneva on 1 June 2000. ARTICLE 25.45 Patents and Public Health 1. The rights and obligations established in this Sub-Section do not and shall not prevent a Party from taking measures to protect public health. The Parties recognise the importance and affirm their commitment to the Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, adopted in Doha on 14 November 2001 (hereinafter referred to as "Doha Declaration"). In interpreting and implementing the rights and obligations under this Sub-Section, the Parties shall ensure consistency with the Doha Declaration. & /en 498 2.

ARTICLE 25.46 Supplementary Protection in Case of Delays in Marketing Approval for Pharmaceutical Products Including Biologic Products108 1. The Parties recognise that pharmaceutical products, including biologic products109, protected by a patent in their respective territory may be subject to an administrative approval110 procedure before being put on the market. They recognise that the period that elapses between the filing of the application for a patent and the approval to place the product on their respective market, as defined for that purpose by the relevant law of a Party, may shorten the period of effective protection under the patent. 108 Mexico shall implement the obligations provided for in this Article no later than two years after the entry into force of this Agreement. 109 Each Party shall determine which products fall under the terms "pharmaceutical products" and "biologic products" in accordance with its law in place on 21 April 2018. 110 For greater certainty, the term "marketing approval" is equivalent to the term "marketing authorisation". & /en 499 2. Each Party shall provide for an adequate and effective mechanism to compensate the patent owner for the reduction in the effective patent life resulting from unreasonable delays111 in the granting of the first marketing approval in its respective territory. Such compensation shall take the form of a supplementary sui generis protection, equal to the time by which the period of two years referred to in the footnote is exceeded. The maximum term of this supplementary protection shall not exceed five years.112 3. As an alternative to paragraph 2, a Party may make available an extension, not exceeding five years113, of the duration of the rights conferred by the patent protection to compensate the patent owner for the reduction in the effective patent life as a result of the marketing approval procedure. This extension of the duration shall take effect at the end of the lawful term of the patent for a period equal to the period which elapsed between the date on which the application for a patent was filed and the date of the first approval to place the product on the market in that Party, reduced by a period of five years. 111 For the purposes of this Article, an unreasonable delay includes at least a delay of more than two years in the first response to the applicant following the date of filing of the application for marketing approval. Any delays that occur in the granting of a marketing approval due to periods attributable to the applicant or any period that is out of control of the marketing approval authority need not be included in the determination of such delay. 112 If a Party complies with this paragraph, that Party is not obliged to comply with the alternative provided in paragraph 3. 113 This period can be extended for six months in the case of pharmaceutical products if paediatric studies have been carried out and the results of those studies are reflected in the product information. & /en 500 4. In implementing the obligations of this Article, each Party may determine conditions and limitations, provided that the Party continues to comply with this Article. 5. Each Party shall make best efforts to process applications for marketing approval of pharmaceutical products in an efficient and timely manner, with a view to avoiding unreasonable or unnecessary delays. With the objective of avoiding unreasonable delays, a Party may adopt or maintain procedures that expedite the processing of marketing approval application. SUB-SECTION B.6 Plant Varieties ARTICLE 25.47 International Agreements Each Party shall protect plant varieties rights, in accordance with the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants adopted in Paris on 2 December 1961, as lastly revised in Geneva on 19 March 1991, including the exceptions to the breeder's right as referred to in Article 15 of that Convention, and cooperate to promote and enforce these rights.114 114 Mexico shall implement this provision no later than four years after the date of entry into force of this Agreement. & /en 501 SUB-SECTION B.7 Protection of Undisclosed Information ARTICLE 25.48 Scope of Protection of Trade Secrets 1. In the course of ensuring effective protection against unfair competition as provided in Article 10bis of the Paris Convention, each Party shall provide the legal means, including administrative or civil judicial proceedings115, for any person to prevent trade secrets from being disclosed to, acquired by, or used by others without the consent of the person lawfully in control of the information in a manner contrary to honest commercial practices.116 For the purposes of this Sub-Section, trade secrets encompass undisclosed information as provided for in paragraph 2 of Article 39 of the TRIPS Agreement. 115 For greater certainty, a Party may provide those legal means through criminal procedures in accordance with its law. 116 A Party may consider not to apply these procedures if the conduct contrary to honest commercial practices is carried out, in accordance with its law, with a view to revealing misconduct, wrongdoing or an illegal activity or for the purpose of protecting a legitimate interest recognised by its law. & /en 502 2. For the purposes of this Sub-Section, a Party shall at least consider the following conduct to be contrary to honest commercial practices: (a) the acquisition of a trade secret without the consent of the trade secret holder, whenever carried out by unauthorised access to, appropriation of, or copying of any documents, objects, materials or electronic files, lawfully under the control of the trade secret holder, containing the trade secret or from which the trade secret can be deduced; or (b) the use or disclosure of a trade secret without the consent of the trade secret holder, whenever carried out by a person who acquired the trade secret unlawfully or in breach of a confidentiality agreement or of any other duty not to disclose the trade secret or to limit its use.117,118 117 For greater certainty, the criteria provided in the laws and regulations of each Party contain the breach of a duty to limit the use of a trade secret. 118 For greater certainty, the European Union considers that the following situations do not fall under paragraph 2: (a) independent discovery or creation by a person of the relevant information; (b) reverse engineering of a product by a person who is lawfully in possession of it and who is free from any legally valid duty to limit the acquisition of the relevant information; (c) acquisition, use or disclosure of information required or allowed by the law of a Party; (d) use by employees of their experience and skills honestly acquired in the normal course of their employment; or (e) disclosure of information in the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information. & /en 503 ARTICLE 25.49 Administrative or Civil Judicial Procedures of Trade Secrets 1. Each Party shall ensure that any person participating in the proceedings referred to in Article 25.48.1 or having access to documents which form part of those proceedings, is not permitted to use or disclose any trade secret or alleged trade secret which the competent authorities have, in response to a duly reasoned application by an interested party, identified as confidential and of which they have become aware as a result of such participation or access. 2. In the proceedings referred to in Article 25.48.1, each Party shall provide that its competent authorities have the authority at least to take specific measures to preserve the confidentiality of any trade secret or alleged trade secret produced in the proceedings. Such specific measures may include, in accordance with the law of each Party, the possibility of restricting access to certain documents in whole or in part, of restricting access to hearings and their corresponding records or transcript, and of making available a non-confidential version of judicial decisions in which the passages containing trade secrets have been removed or redacted. & /en 504 ARTICLE 25.50 Protection of Undisclosed Data Related to Pharmaceutical Products Including Biologic Products119 1. If a Party requires, as a condition for a marketing approval of new120 pharmaceutical products, including biologic products121, the submission of undisclosed test or other data of pre-clinical tests or clinical trials necessary to determine whether the use of those products is safe and effective, the Party shall protect those data against disclosure to third parties, if the origination of those data involves considerable effort, except where the disclosure is necessary for an overriding public interest or unless steps are taken to ensure that the data are protected against unfair commercial use. 119 Mexico shall implement this obligation no later than two years after the entry into force of this Agreement. 120 For the purposes of this Article, the term "new" implies that the products contain a new chemical entity that has not been previously approved in the territory of the Party or refers to a new biologic or biotechnological product that has not been previously approved in the territory of the Party. 121 Each Party shall determine which products fall under the terms "pharmaceutical products" and "biologic products" in accordance with its law in place on 21 April 2018. & /en 505 2. For pharmaceutical products, including biologic products, a Party shall not grant a marketing approval to third persons permitting them, without the consent of the person that previously submitted the data referred to in paragraph 1, to market the product122 on the basis of those data or the marketing approval granted to the person that submitted those data123, for at least six years from the date124 of the marketing approval of the new product in the territory of that Party.125 3. There shall be no limitation on either Party to implement abbreviated authorisation procedures for such products on the basis of bioequivalence and bioavailability studies. 122 For the purposes of this paragraph, a Party may provide that the term "product" refers to the same or a similar product. 123 For greater certainty, this includes data submitted for authorisations granted to the person that submitted such information in the territories of the Parties and of third countries. 124 For greater certainty, a Party may limit the period of protection under this paragraph to six years. 125 A Party may provide that, for biologic products, the protection of undisclosed data referred to in this Article applies only to the first marketing approval of the new biologic product. & /en 506 ARTICLE 25.51 Protection of Undisclosed Data Related to Plant Protection Products126 1. If a Party requires, as a condition for a marketing approval127 of a new128 plant protection product the submission of undisclosed test or other data concerning the safety or efficacy of the product129, the Party shall protect those data against disclosure to third parties, except where the disclosure is necessary for an overriding public interest or unless steps are taken to ensure that the data are protected against unfair commercial use. 126 Mexico shall implement this obligation no later than two years after the entry into force of this Agreement. 127 For purposes of this article, the term "marketing approval" is synonymous with "sanitary approval" under the law of a Party. 128 For purposes of this article, the term "new" implies that the product contains a new chemical entity that has not been previously approved in the territory of the Party. 129 For greater certainty, this Article applies to cases in which the Party requires the submission of undisclosed test or other data concerning only the safety of the product, only the efficacy of the product or both. & /en 507 2. For plant protection products, a Party shall not grant a marketing approval to third persons permitting them, without the consent of the person that previously submitted the data referred to in paragraph 1, to market the product on the basis of those data or the marketing approval granted to the person that submitted those data, for at least 10 years130 from the date of the marketing approval of the new product in the territory of that Party. 3. Each Party shall establish rules to avoid duplicative testing on vertebrate animals. 4. There shall be no limitation on either Party to implement abbreviated authorisation procedures for such products on the basis of equivalence studies. 130 For greater certainty, a Party may limit the period of protection pursuant to this Article to 10 years. & /en 508 SECTION C Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights SUB-SECTION C.1 General Provisions ARTICLE 25.52 General Obligations 1. The Parties affirm their commitments under the TRIPS Agreement and in particular Part III thereof. Each Party shall provide for the complementary measures, procedures and remedies under this Section, which are necessary to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights. These measures, procedures and remedies shall be fair and equitable, and shall not be unnecessarily complicated or costly, or entail unreasonable time limits or unwarranted delays. & /en 509 2. The measures, procedures and remedies referred to in paragraph 1 shall also be effective, proportionate and dissuasive and shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of barriers to legitimate trade and to provide for safeguards against their abuse. 3. This Section does not create any obligation for a Party to put in place a judicial system for the enforcement of intellectual property rights distinct from that for the enforcement of law in general, nor does it affect the capacity of a Party to enforce its law in general. This Sub-Section does not create any obligation with respect to how a Party distributes resources between the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the enforcement of law in general. ARTICLE 25.53 Persons Entitled to Apply for the Application of Measures, Procedures and Remedies Each Party shall recognise as persons entitled to seek application of the measures, procedures and remedies referred to in this Section and in Part III of the TRIPS Agreement: (a) the holders of intellectual property rights in accordance with its law; (b) all other persons authorised to use those intellectual property rights, in particular licensees, in so far as permitted by, and in accordance with, its law; & /en 510 (c) intellectual property collective rights management bodies which are regularly recognised as having a right to represent holders of intellectual property rights, in so far as permitted by, and in accordance with, its law; and (d) professional defence bodies which are regularly recognised as having a right to represent holders of intellectual property rights, in so far as permitted by, and in accordance with, its law. SUB-SECTION C.2 Civil and Administrative Enforcement ARTICLE 25.54 Evidence 1. Each Party shall ensure that, even before the commencement of proceedings on the merits of the case, the competent judicial authorities, on application by a party which has presented reasonably available evidence to support his claim that his intellectual property right has been infringed or is about to be infringed, have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional measures to preserve relevant evidence in respect of the alleged infringement, subject to the protection of confidential information. & /en 511 2. The provisional measures referred to in paragraph 1 may include the detailed description, with or without the taking of samples, or the physical seizure of the alleged infringing goods, and, in appropriate cases, the materials and implements used in the production or distribution of these goods, and the documents relating thereto. 3. Each Party shall take the measures necessary to provide its competent judicial authorities with the authority to order, in case of infringement of an intellectual property right committed on a commercial scale, if appropriate and on request of a party in the proceedings, the communication of banking, financial or commercial documents under the control of the opposing party, subject to the protection of confidential information.131 131 Mexico may limit that authority to criminal procedures, in accordance with its law. & /en 512 ARTICLE 25.55 Right of Information 1. Each Party shall ensure that, in proceedings concerning an infringement of an intellectual property right and in response to a justified and proportionate request of the claimant, the competent judicial authorities have the authority to order the infringer or any other person which is party to the proceedings or a witness therein, to provide information on the origin and distribution networks of the goods or services which infringe an intellectual property right132. 132 The European Union may decide that: (a) "any other person" means a person who was: (i) found in possession of the infringing goods on a commercial scale; (ii) found to be using the infringing services on a commercial scale; (iii) found to be providing on a commercial scale services used in infringing activities; or (iv) indicated by the person referred to in subparagraph (i) to (iii) as being involved in the production, manufacture or distribution of the infringing goods or the provision of the infringing services; (b) "information" shall, as appropriate, comprise: (i) the names and addresses of the producers, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and other previous holders of the goods or services, as well as the intended wholesalers and retailers; or (ii) information on the quantities produced, manufactured, delivered, received or ordered, as well as the price obtained for the goods or services in question. & /en 513 2. This Article applies without prejudice to other provisions in the law of a Party which: (a) grant the right holder rights to receive further information; (b) govern the use in civil or criminal proceedings of the information communicated pursuant to this Article; (c) govern the responsibility for misuse of the right of information; (d) afford the opportunity to refuse to provide information that would force the person referred to in paragraph 1 to admit his own participation or that of his close relatives in an infringement of an intellectual property right; or (e) govern the protection of confidentiality of information sources or the processing of personal data. & /en 514 ARTICLE 25.56 Provisional and Precautionary Measures 1. Each Party shall ensure that its judicial authorities, on request of the applicant, have the authority to issue against the alleged infringer an interlocutory injunction intended to prevent any imminent infringement of an intellectual property right, or to forbid, on a provisional basis and subject, if appropriate, to a recurring penalty payment if provided for by its law, the continuation of the alleged infringements of that right, or to make that continuation subject to the provision of guarantees intended to ensure the compensation of the right holder. An interlocutory injunction may also be issued, under the same conditions, against an intermediary whose services are being used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right. For the purposes of this Article, "intermediaries" include internet service providers. 2. An interlocutory injunction may also be issued to order the seizure or delivery up of goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right, so as to prevent their entry into or movement within the channels of commerce. & /en 515 3. Each Party shall provide that, in the case of an alleged infringement, its judicial authorities have the authority to order the precautionary seizure of the movable and immovable property of the alleged infringer, including the blocking of his bank accounts and other assets. To that end, the competent authorities may order the communication of bank, financial or commercial documents, or appropriate access to the relevant information.133 ARTICLE 25.57 Remedies 1. Each Party shall ensure that the competent judicial authorities have the authority to order, on request of the applicant and without prejudice to any damages due to the right holder by reason of the infringement, and without compensation of any sort, the destruction or at least the definitive removal from the channels of commerce, of goods that they have found to infringe an intellectual property right. Each Party shall ensure that, if appropriate, the competent judicial authorities may also order destruction of materials and implements predominantly used in the creation or manufacture of those goods. 133 Mexico may limit the authority to order the communication of bank, financial or commercial documents to criminal procedures in accordance with its law. Each Party may limit this authority to infringements committed on a commercial scale and situations where the applicant demonstrates the existence of circumstances likely to endanger the recovery of damages. & /en 516 2. In considering a request for remedies, 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. ARTICLE 25.58 Injunctions Each Party shall ensure that, if a judicial decision finds an infringement of an intellectual property right, the competent judicial authorities have the authority to issue against the infringer, as well as against an intermediary whose services are being used by a third party to infringe an intellectual property right, an injunction aimed at prohibiting the continuation of the infringement. & /en 517 ARTICLE 25.59 Damages 1. Each Party shall provide that its judicial authorities have the authority at least to order the infringer who knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in activities infringing intellectual property rights, to pay the right holder damages adequate to compensate for the injury the right holder has suffered as a result of the infringement of its intellectual property right.134 2. In determining the amount of damages pursuant to paragraph 1, the judicial authorities of each Party shall take into account all appropriate aspects and have the authority to consider, among other things, any legitimate measure of value the right holder submits, including lost profits, the value of the goods or services that are the object of the infringement, measured by the market price, or the suggested retail price. 3. Each Party shall provide that, at least in cases of infringement of copyright or related rights and trademark counterfeiting, its judicial authorities have the authority to order the infringer, at least in the cases referred to in paragraph 1, to pay the right holder the infringer's profits that are attributable to the infringement. A Party may comply with this paragraph through a presumption that those profits correspond to the damages referred to in paragraph 1. 134 A Party may provide that the initiation of a procedure to claim damages is not subject to a final finding of a violation of intellectual property rights. & /en 518 4. Each Party may provide that the judicial authorities may order in favour of the injured party the recovery of profits or the payment of damages which may be pre-established, where the infringer did not knowingly, or without reasonable grounds to know, engage in infringing activity. ARTICLE 25.60 Legal Costs Each Party shall ensure that reasonable and proportionate legal costs and other expenses incurred by the successful party shall as a general rule be borne by the unsuccessful party, unless equity does not allow this. ARTICLE 25.61 Publication of Judicial Decisions Without prejudice to its law governing the protection of confidentiality of information sources or the protection of personal data, each Party shall ensure that, in legal proceedings concerning the infringement of an intellectual property right, the competent judicial authorities have the authority to order, on request of the applicant, appropriate measures for the dissemination of the information concerning the decision, including displaying the decision and publishing it in full or in part. & /en 519 ARTICLE 25.62 Presumption of Authorship or Ownership 1. Each Party shall recognise that, for the purposes of applying the measures, procedures and remedies provided for in this Sub-Section, in the absence of proof to the contrary, it is sufficient for the name of an author of a literary or artistic work to appear on the work in the usual manner, in order for the author to be regarded as such, and consequently to be entitled to institute infringement proceedings. 2. Paragraph 1 applies, mutatis mutandis, to the holders of rights related to copyright with regard to their protected subject matter. ARTICLE 25.63 Administrative Procedures To the extent that any civil remedy can be ordered as a result of administrative procedures on the merits of a case, such procedures shall conform to principles equivalent in substance to those set out in this Sub-Section. & /en 520 ARTICLE 25.64 Voluntary Stakeholder Initiatives Each Party shall endeavour to facilitate voluntary stakeholder initiatives to reduce infringements of intellectual property rights, including online and in other marketplaces, which focus on concrete problems and seek practical solutions that are realistic, balanced, proportionate and fair for all stakeholders concerned.

With respect to goods under customs control, each Party shall ensure that its customs authorities are active, in accordance with its laws and regulations and in coordination with other relevant authorities, in targeting and identifying shipments containing goods suspected of infringing trademarks, copyright or other intellectual property rights. At least with regard to import goods, these activities should be carried out on the basis of risk analysis. 3. Each Party shall adopt and maintain a centrally managed electronic database relating at least to trademarks and industrial designs, which shall serve as a relevant tool for cooperation between the competent authorities and right holders, free of charge, and for the provision of information for risk analysis. Each Party shall endeavour to extend the electronic database for risk analysis to other intellectual property rights. & /en 522 4. Each Party shall ensure that information provided by the right holder is automatically included in the electronic database provided that it complies with the relevant requirements, in accordance with its laws and regulations. The validation of the information provided by a right-holder shall be automatic or done within a reasonable period of time by the competent authorities of each Party. 5. The Parties recognise the benefits of maintaining and improving an electronic database, with a view to contributing to the detection of infringements of intellectual property rights and to providing elements to initiate the procedure of the suspension or detention of goods under customs control. 6. Each Party shall provide that its customs authorities may act on their own initiative to suspend the release of or detain goods suspected of infringing an intellectual property right, or to inform the right holder or the relevant authorities in order to allow them to assess the need to initiate a procedure that may lead to the suspension or detention of those goods. 7. A Party is encouraged to have in place procedures allowing for the swift destruction of counterfeit trademark and pirated goods sent through postal or express couriers' consignments. 8. The customs authorities of each Party shall maintain a regular dialogue and promote cooperation with stakeholders and with other authorities involved in the enforcement of the intellectual property rights referred to in this Article. & /en 523 9.

ETTEPANEKU TAUST • Ettepaneku põhjused ja eesmärgid Lisatud on ettepanek õigusakti kohta, millega antakse luba allkirjastada Euroopa Liidu ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide vaheline kaubanduse vaheleping (edaspidi „kaubanduse vaheleping“). Praegu põhinevad Euroopa Liidu (EL) ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide (edaspidi „Mehhiko“) suhted ühelt poolt Euroopa Ühenduse ja selle liikmesriikide ning teiselt poolt Mehhiko Ühendriikide vahelisel majanduspartnerlust, poliitilist kooskõlastamist ja koostööd käsitleval lepingul (edaspidi „üldleping“), mis jõustus 1. oktoobril 20001. Üldlepingu kaubandussammast laiendati ühisnõukogu kahe otsusega: EÜ-Mehhiko ühisnõukogu 23. märtsi 2000. aasta otsusega nr 2/2000 kaubavahetuse kohta2 ning ELi-Mehhiko ühisnõukogu 27. veebruari 2001. aasta otsusega nr 2/2001 teenuskaubanduse kohta3. Alates üldlepingu jõustumisest on EL ja Mehhiko oma suhteid süvendanud. Aastal 2008 lõid EL ja Mehhiko strateegilise partnerluse, millega võeti kasutusele kahepoolne dialoog ja koostöö uutes olulistes poliitikavaldkondades, sealhulgas mitmepoolsetes küsimustes, julgeoleku ja õiguse, makromajanduslike aspektide ja inimõiguste alal. 27. jaanuari 2013. aasta Santiago deklaratsioonis väljendasid lepinguosalised oma ühist tahet ajakohastada kehtivat üldlepingut ja see asendada, et kajastada uut poliitilist ja majanduslikku tegelikkust ning strateegilises partnerluses tehtud edusamme. 2015. aasta juunis Brüsselis toimunud seitsmendal ELi-Mehhiko tippkohtumisel kinnitasid pooled taas oma valmisolekut alustada kooskõlas mõlema poole õigusraamistikuga läbirääkimisi, et ajakohastada üldlepingut ja tugevdada oma strateegilist partnerlust. 4. mail 2016 andis Euroopa Liidu Nõukogu Euroopa Komisjonile ja liidu välisasjade ja julgeolekupoliitika kõrgele esindajale loa pidada Mehhikoga läbirääkimisi ajakohastatud lepingu üle, mis asendaks üldlepingu. Läbirääkimised algasid ametlikult 2016. aasta mais. Läbirääkimiste käigus konsulteeriti kaubanduspoliitika komiteega. Euroopa Parlamenti hoiti läbirääkimiste tulemustega täielikult kursis. Kokkulepe saavutati 17. jaanuaril 2025. Et kasutada ära kahepoolsete suhete kõiki võimalusi ja aidata lahendada praegusi ülemaailmseid probleeme, peeti kaubandusläbirääkimisi. Senise ELi-Mehhiko üldlepingu ajakohastamise keskmes on kaks õigusakti: 1. poliitilise, majandusliku ja koostööalase strateegilise partnerluse leping (mida nimetatakse ka „ajakohastatud üldlepinguks“), mis sisaldab a) poliitilist ja koostöösammast ning b) kaubanduse ja investeeringute sammast (sealhulgas sätteid investeeringute kaitse kohta); ning 2. kaubanduse vaheleping (edaspidi „vaheleping“ või „leping“), mis käsitleb kaubanduse ja investeeringute liberaliseerimist. 1 EÜT L 276, 28.10.2000, lk 44–80. 2 EÜT L 157, 30.6.2000, lk 10–29. 3 EÜT L 70, 12.3.2001, lk 7–50. ET 1 ET Kaubanduse vaheleping on kavas allkirjastada samaaegselt ajakohastatud üldlepinguga. Kaubanduse vaheleping jõustub pärast seda, kui lepinguosalised on lepingu artikli 33.9 alusel esitanud sellekohased teated. Kaubanduse vaheleping kaotab kehtivuse ja asendatakse ajakohastatud üldlepinguga, kui viimane on ratifitseeritud ja jõustunud. • Kooskõla poliitikavaldkonnas praegu kehtivate õigusnormidega Kaubanduse vaheleping annab ELi-Mehhiko kaubandus- ja investeerimissuhetele tervikliku ajakohastatud õigusraamistiku ning asendab praeguse üldlepingu III–V jaotise, sealhulgas selle institutsiooniliste organite poolt hiljem tehtud otsused, mis on loetletud kaubanduse vahelepingu 33. lisas. Lisaks üldlepingule on EL ja Mehhiko aastate jooksul sõlminud mitu kahepoolset valdkondlikku lepingut, sealhulgas 27. mail 1997 Brüsselis allkirjastatud Euroopa Ühenduse ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide vahelise piiritusjookide nimetuste vastastikuse tunnustamise ja kaitse lepingu (edaspidi „1997. aasta piiritusjookide leping“)4. 1997. aasta piiritusjookide leping on inkorporeeritud kaubanduse vahelepingusse. Muud sektoripõhised lepingud, mis ei kuulu kaubanduse vahelepingu kohaldamisalasse, jäävad kehtima eraldi lepingutena. Kaubanduse vaheleping on täielikult kooskõlas ELi üldise visiooniga partnerlusest Ladina- Ameerika ja Kariibi piirkonnaga, mis esitati 7. juunil 2023 vastu võetud ühisteatises Euroopa Parlamendile ja nõukogule „ELi ning Ladina-Ameerika ja Kariibi piirkonna vaheliste suhete uus tegevuskava“. Lisaks on kaubanduse vaheleping täielikult kooskõlas 2021. aasta veebruaris avaldatud teatisega „Kaubanduspoliitika läbivaatamine – avatud, kestlik ja jõuline kaubanduspoliitika“, milles kaubandus- ja investeerimispoliitika seotakse Euroopa ja üldiste standardite ja väärtustega ning peamiste majandushuvidega, pannes suuremat rõhku kestlikule arengule, inimõigustele, maksudest kõrvalehoidmisele, tarbijakaitsele ning vastutustundlikule ja õiglasele kaubandusele. • Kooskõla muude liidu tegevuspõhimõtetega Kaubanduse vaheleping on täielikult kooskõlas Euroopa Liidu tegevuspõhimõtetega ega nõua ELi eeskirjade, õigusnormide või standardite (näiteks tehnilised normid ja tootestandardid, sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarnõuded, toidu- ja toiduohutuseeskirjad, tervisekaitse- ja ohutusstandardid, eeskirjad GMOde kohta, keskkonnakaitse- või tarbijakaitsenormid) muutmist üheski reguleeritud valdkonnas. Samuti sisaldab kaubanduse vaheleping kaubanduse ja kestliku arengu peatükki, mis seob lepingu ELi kestliku arengu üldeesmärkidega ning tööjõu, keskkonna ja kliimamuutuste valdkonna erieesmärkidega. Lisaks kaitseb kaubanduse vaheleping täielikult avalikke teenuseid ja tagab, et valitsuste õigus kehtestada avalikes huvides õigusnorme säilib täielikult ja moodustab selle aluspõhimõtte. 4 EÜT L 152, 11.6.1997, lk 16–26. ET 2 ET 2. ÕIGUSLIK ALUS, SUBSIDIAARSUS JA PROPORTSIONAALSUS • Õiguslik alus Vastavalt Euroopa Kohtu 16. mai 2017. aasta arvamusele 2/15 ELi-Singapuri vabakaubanduslepingu kohta kuuluksid kõik kaubanduse vahelepinguga hõlmatud valdkonnad ELi ainupädevusse ning täpsemalt ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 91, artikli 100 lõike 2 ja artikli 207 kohaldamisalasse. Sellest tulenevalt peab liit kaubanduse vahelepingu allkirjastama nõukogu otsuse alusel, mis põhineb ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 218 lõikel 5. • Subsidiaarsus (ainupädevusse mittekuuluva valdkonna puhul) Kaubanduse vahelepingus, nagu see on nõukogule esitatud, ei käsitleta küsimusi, mis ei kuulu ELi ainupädevusse. • Proportsionaalsus Kaubanduslepingud on sobiv vahend, millega reguleerida turulepääsu ja sellega seotud ulatuslikke majandussuhteid ELi-välise kolmanda riigiga. Ei ole ühtki alternatiivset vahendit, mis võimaldaks selliseid kohustusi ja liberaliseerimispüüdlusi õiguslikult siduvaks muuta. Käesoleva algatusega taotletakse otseselt liidu välistegevuse valdkonnas seatud eesmärke ja toetatakse poliitilist prioriteeti „EL kui tugevam tegija rahvusvahelisel tasandil“. See on kooskõlas ELi üldise strateegia suunaga teha teiste riikidega koostööd ja uuendada vastutustundlikult oma välispartnerlussuhteid, et saavutada ELi välistegevuses seatud sihid. See aitab saavutada ELi kaubandus- ja arengueesmärke. Läbirääkimisi Mehhikoga sõlmitava kaubanduse vahelepingu üle peeti nõukogu antud läbirääkimisjuhiste kohaselt. Läbirääkimiste tulemused ei lähe kaugemale sellest, mis on vajalik läbirääkimisjuhistes esitatud poliitiliste eesmärkide saavutamiseks. • Vahendi valik Käesolev nõukogu otsuse ettepanek esitatakse ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 218 lõike 5 alusel, milles nähakse ette, et nõukogu võtab vastu otsuse, millega antakse luba rahvusvahelistele lepingutele alla kirjutada. Käesolevas ettepanekus esitatud eesmärgi saavutamiseks ei ole võimalik kasutada muud õiguslikku vahendit. 3. JÄRELHINDAMISE, SIDUSRÜHMADEGA KONSULTEERIMISE JA MÕJU HINDAMISE TULEMUSED • Praegu kehtivate õigusaktide järelhindamine või toimivuse kontroll Komisjoni tellimusel toimus 2011. aasta veebruaris kuue ELi vabakaubanduslepingu (sealhulgas Mehhiko lepingu) hindamine. 2016. aastal viidi lõpule kehtiva üldlepingu kaubandussamba järelhindamine ja ajakohastamisvõimaluste eelhindamine. Üldlepingu analüüs näitas, et kuigi praeguse kaubandussamba katvus oli tol ajal kõikehõlmav, oli võimalik norme veelgi parandada ja saavutada täiendav turulepääs. Samuti jõuti järeldusele, et üldlepingut on vaja ajakohastada, et võtta arvesse ülemaailmsel kaubandusmaastikul toimunud arengut. ET 3 ET • Konsulteerimine sidusrühmadega Töövõtja, kes tegi lepingu ajakohastamise toetuseks välisuuringud, korraldas arvukalt konsultatsioone ja tegi tööd sidusrühmadega, sealhulgas: i) lõi uuringutega seotud dokumentide ja tegevuste jaoks spetsiaalse veebisaidi; ii) korraldas sidusrühmade veebiküsitluse, mis käivitati 2014. aasta oktoobris; iii) korraldas 2015. aasta juulis Mehhikos kohalike sidusrühmade seminari; iv) viis läbi isikuküsitlusi. Mõjuhinnangu osana pidas kaubanduse peadirektoraat ajakohastamise küsimuses nõu huvitatud sidusrühmadega, sealhulgas ettevõtete, kodanikuühiskonna sidusrühmade, valitsusväliste organisatsioonide, ametiühingute, kutseühingute, kaubanduskodade ja teiste erahuvide esindajatega. Need sidusrühmadega peetud konsultatsioonid hõlmasid mitmesuguseid konsultatsioonitoiminguid, sealhulgas avalikku veebikonsultatsiooni (algatati 2015. aasta juulis). Välisuuringud, mõjuhinnang ja selle ettevalmistamise käigus peetud konsultatsioonid andsid komisjonile sisendit, mis oli kaubanduse vahelepingu üle peetud läbirääkimistel suureks abiks. Läbirääkimiste käigus toimusid kohtumised, kus anti kodanikuühiskonna organisatsioonidele ülevaade läbirääkimiste seisust ja vahetati arvamusi ajakohastamise üle (kohtumised 2017. aasta aprillis ja novembris Brüsselis ning 2017. aasta juulis Méxicos). Kaubanduse vahelepingu üle peetud läbirääkimiste käigus konsulteeriti kaubanduspoliitika komiteega kui erikomiteega, mille nõukogu oli ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 218 lõike 4 kohaselt määranud. Rahvusvahelise kaubanduse komisjoni (INTA), eelkõige selle Mehhiko järelevalverühma kaudu teavitati korrapäraselt ka Euroopa Parlamenti ning Euroopa Majandus- ja Sotsiaalkomiteed. Läbirääkimiste tulemusena jooksvalt koostatud teksti levitati kogu protsessi vältel mõlemas institutsioonis. • Eksperdiarvamuste kogumine ja kasutamine ELi-Mehhiko vabakaubanduslepingu rakendamise järelhindamise viis läbi välistöövõtja „Ecorys“. Kestlikkusalase mõjuhindamise, millega toetati Mehhiko üldlepingu kaubandussamba ajakohastamiseks peetavaid läbirääkimisi, viis läbi välistöövõtja „LSE Enterprise“. • Mõjuhinnang Ettepanekut toetas mõjuhinnang, mis avaldati jaanuaris 20165 ja mille kohta esitati positiivne arvamus6. Mõjuhinnangus jõuti järeldusele, et põhjalikud läbirääkimised tooksid kasu nii ELile kui ka Mehhikole. Selle kasu hulka kuulub SKP, heaolu ja ekspordi, tööhõive, palkade (nii madalama kui ka kõrgema kvalifikatsiooniga töötajate puhul) ja konkurentsivõime kasv ning nii ELi kui ka Mehhiko parem positsioon teiste üleilmsete konkurentidega võrreldes. Kestliku arengu sätete lisamine avaldaks positiivset mõju inimõiguste edendamisele ja austamisele ning Rahvusvahelise Tööorganisatsiooni tööõiguse põhireeglite tulemuslikule rakendamisele ning aitaks liikuda ILO organiseerumisõiguse ja kollektiivse läbirääkimisõiguse põhikonventsiooni ratifitseerimise poole, kuna Mehhiko pole seda seni ratifitseerinud. 5 http://ec.europa.eu/smart-regulation/impact/ia_carried_out/docs/ia_2015/swd_2015_0290_en.pdf 6 http://ec.europa.eu/smart-regulation/impact/ia_carried_out/docs/ia_2015/sec_2015_0498_en.pdf ET 4 ET Peale selle saadakse läbirääkimiste kestel läbi viidud kestlikkusalase mõjuhindamise tulemusena põhjalik hinnang võimaliku majandusliku, sotsiaalse ja keskkonnamõju kohta, mida kaubanduse vahelepingu alusel toimuv kaubanduse suurem liberaliseerimine avaldaks ELis ja Mehhikos. Kestlikkusalasel mõjuhindamisel analüüsitakse ka ajakohastamise võimalikku mõju inimõigustele ning tootmis-, põllumajandus- ja teenindussektorile. Volitused, vahearuanne ja lõpparuanne on kättesaadavad kaubanduse peadirektoraadi veebilehel: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/policy-making/analysis/policy-evaluation/sustainability- impact-assessments/index_en.htm EL ja Mehhiko on saavutanud paljutõotava kokkuleppe, mis on kooskõlas uusimate kaubanduslepingutega, näiteks lepingutega, mille EL on sõlminud Kanada, Jaapani, Uus- Meremaa ja Tšiiliga. Leping avab mõlemal turul uusi kaubandus- ja investeerimisvõimalusi ning toetab ELis töökohtade loomist. Kaubanduse vahelepinguga kaotatakse muu hulgas enamik tollimakse, laiendatakse juurdepääsu riigihankelepingutele, avatakse teenusteturg, pakutakse investoritele prognoositavaid tingimusi ning aidatakse ära hoida ELi uuenduslike ja traditsiooniliste toodete ebaseaduslikku kopeerimist. Samuti sisaldab kaubanduse vaheleping kõiki tagatisi selleks, et majanduslik kasu ei tuleks põhiõiguste, sotsiaalsete standardite, valitsuste õigusnormide kehtestamise õiguse, keskkonnakaitse ega tarbijate tervise ja ohutuse arvelt. • Õigusnormide toimivus ja lihtsustamine Kaubanduse vahelepingu suhtes ei kohaldata õigusloome kvaliteedi ja tulemuslikkuse programmi menetlusi. Sellegipoolest sisaldab see raamistikku, millega lihtsustatakse kaubandus- ja investeerimismenetlusi ning millega vähenevad ekspordi ja investeeringutega seotud kulud, mistõttu suurenevad väikeste ja keskmise suurusega ettevõtjate (VKEd) kaubandus- ja investeerimisvõimalused. Eeldatavate kasutegurite hulka kuuluvad suurem läbipaistvus, vähem koormavad tehnilised normid, vastavusnõuded, tolliprotseduurid ja päritolureeglid, intellektuaalomandi õiguste ja geograafiliste tähiste parem kaitse, parem juurdepääs riigihankemenetlustele ning eripeatükk, millega võimaldatakse VKEdel saada lepingust võimalikult suurt kasu. • Põhiõigused Ettepanek ei mõjuta põhiõiguste kaitset liidus. 4. MÕJU EELARVELE Kaubanduse vahelepingu mõju liikmesriikide eelarvetele ja ELi eelarvele ilmneks eelkõige omavahendite kaotusena, mis tuleneb saamata jäänud tollimaksudest, ning oleks väga piiratud, kuna enamik tollimakse on kehtiva üldlepingu alusel juba kaotatud. Praeguste kaubavoogude põhjal võib tollimaksudest saadav tulu väheneda ligikaudu 18,75 miljoni euro võrra. Oodata on kaudset positiivset mõju, mis seisneb käibemaksu ja kogurahvatuluga seotud vahendite suurenemises. 5. MUU TEAVE • Rakenduskavad ning järelevalve, hindamise ja aruandluse kord Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab institutsioonilisi sätteid, millega luuakse organid, mille ülesanne on jälgida lepingu rakendamist, toimimist ja mõju. ET 5 ET Kaubanduse vahelepingu institutsiooniliste sätetega kehtestatakse konkreetsed funktsioonid ja ülesanded kaubandusnõukogule ja kaubanduskomiteele, kes kaubanduse vahelepingu rakendamist ja kohaldamist jälgivad. Kaubanduskomitee abistab kaubandusnõukogu tema ülesannete täitmisel ning jälgib kõigi kaubanduse vahelepingu alusel loodud allkomiteede ja muude organite tööd. Kaubanduskomitee koosneb ELi ja Mehhiko esindajatest, kes vastutavad kaubandusküsimuste eest ja tulevad kokku kuupäevadel, mis vastastikku kokku lepitakse. • Selgitavad dokumendid (direktiivide puhul) Ei kohaldata. • Ettepaneku sätete üksikasjalik selgitus Kaubanduse vaheleping laiendab praeguse kahepoolse kaubandusraamistiku ulatust ning kohandab seda, et võtta arvesse uusi üleilmseid poliitilisi ja majandusprobleeme, ELi- Mehhiko partnerluse uut tegelikkust ning ELi ja Mehhiko poolt hiljuti sõlmitud kaubanduslepingute ja toimunud läbirääkimiste ambitsiooni. Kaubanduse vahelepinguga luuakse sidus, terviklik, ajakohane ja õiguslikult siduv ELi- Mehhiko kaubandussuhete raamistik. Leping soodustab kaubandust ja investeeringuid, aidates kaasa majandus- ja kaubandussuhete laiendamisele ja mitmekesistamisele. Esmakordselt sisaldab kaubanduse vaheleping kodanikuühiskonnaga konsulteerimise mehhanismi, mis on laiendatud kogu lepingule, nii et mõlema poole kodanikuühiskonnal on võimalik avaldada arvamust lepingu kõigi sätete kohta. Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab läbivaatamisklauslit, mis võimaldab lepingu teatavaid elemente kolm aastat pärast lepingu jõustumist uuesti läbi arutada. Vastavalt läbirääkimisjuhistes seatud sihtidele püütakse kaubanduse vahelepinguga saavutada alljärgnevalt loetletud eesmärke. Põllumajandus- ja kalandustoodete ekspordile parema turulepääsu andmine ja paremad reeglid Praeguse üldlepingu kohaselt on kõik tööstuskaubad ja tuntav osa põllumajandus- ja kalandustoodetest juba liberaliseeritud. Ajakohastamise käigus liberaliseeritakse kaubavahetuse peatükiga täielikult üle 98,7 % kõigist tariifiridadest ja kaotatakse 95 % ülejäänud Mehhiko tollitariifidest põllumajandustoodetele. Kaubavahetust käsitlev tekst sisaldab täiendavaid, veelgi ulatuslikumaid norme, mis hõlbustavad ELi ja Mehhiko vahelist kaubandust. See sisaldab sätteid, mis käsitlevad tasusid ja formaalsusi, impordi ja ekspordi litsentsimist, eksporditollimaksude keeldu ning selliste tariifide sidumist, mille puhul ei ole tollimaksude täielikku kaotamist ette nähtud (kahjulike maksumeetmete kehtestamisest hoidumine). Samuti sisaldab see uue põlvkonna sätteid ekspordikonkurentsi, taastootmise ning parandamise järel sisse toodud kaupade kohta ja kaupade ajutise impordi lihtsustamise sätteid. Päritolureeglite lihtsustamine Päritolureeglid on läbi vaadatud ja teatavatel juhtudel on neid lihtsustatud, et võtta arvesse sektori vajadusi, näiteks vajadust selliste oluliste tööstuskaupade järele nagu autod ja ravimid. Piirimenetluste ajakohastamine ja lihtsustamine ET 6 ET Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab ambitsioonikat tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamise peatükki, mille aluseks on WTO kaubanduse lihtsustamise leping ja mis teatavates valdkondades läheb sellest veelgi kaugemale. EL ja Mehhiko võtavad kohustuse kasutada lihtsustatud, ajakohaseid ja võimaluse korral automaatseid menetlusi, et kaupu tõhusalt ja kiirendatud korras vabastada, ja kohaldada selleks ühtlustatud andme- ja dokumendinõudeid, tollidokumentide ja -teabe saabumiseelset töötlemist ning tulemuslikku ja mittediskrimineerivat riskijuhtimist. Õiglase kaubandus- ja ettevõtluskeskkonna tagamine Selleks et tõhusalt ja tulemuslikult takistada ebaausate kaubandustavade kasutamist, on lepitud kokku paremates kaubanduse kaitsemeetmetes. Lisaks sisaldab kaubanduse vaheleping sätteid, millega kaitstakse omamaiseid tootmisharusid juhul, kui lepingukohase toote import põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada kõnealusele tootmisharule olulist kahju. Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab ka subsiidiumide peatükki, mis aitab luua ELi ja Mehhiko äriühingutele võrdsemad tingimused järgmise kaudu: i) nii kaupade kui ka teenuste subsiidiumide suurem läbipaistvus, ii) konsultatsioonid juhtudel, kui subsiidiumid ähvardavad avaldada kaubandusele negatiivset mõju, ning iii) reeglid kõige kahjulikumate subsiidiumide kohta (restruktureerimisabi ilma restruktureerimiskavata ja piiramatud tagatised). Ühtlasi tagatakse kaubanduse vahelepinguga, et äriühingud järgivad konkurentsi aluspõhimõtteid: ei kuritarvita turgu valitsevat seisundit, ettevõtjad ei sõlmi konkurentsi piiravaid kokkuleppeid ja ühinemise korral kontrollitakse selle mõju konkurentsile. Samal ajal tagab kaubanduse vaheleping turul avaliku ja erasektori ettevõtetele võrdsed võimalused. Turul kaupu või teenuseid ostes või müües peavad riigi osalusega ettevõtted, eri- või eelisõigustega ettevõtted ja määratud monopolid tegutsema mittediskrimineerival viisil ja äriliste kaalutluste alusel. Ulatuslikum kauplemine kriitiliste toormetega ja neisse investeerimine Kaubanduse vahelepingu alusel säilib tollimaksuvaba kauplemine kriitiliste toormetega – nii tagatakse odavam juurdepääs neile ELi rohe- ja digipöörde jaoks hädavajalikele materjalidele ning väiksemad kulud. Peale selle keelatakse uue lepinguga ekspordimonopolid ja valitsuse põhjendamatu sekkumine toormehindade kujundamisse ning keelatakse sellised ekspordihinnad või kahetine hinnakujundus, kus ekspordihinnad on seatud omamaistest hindadest kõrgemaks. Samuti on selles erisätted Mehhikoga toorainete väärtusahelates tehtava koostöö kohta. Kestlikkuse ja soolise võrdõiguslikkuse tagamine Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab kaugeleulatuvat ja põhjalikku peatükki kaubanduse ja kestliku arengu kohta, et lõimida kestlik areng paremini lepinguosaliste kaubandus- ja investeerimissuhetesse: selleks nähakse ette õiguslikult siduvad kohustused keskkonnakaitse, kliimamuutuste ja töötajate õiguste alal, sätted koostöö ja dialoogi kohta, muu hulgas kodanikuühiskonnaga, ning vaidluste lahendamise kord. See peatükk sisaldab ka läbivaatamisklauslit, mille kohaselt peavad lepinguosalised arutama kestlikkussätete edasise täiendamise võimalusi, sealhulgas vastumeetmete kehtestamist rikkumiste korral, ja võimalust kaaluda Pariisi kokkuleppe lisamist lepingu olulise osana. Läbivaatamine algab lepingu jõustumisel ja peaks jõudma lõpule 12 kuuga. Samuti on lepinguosalised kokku leppinud kaubanduse ja soolise võrdõiguslikkuse ühisdeklaratsioonis, mis sisaldab sätteid soolist võrdõiguslikkust ja naiste õigusi käsitlevate rahvusvaheliste kohustuste tulemusliku rakendamise kohta ning millega tugevdatakse koostööd soolise võrdõiguslikkuse poliitika ja meetmete kaubandusaspektide alal. Ühisdeklaratsioon on lepingu lahutamatu osa. ET 7 ET Keskendumine väiksemate ettevõtjate vajadustele Kaubanduse vahelepingus nõutakse, et EL ja Mehhiko looksid VKEdele veebisaidi, mis lihtsustab nende juurdepääsu teabele ja võimaldab neil seega kõikidest lepingu sätetest kasu saada. ELis ja Mehhikos paiknevad kontaktpunktid töötavad üheskoos selleks, et võtta arvesse VKEde erivajadusi ja selgitada välja, kuidas neil on võimalik kummalgi turul uusi võimalusi kasutada. Võimaluste loomine teenuseosutajatele ja digikaubanduse eeskirjad Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab teenuste ja investeeringute turulepääsu üldpõhimõtteid kõikides majandussektorites ning eripõhimõtteid digikaubanduse jaoks. Sellega püütakse luua võrdsed võimalused eelkõige ELi teenuseosutajatele, kes tegutsevad sellistes sektorites nagu telekommunikatsioon ja finantsteenused ning sellistes valdkondades nagu kättetoimetamis- ja mereveoteenused. Kaubanduse vahelepinguga nähakse lepinguosalistele ette raamistik üksteise kvalifikatsioonide tunnustamiseks reguleeritud kutsealadel, nagu arhitektid, raamatupidajad, juristid ja insenerid. Digikaubanduses kehtestatakse lepinguga muu hulgas põhimõtted, mis kehtivad horisontaalselt (sellistes valdkondades nagu kaupade ja teenuste e- kaubandus jms) ning mis on e-kaubanduse hea toimimise jaoks hädavajalikud. Investeeringute soodustamine Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab investeeringute liberaliseerimise sätteid, mis järgivad sama lähenemisviisi kui muud seni sõlmitud kõige ambitsioonikamad ELi kaubanduslepingud. Eelkõige kohaldatakse kõiki investeeringute peatüki sisulisi põhimõtteid nii teenustesektori kui ka muude sektorite suhtes. Eeskätt on investoritele ja nende investeeringutele kasuks kohustus tagada kodumaiste või kolmandate riikide investorite ja investeeringutega võrreldes mittediskrimineeriv kohtlemine, samuti kaugeleulatuvad turulepääsu põhimõtted (käsitletakse kvantitatiivseid piiranguid, nagu monopole ja ainuõigusi, kvoote ja majandusvajaduste teste), aga ka teatavate tulemuslikkuse nõuete keeld. Energiasektoris tagatakse kaubanduse vahelepinguga, et enamsoodustusrežiimi põhimõtet kohaldatakse nii nende vabakaubanduslepingute puhul, mille Mehhiko on varem sõlminud, kui ka nende puhul, mille ta tulevikus sõlmib. Seega tagab leping, et ELi investoreid koheldakse võrdselt Mehhiko teiste sooduskaubanduspartnerite investoritega. Mehhiko avalikele hangetele juurdepääsu võimaldamine Kaubanduse vahelepinguga antakse hankemenetlustes osalevatele pakkujatele rohkem võimalusi. Mehhiko on avanud oma riigihanked ELi äriühingutele palju ulatuslikumalt kui teiste oma kaubanduspartnerite äriühingutele. ELi ettevõtted on esimesed Mehhiko-välised ettevõtted, kes saavad võimaluse teha pakkumusi kaupade ja teenuste pakkumiseks mitte ainult föderaaltasandil, vaid ka majanduslikult kõige olulisemates Mehhiko osariikides. Samuti võtavad EL ja Mehhiko kohustuse kehtestada oma riigihankemenetlustele nüüdisaegne reeglistik, milles kohaldatakse rangeid läbipaistvuse, diskrimineerimiskeelu ja võrdse kohtlemise standardeid. Leiutiste ja loometeoste kaitse Kaubanduse vahelepinguga kehtestatakse võrdsed tingimused, mille kohaselt Mehhiko ja EL järgivad ühist lähenemisviisi ka intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamisel ning mõlemad pooled võtavad meetmeid, et võidelda võltsimise, piraattoodete ja konkurentsivastase tegevusega. See tagab intellektuaalomandi õiguste range kaitse ja õiguskaitse. Siia hulka kuulub ka valitud loetellu kuuluvate ELi ja Mehhiko geograafiliste tähiste vastastikune kaitse. ELi poolelt kuulub sellesse loetellu 336 ELi geograafilist tähist. See lisandub ELi kangete alkohoolsete jookide geograafilistele tähistele, mis on juba saanud samasuguse kaitsetaseme ET 8 ET 1997. aasta ELi-Mehhiko piiritusjookide lepinguga, mis inkorporeeritakse kaubanduse vahelepingusse ja muudetakse selle osaks. Võimalus kaubelda ohutute põllumajanduslike toiduainetega ilma tarbetute sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarpiiranguteta Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab ulatuslikku sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimuste peatükki, milles on sätestatud mitmed kaubanduse lihtsustamise meetmed (sealhulgas eelkontrolli kaotamine). See peaks võimaldama kiiremat, kuid siiski ohutut kauplemist. Nii ELile kui ka Mehhikole jääb õigus kehtestada selline kaitsetase, mida nad peavad asjakohaseks. Selle tagamine, et tehnilised normid, standardid ja vastavushindamismenetlused ei ole diskrimineerivad ega tekita tarbetuid kaubandustõkkeid Kaubanduse vahelepingus korratakse ELi ja Mehhiko võetud kohustust võtta oma tehniliste normide aluseks rahvusvahelised standardid ja leppida kokku rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonide avatud nimekirjas. Kaubanduse vahelepingus tunnistatakse, et lepinguosaliste lähenemine vastavushindamisele ja nende vastavad kaubanduse lihtsustamise meetmed on erinevad: EL kasutab tarnija vastavusdeklaratsiooni, Mehhiko aga tunnustab toodete sertifitseerimist ELis. Läbipaistvuse tagamine ja head reguleerimistavad Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab läbipaistvuse peatükki, milles on ambitsioonikad sätted kaubandusküsimustega seotud üldkohaldatavate meetmete avaldamise, haldamise ning läbivaatamise ja kaebuste esitamise kohta, ning peatükki, milles nähakse ette head reguleerimistavad, mida EL ja Mehhiko oma normide väljatöötamisel kohaldavad. Nüüdisaegse vaidluste lahendamise korra rakendamine Kaubanduse vaheleping sisaldab sätteid riikidevaheliste vaidluste lahendamise kohta: kehtestatakse nüüdisaegsed tulemuslikud ja läbipaistvad menetlused, mis põhinevad nõuetekohasel protsessil, millega hoitakse ära või lahendatakse kõik Mehhiko ja ELi vahelised vaidlused. ET 9 ET 2025/0270 (NLE) Ettepanek: NÕUKOGU OTSUS Euroopa Liidu ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide vahelise kaubanduse vahelepingu Euroopa Liidu nimel allkirjastamise kohta EUROOPA LIIDU NÕUKOGU, võttes arvesse Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingut, eriti selle artikli 91 lõiget 1, artikli 100 lõiget 2 ja artikli 207 lõike 4 esimest lõiku koostoimes artikli 218 lõikega 5, võttes arvesse Euroopa Komisjoni ettepanekut ning arvestades järgmist: (1) 4. mail 2016 andis nõukogu Euroopa Komisjonile ja liidu välisasjade ja julgeolekupoliitika kõrgele esindajale loa alustada ja pidada läbirääkimisi Euroopa Ühenduse ja selle liikmesriikide ning Mehhiko Ühendriikide vahelise majanduspartnerlust, poliitilist kooskõlastamist ja koostööd käsitleva lepingu (edaspidi „ELi-Mehhiko üldleping“) ajakohastamise üle. (2) Need läbirääkimised jõudsid edukalt lõpule 17. jaanuaril 2025. (3) Praeguse ELi-Mehhiko üldlepingu ajakohastuses on ette nähtud kaks paralleelset õigusakti. Esimene neist on ühelt poolt Euroopa Liidu ja selle liikmesriikide ning teiselt poolt Mehhiko Ühendriikide vaheline strateegilise poliitilise ja majandusliku partnerluse leping, mis sisaldab poliitilist ja koostöösammast ning kaubandus- ja investeerimissammast (sealhulgas sätteid investeeringute kaitse kohta), Teine akt on Euroopa Liidu ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide vaheline kaubanduse vaheleping (edaspidi „leping“), mis käsitleb kaubanduse ja investeeringute liberaliseerimist. Leping kaotab kehtivuse ja asendatakse ajakohastatud üldlepinguga, kui viimane on jõustunud. (4) Lepingu eesmärk on soodustada lepinguosaliste vahel kaubanduse ja investeeringute kasvu ja kestlikkust, laiendades ja mitmekesistades nende majandus- ja kaubandussuhteid, luues nii töötajatele kui ka ettevõtjatele, eelkõige väikeettevõtjatele, uusi võimalusi ning aidates samal ajal edendada kestlikku arengut selle sotsiaalses ja keskkonnamõõtmes.

Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab kõik üld- või erimeetmed, mis on vajalikud käesolevast lepingust tulenevate kohustuste täitmiseks, sealhulgas meetmed, mis on vajalikud, et tagada nende täitmine keskvalitsuse, piirkondlike või kohalike omavalitsuste ja asutuste ning valitsusväliste asutuste poolt neile delegeeritud volitusi kasutades. & /et 16 2. Kui kumbki lepinguosaline leiab, et teinelepinguosaline – ei austa põhimõtteid, õigusi või põhivabadusi, millele on osutatud ajakohastatud üldlepingu I osa artiklis 2, või – ei ole täitnud või rakendanud desarmeerimist ja tuumarelva leviku tõkestamist käsitlevatest rahvusvahelistest lepingutest ja kokkulepetest tulenevaid kehtivaid kohustusi või muid rahvusvahelisi kohustusi, millele on osutatud ajakohastatud üldlepingu II osa artiklis 1.4, võib ta võtta asjakohaseid meetmeid vastavalt ajakohastatud üldlepingu IV osa artikli 2.3 lõike 3 sätetele (kohustuste täitmine). Käesoleva lõike kohaldamisel võivad „asjakohased meetmed“ hõlmata käesoleva lepingu osalist või täielikku peatamist. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib teostada käesoleva lõikega ette nähtud õigust, olenemata sellest, kas ajakohastatud üldlepingu asjakohased sätted on jõustunud või neid kohaldatakse ajutiselt. 3. Lõikes 2 osutatud asjakohaste meetmete võtmisel järgitakse igati rahvusvahelist õigust ning need meetmed peavad olema proportsionaalsed lõikes 2 osutatud kohustuste täitmata jätmisega. Eelistada tuleb meetmeid, mis häirivad käesoleva lepingu toimimist kõige vähem. Käesoleva lepingu osaline või täielik peatamine on viimane abinõu. & /et 17 2.

Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab teise lepinguosalise kaupade võrdse kohtlemise kooskõlas GATT 1994 III artikliga ning selle märkuste ja lisasätetega. Selleks inkorporeeritakse GATT 1994 III artikkel ning selle märkused ja lisasätted käesolevasse lepingusse ning muudetakse mutatis mutandis selle osaks. 2. Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et võrdne kohtlemine tähendab, et Mehhiko muu kui föderaaltasandi valitsus või Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi keskvalitsus või kohalik omavalitsus kohtleb kaupu vähemalt sama soodsalt, nagu ta kohtleb vastavalt kas Mehhiko või liikmesriigi otseselt konkureerivaid või asendatavaid kaupu. ARTIKKEL 2.4 Tollimaksude kaotamine või vähendamine 1.

Lepinguosalise taotlusel peavad lepinguosalised nõu, et kaaluda võimalust parandada päritolustaatusega kauba turulepääsuks 2-A lisas sätestatud tariifset kohtlemist. Kaubandusnõukogu võib otsustada 2-A lisa muuta7. 5. Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et lepinguosaline võib WTO vaidluste lahendamise organi loal jätta päritolustaatusega kaubalt võetava tollimaksu kehtima või suurendada seda. 6 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et lepinguosaline võib pärast tollimaksu ühepoolset vähendamist tõsta kõnealuse tollimaksu 2-A lisa kohaselt asjaomaseks aastaks kindlaksmääratud tasemele. 7 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et selle muudatusega asendatakse kõik 2-A lisas sätestatud tollimaksumäärad või üleminekukategooriad. & /et 21 ARTIKKEL 2.5 Eksporditollimaksud ja muud ekspordimaksud või -tasud 1. Lepinguosaline ei kehtesta ega säilita teise lepinguosalise territooriumile suunatud kauba ekspordi suhtes maksu või tasu, mis on suurem kui maks või tasu, mis kehtestatakse selle kauba suhtes, kui see on ette nähtud sisetarbimiseks. 2.

Käesolev artikkel ei takista lepinguosalisel maksustada eksporti artikli 2.6 kohaselt lubatud tasu või lõivuga. ARTIKKEL 2.6 Tasud ja formaalsused 1. Nende tasude ja muude lõivude summa, mille lepinguosaline kehtestab teise lepinguosalise kauba impordile või teisele lepinguosalisele suunatud kauba ekspordile või sellega seoses, on piiratud osutatud teenuste ligikaudse maksumusega ning ei kujuta endast kodumaiste kaupade kaudset kaitset ega impordi või ekspordi maksustamist fiskaalsetel eesmärkidel. & /et 22 2. Lepinguosaline ei kohalda päritolustaatusega kauba suhtes tollivormistustasu8. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab kõik tasud ja lõivud, mis ta on kehtestanud seoses impordi või ekspordiga, viisil, mis võimaldab valitsustel, kauplejatel ja teistel huvitatud isikutel nendega tutvuda. 4. Lepinguosaline ei nõua seoses teise lepinguosalise kauba importimisega konsulaartehinguid, sealhulgas seotud lõive ja tasusid9. ARTIKKEL 2.7 Pärast remonti või muutmist uuesti sisenevad kaubad 1. „Remont või muutmine“ on toote töötlemine, et parandada töödefekte või olulisi kahjustusi, millega kaasneb toote algse funktsiooni taastamine, või tagada toote vastavus tehnilistele kasutusnõuetele, milleta toodet ei saaks enam tavapärasel viisil kasutada ettenähtud eesmärgil. Toote remont või muutmine hõlmab restaureerimist ja hooldust, kuid ei hõlma toimingut või protsessi, a) mis hävitab toote põhiomadused või loob uue või kaubanduslikult erineva toote; 8 Mehhiko puhul on tollivormistustasu „Derecho de Trámite Aduanero“. 9 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et importiv lepinguosaline võib nõuda, et tema konsul, kes on pädev eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil, kinnitaks dokumendid a) uurimise või auditi eesmärgil või b) majapidamistarvete importimisel. & /et 23 b) mis muudab lõpetamata toote valmistooteks või c) mida kasutatakse toote funktsiooni oluliseks muutmiseks. 2.

Lõiget 2 ei kohaldata tollilattu, vabakaubanduspiirkondadesse või sarnase staatusega piirkondadesse imporditud kauba suhtes, mis eksporditakse seejärel remondiks, kuid mida ei reimpordita tollilattu, vabakaubanduspiirkondadesse või sarnase staatusega piirkondadesse. 4. Sõltumata kauba päritolust ei kohalda lepinguosaline tollimaksu kaubale, mis imporditakse ajutiselt teise lepinguosalise territooriumilt remondi või muutmise eesmärgil. & /et 24 ARTIKKEL 2.8 Taastoodetud kaubad 1. „Taastoodetud kaup“ on harmoneeritud süsteemi gruppidesse 84–90 või rubriiki 9402 klassifitseeritud kaup, välja arvatud 2-B lisas nimetatud kaup, a) mis on toodetud täielikult või osaliselt taaskasutatud materjalist, mis on saadud kasutatud kaupadest; b) mille toimivus- ja töötingimused ning eeldatav kasutusiga on sarnased samasuguse uue kauba omadele ning c) millele antakse sama garantii nagu samasugusele uuele kaubale. 2. Kui käesolevas lepingus ei ole sätestatud teisiti, ei kohalda lepinguosaline teise lepinguosalise taastoodetud kaupade suhtes korda, mis on ebasoodsam kui see, mida ta kohaldab samasuguste uute kaupade suhtes. 3. Vastavalt käesolevast lepingust ja WTO asutamislepingust tulenevatele kohustustele võib lepinguosaline nõuda, et taastoodetud kaup a) oleks tema territooriumil turustamiseks või müügiks sellisena identifitseeritud, sealhulgas erimärgistatud, et vältida tarbijate eksitamist, ning & /et 25 b) vastaks kõikidele kohaldatavatele tehnilistele nõuetele ja eeskirjadele, mida kohaldatakse samasuguse uue kauba suhtes. 4. Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et taastoodetud kauba suhtes kohaldatakse artiklit 2.9. Kui lepinguosaline kehtestab kasutatud kauba suhtes impordi- ja ekspordikeelde või - piiranguid või jätab need kehtima, ei kohalda ta neid meetmeid taastoodetud kauba suhtes. ARTIKKEL 2.9 Impordi- ja ekspordipiirangud Lepinguosalised ei kehtesta ega jäta kehtima ühtegi keeldu või piirangut teiselt lepinguosaliselt pärit kauba impordi suhtes või teise lepinguosalise territooriumile suunatud mis tahes kauba ekspordi või ekspordiks müümise suhtes vastavalt GATT 1994 XI artiklile ning selle märkustele ja lisasätetele, kui 2-C lisas ei ole sätestatud teisiti.

ARTIKKEL 3.7 Kvalifikatsiooniühik 1. Käesoleva peatüki kohaldamisel on kvalifikatsiooniühikuks konkreetne toode, mida käsitatakse põhiühikuna toote klassifitseerimisel harmoneeritud süsteemi alusel. 2. Kui toode koosneb tooterühmast või kokkupandud toodetest, mis on harmoneeritud süsteemi tingimuste kohaselt klassifitseeritud ühte rubriiki, käsitatakse kogu tervikut kvalifikatsiooniühikuna. 3. Kui saadetis koosneb mitmest samasse rubriiki klassifitseeritud identsest tootest, käsitletakse käesoleva peatüki kohaldamisel iga toodet eraldi. & /et 63 ARTIKKEL 3.8 Arvestuslik eraldamine 1. Kui kauba tootmisel kasutatakse samaväärseid päritolustaatusega ja päritolustaatuseta materjale, võib materjalide haldamisel kasutada arvestusliku eraldamise meetodit, ilma et materjale hoitaks eraldi varudena. 2. Kui gruppidesse 10, 15, 27, 28, 29, rubriikidesse 32.01–32.07 või rubriikidesse 39.01–39.14 kuuluvad samaväärsed päritolustaatusega ja päritolustaatuseta tooted on füüsiliselt kombineeritud või segatud ühe lepinguosalise varudes enne eksporti teise lepinguosalise territooriumile, võib nende toodete haldamisel kasutada arvestusliku eraldamise meetodit, ilma et neid tooteid hoitaks eraldi varudena. 3. Lõigete 1 ja 2 kohaldamisel on samaväärsed materjalid või samaväärsed tooted sellised materjalid või tooted, mis on sama liiki, sama kaubandusliku kvaliteediga ja samade tehniliste ja füüsiliste omadustega ning mida ei saa materjalide puhul pärast lõpptootesse lisamist üksteisest eristada. 4. Varude haldamiseks kasutatavat arvestusliku eraldamise meetodit kohaldatakse vastavalt varude haldamise süsteemile, mis on kooskõlas lepinguosalise üldtunnustatud raamatupidamispõhimõtetega. & /et 64 5. Varude haldamise süsteem peab alati tagama, et selliste saadud toodete arv, mida võib käsitada lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega toodetena, ei ole suurem kui see arv, mis oleks saadud varude füüsilise eraldamise meetodit kasutades. 6. Varude haldamise süsteemi kasutav tootja peab pidama süsteemi toimimise kohta arvestust, mis on vajalik asjaomase lepinguosalise tolliasutusele, et kontrollida käesoleva peatüki sätete järgimist. 7. Lepinguosaline võib nõuda, et käesoleva artikli kohase arvestusliku eraldamise kasutamiseks on vaja saada eelnev luba selle lepinguosalise tolliasutuselt. 8. Lepinguosalise tolliasutus võib kehtestada lõikes 7 osutatud loa andmiseks kõik tingimused, mida ta peab asjakohaseks, ning võib loa tühistada, kui tootja kasutab seda vääralt või ei täida mõnda muud käesolevas peatükis sätestatud tingimust. ARTIKKEL 3.9 Tarvikud, varuosad ja tööriistad 1. Seadme, masina, aparaadi või sõidukiga koos saadetavaid tarvikuid, varuosi ja tööriistu, mis kuuluvad tavapärase varustuse hulka ja on selle hinna sees või mille kohta ei esitata eraldi arvet, käsitatakse koos kõnealuse seadme, masina, aparaadi või sõidukiga ühe tootena. & /et 65 2. Lõikes 1 osutatud tarvikuid, varuosi ja tööriistu ei võeta toote päritolu määramisel arvesse, välja arvatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalse väärtuse arvutamisel, kui toote suhtes kohaldatakse 3-B lisas sätestatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalset väärtust. ARTIKKEL 3.10 Komplektid Harmoneeritud süsteemi tõlgendamise üldeeskirjas 3 määratletud komplekte käsitatakse lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega komplektidena, kui kõik nende koostisosad on päritolustaatusega kaubad. Kui komplekt koosneb päritolustaatusega ja päritolustaatuseta kaupadest, käsitatakse komplekti tervikuna lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega komplektina, tingimusel et päritolustaatuseta kaupade väärtus ei ületa 15 % komplekti tehasehinnast. ARTIKKEL 3.11 Kõrvalised tegurid Selleks et määrata kindlaks, kas toode on lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega toode või mitte, ei ole vaja kindlaks määrata toote valmistamiseks kasutatavate järgmiste elementide päritolu: a) kütus, energia, katalüsaatorid ja lahustid; & /et 66 b) seadmed ja varustus, mida kasutatakse toote katsetamiseks või kontrollimiseks; c) kindad, prillid, jalatsid, riided, kaitsevahendid ja -varustus; d) masinad, tööriistad, stantsid ja valuvormid; e) rajatised, seadmed, varuosad ja materjalid, mida kasutatakse seadmete ja hoonete hooldamiseks; f) määrdeained, määrded, segumaterjalid ja muud materjalid, mida kasutatakse tootmises või seadmete ja hoonete käitamiseks, ning g) muud materjalid, mis ei kuulu ega ole mõeldud kuuluma toote lõppkoosseisu. ARTIKKEL 3.12 Pakendid, pakkematerjalid ja transporditaara 1. Pakkematerjale ja transporditaarat, millesse toode on pakendatud jaemüügiks, kui need on klassifitseeritud koos tootega vastavalt harmoneeritud süsteemi tõlgendamise üldeeskirjale 5, ei võeta toote päritolu määramisel arvesse, välja arvatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalse väärtuse arvutamisel, kui toote suhtes kohaldatakse päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalset väärtust vastavalt 3-A lisale. & /et 67 2. Pakkematerjale ja transporditaarat, millesse toode on saatmiseks pakitud, ei võeta toote päritolu määramisel arvesse. ARTIKKEL 3.13 Tagasitoodud kaup Kui lepinguosalise riigist kolmandasse riiki eksporditud lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega toode tuuakse tagasi, käsitatakse seda päritolustaatuseta tootena, kui tolliasutustele ei saa tõendada, et a) tagasitoodud kaup on sama kaup, mis eksporditi, ning b) tagasitoodud kaup ei ole läbinud ühtegi muud toimingut peale nende, mis on vajalikud kauba hea seisundi säilitamiseks kõnealuses kolmandas riigis viibimise või ekspordi ajal. & /et 68 ARTIKKEL 3.14 Mittemuutmise põhimõte 1. Lepinguosalise impordiks deklareeritud kaup peab olema sama kaup, mida eksporditakse teise lepinguosalise territooriumilt, kus seda käsitatakse päritolustaatusega kaubana. Kõnealust kaupa ei tohi enne impordiks deklareerimist muuta, ümber kujundada ega teha muid toiminguid peale nende, mis on vajalikud selle heas seisukorras hoidmiseks või märgiste, etikettide, pitserite või muude eraldusmärkide lisamiseks või kinnitamiseks, et tagada vastavus importiva lepinguosalise riigisisestele erinõuetele. 2. Kaupade või saadetiste ladustamine võib toimuda kolmandas riigis tingimusel, et need jäävad selles kolmandas riigis tollijärelevalve alla. 3. Ilma et see piiraks B jao sätete kohaldamist, võib saadetiste osadeks jagamine toimuda kolmandas riigis, kui seda teostab eksportija või see toimub eksportija vastutusel ja tingimusel, et kaubad jäävad kõnealuses kolmandas riigis tollijärelevalve alla. 4. Lõigete 1–3 nõudeid peetakse täidetuks, välja arvatud juhul, kui tolliasutusel on põhjust arvata vastupidist. Sellisel juhul tõendab importija kooskõlas kummagi lepinguosalise õigusnormidega nõuetele vastavust asjakohaste vahendite abil, mille hulka kuuluvad lepingulised veodokumendid, nagu veokirjad, faktilised või konkreetsed tõendid, mis põhinevad märgistusel või pakendite nummerdamisel, või kauba endaga seotud tõendid. & /et 69 ARTIKKEL 3.15 Näitused 1. Päritolustaatusega toodete suhtes, mis saadetakse kolmandasse riiki näitusele ja müüakse pärast näitust impordiks lepinguosalise territooriumile, kohaldatakse importimisel käesoleva lepingu sätteid, kui tolliasutustele on tõendatud, et a) eksportija on saatnud need tooted lepinguosalise territooriumilt sellesse kolmandasse riiki, kus näitus toimub, ja on neid seal eksponeerinud; b) see eksportija on tooted müünud või muul viisil võõrandanud lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvale isikule; c) tooted on saadetud näituse ajal või vahetult pärast seda samas seisukorras, milles need näitusele saadeti, ning d) tooteid ei ole pärast näitusele saatmist kasutatud muudel eesmärkidel kui näitusel esitlemiseks. 2. Päritolukinnitus tuleb koostada vastavalt B jao sätetele ja esitada importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutusele tavapärasel viisil. Sellele tuleb märkida näituse nimi ja aadress. & /et 70 3. Lõiget 1 kohaldatakse kõikide kaubandus-, tööstus-, põllumajandus- või käsitöönäituste, messide või samalaadsete avalike näituste või väljapanekute suhtes, mida ei korraldata isiklikel eesmärkidel kauplustes või äriruumides kõnealuste toodete müümiseks ja mille jooksul tooted jäävad tollikontrolli alla. 4. Importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus võib nõuda tõendeid selle kohta, et tooted on jäänud kolmandas riigis, kus näitus toimub, tollikontrolli alla, ning täiendavaid dokumentaalseid tõendeid selle kohta, millistel tingimustel neid on eksponeeritud. B JAGU Päritolumenetlused ARTIKKEL 3.16 Tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlus ja päritolukinnitus 1. Importiv lepinguosaline võimaldab tariifset sooduskohtlemist käsitleva importija taotluse aluse importimisel tariifset sooduskohtlemist teise lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega tootele artikli 3.2 tähenduses, tingimusel et kõik muud käesoleva peatüki kohaldatavad nõuded on täidetud. & /et 71 2. Tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlus põhineb artikli 3.18 kohaselt väljastatud päritolukinnitusel, mille eksportija esitab kaubaarvel või muus äridokumendis. 3. Tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlus ja lõikes 2 osutatud päritolukinnitus lisatakse impordi tollideklaratsioonile kooskõlas importiva lepinguosalise õigusnormidega. 4. Importija, kes esitab taotluse lõikes 2 osutatud päritolukinnituse alusel, peab seda omama ja esitama nõudmisel importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutusele päritolukinnituse koopia. 5. Artiklis 3.23 sätestatud juhtudel lõikeid 2, 3 ja 4 ei kohaldata. ARTIKKEL 3.17 Tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlus pärast importi 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et kui importija ei esitanud importimise ajal tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlust ja asjaomane kaup oleks importimise ajal vastanud artikli 3.2 kohaselt sellise taotluse esitamise nõuetele kui päritolustaatusega kaup, võib importija pärast importi taotleda tariifset sooduskohtlemist ja saada imporditud kauba eest makstud ülemäärase tollimaksu tagasi. & /et 72 2. Importija peab tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotluse esitama hiljemalt üks aasta pärast impordi kuupäeva. Lõike 1 kohase tariifse sooduskohtlemise võimaldamise tingimusena võib lepinguosaline nõuda, et importija: a) esitaks asjaomase kauba päritolukinnituse koopia; b) esitaks kõik muud kauba importimiseks vajalikud dokumendid ning c) kinnitaks, et kaup oli importimise ajal päritolustaatusega. ARTIKKEL 3.18 Päritolukinnituse koostamise tingimused 1. Artikli 3.16 lõikes 2 osutatud päritolukinnituse võib koostada eksportija, kes on registreeritud: a) Mehhikos pädeva valitsusasutuse poolt volitatud eksportijana, tingimusel et on täidetud kõik nõuded, mida peetakse asjakohaseks, et kontrollida kauba päritolustaatust ja muude käesolevas peatükis sätestatud nõuete täitmist, ning b) Euroopa Liidus eksportijana kooskõlas asjakohaste Euroopa Liidu õigusnormidega (registreeritud eksportijate süsteem). & /et 73 2. Tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus annab registreeritud eksportijale numbri, mis märgitakse päritolukinnitusele. Tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus haldab registreerimisprotsessi ja võib registreerimise tühistada, kui eksportija kasutab seda vääralt. 3. Eksportija võib artikli 3.16 lõikes 2 osutatud päritolukinnituse koostada iga saadetise kohta, mis koosneb ühest või mitmest päritolustaatusega tooteid sisaldavast pakendist, mille koguväärtus ei ületa 6 000 eurot. 4. Eksportija esitab päritolukinnituse, kasutades üht 3-B lisa keeleversiooni, kaubaarvel või muus äridokumendis, milles päritolustaatusega kaupa on kirjeldatud piisavalt täpselt, et seda oleks võimalik identifitseerida. 5. Päritolukinnitusel peab olema eksportija käsitsi kirjutatud originaalallkiri. Lõike 1 kohaselt registreeritud eksportija ei pea sellistele päritolukinnitustele alla kirjutama, tingimusel et eksportija võtab eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutuse või pädeva valitsusasutuse ees täieliku vastutuse iga päritolukinnituse eest, mis identifitseerib eksportija nii, nagu kõnealune eksportija oleks päritolukinnitusele käsitsi alla kirjutanud. 6. Päritolukinnituse koostanud eksportija peab olema valmis esitama igal ajal eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutuse või pädeva valitsusasutuse nõudmisel kõik asjakohased dokumendid, mis tõendavad asjaomaste toodete päritolustaatust ja muude käesolevas peatükis sätestatud nõuete täitmist. 7. Eksportija võib koostada päritolukinnituse asjaomase kauba eksportimise ajal või pärast eksporti. & /et 74 ARTIKKEL 3.19 Päritolukinnituse kehtivus 1. Päritolukinnitus kehtib üks aasta pärast selle koostamise kuupäeva. 2. Päritolukinnitus võib käsitleda: a) toote ühte saadetist või b) mitut identsete toodete saadetist päritolukinnituses märgitud ajavahemiku jooksul, mis ei ületa 12 kuud. ARTIKKEL 3.20 Import osasaadetistena Kui importija taotlusel ja kooskõlas importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutuse kehtestatud tingimustega imporditakse harmoneeritud süsteemi XV–XXI jaotiste alla kuuluvaid, harmoneeritud süsteemi tõlgendamise üldeeskirja 2 punkti a tähenduses lahtivõetud või kokkupanemata kaupu osasaadetistena, esitatakse esimese osasaadetise importimisel tolliasutuse nõudmisel nende kaupade kohta üks päritolukinnitus. & /et 75 ARTIKKEL 3.21 Lahknevused ja väikesed vead 1. Päritolukinnituses ja tolliasutusele toodete impordiga seotud formaalsuste täitmiseks esitatud dokumentides olevate andmete vahel väikeste lahknevuste avastamisel ei muuda see asjaolu päritolukinnitust iseenesest tühiseks, kui nõuetekohaselt tõendatakse, et see dokument vastab asjaomastele toodetele. 2. Importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus ei jäta päritolukinnituses esinevate väikeste vigade, näiteks trükivigade tõttu tariifse sooduskohtlemise taotlust rahuldamata. ARTIKKEL 3.22 Dokumentide säilitamise nõuded 1. Importija, kes taotleb lepinguosalise territooriumile imporditud kauba suhtes tariifset sooduskohtlemist, peab omama eksportija koostatud päritolukinnitust ja säilitama seda kolme aasta jooksul pärast toote importimise kuupäeva või importiva lepinguosalise määratud pikema aja jooksul. & /et 76 2. Eksportija, kes on koostanud päritolukinnituse, peab omama päritolukinnituse ja kõikide muude dokumentide koopiaid, mis tõendavad, et toode vastab päritolustaatuse saamise nõuetele, ja säilitama neid kolme aasta jooksul pärast päritolukinnituse koostamist või eksportiva lepinguosalise määratud pikema aja jooksul. 3. Käesoleva artikli kohaselt säilitatavaid dokumente võib hoida elektroonilisel kujul. ARTIKKEL 3.23 Päritolukinnituse erandid 1. Kaupu, mis saadetakse väikese väärtusega pakkidena eraisikult eraisikule või mis kuuluvad reisijate isikliku pagasi hulka, võib päritolustaatusega kaupadena importida ilma päritolukinnitust nõudmata, tingimusel et neid kaupu ei impordita kaubanduslikul eesmärgil, need on deklareeritud vastavalt käesoleva peatüki nõuetele ning selle deklaratsiooni õigsuses ei ole kahtlust. 2. Importi, mis on juhuslik ja koosneb üksnes kauba saajate või reisijate või nende pereliikmete isiklikuks tarbeks mõeldud toodetest, ei käsitata impordina kaubanduslikul eesmärgil, kui kauba laadi ja koguse põhjal on ilmne, et sellel puudub kaubanduslik eesmärk, tingimusel et import ei ole osa impordiseeriast, mida võib põhjendatult käsitada impordina, mida teostatakse eraldi selleks, et vältida päritolukinnituse nõude täitmist. & /et 77 3. Lõikes 1 osutatud kaupade koguväärtus ei tohi olla üle 500 euro või sellele vastava summa lepinguosalise vääringus, kui tegemist on väikese väärtusega pakenditega, või üle 1 200 euro või sellele vastava summa lepinguosalise vääringus, kui tegemist on reisijate isikliku pagasi hulka kuuluvate kaupadega. 4. Käesolevat artiklit ei tõlgendata nii, et see takistab lepinguosalist vastu võtmast asjakohaseid tollikontrolle, et tagada lõigete 1–3 nõuete täitmine. ARTIKKEL 3.24 Kauba päritolu kontrollimine ja halduskoostöö 1. Lepinguosalised edastavad üksteisele päritolukinnituste kontrollimise eest vastutavate tolliasutuste või pädevate valitsusasutuste aadressid ja kontaktandmed. 2. Käesoleva peatüki nõuetekohase kohaldamise tagamiseks abistavad lepinguosalised üksteist oma tolliasutuste või pädevate valitsusasutuste kaudu, et kontrollida kauba päritolustaatust ning päritolukinnituste autentsust ja neis kinnitustes esitatud teabe õigsust. & /et 78 3. Päritolukinnitusi kontrollitakse pisteliselt või siis, kui importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutusel on põhjendatud kahtlusi kinnituse autentsuse, asjaomase kauba päritolustaatuse või muude käesolevas peatükis sätestatud nõuete täitmise suhtes. 4. Lõike 3 rakendamiseks esitab importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutusele või pädevale valitsusasutusele kirjalikult taotluse päritolu kontrollimiseks, esitades järgmised andmed: a) taotluse esitanud tolliasutuse andmed; b) kontrollitava eksportija nimi; c) kontrollimise objekt ja ulatus ning d) päritolukinnituse koopia ja vajaduse korral kõik muud asjakohased dokumendid. 5. Kontrolli teostab eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus. Selleks on tal õigus nõuda mis tahes tõendeid ja viia läbi eksportija raamatupidamisarvestuse kontroll või muu kontroll, mida ta peab asjakohaseks. & /et 79 6. Eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus teavitab kontrolli taotlenud tolliasutust võimalikult kiiresti kontrolli tulemustest. Tulemused esitatakse kirjalikus aruandes, milles on selgelt märgitud, kas asjaomaseid kaupu võib käsitada päritolustaatusega kaupadena, kas päritolukinnitus on autentne ja kas muud käesoleva peatüki nõuded on täidetud. Kirjalik aruanne sisaldab järgmist: a) kontrolli tulemused; b) kontrollitud kaupade kirjeldus ning päritolureegli kohaldamiseks vajalik tariifne klassifikatsioon; c) kauba päritolustaatuse põhjenduse kirjeldus ja selgitus ning d) olemasolu korral tõendavad dokumendid. 7. Kui põhjendatud kahtluse korral ei saada vastust kümne kuu jooksul pärast kontrollimise taotluse esitamise kuupäeva või kui vastus ei sisalda piisavalt teavet, et teha kindlaks kõnealuse dokumendi autentsus või kauba päritolu, on taotluse esitanud tolliasutusel õigus keelduda tariifse sooduskohtlemise võimaldamisest, välja arvatud erandlikel asjaoludel. & /et 80 8. Importiv lepinguosaline teatab eksportivale lepinguosalisele 60 päeva jooksul pärast kirjaliku aruande saamist, kui käesoleva artikli kohaste kontrollimenetlustega või päritolureeglite tõlgendamisega seoses esineb eriarvamusi selle kindlaksmääramisel, kas kaup kvalifitseerub päritolustaatusega tooteks, ja neid eriarvamusi ei ole kontrolli taotlenud tolliasutuse ja kontrolli eest vastutava tolliasutuse või pädeva valitsusasutuse vaheliste konsultatsioonide käigus võimalik lahendada. 9. Kummagi lepinguosalise taotluse korral alustavad lepinguosalised nende eriarvamuste lahendamiseks konsultatsioone ja viivad need lõpule 90 päeva jooksul pärast lõikes 8 osutatud teate kuupäeva. Konsultatsioonide läbiviimise tähtaega võib juhtumipõhiselt lepinguosaliste vastastikusel kirjalikul nõusolekul pikendada. Lepinguosalised püüavad need erimeelsused lahendada artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punktiga d loodud tolli, kaubanduse lihtsustamise ja päritolureeglite allkomitees. 10. Käesolev peatükk ei takista lepinguosalise tolliasutust võtmast muid meetmeid, mida ta peab vajalikuks seni, kuni lõikes 8 osutatud erimeelsused on käesoleva lepingu alusel lahendatud. & /et 81 ARTIKKEL 3.25 Konfidentsiaalsus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline säilitab kooskõlas oma õigusega teise lepinguosalise poolt käesoleva peatüki kohaselt esitatud teabe konfidentsiaalsuse ja kaitseb seda teavet avalikustamise eest. 2. Importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus võib kasutada teiselt lepinguosaliselt saadud teavet ainult käesoleva peatüki kohaldamise eesmärgil. 3. Eksportiva lepinguosalise tolliasutus või pädev valitsusasutus ei avalda eksportijalt saadud konfidentsiaalset äriteavet, kui käesolevas peatükis ei ole sätestatud teisiti. 4. Importiv lepinguosaline ei kasuta teavet, mille tema tolliasutus on käesoleva peatüki kohaselt saanud, kohtu või kohtuniku läbiviidavas kriminaalmenetluses, välja arvatud juhul, kui importiv lepinguosaline teavitab eksportivat lepinguosalist ametlikult kirjalikult teabest, mida ta kavatseb kasutada, ja selle kasutamise põhjendusest ning tingimusel, et eksportiv lepinguosaline ei esita vastuväiteid. & /et 82 5. Käesolevat lepingut ei tõlgendata nii, et see takistab lepinguosalist kasutamast konfidentsiaalset teavet käesoleva peatükiga seotud tollialaste õigusaktide haldamiseks või rakendamiseks või muul lepinguosaliste õigusnormidega ettenähtud viisil, sealhulgas haldusmenetluses, kohtulaadse asutuse menetluses või kohtumenetluses. ARTIKKEL 3.26 Haldusmeetmed ja -karistused Lepinguosaline kohaldab haldusmeetmeid ja -karistusi kõikide isikute suhtes, kes on koostanud või lasknud koostada ebaõiget teavet sisaldava dokumendi, et saavutada kaupade tariifne sooduskohtlemine. C JAGU Muud sätted ARTIKKEL 3.27 Peatüki kohaldamine Ceuta ja Melilla suhtes 1. Käesoleva peatüki kohaldamisel ei hõlma Euroopa Liidu puhul mõiste „lepinguosaline“ Ceutat ega Melillat. & /et 83 2. Ceutasse või Melillasse imporditavate Mehhikost pärit kaupade suhtes kohaldatakse sama tollikohtlemist käesoleva lepingu alusel, mida kohaldatakse Euroopa Liidu tolliterritooriumilt pärit kaupade suhtes Hispaania Kuningriigi ja Portugali Vabariigi Euroopa Ühendustega ühinemise akti protokolli nr 2 alusel. Mehhiko võimaldab Ceutast ja Melillast pärit käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud kaupade impordi suhtes sama tollikohtlemist, mida võimaldatakse Euroopa Liidust imporditud ja sealt pärinevate kaupade suhtes. 3. Käesolevas peatükis osutatud päritolureegleid ja päritolumenetlusi kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis kaupade suhtes, mida eksporditakse Mehhikost Ceutasse ja Melillasse, ning kaupade suhtes, mida eksporditakse Ceutast ja Melillast Mehhikosse. 4. Ceutat ja Melillat käsitatakse ühe territooriumina. 5. Eksportija märgib päritolukinnituse teksti lahtrisse 3 „Mehhiko“ või „Ceuta ja Melilla“ sõltuvalt kauba päritolust. 6. Hispaania tolliasutus vastutab käesoleva peatüki kohaldamise ja rakendamise eest Ceutas ja Melillas. & /et 84 ARTIKKEL 3.28 Andorra Vürstiriik ja San Marino Vabariik Andorra ja San Marino päritolustaatusega kaupade tariifne sooduskohtlemine ja nende kaupade päritolu kindlaksmääramine on sätestatud 3-C lisas.

PEATÜKK TOLLI JA KAUBANDUSE LIHTSUSTAMINE ARTIKKEL 4.1 Üldeesmärgid 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamise olulisust arenevas üleilmses kaubanduskeskkonnas. 2. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et nad peaksid oma impordi-, ekspordi- ja transiidinõuete ja - protseduuride puhul võtma arvesse tolli ja rahvusvahelise kaubanduse valdkonnas kohaldatavaid tolli- ja kaubandusalaseid õigusakte ja standardeid, näiteks 18. mail 1973 Kyotos sõlmitud ja 1999. aasta juunis Maailma Tolliorganisatsiooni nõukogu vastu võetud tolliprotseduuride lihtsustamist ja ühtlustamist käsitleva muudetud Kyoto konventsiooni sisulisi elemente, 14. juunil 1983 Brüsselis sõlmitud rahvusvahelist konventsiooni kaupade kirjeldamise ja kodeerimise harmoneeritud süsteemi kohta ning 2005. aasta juunis vastu võetud Maailma Tolliorganisatsiooni ülemaailmse kaubanduse kindlustamise ja hõlbustamise standardite raamistikku (edaspidi „SAFE standardite raamistik“) ning Maailma Tolliorganisatsiooni tolliandmete mudelit. & /et 87 3. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et nende õigusnormid peavad olema mittediskrimineerivad ning tolliprotseduurid peavad põhinevad nüüdisaegsetel meetoditel ja tulemuslikel kontrollidel, et saavutada seadusliku kaubanduse kaitse ja lihtsustamine. 4. Samuti tunnistavad lepinguosalised, et nende tolliprotseduurid ei tohi olla rohkem halduslikult koormavad ega kaubandust piiravad, kui on vaja õiguspäraste eesmärkide saavutamiseks, ning et neid protseduure tuleks kohaldada prognoositaval, järjekindlal ja läbipaistval viisil. 5. Tegevuse läbipaistvuse, tõhususe, terviklikkuse ja usaldusväärsuse tagamiseks teeb kumbki lepinguosaline järgmist: a) vaatab nõuded ja formaalsused läbi ning võimaluse korral lihtsustab neid, et tagada kauba kiire vabastamine ja vormistamine; b) teeb tööd tolli- ja muude asutuste nõutavate andmete ja dokumentide edasise lihtsustamise ja standardimise nimel, et vähendada kauplejate või ettevõtjate, sealhulgas väikeste ja keskmise suurusega ettevõtete aja- ja rahakulu, ning c) tagab kõrgeimate usaldusväärsusstandardite säilitamise, rakendades meetmeid, mis kajastavad tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamise valdkonna asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste konventsioonide ja õigusaktide põhimõtteid. & /et 88 6. Lepinguosalised lepivad kokku tõhustada oma koostööd, et tagada, et asjaomased õigusaktid ja menetlused ning asjaomaste haldusasutuste haldussuutlikkus vastaksid kaubanduse lihtsustamise eesmärkidele, tagades samal ajal tulemusliku tollikontrolli. ARTIKKEL 4.2 Läbipaistvus ja avaldamine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb vajaduse korral ette korrapäraste konsultatsioonide korraldamise oma territooriumil asuvate piiriasutuste ja kauplejate või muude sidusrühmade vahel. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab viivitamata mittediskrimineerival ja kergesti kättesaadaval viisil, sealhulgas internetis ja võimaluse korral inglise keeles, oma õigusnormid ning üldised haldusmenetlused ja suunised, mis on seotud tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamisega. Need hõlmavad järgmist: a) impordi-, ekspordi- ja transiidiprotseduurid, sealhulgas sadama-, lennujaama- ja muud sisenemisprotseduurid ning nõutavad vormid ja dokumendid; b) kohaldatavad tollimaksumäärad ja muud maksud, mis on kehtestatud impordi või ekspordi suhtes või sellise impordi või ekspordiga seoses; c) tasud ja lõivud, mille valitsusasutused on kehtestanud impordile, ekspordile või transiidile või sellise impordi, ekspordi või transiidiga seoses; & /et 89 d) kaupade klassifitseerimise või tolliväärtuse määramise eeskirjad; e) päritolureeglitega seotud üldkohaldatavad õigusnormid ja haldusotsused; f) impordi-, ekspordi- või transiidipiirangud või -keelud; g) karistussätted impordi-, ekspordi- või transiidiformaalsuste rikkumise eest; h) kaebuste esitamise kord; i) mis tahes riigi või riikidega sõlmitud impordi-, ekspordi- või transiidilepingud või nende osad; j) tariifikvootide haldamisega seotud menetlused; k) sadamate ja piiripunktide tolliasutuste lahtiolekuajad ja töökord ning l) teabekeskused teabepäringute esitamiseks. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline annab kooskõlas oma õigusnormidega kauplejatele ja teistele huvitatud isikutele võimaluse ja mõistliku aja, et esitada märkusi tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamisega seotud üldkohaldatavate õigusnormide kavandatava kehtestamise või muutmise kohta. & /et 90 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab kooskõlas oma õigusnormidega, et tolli ja kaubanduse lihtsustamisega seotud uued või muudetud üldkohaldatavad õigusnormid ja igasugune teave nende kohta tehakse avalikult kättesaadavaks võimalikult varakult enne nende jõustumist, et kauplejad ja teised huvitatud isikud saaksid nendega tutvuda. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib ette näha, et lõikeid 3 ja 4 ei kohaldata tollimaksu- või tariifimäärade muutmise või leevendava mõjuga meetmete suhtes, selliste meetmete suhtes, mille tõhusust lõigete 3 ja 4 järgimine kahjustaks, kiireloomulistel asjaoludel kohaldatavate meetmete suhtes või oma riigisisese õiguse ja õigussüsteemi väikeste muudatuste suhtes. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline loob või säilitab ühe või mitu teabekeskust, mis tegelevad kauplejate ja teiste huvitatud isikute päringutega tolli- ja muude kaubanduse lihtsustamise küsimuste kohta, ning avaldab internetis teabe selliste päringute esitamise kohta. 7. Lepinguosaline ei tohi nõuda päringutele vastamise või nõutavate vormide ja dokumentide esitamise eest tasu. 8. Teabekeskused vastavad päringutele ning esitavad vormid ja dokumendid kummagi lepinguosalise määratud mõistliku aja jooksul, mis võib päringu laadist või keerukusest sõltuvalt erineda. & /et 91 ARTIKKEL 4.3 Andmetele ja dokumentidele kehtivad nõuded 1. Impordi-, ekspordi- ja transiidiformaalsustele ning andmetele ja dokumentidele kehtivate nõuete lihtsustamiseks ja nende arvu ja keerukuse vähendamiseks tagab kumbki lepinguosaline vajaduse korral, et neile formaalsustele, andmetele ja dokumentidele kehtivad nõuded a) võetakse vastu ja neid kohaldatakse kaupade kiireks vabastamiseks, kui vabastamise tingimused on täidetud; b) võetakse vastu ja neid kohaldatakse nii, et nende eesmärk on vähendada kauplejate ja ettevõtjate jaoks nõuete täitmisega seotud aja- ja rahakulu; c) on kõige vähem kaubandust piirav alternatiiv, kui kõnealuse poliitikaeesmärgi või kõnealuste poliitikaeesmärkide saavutamiseks on mõistlikult võimalikud kaks või rohkem alternatiivi, ning d) tunnistatakse kehtetuks (sh nende osad), kui need ei ole enam vajalikud. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline kohaldab kaupade vabastamisel kogu oma territooriumil ühtseid tolliprotseduure ning tolliandmetele ja -dokumentidele kehtivaid nõudeid. Käesoleva lõike sätted ei takista lepinguosalisel oma tolliprotseduure ning andmetele ja dokumentidele kehtivaid nõudeid eristada selliste elementide alusel nagu riskijuhtimine, kauba laad ja liik või transpordivahend. & /et 92 ARTIKKEL 4.4 Automatiseerimine ja infotehnoloogia kasutamine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb järgmist: a) kasutab lepinguosalistevahelise kaubanduse lihtsustamiseks kauba vabastamise menetlust kiirendavat infotehnoloogiat; b) teeb tolli kasutajatele kättesaadavaks elektroonilised süsteemid; c) lubab esitada tollideklaratsioone elektroonilisel kujul ning d) kasutab elektroonilisi või automatiseeritud riskijuhtimissüsteeme. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline kehtestab või jätab kehtima menetlused, mis võimaldavad tasuda impordi ja ekspordi korral tolliasutuste kogutavad tollimaksud, maksud, lõivud ja muud tasud elektrooniliselt. & /et 93 ARTIKKEL 4.5 Kauba vabastamine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline kehtestab või jätab kehtima menetlused, mis võimaldavad a) kauba viivitamatult vabastada ajavahemiku jooksul, mis ei ole pikem, kui on vajalik lepinguosalise tolliõiguse ja muude kaubandusega seotud õigusnormide järgimise tagamiseks; b) tolliandmete ja -dokumentide ning muu teabe eelnevat elektroonilist esitamist ja töötlemist enne kauba saabumist, et kauba saabumisel oleks võimalik see tollikontrollist vabastada; c) kauba vabastada selle saabumiskohas, ilma et see viidaks ajutiselt ladudesse või muudesse rajatistesse, ning d) kauba vabastada enne tollimaksude, maksude, lõivude ja tasude lõplikku kindlaksmääramist, kui neid ei määrata kindlaks enne kauba saabumist või kohe kauba saabumisel, ja tingimusel, et kõik muud õigusaktidega kehtestatud nõuded on täidetud; lepinguosaline võib enne kauba vabastamist nõuda, et importija esitaks piisava tagatise garantii, rahalise tagatise või muus asjakohases vormis, mis ei tohi olla suurem kui summa, mis on vajalik tagatisega kaetud kauba eest tasumisele kuuluvate tollimaksude, maksude, lõivude ja tasude tasumise tagamiseks, ja mis tühistatakse, kui kõnealune tagatis ei ole enam nõutav. & /et 94 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib kooskõlas oma õigusnormidega võtta vastu või jätta kehtima meetmeid, mis võimaldavad kauplejatel või ettevõtjatel saada kasu tolliprotseduuride täiendavast lihtsustamisest. ARTIKKEL 4.6 Riskijuhtimine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline kehtestab või säilitab tollikontrolli riskijuhtimissüsteemi, mis võimaldab tema tolliasutustel keskenduda oma kontrollitegevuses kõrge riskitasemega saadetistele ja kiirendada madala riskitasemega saadetiste vabastamist. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline kavandab ja kohaldab riskijuhtimist viisil, mis võimaldab vältida meelevaldset või põhjendamatut diskrimineerimist või rahvusvahelise kaubanduse varjatud piiramist. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline tugineb riskijuhtimisel riskide hindamisele asjakohaste valikukriteeriumide alusel. 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib riskijuhtimise raames ka pisteliselt saadetisi tollikontrolliks valida. 5. Kaubanduse lihtsustamiseks vaatab kumbki lepinguosaline lõikes 1 osutatud riskijuhtimissüsteemi korrapäraselt läbi ja vajaduse korral ajakohastab seda. & /et 95 ARTIKKEL 4.7 Eelotsused 1. Eelotsus on kirjalik otsus, mille lepinguosaline esitab taotlejale oma tolliasutuse kaudu enne taotlusega hõlmatud kauba importimist tema territooriumile ja milles sätestatakse, millist kohtlemist peab lepinguosaline kauba suhtes impordi ajal kohaldama seoses järgmisega: a) kauba tariifne klassifitseerimine; b) kauba päritolustaatus17 ja c) muud küsimused, milles lepinguosalised kokku lepivad. 2.

PEATÜKK KAUBANDUSE KAITSEMEETMED A JAGU Dumpinguvastased ja tasakaalustavad meetmed ARTIKKEL 5.1 Üldsätted 1. Lepinguosalised kinnitavad oma õigusi ja kohustusi, mis tulenevad GATT 1994 VI artiklist, dumpinguvastasest lepingust ning subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingust. 2. Ajutiste ja lõplike meetmete kohaldamisel määratakse asjaomase kauba päritolu kindlaks kooskõlas kummagi lepinguosalise mittesooduspäritolureeglitega. & /et 110 ARTIKKEL 5.2 Läbipaistvus ja nõuetekohane menetlus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline viib oma menetlused läbi ning kohaldab dumpinguvastaseid ja tasakaalustavaid meetmeid õiglaselt ja läbipaistvalt kooskõlas dumpinguvastase lepingu ning subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu asjakohaste sätetega. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline teavitab kõiki huvitatud isikuid menetluse esialgses etapis ja igal juhul enne lõpliku otsuse tegemist olulistest asjaoludest, mille põhjal otsustatakse, kas kohaldada lõplikke meetmeid. See ei piira dumpinguvastase lepingu artikli 6 lõike 5 ning subsiidiumide lepingu artikli 12 lõike 4 kohaldamist. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline annab dumpinguvastase või tasakaalustava tollimaksu uurimises kõikidele huvitatud isikutele täieliku võimaluse kaitsta oma huve, tingimusel et see ei põhjusta uurimises põhjendamatuid viivitusi. 4. Kohaldatakse dumpinguvastase lepingu artiklis 6.11 ning subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu artiklis 12.9 sätestatud huvitatud isikute mõistet. & /et 111 ARTIKKEL 5.3 Dumpinguvastaste ja tasakaalustavate tollimaksude kehtestamine Otsuse selle kohta, kas kehtestatava dumpinguvastase või tasakaalustava tollimaksu summa vastab täielikule dumpingumarginaalile või subsiidiumisummale või väiksemale summale, teevad importiva lepinguosalise ametiasutused vastavalt kõnealuse lepinguosalise õigusaktidele. ARTIKKEL 5.4 Lõpliku otsuse tegemine Lepinguosaline võtab lõpliku otsuse tegemisel arvesse teavet, mille on nõuetekohaselt esitanud kõik huvitatud isikud, keda käsitatakse sellisena kooskõlas lepinguosaliste õigusaktidega.

Olenemata artiklist 5.6 esitab kaitsemeetmeid käsitlevat üldist uurimist algatada või üldisi kaitsemeetmeid võtta kavatsev lepinguosaline teise lepinguosalise taotlusel ja tingimusel, et viimasel on oluline huvi, viivitamata sellekohases kirjalikus teatises kogu asjakohase teabe, mille põhjal kaitsemeetmete üldine uurimine algatatakse või üldised kaitsemeetmed kehtestatakse, sealhulgas vajaduse korral esialgsed järeldused. See ei piira kaitsemeetmete lepingu artikli 3.2 kohaldamist. & /et 113 2. Lepinguosaline, kes kehtestab üldised kaitsemeetmed, püüab kehtestada need kahepoolset kaubandust kõige vähem kahjustaval viisil. 3. Kui lepinguosaline leiab lõike 2 kohaldamisel, et õiguslikud tingimused lõplike kaitsemeetmete võtmiseks on täidetud, ja kavatseb sellised meetmed kehtestada, teatab ta sellest teisele lepinguosalisele ning annab võimaluse pidada kahepoolseid konsultatsioone. Kui 30 päeva jooksul pärast teate esitamist ei ole rahuldavat lahendust saavutatud, võib importiv lepinguosaline võtta probleemi lahendamiseks sobiva lõpliku kaitsemeetme. 4. Käesoleva artikli kohaldamisel on lepinguosalisel oluline huvi, kui ta kuulub viimase kolme aasta jooksul imporditud kauba viie suurima tarnija hulka, mõõdetuna kas absoluutses mahus või väärtuses.

Kohanemise lihtsustamiseks olukorras, kus kahepoolse kaitsemeetme eeldatav kestus on pikem kui üks aasta, leevendab meedet kohaldav lepinguosaline meetme kohaldamise ajal seda järk-järgult ja korrapäraste ajavahemike järel. 4. Kui lepinguosaline lõpetab kahepoolse kaitsemeetme kohaldamise, on tollimaksumääraks see määr, mis oleks kehtinud toote suhtes vastavalt artiklile 2.4 „Tollimaksude kaotamine või vähendamine“. ARTIKKEL 5.12 Ajutised meetmed 1. Kriitilises olukorras, kus viivitus põhjustaks raskesti heastatavat kahju, võib lepinguosaline kohaldada kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid ajutiselt ilma artikli 5.22 lõike 1 nõudeid täitmata, kui on eelnevalt kindlaks tehtud, et on selged tõendid selle kohta, et teise lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega kauba import on käesoleva lepingu kohase tollimaksu vähendamise või kaotamise tõttu suurenenud ja et selline import põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada artiklis 5.10 või 5.15 kirjeldatud olukordi. & /et 120 2. Ajutise meetme kestus ei tohi ületada 200 päeva ja lepinguosaline peab selle aja jooksul järgima C.2. alajaos sätestatud asjakohaseid menetlusnorme.

Ajutise meetme kestus loetakse artikli 5.11 lõike 1 punktis b osutatud ajavahemiku osaks. Importiv lepinguosaline teavitab teist lepinguosalist selliste ajutiste meetmete kehtestamisest ja edastab teise lepinguosalise taotlusel küsimuse viivitamata kaubanduskomiteele läbivaatamiseks.

ARTIKKEL 5.14 Kaitsemeetmete kasutamine ja aja möödumine meetmete vahel 1. Lepinguosaline ei kohalda käesolevas jaos osutatud kaitsemeetmeid sellise toote impordi suhtes, mille suhtes on varem sellist meedet kohaldatud, välja arvatud juhul, kui on möödunud ajavahemik, mis on võrdne poolega ajavahemikust, mille jooksul kaitsemeetmeid vahetult eelnenud perioodil kohaldati. & /et 122 2. Lepinguosaline ei kohalda sama toote suhtes ja sama ajavahemiku jooksul järgmisi meetmeid: a) käesoleva lepingu kohased kahepoolsed kaitsemeetmed või ajutised kaitsemeetmed ning b) GATT 1994 XIX artikli ja kaitsemeetmete lepingu kohased kaitsemeetmed. ARTIKKEL 5.15 Äärepoolseimad piirkonnad 1. Kui Mehhiko päritolustaatusega kaupa imporditakse otse Euroopa Liidu ühe või mitme äärepoolseima piirkonna territooriumile nii suurtes kogustes ja sellistel tingimustel, et see põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada asjaomase äärepoolseima piirkonna majandusliku olukorra tõsist halvenemist, võib Euroopa Liit pärast alternatiivsete lahenduste uurimist erandkorras kehtestada kaitsemeetmed, mis piirduvad asjaomase äärepoolseima piirkonna territooriumiga. 2. Ilma et see piiraks lõike 1 kohaldamist, kohaldatakse kõiki kahepoolsete kaitsemeetmete suhtes kohaldatavaid C jao sätteid ka kõikide Euroopa Liidu äärepoolseimate piirkondadega seoses võetud kaitsemeetmete suhtes. 3. Kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid, mis piirduvad Euroopa Liidu äärepoolseimate piirkondadega, kohaldatakse ainult nende kaupade puhul, mille suhtes kohaldatakse käesoleva lepingu kohast sooduskohtlemist. & /et 123 4. Lõike 1 kohaldamisel tähendab „tõsine halvenemine“ suuri raskusi samasuguseid või otseselt konkureerivaid tooteid tootvas majandussektoris. Tõsine halvenemine tehakse kindlaks objektiivsete tegurite, sealhulgas järgmiste asjaolude alusel: a) impordimahu suurenemine absoluutarvudes või võrreldes omamaise toodangu ja muudest allikatest pärit impordiga ning b) sellise impordi mõju asjaomase tootmisharu või majandussektori olukorrale, sealhulgas müügi, tootmise, finantsolukorra ja tööhõive tasemele. C.2 ALAJAGU Kahepoolsete kaitsemeetmete suhtes kohaldatavad menetlusnormid ARTIKKEL 5.16 Kohaldatav õigus Kahepoolsete kaitsemeetmete kohaldamisel järgib pädev uurimisasutus käesoleva alajao sätteid ja kohaldab käesoleva alajaoga hõlmamata juhtudel asjaomase lepinguosalise õiguse alusel kehtestatud norme, tingimusel et need normid on C jao sätetega kooskõlas. & /et 124 ARTIKKEL 5.17 Kaitsemeetmete menetluse algatamine 1. Pädev uurimisasutus võib algatada kaitsemeetmete menetluse omamaise tootmisharu poolt või nimel esitatud kirjaliku taotluse alusel või erandlikel asjaoludel omal algatusel. Euroopa Liidu puhul võib selle taotluse esitada üks või mitu Euroopa Liidu liikmesriiki omamaise tootmisharu nimel. Taotlus loetakse esitatuks omamaise tootmisharu poolt või nimel, kui seda toetavad need omamaised tootjad, kelle toodang moodustab kokku enam kui 50 % samasuguste või otseselt konkureerivate toodete kogutoodangust, mida toodab taotlusele kas toetust või vastuseisu väljendav osa omamaisest tootmisharust. Uurimist ei algatata siiski juhul, kui taotlust sõnaselgelt toetavate omamaiste tootjate osakaal on alla 25 % omamaise tootmisharu toodetud samasuguste või otseselt konkureerivate toodete riiklikust kogutoodangust. 2. Pärast uurimise algatamist tehakse lõikes 1 osutatud taotlus, välja arvatud selles sisalduv konfidentsiaalne teave, viivitamata kättesaadavaks kõikidele, keda see võib puudutada. & /et 125 3. Kaitsemeetmete menetluse algatamisel avaldab pädev uurimisasutus teate menetluse algatamise kohta lepinguosalise ametlikus väljaandes. Teates märgitakse vajaduse korral kirjaliku taotluse esitanud üksus, asjaomane imporditud kaup, selle rubriik, alamrubriik või tariifiartikli number, mille alla see on harmoneeritud süsteemis klassifitseeritud, tehtava otsuse laad ja tähtaeg, tähtaeg, mille jooksul huvitatud isikud võivad esitada kirjalikult oma seisukohti ja teavet, koht, kus on võimalik tutvuda kirjaliku taotlusega ja muude menetluse käigus esitatud mittekonfidentsiaalsete dokumentidega, ning selle asutuse nimi, aadress ja telefoninumber, kelle poole võib pöörduda lisateabe saamiseks. Kui pädev uurimisasutus otsustab korraldada avaliku istungi, võib selle toimumise aja ja koha lisada algatamisteatesse või teatada sellest menetluse hilisemas etapis, tingimusel et sellest teatatakse aegsasti ette. Kui uurimise alguses ei ole avalikku istungit kavandatud, märgitakse algatamisteates tähtaeg, mille jooksul huvitatud isikud võivad taotleda, et pädev uurimisasutus neid suuliselt ära kuulaks. 4. Seoses kaitsemeetmete menetlusega, mis on algatatud kirjaliku taotluse alusel, mille on esitanud üksus, kes väidab, et ta esindab omamaist tootmisharu, ei avalda pädev uurimisasutus lõike 3 kohast algatamisteadet, ilma et ta oleks eelnevalt hoolikalt hinnanud, kas taotlus vastab tema õigusaktide ja lõike 1 nõuetele ning kas see sisaldab põhjendatud tõendeid selle kohta, et teise lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega kauba import on käesoleva lepingu kohase tollimaksu vähendamise või kaotamise tulemusena suurenenud ning et selline import põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada väidetavat olulist kahju või majandusolukorra tõsist halvenemist. & /et 126 ARTIKKEL 5.18 Uurimine 1. Lepinguosaline võib kohaldada kaitsemeetmeid ainult pärast seda, kui tema pädev uurimisasutus on käesolevas alajaos sätestatud menetluse kohaselt läbi viinud uurimise. Uurimine hõlmab kõikide huvitatud isikute mõistlikku avalikku teavitamist ning avalikke istungeid või muid asjakohaseid vahendeid, mille käigus importijad, eksportijad ja teised huvitatud isikud saavad esitada tõendeid ja oma seisukohti, sealhulgas võimaluse vastata teiste isikute esitatud väidetele. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema pädev uurimisasutus viib iga sellise uurimise lõpule ühe aasta jooksul pärast selle algatamist. ARTIKKEL 5.19 Olulise kahju olemasolu või selle ohu tuvastamine ja põhjuslik seos 1. Kui pädev uurimisasutus uurib, kas suurenenud import põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada olulist kahju omamaisele tootmisharule, hindab ta kõiki asjakohaseid objektiivseid ja mõõdetavaid tegureid, mis mõjutavad omamaise tootmisharu olukorda, eelkõige vaatlusaluse toote impordi kasvu määra ja kogust absoluutarvudes ja võrreldes omamaise toodanguga, suurenenud impordi osakaalu omamaisel turul ning muutusi müügi, tootmise, tootlikkuse, tootmisvõimsuse rakendamise, kasumi ja kahjumi ning tööhõive tasemes. & /et 127 2. Otsus, et suurenenud import põhjustab või ähvardab põhjustada artiklis 5.10 või 5.15 kirjeldatud olukordi, tehakse ainult juhul, kui uurimine näitab objektiivsete tõendite põhjal, et vaatlusaluse toote suurenenud impordi ja artiklis 5.10 või 5.15 kirjeldatud olukordade vahel on selge põhjuslik seos. Kui artiklis 5.10 või 5.15 kirjeldatud olukordi põhjustavad samal ajal muud tegurid kui suurenenud import, ei saa sellist kahju või selle ohtu või majandusolukorra tõsist halvenemist või selle ohtu seostada suurenenud impordiga. ARTIKKEL 5.20 Istungid Kaitsemeetmete menetluse käigus teeb pädev uurimisasutus järgmist: a) korraldab pärast mõistliku etteteatamist avaliku istungi, et võimaldada kõikidel huvitatud isikutel, keda käsitatakse sellisena asjaomase lepinguosalise õiguse kohaselt, tulla isiklikult või advokaadi vahendusel kohale, esitada tõendeid ja olla ära kuulatud seoses olulise kahju või selle ohuga või majandusliku olukorra tõsise halvenemise või selle ohuga ning asjakohase õiguskaitsevahendiga, või & /et 128 b) Euroopa Liidu puhul annab teise võimalusena kõikidele huvitatud isikutele võimaluse olla ära kuulatud, kui nad on algatamisteates sätestatud tähtaja jooksul esitanud kirjaliku taotluse, milles nad näitavad, et uurimise tulemus võib neid mõjutada ja et nende suuliseks ärakuulamiseks on erilised põhjused. ARTIKKEL 5.21 Konfidentsiaalne teave Pädev uurimisasutus käsitleb mõjuvatel põhjustel konfidentsiaalsena mis tahes teavet, mis on oma olemuselt konfidentsiaalne või mis on esitatud konfidentsiaalsena. Sellist teavet ei avalikustata ilma selle esitanud isiku loata. Konfidentsiaalset teavet esitavad isikud peavad esitama selle mittekonfidentsiaalse kokkuvõtte, või kui kõnealused isikud märgivad, et sellist teavet ei saa kokkuvõtlikult esitada, siis põhjused, miks kokkuvõtet ei saa esitada. Kokkuvõte peab olema piisavalt üksikasjalik, et võimaldada esitatud konfidentsiaalse teabe sisust mõistlikult aru saada. Kui pädev uurimisasutus leiab siiski, et konfidentsiaalsustaotlus ei ole põhjendatud, ja kui asjaomane isik ei soovi teavet avalikustada või ei luba seda üldistatud või kokkuvõtlikul kujul avalikustada, võib pädev uurimisasutus jätta sellise teabe arvesse võtmata, välja arvatud juhul, kui talle tõendatakse asjakohaste allikate põhjal, et teave on õige. & /et 129 ARTIKKEL 5.22 Vastuvõtmine, teatamine, konsulteerimine ja avaldamine 1. Kui lepinguosaline leiab, et esineb üks artiklis 5.10 või 5.15 sätestatud olukordadest, suunab ta küsimuse viivitamata kaubanduskomiteele uurimiseks. Kaubanduskomitee võib anda soovitusi, mis on vajalikud tekkinud olukorra lahendamiseks. Kui kaubanduskomitee ei ole olukorra lahendamiseks soovitust andnud või kui 30 päeva jooksul pärast küsimuse suunamist kaubanduskomiteele ei ole saavutatud muud rahuldavat lahendust, võib importiv lepinguosaline võtta kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid, mis on asjakohased olukorra lahendamiseks vastavalt C jaole. 2. Pädev uurimisasutus esitab eksportivale lepinguosalisele kogu asjakohase teabe, mis sisaldab tõendeid suurenenud impordist põhjustatud olulise kahju või selle ohu või majandusliku olukorra tõsise halvenemise või selle ohu kohta, asjaomase toote ja kavandatava kahepoolse kaitsemeetme täpset kirjeldust, kavandatava kahepoolse kaitsemeetme kehtestamise kuupäeva ja eeldatavat kestust. 3. Lepinguosaline teavitab teist lepinguosalist viivitamata kirjalikult, kui ta: a) algatab C jao kohase kahepoolsete kaitsemeetmete menetluse; b) otsustab kohaldada ajutisi kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid; & /et 130 c) teeb artikli 5.19 kohaselt kindlaks, kas suurenenud import on tekitanud olulise kahju või selle ohu või majandusliku olukorra tõsise halvenemise või selle ohu; d) otsustab kohaldada või pikendada kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid ning e) otsustab varem vastu võetud kahepoolseid kaitsemeetmeid muuta. 4. Kui lepinguosaline esitab lõike 3 punkti a kohase teate, peab see sisaldama järgmist: a) koopia taotluse avalikustatud versioonist ja selle lisadest või pädeva uurimisasutuse algatatud uurimise puhul asjakohastest dokumentidest, mis tõendavad, et artikli 5.17 nõuded on täidetud, ning küsimustiku, milles on üksikasjalikult esitatud punktid, mille kohta huvitatud isikud peavad teavet esitama, ning b) asjaomase imporditava kauba täpne kirjeldus. 5. Kui lepinguosaline esitab lõike 3 punkti b või c kohase teate, lisab ta koopia oma otsuse avalikustatud versioonist ja vajaduse korral dokumendist, milles on esitatud otsuse aluseks olev tehniline põhjendus. & /et 131 6. Kui lepinguosaline esitab lõike 3 punkti d kohase teate kahepoolse kaitsemeetme kohaldamise või pikendamise kohta, peab teade sisaldama järgmist: a) koopia tema otsuse avalikustatud versioonist ja vajaduse korral dokumendist, milles on esitatud otsuse aluseks olev tehniline põhjendus; b) tõendid olulise kahju või selle ohu kohta või majandusliku olukorra tõsise halvenemise või selle ohu kohta, mille on põhjustanud teise lepinguosalise päritolustaatusega kauba impordi suurenemine käesoleva lepingu kohase tollimaksu vähendamise või kaotamise tulemusena; c) kahepoolse kaitsemeetmega hõlmatud päritolustaatusega kauba täpne kirjeldus, sealhulgas rubriik, alamrubriik või tariifirida, mille alla see on harmoneeritud süsteemis klassifitseeritud; d) kohaldatava või pikendatava kahepoolse kaitsemeetme täpne kirjeldus; e) kahepoolse kaitsemeetme kohaldamise esialgne kuupäev, selle eeldatav kestus ja vajaduse korral meetme järkjärgulise leevendamise ajakava ning f) kahepoolse kaitsemeetme pikendamise korral tõendid asjaomase omamaise tootmisharu kohanemise kohta. & /et 132 7. Selle lepinguosalise taotlusel, keda mõjutab C jao kohane kahepoolsete kaitsemeetmete menetlus, peab teine lepinguosaline konsulteerima taotluse esitanud lepinguosalisega, et punkti 3 alapunkti a või b kohaselt esitatud teade läbi vaadata. 8. Lepinguosaline, kes kavatseb kahepoolset kaitsemeedet kohaldada või pikendada, teavitab sellest teist lepinguosalist ja annab talle võimaluse eelnevalt konsulteerida, et võimalikku kohaldamist või pikendamist arutada. Kui 30 päeva jooksul pärast teate esitamise kuupäeva ei ole rahuldavat lahendust saavutatud, võib esimene lepinguosaline kõnealust meedet kohaldada või pikendada. 9. Pädev uurimisasutus avaldab asjaomase lepinguosalise ametlikus väljaandes ka oma tähelepanekud ja põhjendatud järeldused kõikide asjakohaste faktiliste ja õiguslike asjaolude kohta, sealhulgas imporditava kauba ja olukorra kirjelduse, mis on põhjustanud meetmete kehtestamise vastavalt artiklile 5.10 või 5.15, põhjusliku seose sellise olukorra ja suurenenud impordi vahel ning meetmete vormi, taseme ja kestuse. 10. Pädev uurimisasutus käsitleb konfidentsiaalset teavet täielikult kooskõlas artikliga 5.21. & /et 133 6. PEATÜKK SANITAAR- JA FÜTOSANITAARMEETMED ARTIKKEL 6.1 Mõisted 1. Käesolevas peatükis kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „pädev asutus“ – kummagi lepinguosalise pädevad asutused, mis on nimetatud 6-A lisas; b) „erakorraline meede“ – sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeede, mida importiv lepinguosaline kohaldab teise lepinguosalise kaupade suhtes, et lahendada importiva lepinguosalise territooriumil tekkinud või tekkida ähvardav kiireloomuline probleem seoses inimeste, loomade või taimede elu või tervise kaitsega, ning c) „WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee“ – sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee, mis on loodud vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete rakendamise lepingu artiklile 12. & /et 134 2. Käesolevas peatükis kohaldatakse sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete rakendamise lepingu A lisas sätestatud mõisteid ning samuti Codex Alimentarius’e komisjoni, Maailma Loomatervise Organisatsiooni (WOAH) ja 6. detsembril 1951 Roomas allkirjastatud rahvusvahelise taimekaitsekonventsiooni mõisteid. ARTIKKEL 6.2 Eesmärgid Käesoleva peatüki eesmärgid on järgmised: a) kaitsta lepinguosaliste territooriumidel inimeste, loomade ja taimede elu ja tervist, hõlbustades ühtlasi lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust; b) tõhustada ja edendada sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu rakendamist; c) tugevdada teabevahetust, konsulteerimist ja koostööd lepinguosaliste vahel, eelkõige nende pädevate asutuste vahel; d) kanda hoolt selle eest, et lepinguosaliste sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed ei too kaasa põhjendamatuid kaubandustõkkeid; & /et 135 e) suurendada kummagi lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete ja nende rakendamise järjepidevust, kindlust ja läbipaistvust ning f) toetada rahvusvaheliste standardite, suuniste ja soovituste väljatöötamist ja vastuvõtmist asjaomaste rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonide poolt ning tõhustada nende rakendamist lepinguosaliste poolt. ARTIKKEL 6.3 Kohaldamisala Käesolevat peatükki kohaldatakse lepinguosaliste kõikide sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete suhtes, mis võivad otseselt või kaudselt mõjutada lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust. ARTIKKEL 6.4 Seos sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete rakendamise lepinguga Lepinguosalised kinnitavad oma õigusi ja kohustusi üksteise suhtes, mis tulenevad sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete rakendamise lepingust. & /et 136 ARTIKKEL 6.5 Rakendamiseks vajalikud vahendid Kumbki lepinguosaline kasutab käesoleva peatüki tulemuslikuks rakendamiseks vajalikke vahendeid. ARTIKKEL 6.6 Samaväärsus 1. Lepinguosalised mõistavad, et teise lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete samaväärsuse tunnustamine on kaubanduse lihtsustamise oluline vahend. 2. Importiv lepinguosaline tunnistab eksportiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed enda meetmetega samaväärseteks, kui eksportiv lepinguosaline tõendab importivale lepinguosalisele objektiivselt, et tema meetmega saavutatakse importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohane tase. 3. Importival lepinguosalisel on õigus teha lõplik otsus selle kohta, kas eksportiva lepinguosalise kohaldatava sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmega saavutatakse sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohane tase. & /et 137 4. Lepinguosaline võtab teise lepinguosalise meetme samaväärsuse hindamisel või kindlaksmääramisel muu hulgas ja vajaduse korral arvesse järgmist: a) WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee otsused; b) asjaomaste rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonide töö; c) teise lepinguosalisega kauplemisel saadud teadmised ja varasemad kogemused ning d) teise lepinguosalise esitatud teave. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline lähtub samaväärsuse hindamisel, kindlaksmääramisel ja säilitamisel asjaomaste rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonide standarditest, suunistest ja soovitustest või vajaduse korral riskihindamisest. 6. Kui importiv lepinguosaline saab teiselt lepinguosaliselt samaväärsuse hindamise taotluse, millele on lisatud nõutav teave, algatab ta viivitamata hindamise samaväärsuse kindlaksmääramiseks. 7. Kui importiv lepinguosaline lõpetab samaväärsuse hindamise, teatab ta oma otsusest viivitamata teisele lepinguosalisele. & /et 138 8. Kui importiv lepinguosaline on otsustanud, et ta tunnustab eksportiva lepinguosalise meedet samaväärsena, algatab importiv lepinguosaline viivitamata selle tunnustamise rakendamiseks vajalikud seadusandlikud või haldusmeetmed. 9. Ilma et see piiraks artikli 6.16 kohaldamist, kui lepinguosaline kavatseb vastu võtta meetme, mille suhtes kohaldatakse samaväärsuse kindlaksmääramist, mis mõjutab lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust, või sellist meedet muuta või see kehtetuks tunnistada, teeb kõnealune lepinguosaline järgmist: a) teatab teisele lepinguosalisele oma kavatsusest piisavalt varajases etapis, mis võimaldab teise lepinguosalise esitatud märkusi arvesse võtta; b) esitab teise lepinguosalise taotlusel teabe ja põhjendused kavandatavate muudatuste kohta. 10. Importiv lepinguosaline tunnustab samaväärsust kavandatud muudatusega seotud meetme kehtivusaja jooksul. 11. Kummagi lepinguosalise taotlusel arutavad lepinguosalised lõike 9 punkti a kohaselt teatatud kavandatavaid muudatusi. Importiv lepinguosaline vaatab põhjendamatu viivituseta kogu lõike 9 punkti b kohaselt esitatud teabe läbi. & /et 139 12. Kui lepinguosaline võtab vastu sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetme, mille suhtes kohaldatakse samaväärsuse kindlaksmääramist teise lepinguosalise poolt, muudab seda meedet või tühistab selle, tunnustab importiv lepinguosaline samaväärsust tingimusel, et eksportiva lepinguosalise meetmetega saavutatakse jätkuvalt importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohane tase. Lepinguosalise taotlusel arutavad lepinguosalised viivitamata importiva lepinguosalise tehtud otsust. ARTIKKEL 6.7 Riskihindamine 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et on oluline tagada, et nende vastavad sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed põhineksid teaduslikel põhimõtetel ning vastaksid asjakohastele rahvusvahelistele standarditele, suunistele ja soovitustele. 2. Kui lepinguosaline leiab, et teise lepinguosalise vastu võetud või kehtima jäetud konkreetne sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeede piirab või võib piirata tema eksporti ja see meede ei põhine asjakohasel rahvusvahelisel standardil, suunisel või soovitusel, või kui asjakohane standard, suunis või soovitus puudub, võib kõnealune lepinguosaline nõuda teiselt lepinguosaliselt teavet. Taotluse saanud lepinguosaline esitab taotluse esitanud lepinguosalisele põhjendused ja asjakohase teabe kõnealuse meetme kohta. & /et 140 3. Kui asjakohased teaduslikud tõendid on ebapiisavad, võib lepinguosaline sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetme ajutiselt vastu võtta olemasoleva asjakohase teabe, sealhulgas asjaomastelt rahvusvahelistelt organisatsioonidelt saadud teabe alusel. Sellisel juhul püüab kõnealune lepinguosaline hankida objektiivsemaks riskihindamiseks vajalikku lisateavet ja vaatab sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetme mõistliku aja jooksul vastavalt läbi. 4. Tunnistades lepinguosaliste õigusi ja kohustusi vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu asjakohastele sätetele, ei tõlgendata käesolevat peatükki nii, et see takistab lepinguosalisi tegemast järgmist: a) kehtestada sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse taset, mida nad peavad asjakohaseks vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu artiklile 5; b) kehtestada või säilitada heakskiitmismenetlust, mis nõuab riskihindamise läbiviimist enne, kui kõnealune lepinguosaline lubab toote oma turule, või c) võtta vastu või jätta kehtima sanitaar- või fütosanitaaralaseid kaitsemeetmeid vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu artikli 5 lõikele 7. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed ei diskrimineeri meelevaldselt ega põhjendamatult teist lepinguosalist, kui valitsevad samasugused või sarnased tingimused. Lepinguosaline ei kohalda sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmeid viisil, mis kujutaks endast lepinguosalistevahelise kaubanduse varjatud piiramist. & /et 141 6. Riskihindamist läbi viiv lepinguosaline peab tegema järgmist: a) võtma arvesse WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee asjakohaseid juhiseid ning rahvusvahelisi standardeid, suuniseid ja soovitusi; b) kaaluma riskijuhtimise meetodeid, mis ei piira kaubandust rohkem, kui on vaja sellise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse taseme saavutamiseks, mida ta peab asjakohaseks vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu artikli 5 lõikele 3, võttes arvesse tehnilist ja majanduslikku teostatavust, ning c) võtma sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohase taseme kindlaksmääramisel vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingu artikli 5 lõikele 4 arvesse eesmärki viia miinimumini negatiivne mõju kaubandusele ning valima riskijuhtimise meetodi, mis ei piira kaubandust rohkem, kui on vaja sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmete eesmärgi saavutamiseks, võttes arvesse tehnilist ja majanduslikku teostatavust. 7. Eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlusel teavitab importiv lepinguosaline eksportivat lepinguosalist edusammudest, mis on tehtud eksportiva lepinguosalise turulepääsu taotlusega seotud konkreetse riskihindamise läbiviimisel, ning protsessi käigus tekkida võivatest viivitustest. & /et 142 8. Ilma et see piiraks artikli 6.16 kohaldamist, ei tohi lepinguosaline peatada teise lepinguosalise toote importi üksnes seetõttu, et lepinguosaline vaatab oma sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmeid läbi, kui importiv lepinguosaline lubas läbivaatamise algatamise ajal teise lepinguosalise toodet importida. ARTIKKEL 6.8 Kohandamine piirkondlike tingimustega, kaasa arvatud kahjuri- või taudivabad alad ning vähese kahjuri- või taudilevikuga alad Üldine 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete kohandamine vastavalt kahjurite või taudide esinemise piirkondlikele tingimustele on loomade ja taimede elu ja tervise kaitsmise ning kaubanduse lihtsustamise oluline vahend. 2. Lepinguosalised tunnustavad kahjuri- või taudivabade alade ja vähese kahjuri- või taudilevikuga alade põhimõtteid. Selliste alade kindlaksmääramisel lähtutakse sellistest teguritest nagu geograafiline asukoht, ökosüsteemid, epidemioloogiline järelevalve ning sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarkontrolli tõhusus. & /et 143 3. Eksportiv lepinguosaline, kes väidab, et tema territooriumil asuvad alad on kahjuri- või taudivabad või vähese kahjuri- või taudilevikuga alad, peab esitama selle kohta vajalikud tõendid, et importivale lepinguosalisele objektiivselt tõendada, et need alad on praegu ja tõenäoliselt ka edaspidi vastavalt kahjuri- või taudivabad või vähese kahjuri- või taudilevikuga alad. Selleks annab eksportiv lepinguosaline importiva lepinguosalise taotlusel mõistliku juurdepääsu kontrollimiseks, katsetamiseks ja muudeks asjakohasteks menetlusteks. 4. Lõikes 2 osutatud alade kindlaksmääramisel piirkondadeks jaotamise otsustega võtavad lepinguosalised arvesse WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee asjakohaseid juhiseid ning lähtuvad meetmete võtmisel rahvusvahelistest standarditest, suunistest ja soovitustest või kui need ei võimalda saavutada lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohast taset, asjaoludele vastavast riskihindamisest. 5. Lõikes 2 osutatud alade kindlaksmääramisel võtab importiv lepinguosaline arvesse kogu eksportiva lepinguosalise ametiasutuste asjakohast teavet ja varasemat kogemust. 6. Importiv lepinguosaline võib otsustada, et eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlust kahjuri- või taudivabade või vähese kahjuri- või taudilevikuga alade tunnustamiseks võib hinnata kiirmenetluses. 7. Kui eksportiv lepinguosaline ei nõustu importiva lepinguosalise otsusega, peab importiv lepinguosaline esitama eksportivale lepinguosalisele põhjenduse. & /et 144 8. Eksportiv lepinguosaline esitab importiva lepinguosalise taotlusel täieliku selgituse ja tõendavad andmed käesoleva artikliga hõlmatud kindlaksmääramiste ja otsuste kohta. Nende protsesside käigus püüavad lepinguosalised vältida kaubanduse tarbetut häirimist. Loomad, loomsed saadused ja loomsed kõrvalsaadused 9. Lepinguosalised tunnustavad tsoonideks jagamise põhimõtet, mida nad nõustuvad kohaldama oma kaubanduses. Lepinguosalised tunnustavad ka Maailma Loomatervise Organisatsiooni määratud ametlikku loomade tervisestaatust. 10. Importiv lepinguosaline tugineb eksportiva lepinguosalise loomade tervisestaatuse kindlaksmääramisel tavaliselt eksportiva lepinguosalise esitatud tõenditele vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingule ning WOAH maismaaloomade tervise koodeksile ja WOAH veeloomade tervise koodeksile. 11. Importiv lepinguosaline hindab eksportivalt lepinguosaliselt saadud lisateavet põhjendamatu viivituseta ja tavaliselt 90 päeva jooksul pärast selle saamist. Importiv lepinguosaline võib taotleda kohapealset kontrolli eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil ning viib kontrolli läbi vastavalt artiklis 6.11 sätestatud põhimõtetele 90 päeva jooksul pärast seda, kui eksportiv lepinguosaline on kontrollitaotluse kätte saanud, kui lepinguosalised ei ole kokku leppinud teisiti. 12. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad bioturvarühmitamise mõistet ja teevad selles küsimuses koostööd. & /et 145 Taimed ja taimsed saadused 13. Lepinguosalised tunnustavad kahjurivabade alade, kahjurivabade tootmiskohtade ja kahjurivabade tootmisrajatiste, samuti vähese kahjurilevikuga alade põhimõtteid kui taimede elu ja tervise kaitsmise ja kaubanduse lihtsustamise vahendeid, nagu on kindlaks määratud asjakohastes rahvusvahelise taimekaitsekonventsiooni rahvusvahelistes fütosanitaarmeetmete standardites, mida nad nõustuvad kohaldama omavahel kaubeldavate kaupade suhtes. 14. Eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlusel võtab importiv lepinguosaline fütosanitaarmeetmete vastuvõtmisel või kehtima jätmisel arvesse kahjurivabasid alasid, kahjurivabasid tootmiskohti, kahjurivabasid tootmisrajatisi, samuti vähese kahjurilevikuga alasid, mille eksportiv lepinguosaline on kehtestanud vastavalt asjakohastele rahvusvahelistele standarditele, suunistele ja soovitustele. 15. Eksportiv lepinguosaline teeb kindlaks kahjurivabad alad, kahjurivabad tootmiskohad, kahjurivabad tootmisrajatised ja vähese kahjurilevikuga alad ning edastab selle teabe teisele lepinguosalisele. Taotluse korral esitab eksportiv lepinguosaline täieliku selgituse ja tõendavad andmed vastavalt asjakohasele rahvusvahelisele fütosanitaarmeetmete standardile või vajaduse korral muul viisil. 16. Ilma et see piiraks artikli 6.16 kohaldamist, tugineb importiv lepinguosaline põhimõtteliselt eksportiva lepinguosalise või selle osade taimede tervisestaatuse kindlaksmääramisel teabele, mille eksportiv lepinguosaline on esitanud vastavalt sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete lepingule ja asjakohasele rahvusvahelisele fütosanitaarmeetmete standardile. & /et 146 17. Importiv lepinguosaline hindab eksportivalt lepinguosaliselt saadud lisateavet põhjendamatu viivituseta ja tavaliselt 90 päeva jooksul pärast selle saamist. Importiv lepinguosaline võib taotleda kohapealset kontrolli eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil ning viib kontrolli läbi vastavalt artiklis 6.11 sätestatud põhimõtetele kuue kuu jooksul pärast eksportiva lepinguosalise kontrollimise taotluse esitamist, kui lepinguosalised ei ole kokku leppinud teisiti. Erineva ajavahemiku kokkuleppimisel võtavad lepinguosalised arvesse asjaomase kahjuri ja põllukultuuri bioloogiat. ARTIKKEL 6.9 Läbipaistvus 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et on oluline jagada pidevalt teavet oma sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete kohta ning anda teisele lepinguosalisele võimalus esitada kavandatud sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete kohta märkusi. 2. Käesoleva artikli rakendamisel võtab kumbki lepinguosaline arvesse WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee asjakohaseid juhiseid ning rahvusvahelisi standardeid, suuniseid ja soovitusi. & /et 147 3. Lepinguosaline teatab kavandatavast sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmest, mis võib mõjutada lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust, ja annab tavaliselt teisele lepinguosalisele aega vähemalt 60 päeva pärast teate saatmist kirjalike märkuste esitamiseks, välja arvatud juhul, kui tekib või ähvardab tekkida kiireloomuline probleem seoses inimeste, loomade või taimede elu või tervise kaitsega, või kui meede on kaubandust lihtsustav. Kui see on võimalik ja asjakohane, peaks kõnealune lepinguosaline andma märkuste esitamiseks aega rohkem kui 60 päeva ning kaaluma teise lepinguosalise põhjendatud taotlusi märkuste esitamise tähtaja pikendamiseks. Taotluse korral vastab lepinguosaline teise lepinguosalise kirjalikele märkustele asjakohasel viisil. 4. Lepinguosalised: a) taotlevad läbipaistvust seoses kaubanduse suhtes kohaldatavate sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmetega; b) parandavad vastastikust arusaamist kummagi lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmetest ja nende kohaldamisest ning c) vahetavad teavet sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmete väljatöötamise ja kohaldamisega seotud küsimustes, et vähendada nende negatiivset mõju lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele. & /et 148 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline esitab teise lepinguosalise taotlusel ja tavaliselt 15 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse saamist järgmise teabe: a) konkreetsete toodete impordi suhtes kohaldatavad impordinõuded ja b) konkreetsete toodete heakskiitmise taotluse läbivaatamise edenemine. 6. Lõike 4 punktis c ja lõikes 5 osutatud teave on esitatud, kui see on tehtud kättesaadavaks asjakohaste eeskirjade ja menetluste kohaselt WTO-le esitatud teatisega või kui teave on tehtud tasuta kättesaadavaks lepinguosalise avalikult juurdepääsetaval ametlikul veebisaidil. 7. Taotluse korral esitab lepinguosaline vastavalt vajadusele ja teavet edastava lepinguosalise konfidentsiaalsuse ja eraelu puutumatuse nõuetega lubatud ulatuses teisele lepinguosalisele asjakohase teabe, mida ta võttis arvesse kavandatava meetme väljatöötamisel. 8. Lepinguosaline võib taotleda, et teine lepinguosaline arutaks, kui see on asjakohane ja võimalik, mis tahes kaubandusprobleeme seoses kavandatava sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmega ning oluliselt vähem kaubandust piiravate alternatiivsete meetodite kättesaadavust kõnealuse meetme eesmärgi saavutamiseks. 9. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmeid käsitlevad teated eelistatavalt elektrooniliselt ametlikus väljaandes või veebisaidil. & /et 149 10. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetme tekstis või teatises on märgitud meetme jõustumise kuupäev ja meetme õiguslik alus. 11. Eksportiv lepinguosaline teavitab importivat lepinguosalist õigeaegselt ja asjakohaselt: a) praeguse kaubandusega seotud olulisest sanitaar- või fütosanitaaralasest ohust; b) kiireloomulistest olukordadest, kui loomade või taimede tervisestaatuse muutus eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil võib praegust kaubandust mõjutada; c) olulistest muutustest kahjurite või taudide staatuses, näiteks kahjurite või taudide esinemisest ja arengust, sealhulgas piirkondadeks jaotamise otsuste kohaldamisest, ning d) olulistest muudatustest toiduohutuse ning kahjurite või taudide ohjamise, tõrje või likvideerimise põhimõtetes või tavades, mis võivad mõjutada praegust kaubandust. 12. Kui see on võimalik ja asjakohane, peaks lepinguosaline jätma lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust mõjutada võiva sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetme avaldamise kuupäeva ja meetme jõustumise kuupäeva vahele rohkem kui kuus kuud, välja arvatud juhul, kui meede on ette nähtud inimeste, loomade või taimede elu või tervise kaitsmisega seotud kiireloomulise probleemi lahendamiseks või kui meede on kaubandust lihtsustav. 13. Lepinguosaline esitab teisele lepinguosalisele taotluse korral teabe kõigi sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmete kohta, mis on seotud toote impordiga tema territooriumile. & /et 150 ARTIKKEL 6.10 Kaubanduse lihtsustamine Heakskiitmismenetlused 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et kummalgi lepinguosalisel on õigus töötada välja ja kohaldada heakskiitmismenetlusi, et tagada importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohane tase, vähendades samal ajal negatiivset mõju kaubandusele. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kõik lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust mõjutavad sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete heakskiitmismenetlused a) toimuvad ja viiakse lõpule ilma põhjendamatu viivituseta ning b) ei toimu teist lepinguosalist meelevaldselt või põhjendamatult diskrimineerival viisil. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab tagada, et teise lepinguosalise territooriumile eksporditavad tooted vastaksid importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohasele tasemele. Selleks kehtestab ja rakendab eksportiv lepinguosaline asjakohased kontrollimeetmed, sealhulgas vajaduse korral riskipõhised kohapealsed kontrollid. Importiv lepinguosaline võib nõuda, et eksportiva lepinguosalise asjakohane pädev astutus tõendaks importivale lepinguosalisele objektiivselt, et impordinõuded on täidetud. & /et 151 4. Kui importiv lepinguosaline nõuab toote heakskiitmist enne importi, teeb ta eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlusel viivitamata kättesaadavaks teabe sanitaar- ja fütosanitaaralaste impordimenetluste kohta. Importiv lepinguosaline tagab eelkõige, et a) avaldatakse kõikide menetluste tavapärane menetlusaeg või eksportivale lepinguosalisele teatatakse taotluse korral eeldatav menetlusaeg; b) importiva lepinguosalise pädev asutus kontrollib taotluse saamisel viivitamata dokumentide täielikkust ning teavitab eksportivat lepinguosalist täpselt ja täielikult kõikidest puuduvatest elementidest; c) importiva lepinguosalise pädev asutus edastab menetluse tulemused võimalikult kiiresti, täpselt ja täielikult eksportivale lepinguosalisele, et vajaduse korral saaks võtta parandusmeetmeid, d) kui eksportiv lepinguosaline seda taotleb, jätkab importiva lepinguosalise pädev asutus võimaluse korral menetlust, isegi kui taotluses puuduvad mõned elemendid, ning e) importiva lepinguosalise pädev asutus teavitab eksportivat lepinguosalist taotluse korral menetluse etapist, sealhulgas esitatakse selgitus võimalike viivituste kohta. & /et 152 5. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab heakskiitmiseks riskihindamist, teeb ta selle riskihindamise tavatingimustes kättesaadavaks viivitamata ja tavaliselt ühe aasta jooksul pärast toote eksportimiseks vajaliku teabe saamist. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab kohaldada mõistlikke tähtaegu oma heakskiitmismenetluste kõikide etappide suhtes ja alustab neid menetlusi viivitamata pärast teiselt lepinguosaliselt taotluse saamist. 7. Kumbki lepinguosaline väldib asjatut dubleerimist ja halduskoormust seoses: a) dokumentide, teabe ja meetmetega, mida ta taotlejalt oma heakskiitmismenetluse raames nõuab, ning b) seoses teabega, mida lepinguosaline heakskiitmismenetluse raames hindab. 8. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb viivitamata kättesaadavaks kõik muudatused oma nõutavates heakskiitmismenetlustes või nendega seotud nõuetes. Välja arvatud nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud juhtudel, mis on seotud lepinguosalise kaitsetasemega, jätab kumbki lepinguosaline oma heakskiitmismenetluste või nendega seotud nõuete muudatuste avaldamise ja nende jõustumise vahele üleminekuperioodi, et teisel lepinguosalisel oleks võimalik nende muudatustega tutvuda ja nendega kohaneda. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab enne muudatuste avaldamist esitatud taotluste heakskiitmismenetlusi kohandada ja vältida nende pikenemist. Kui heakskiitmismenetluse muutmine vähendab koormust, ei tohi selle jõustumist tarbetult edasi lükata. & /et 153 9. Taotluse korral esitab lepinguosaline teisele lepinguosalisele õigeaegselt teabe heakskiitmismenetluse seisu kohta. Taimetervisega seotud eritingimused 10. Kooskõlas rahvusvahelise taimekaitsekonventsiooni raames kokku lepitud kohaldatavate standarditega säilitab kumbki lepinguosaline taimekahjuritega seotud olukorra kohta piisavat teavet, mis võib hõlmata seire-, likvideerimis- ja tõrjeprogramme ning nende tulemusi, et toetada taimekahjurite liigitamist ja põhjendada fütosanitaarseid impordimeetmeid. 11. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab koostada ja ajakohastada reguleeritud taimekahjurite loetelu nende toodete jaoks, mille puhul esineb fütosanitaarprobleeme. Loetelu sisaldab järgmist: a) karantiinsed taimekahjustajad, mida ei esine tema territooriumi üheski osas; b) karantiinsed taimekahjustajad, mida esineb, kuid mis ei ole laialt levinud ja mida ametlikult ei kontrollita, ning c) reguleeritud mittekarantiinsed taimekahjustajad. 12. Kumbki lepinguosaline kehtestab nende taimede või taimsete saaduste suhtes, mille puhul esineb fütosanitaarprobleeme, üksnes reguleeritud taimekahjurite puudumise tagavad impordinõuded. Neid impordinõudeid kohaldatakse kogu eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil, võttes arvesse piirkondlikke tingimusi. & /et 154 13. Selliste toodete saadetised, mille suhtes kehtivad fütosanitaarmeetmed, võetakse vastu eksportiva lepinguosalise esitatud piisavate tagatiste alusel ilma eelkontrolliprogramme rakendamata. Importiv lepinguosaline võib süsteemipõhise lähenemisviisi alusel delegeerida toodete kaubandusega seotud tegevused eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevale asutusele. 14. Lepinguosalised võtavad vastu ainult sellised fütosanitaarmeetmed, mis on tehniliselt põhjendatud, kooskõlas asjaomase kahjuririskiga ja on olemasolevate meetmete hulgas kõige vähem piiravad. 15. Lõigete 10–14 rakendamisel võtavad lepinguosalised arvesse asjakohast rahvusvahelist fütosanitaarmeetmete standardit. Impordi suhtes kehtivad konkreetsed sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarnõuded 16. Kui importiva lepinguosalise asjakohase kaitsetaseme saavutamiseks on olemas mitu sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeedet, alustavad lepinguosalised eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlusel tehnilist dialoogi, et vältida tarbetuid kaubandushäireid ja valida kõige otstarbekam lahendus. & /et 155 ARTIKKEL 6.11 Auditid 1. Importival lepinguosalisel on õigus auditeerida käesoleva artikli kohaselt eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevaid asutusi ja nendega seotud või nende määratud kontrollisüsteeme, et kindlaks teha, kas eksportiv lepinguosaline suudab anda nõutavaid tagatisi ning järgida importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmeid. 2. Importiv lepinguosaline võib otsustada, et eksportiva lepinguosalise ametlike kontrolli- ja sertifitseerimissüsteemide hindamise ühe vahendina on vaja läbi viia audit. Sellise auditi läbiviimisel järgitakse süsteemipõhist lähenemisviisi, mille puhul kasutatakse süsteemi menetluste, dokumentide või andmete valimi uurimist ja vajaduse korral auditi kohaldamisalasse kuuluvate rajatiste kohapealset kontrolli. 3. Selleks et kindlaks teha, kas eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevad asutused suudavad tagada ja säilitada kontrolli ning anda importivale riigile nõutavad tagatised, keskendutakse auditi raames eelkõige ametlike kontrolli- ja sertifitseerimissüsteemide tõhususe hindamisele ning eksportiva lepinguosalise suutlikkusele järgida impordi suhtes kehtivaid sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarnõudeid ja nendega seotud kontrollimeetmeid, mitte konkreetsete ettevõtete või rajatiste hindamisele. & /et 156 4. Auditi läbiviimisel võtab importiv lepinguosaline arvesse WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitee asjakohaseid juhiseid ning tegutseb kooskõlas asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste standardite, suuniste ja soovitustega. 5. Importiv lepinguosaline määrab kindlaks auditite laadi ja sageduse, võttes arvesse tootele omaseid riske, varasemate impordikontrollide tulemusi ja muud kättesaadavat teavet, näiteks eksportiva lepinguosalise pädeva asutuse läbiviidud auditeid ja kontrolle. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab vähendada auditite sagedust ja arvu. Kui importiv lepinguosaline peab vajalikuks kasutada ühe vahendina auditit, et hinnata eksportiva lepinguosalise ametlikke kontrolli- ja sertifitseerimissüsteeme ning eksportiva lepinguosalise suutlikkust järgida impordi suhtes kehtivaid sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarnõudeid ja nendega seotud kontrollimeetmeid, kohaldatakse järgmist: a) konkreetse tootega seotud esimese eksporditaotluse puhul viib importiv lepinguosaline läbi auditi teise lepinguosalise representatiivse valimi suhtes ning b) iga järgneva sama tootega seotud eksporditaotluse puhul viib importiv lepinguosaline eksportiva lepinguosalise juures auditi läbi ainult nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud juhtudel, et lühendada heakskiitmismenetluse aega. Kui importiv lepinguosaline viib läbi auditi, esitab ta eksportivale lepinguosalisele selgituse. & /et 157 7. Enne auditeerimist arutavad importiva lepinguosalise ja eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevad asutused järgmisi küsimusi ning määravad need auditikavas kindlaks: a) auditi põhjendus, eesmärgid ja ulatus; b) kriteeriumid või nõuded, mille alusel eksportivat lepinguosalist hinnatakse, ning c) auditi läbiviimise ajakava ja kord. Kui lepinguosalised ei ole kokku leppinud teisiti, esitab importiv lepinguosaline eksportivale lepinguosalisele auditikava vähemalt 30 päeva enne auditit. 8. Importiv lepinguosaline edastab eksportivale lepinguosalisele kirjalikult teabe auditi tulemuste kohta, esitades auditiaruande, mis sisaldab auditileide, järeldusi ja soovitusi. 9. Importiv lepinguosaline esitab auditiaruande kavandi eksportivale lepinguosalisele tavaliselt 30 päeva jooksul pärast auditi lõpetamist. 10. Importiv lepinguosaline annab eksportivale lepinguosalisele võimaluse esitada auditileidude kohta märkusi. Importiv lepinguosaline võib enne järelduste tegemist ja meetmete võtmist kõiki selliseid märkusi arvesse võtta. Importiv lepinguosaline esitab eksportivale lepinguosalisele kirjaliku lõpparuande tavaliselt kahe kuu jooksul pärast märkuste kättesaamise kuupäeva. & /et 158 11. Eksportiv lepinguosaline teatab importivale lepinguosalisele kõikidest importiva lepinguosalise leidude ja järelduste põhjal võetud parandusmeetmetest. 12. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kehtestatud on menetlused, mis takistavad eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevate asutuste auditi käigus saadud konfidentsiaalse teabe avalikustamist, sealhulgas menetlused, millega eemaldatakse konfidentsiaalne teave lõplikust auditiaruandest enne aruande avalikustamist. 13. Auditi tulemusel võetavad meetmed peavad olema proportsionaalsed tuvastatud riskidega ega tohi piirata kaubandust rohkem, kui on vaja importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohase taseme saavutamiseks. Taotluse korral korraldatakse kooskõlas artikliga 6.19 olukorda käsitlevad konsultatsioonid. Lepinguosalised võtavad arvesse nende konsultatsioonide käigus saadud teavet. 14. Kumbki lepinguosaline kannab ise auditiga seotud kulud. ARTIKKEL 6.12 Impordikontrollid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema impordikontrollid on riskipõhised, need viiakse läbi põhjendamatu viivituseta ning neid kohaldatakse proportsionaalselt ja mittediskrimineerivalt. & /et 159 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et teise lepinguosalise territooriumile eksporditavad tooted vastavad importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarnõuetele. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline esitab taotluse korral teisele lepinguosalisele teabe oma impordimenetluste kohta, sealhulgas sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmetega seotud impordikontrollide sageduse kohta ning asjaolude kohta, mida ta võtab impordiga seotud riskide kindlaksmääramisel arvesse. 4. Kui impordikontrolli käigus selgub, et toode ei vasta olulistele impordinõuetele, peab importiv lepinguosaline tegema järgmist: a) võtma meetmeid asjaomase riski hindamise alusel ja tagama, et meetmed ei piira kaubandust rohkem, kui on vaja sanitaar- või fütosanitaarkaitse asjakohase taseme saavutamiseks; b) teavitama importijat või tema esindajat mittevastavuse põhjustest, meetme õiguslikust alusest ja vajaduse korral kõnealuse saadetise kõrvaldamise kohast ning c) andma importijale või tema esindajale võimaluse esitada lisateavet, mis aitaks sellel lepinguosalisel otsust teha. & /et 160 5. Kui lepinguosaline keelab impordikontrolli negatiivse tulemuse alusel teise lepinguosalise kauba impordi või piirab seda, esitab importiv lepinguosaline kooskõlas oma õigusaktidega eksportiva lepinguosalise pädeva asutuse või saadetise eest vastutava ettevõtja taotlusel tavapäraste kanalite kaudu kirjalikult keelamise või piiramise põhjuse, meetme õigusliku aluse või loa selle võtmiseks ning vajaduse korral teabe kõnealuse saadetise kõrvaldamise koha kohta21. 6. Kui tagasilükatud saadetisega on kaasas sanitaar- või fütosanitaarsertifikaat, teavitab importiv lepinguosaline sellest eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevat asutust ja esitab kogu asjakohase teabe, sealhulgas meetme õigusliku aluse, üksikasjalikud laboriuuringute tulemused ja meetodid. Importiv lepinguosaline säilitab füüsilised ja elektroonilised dokumendid analüüsitava valimi identifitseerimise, kogumise, proovide võtmise, transpordi ja ladustamise ning kasutatud analüüsimeetodite kohta. Samuti teavitab importiv lepinguosaline importijat või tema esindajat selle saadetise kõrvaldamisest. Kahjurite avastamise korral tuleb teatises võimaluse korral märkida kahjurid liikide kaupa. 7. Kui importiv lepinguosaline teeb kindlaks olulise, püsiva või korduva mittevastavuse sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmele, teatab importiv lepinguosaline sellest mittevastavusest eksportivale lepinguosalisele. 21 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et selle artikli sätted ei takista importivat lepinguosalist kõrvaldamast saadetist, milles on leitud nakkusohtlik patogeen või kahjur, mis võib kiireloomuliste meetmete võtmata jätmise korral levida ja kahjustada inimeste, loomade või taimede elu või tervist selle lepinguosalise territooriumil. & /et 161 8. Olenemata lõikest 6 esitab importiv lepinguosaline eksportivale lepinguosalisele taotluse korral olemasoleva teabe eksportiva lepinguosalise kaupade kohta, mille puhul on leitud mittevastavus importiva lepinguosalise sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmele. 9. Sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmete järgimise kontrollimiseks ja tagamiseks kehtestatud tasud ei tohi olla suuremad kui teenuse tegelik maksumus. ARTIKKEL 6.13 Sertifitseerimine 1. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab kauba importimiseks sanitaar- või fütosanitaarsertifikaati, peab see sertifikaat põhinema Codex Alimentarius’e komisjoni, rahvusvahelise taimekaitsekonventsiooni ja Maailma Loomatervise Organisatsiooni rahvusvahelistel standarditel. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema sertifikaadid, sealhulgas kõik tõendid, on koostatud viisil, millega välditakse tarbetut koormust lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele. 3. Importiv lepinguosaline esitab taotluse korral teisele lepinguosalisele viivitamata teabe konkreetse toote puhul nõutavate sertifikaatide kohta. 4. Lepinguosalised tugevdavad oma koostööd sertifikaatide näidiste väljatöötamisel, et vähendada halduskoormust ja hõlbustada juurdepääsu oma vastavatele turgudele. & /et 162 5. Lepinguosalised soodustavad elektroonilise sertifitseerimise ja muude tehnoloogialahenduste rakendamist, et lihtsustada omavahelist kaubandust. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline aktsepteerib originaalsertifikaatide esitamist kas paberkandjal või turvalise elektroonilise andmeedastusmeetodi kaudu, mis annab võrdväärsed sertifitseerimistagatised. Eksportiv lepinguosaline võib esitada ametliku sertifikaadi elektrooniliselt, kui importiv lepinguosaline on kindlaks teinud, et on antud samaväärsed turvatagatised, mis hõlmab digitaalallkirja kasutamist ja dokumendi autentsuse tagamist. ARTIKKEL 6.14 Sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete kohaldamine 1. Ilma et see piiraks artikli 6.8 kohaldamist, kohaldab kumbki lepinguosaline oma sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmeid teise lepinguosalise territooriumil. 2. Meelevaldse või põhjendamatu diskrimineerimise vältimiseks kohaldatakse eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil, kus kehtivad samasugused või sarnased sanitaar- või fütosanitaartingimused, samu impordinõudeid. & /et 163 3. Konkreetse tootega seotud esimese eksporditaotluse puhul alustab importiv lepinguosaline viivitamata teise lepinguosalise või vajaduse korral ühe või mitme Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi taotluse heakskiitmise menetlust. Heakskiitmismenetlus järgib artiklis 6.10 sätestatud menetlust ning samasuguste või sarnaste sanitaar- või fütosanitaartingimustega liikmesriikide rühma taotluse puhul ei tohi see võtta kauem aega kui ühe liikmesriigi taotluse puhul. 4. Sama tootega seotud järgmise eksporditaotluse puhul kiidab importiv lepinguosaline taotluse heaks hiljemalt kuus kuud pärast taotluse saamist, välja arvatud nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud juhtudel. Teabenõuded peavad piirduma üksnes vajalikuga ja neis tuleb arvesse võtta importivale lepinguosalisele juba kättesaadavat teavet, näiteks teavet õigusraamistiku ja varasemate auditiaruannete kohta. ARTIKKEL 6.15 Liigsete kontrollimeetmete kaotamine 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et eksportiv lepinguosaline vastutab selle eest, et ekspordikõlblikud ettevõtted, rajatised ja tooted vastaksid importiva lepinguosalise kohaldatavatele sanitaarnõuetele. & /et 164 2. Kui importival lepinguosalisel on nimekiri konkreetse kauba importimiseks heakskiidetud ettevõtetest või rajatistest, kiidab ta eksportiva lepinguosalise taotlusel, millele on lisatud asjakohased tagatised, eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil asuva ettevõtte või rajatise ilma seda eelnevalt kontrollimata heaks järgmistel tingimustel ja korras: a) importiv lepinguosaline on andnud kauba importimiseks loa eksportiva lepinguosalise pädevate asutuste kohaldatava loomatervise ja toiduohutuse tingimusi puudutava kontrollisüsteemi tehtud hindamise alusel; b) eksportiva lepinguosalise pädev asutus on asjaomase ettevõtte või rajatise heaks kiitnud; c) eksportiva lepinguosalise pädeval asutusel on volitus asjaomasele ettevõttele või rajatisele antud heakskiit peatada või tühistada ning d) eksportiv lepinguosaline on esitanud importiva lepinguosalise nõutud teabe. 3. Importiv lepinguosaline kannab ettevõtted või rajatised heakskiidetud ettevõtete või rajatiste nimekirja tavaliselt 45 päeva jooksul pärast eksportiva lepinguosalise taotluse kättesaamist. Nimekiri tehakse üldsusele kättesaadavaks. & /et 165 4. Importival lepinguosalisel on õigus eksportiva lepinguosalise kontrollisüsteemi pärast ekspordiloa andmist auditeerida. Need auditid võivad hõlmata heakskiidetud ettevõtete või rajatiste nimekirja kantud representatiivse arvu heakskiidetud ettevõtete või rajatiste kohapealset kontrolli või nende ettevõtete või rajatiste kontrolli, mille heakskiitmist on eksportiv lepinguosaline taotlenud. Kui importiv lepinguosaline avastab auditi tulemusel korduvaid tõsiseid mittevastavuse juhtumeid, võib importiv lepinguosaline eksportiva lepinguosalise pädeva asutuse kontrollisüsteemi tunnustamise peatada. 5. Nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud asjaoludel võib importiv lepinguosaline keelduda selliste ettevõtete või rajatiste heakskiitmisest, mida peetakse tema nõuetele mittevastavaks. Sellisel juhul teavitab importiv lepinguosaline eksportivat lepinguosalist ettevõtete või rajatiste heakskiitmisest keeldumisest ja esitab keeldumise põhjenduse. 6. Importiv lepinguosaline võib heakskiitmismenetluse raames läbi viia artikli 6.11 kohaseid auditeid. Sellised auditid piirduvad ettevõtte või rajatise heakskiitmise eest vastutava pädeva asutuse struktuuri, korralduse ja kohustustega ning importiva lepinguosalise nõuetele vastavusega seotud sanitaartagatistega. Need auditid võivad hõlmata heakskiidetud ettevõtete või rajatiste nimekirja kantud representatiivse arvu heakskiidetud ettevõtete või rajatiste kohapealset kontrolli või nende ettevõtete või rajatiste kontrolli, mille heakskiitmist on eksportiv lepinguosaline taotlenud. 7. Importiv lepinguosaline võib auditi tulemuste põhjal ettevõtete või rajatiste nimekirja muuta. 8. Käesolevat artiklit ei kohaldata taimede ja taimsete saadustega seotud meetmete suhtes. & /et 166 ARTIKKEL 6.16 Erakorralised meetmed 1. Importiv lepinguosaline võib mõjuvatel põhjustel vastu võtta ajutiselt erakorralisi meetmeid, mis on vajalikud inimeste, loomade või taimede elu või tervise kaitsmiseks. 2. Erakorralist meedet vastu võttev lepinguosaline teatab sellest viivitamata kirjalikult teisele lepinguosalisele. Erakorralise meetme vastu võtnud lepinguosaline võtab arvesse teise lepinguosalise esitatud teavet. 3. Pärast erakorralise meetme vastuvõtmist vaatab lepinguosaline selle põhjendused tavaliselt kuue kuu jooksul läbi, tingimusel et asjakohane teave on kättesaadav, ja teavitab taotluse korral teist lepinguosalist läbivaatamise tulemustest. Lepinguosaline ei jäta erakorralist meedet kehtima, välja arvatud juhul, kui kiireloomuline probleem või oht püsib. Kui lepinguosaline jätab erakorralise meetme kehtima, tuleks see meede korrapäraselt läbi vaadata. 4. Erakorralise meetme vastu võtnud lepinguosaline peab tarbetute kaubandushäirete vältimiseks pakkuma kõige sobivamat ja proportsionaalsemat lahendust lepinguosaliste vahel veetavate saadetiste jaoks, võttes arvesse tuvastatud riski. & /et 167 ARTIKKEL 6.17 Koostöö 1. Lepinguosalised uurivad kooskõlas käesoleva peatükiga võimalusi lepinguosalistevaheliseks edasiseks koostööks ja teabevahetuseks vastastikust huvi pakkuvates sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimustes. Nende võimaluste hulka võivad kuuluda kaubanduse lihtsustamise algatused. 2. Lepinguosalised teevad koostööd, et hõlbustada käesoleva peatüki rakendamist, ning võivad ühiselt määrata kindlaks sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimusi käsitlevad algatused, et kõrvaldada tarbetud kaubandustõkked lepinguosaliste vahel. 3. Lepinguosalised võivad edendada koostööd kõikidel mitmepoolsetel foorumitel, eelkõige asjaomaste rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonidega. ARTIKKEL 6.18 Teabevahetus Ilma et see piiraks käesoleva peatüki muude sätete kohaldamist, võib lepinguosaline nõuda teiselt lepinguosaliselt teavet käesoleva peatüki kohaldamisel tekkivate küsimuste kohta. Taotluse saanud lepinguosaline püüab kooskõlas oma konfidentsiaalsus- ja privaatsusnõuetega esitada kättesaadava teabe taotluse esitanud lepinguosalisele mõistliku aja jooksul ja võimaluse korral elektrooniliselt. & /et 168 ARTIKKEL 6.19 Konsultatsioonid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib taotleda konsultatsioone sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmetega seotud konkreetsete kaubandusprobleemide üle. 2. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, korraldavad nad kõnealused konsultatsioonid 30 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse saamist. 3. Lepinguosalised püüavad esitada kogu asjakohase teabe, mis on vajalik selleks, et jõuda mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldava lahenduseni, millega välditakse tarbetuid kaubandushäireid. ARTIKKEL 6.20 Kontaktpunktid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline määrab käesoleva peatüki rakendamiseks kontaktpunkti ja teatab teisele lepinguosalisele selle kontaktandmed, sealhulgas vastutava ametniku nime. 2. Lepinguosalised teavitavad teineteist viivitamata kõnealuste kontaktandmete muutumisest. & /et 169 ARTIKKEL 6.21 Sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete allkomitee 1. Artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti e kohaselt moodustatud sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete allkomitee teeb järgmist: a) pakub foorumit, et parandada lepinguosaliste arusaamist käesoleva peatüki rakendamisega seotud sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimustest, sealhulgas sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmetega seotud reguleerimisprotsessidest; b) jälgib käesoleva peatüki rakendamist ja kaalub kõiki käesoleva peatükiga seotud küsimusi, sealhulgas kõiki küsimusi, mis võivad selle rakendamisel tekkida; c) pakub foorumit, kus arutatakse sanitaar- või fütosanitaarmeetmete kohaldamisest tulenevaid probleeme, et jõuda mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldavate lahendusteni ja käsitleda kiiresti kõiki küsimusi, mis võivad tekitada tarbetuid takistusi lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele; d) vahetab teavet, eriteadmisi ja kogemusi sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimustes. 2. Sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete allkomitee võib a) määrata kindlaks sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmetega seotud koostöövaldkonnad, mis võib hõlmata tehnilist abi; & /et 170 b) edendada koostööd sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarküsimustes, mida arutatakse mitmepoolsetel foorumitel, sealhulgas WTO sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete komitees ning rahvusvahelistes standardiorganisatsioonides, ning c) luua lepinguosaliste ekspertide esindajatest koosnevad töörühmad, mis tegelevad konkreetsete sanitaar- või fütosanitaarküsimustega ja kuhu võib kehtestatava korra kohaselt kutsuda osalema teisi eksperte, sealhulgas vabaühenduste esindajaid. & /et 171 7. PEATÜKK KOOSTÖÖ LOOMADE HEAOLU JA ANTIMIKROOBIKUMIRESISTENTSUSE VALDKONNAS ARTIKKEL 7.1 Eesmärgid Käesoleva peatüki eesmärk on luua dialoogi- ja koostööraamistik, et parandada loomade kaitset ja heaolu ning jõuda ühisele arusaamisele loomade heaolu standardite osas ja tugevdada võitlust antimikroobikumiresistentsuse tekkimise vastu. ARTIKKEL 7.2 Loomade heaolu 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et loomad on aistimisvõimelised olendid. & /et 172 2. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad Maailma Loomatervise Organisatsiooni (WOAH) loomade heaolu standardite tähtsust ja püüavad parandada nende rakendamist, austades ühtlasi oma õigust määrata oma teaduspõhiste meetmete tase WOAH loomade heaolu standardite alusel. 3. Lepinguosalised püüavad teha koostööd rahvusvahelistel foorumitel, et edendada loomade heaolu puudutavate heade tavade edasist väljatöötamist ja rakendamist. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad loomade heaolu valdkonnas tehtava tihedama teaduskoostöö tähtsust. ARTIKKEL 7.3 Antimikroobikumiresistentsus 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et antimikroobikumiresistentsus kujutab endast tõsist ohtu inimeste ja loomade tervisele. Antimikroobikumide väärkasutamine loomakasvatuses, sealhulgas nende kasutamine muul otstarbel kui raviks, võib soodustada antimikroobikumiresistentsuse teket, mis võib ohustada inimeste ja loomade tervist. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et ohu laadi tõttu on vaja riikidevahelist ja terviseühtsuse22 põhimõttel põhinevat lähenemisviisi. 2. Lepinguosalised teevad koostööd, et vähendada antimikroobikumide kasutamist loomakasvatuses ja keelata nende kasutamine kasvu soodustava vahendina, eesmärgiga võidelda antimikroobikumiresistentsuse vastu kooskõlas terviseühtsuse põhimõttega. 22 Maailma Terviseorganisatsiooni (WHO) määratluse kohaselt on terviseühtsus põhimõte, mis ühendab eri sektorite poliitikameetmeid, et saavutada paremaid tulemusi rahvatervise valdkonnas. & /et 173 3. Lepinguosalised teevad koostööd ning järgivad asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonide, algatuste ja riiklike kavade raames välja töötatud olemasolevaid ja tulevasi suuniseid, standardeid, soovitusi ja meetmeid, mille eesmärk on edendada antimikroobikumide ettevaatlikku ja vastutustundlikku kasutamist loomakasvatuses ja veterinaarias. 4. Lepinguosalised edendavad koostööd kõikidel mitmepoolsetel foorumitel, eelkõige rahvusvahelistes standardiorganisatsioonides. ARTIKKEL 7.4 Loomade heaolu ja antimikroobikumiresistentsuse töörühm 1. Lepinguosalised püüavad vahetada teavet, eriteadmisi ja kogemusi loomade heaolu ja antimikroobikumiresistentsuse vastase võitluse valdkonnas, eesmärgiga rakendada artikleid 7.2 ja 7.3. 2. Selleks loovad lepinguosalised loomade heaolu ja antimikroobikumiresistentsuse töörühma, mis jagab vajaduse korral teavet sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmete allkomiteega. Lepinguosaliste esindajad töörühmas võivad ühiselt otsustada kutsuda konkreetsete tegevuste jaoks eksperte. & /et 174 ARTIKKEL 7.5 Vaidluste lahendamise kohaldamata jätmine Lepinguosaline ei saa kasutada käesoleva peatüki sätete tõlgendamisel või kohaldamisel 31. peatüki „Vaidluste lahendamine“ kohast vaidluste lahendamist. & /et 175 8. PEATÜKK LEPINGUOSALISTE ENERGIASEKTORI REGULEERIMISE ÕIGUSE TUNNUSTAMINE ARTIKKEL 8.1 Lepinguosaliste energiasektori reguleerimise õiguse tunnustamine 1. Lepinguosalised kinnitavad, et nad austavad täielikult üksteise suveräänsust, mis hõlmab kõigi nende territooriumi aluspinnases asuvate süsivesinike omandiõigust ja haldamist riigi või asjaomaste ametiasutuste poolt, ning üksteise suveräänset õigust reguleerida käesolevas peatükis käsitletud küsimusi kooskõlas oma vastavate õigusaktidega, lähtudes täiel määral oma demokraatlikest protsessidest. 2. Mehhiko puhul tunnistab Euroopa Liit, ilma et see piiraks tema käesolevast lepingust tulenevaid õigusi ja õiguskaitsevahendeid23, et: a) Mehhiko jätab omale suveräänse õiguse reformida oma põhiseadust (Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos) ja oma energiasektorit, sealhulgas süsivesinikke ja elektrit käsitlevat seadusandlust. 23 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et need õigused ja õiguskaitsevahendid hõlmavad õigusi ja õiguskaitsevahendeid, mis tulenevad 10. peatüki „Investeeringud“ ja sellega seotud lisade sätetest tulenevaid Mehhiko kohustusi. & /et 176 b) Mehhikol on oma põhiseadusest tulenevalt otsene, võõrandamatu ja aegumatu omandiõigus kõigile süsivesinikele riigi territooriumi, k.a mandrilava ja väljaspool territoriaalmerd või sellega piirnev majandusvöönd, aluspinnases, pinnasekihtides või maardlates, sõltumata nende füüsilisest seisundist; ja c) Mehhiko jätab omale suveräänse õiguse võtta vastu või säilitada energiasektori, sealhulgas süsivesinike ja elektriga seotud meetmeid. & /et 177 9. PEATÜKK TEHNILISED KAUBANDUSTÕKKED ARTIKKEL 9.1 Eesmärk Käesoleva peatüki eesmärk on lihtsustada lepinguosalistevahelist kaubavahetust, hoides ära, tehes kindlaks ja kõrvaldades tarbetud tehnilised kaubandustõkked, suurendades läbipaistvust ja edendades tihedamat regulatiivset koostööd. ARTIKKEL 9.2 Kohaldamisala 1. Käesolevat peatükki kohaldatakse kõikide selliste tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu 1. lisas sätestatud standardite, tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste väljatöötamise, vastuvõtmise ja kohaldamise suhtes, mis võivad mõjutada lepinguosalistevahelist kaubavahetust. & /et 178 2. Olenemata lõikest 1 ei kohaldata käesolevat peatükki järgmise suhtes: a) tehnilised kirjeldused, mille on koostanud hankijad seoses oma tootmis- või tarbimisnõuetega, või b) sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed, mida on käsitletud 6. peatükis „Sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed“. 3. Kõik käesolevas peatükis esitatud viited standarditele, tehnilistele normidele ja vastavushindamismenetlustele hõlmavad neisse tehtud muudatusi ja nende eeskirjadesse või nendega hõlmatud toodete loetellu tehtud täiendusi, välja arvatud ebaolulised muudatused ja täiendused. ARTIKKEL 9.3 Suhe tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepinguga Tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklid 2–9 ning 1. ja 3. lisa inkorporeeritakse käesolevasse lepingusse ja muudetakse mutatis mutandis selle osaks. & /et 179 ARTIKKEL 9.4 Rahvusvahelised standardid 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et rahvusvahelistel standarditel, suunistel ja soovitustel võib olla oluline roll õigusnormide suurema ühtlustamise ja heade tavade toetamisel ning tarbetute tehniliste kaubandustõkete vähendamisel. Selleks kasutavad lepinguosalised oma tehniliste normide alusena asjakohaseid rahvusvahelisi standardeid, välja arvatud juhul, kui tehnilist normi koostav lepinguosaline suudab tõendada, et need rahvusvahelised standardid oleksid taotletavate õiguspäraste eesmärkide saavutamiseks ebatõhusad või asjakohatud. 2. Lisaks tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklites 2 ja 5 ning 3. lisas sätestatud kohustustele võtab kumbki lepinguosaline muu hulgas arvesse WTO tehniliste kaubandustõkete komitee poolt alates 1. jaanuarist 1995 vastu võetud otsuseid ja soovitusi24. 3. Rahvusvaheliste organisatsioonide standardeid, sealhulgas 9-A lisas loetletud standardeid, peetakse asjakohasteks rahvusvahelisteks standarditeks, tingimusel et need organisatsioonid on standardite väljatöötamisel järginud põhimõtteid ja menetlusi, mis on sätestatud WTO tehniliste kaubandustõkete komitee otsuses rahvusvaheliste standardite, juhendite ja soovituste väljatöötamise põhimõtete kohta25. 24 WTO 8. märtsi 2017. aasta dokument G/TBT/1/Rev. 13, sh kõik muudatused. 25 WTO 8. märtsi 2017. aasta dokument G/TBT/1/Rev. 13, sh kõik muudatused. & /et 180 4. Kummagi lepinguosalise taotlusel võib kaubanduskomitee oma otsusega 9-A lisas esitatud loetelu ajakohastada. 5. Selleks et ühtlustada standardeid võimalikult laialdaselt, julgustab kumbki lepinguosaline oma territooriumil asuvaid standardiorganisatsioone ning neid piirkondlikke standardiorganisatsioone, mille liikmeks lepinguosaline või tema territooriumil asuvad standardiorganisatsioonid on, tegema järgmist: a) osalema vastavalt oma võimalustele asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonide töös rahvusvaheliste standardite väljatöötamisel; b) kasutama standardite väljatöötamiseks asjakohaseid rahvusvahelisi standardeid, välja arvatud juhul, kui sellised rahvusvahelised standardid oleksid õiguspäraste eesmärkide saavutamiseks ebatõhusad või asjakohatud ebapiisava kaitsetaseme, oluliste klimaatiliste või geograafiliste tegurite või oluliste tehnoloogiaprobleemide tõttu; c) tagama, et nende tegevus ei dubleeriks rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonide tööd ega kattuks sellega; d) vaatama korrapäraselt läbi riiklikud ja piirkondlikud standardid, mis ei põhine asjakohastel rahvusvahelistel standarditel, et lähendada neid asjaomastele rahvusvahelistele standarditele; & /et 181 e) tegema teise lepinguosalise asjaomaste standardiorganisatsioonidega rahvusvahelises standardimistegevuses koostööd, eesmärgiga tagada, et rahvusvahelised standardid, suunised ja soovitused, mis tõenäoliselt saavad tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste aluseks, ei looks tarbetuid takistusi rahvusvahelisele kaubandusele; koostööd võib teha nii rahvusvaheliste standardiorganisatsioonide tasandil kui ka piirkondlikul tasandil; f) soodustama kahepoolset koostööd teise lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvate standardiorganisatsioonidega, samuti piirkondlike standardiorganisatsioonidega, mille liikmeks teine lepinguosaline või tema territooriumil asuvad standardiorganisatsioonid on; g) avalikustama veebisaidil oma tööprogrammid, sealhulgas loetelu hetkel koostatavatest ja juba vastu võetud standarditest. 6. Käesoleva peatüki artiklit 9.6 ja tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklit 2 või 5 kohaldatakse tehnilise normi eelnõu või vastavushindamismenetluse eelnõu suhtes, millega muudetakse standard inkorporeerimise või viitamise kaudu kohustuslikuks. & /et 182 ARTIKKEL 9.5 Vastavushindamised 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et vastavushindamise tulemuste tunnustamise hõlbustamiseks on olemas erinevad mehhanismid, sealhulgas järgmised: a) lepinguosaliste territooriumidel asuvate vastavushindamisasutuste vahelised vabatahtlikud kokkulepped; b) kokkulepped teise lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvate asutuste poolt konkreetsete tehniliste normidega seoses läbiviidud vastavushindamismenetluste tulemuste vastastikuse tunnustamise kohta; c) akrediteerimismenetluste kasutamine vastavushindamisasutuste kvalifitseerimiseks; d) vastavushindamisasutuste määramine või vajaduse korral heakskiitmine valitsuse poolt; e) lepinguosalise poolt teise lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvate vastavushindamisasutuste tulemuste tunnustamine ning f) tarnija vastavusdeklaratsiooni aktsepteerimine importiva lepinguosalise poolt. & /et 183 2. Tunnistades, et lepinguosaliste territooriumidel kohaldatakse erinevaid vastavushindamismenetlusi: a) kohaldab Euroopa Liit vastavalt oma õigusnormidele tarnija vastavusdeklaratsiooni korda ning b) Mehhiko aktsepteerib oma õigusnormidega ettenähtud viisil ja ilma täiendavate nõueteta Mehhiko tehniliste normide, sealhulgas pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist vastuvõetud tehniliste normide nõuetele vastavuse tõendina sertifikaate, mille on välja andnud Euroopa Liidu territooriumil asuvad vastavushindamisasutused, mis on akrediteeritud Mehhiko akrediteerimisasutuse poolt ja mille pädev asutus on heaks kiitnud. Sellega seoses võimaldab Mehhiko Euroopa Liidu territooriumil asuvatele vastavushindamisasutustele vähemalt sama soodsat kohtlemist kui oma territooriumil asuvatele vastavushindamisasutustele. Käesoleva lõike sätted ei takista Mehhikot kontrollimast üksikute vastavushindamismenetluste tulemusi, kui ta ei nõua, et toote suhtes kohaldataks Mehhiko territooriumil vastavushindamismenetlusi, mis dubleerivad Euroopa Liidu territooriumil juba läbiviidud vastavushindamismenetlusi, välja arvatud pisteliselt või harva järelevalve või auditi eesmärgil või vastusena mittevastavusele viitava teabe korral. & /et 184 3. Olenemata lõikest 2 võib lepinguosaline kehtestada nõuded toodete kohustuslikuks katsetamiseks või sertifitseerimiseks kolmanda isiku poolt, kui inimeste tervise ja ohutuse kaitsega seotud kaalukad põhjused õigustavad selliste nõuete või sertifitseerimise kehtestamist. 4. Käesolev artikkel ei takista lepinguosalist nõudmast, et konkreetsete toodete vastavushindamist teeksid selle lepinguosalise kindlaksmääratud valitsusasutused. Sellistel juhtudel peab lepinguosaline tegema järgmist: a) piirama vastavushindamise eest makstavate tasude suuruse osutatud teenuste ligikaudse maksumusega ja vastavushindamise taotleja taotluse korral selgitama, kuidas tema kehtestatud tasude suurus piirdub osutatud teenuste ligikaudse maksumusega; b) tegema teabe vastavushindamise tasude kohta üldsusele kättesaadavaks ning c) teise lepinguosalise taotlusel ja lisaks tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklites 5.2.3, 5.2.4 ja 5.2.8 sätestatud kohustustele selgitama: i) kuidas nõutav teave on vajalik vastavuse hindamiseks ja tasude määramiseks; ii) kuidas lepinguosaline tagab, et nõutava teabe konfidentsiaalsus on tagatud viisil, mis tagab õigustatud ärihuvide kaitse, ning & /et 185 iii) milline on vastavushindamismenetluse läbiviimisega seotud kaebuste läbivaatamise menetlus. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab internetis, eelistatavalt ühel veebisaidil, järgmise teabe: a) kõik menetlused, kriteeriumid ja muud tingimused, mille alusel ta võib otsustada, kas vastavushindamisasutused on pädevad akrediteeringu, heakskiidu, määramise või muu tunnustuse saamiseks, sealhulgas tunnustamiseks vastastikuse tunnustamise lepingu alusel, kui see on kohaldatav, ning b) nende asutuste loetelu, mille ta on heaks kiitnud, määranud või mida ta on muul viisil tunnustanud sellist vastavushindamist tegema, ning asjakohane teave iga asutuse heakskiitmise, määramise või muu tunnustamise ulatuse kohta. 6. Lepinguosaline võib esitada teisele lepinguosalisele põhjendatud taotluse alustada läbirääkimisi, et sõlmida vastastikuse tunnustamise leping, mis käsitleb vastavushindamismenetluste tulemuste vastastikust tunnustamist konkreetses sektoris. Kui teine lepinguosaline keeldub sellistest läbirääkimistest, peab ta oma otsust põhjendama. 7. Artiklit 9.7 kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis vastavushindamismenetluste suhtes. & /et 186 8. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab vastavushindamismenetlust, peab ta a) valima vastavushindamismenetlused, mis on proportsionaalsed riskihindamise alusel kindlaks määratud riskidega, ning b) andma teisele lepinguosalisele taotluse korral teavet kriteeriumide kohta, mida kasutatakse konkreetsete toodete vastavushindamismenetluses. 9. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab kolmanda isiku poolt läbiviidavat vastavushindamismenetlust ja ta ei ole seda ülesannet usaldanud lõikes 4 osutatud konkreetsele valitsusasutusele, peab ta tegema järgmist: a) kasutama vastavushindamisasutuste kvalifitseerimiseks eelistatavalt akrediteerimismenetlust; b) kasutama parimal viisil akrediteerimise ja vastavushindamise rahvusvahelisi standardeid, samuti lepinguosaliste akrediteerimisasutusi kaasavaid rahvusvahelisi lepinguid, näiteks rahvusvahelise laborite akrediteerimise koostööorganisatsiooni (ILAC) ja rahvusvahelise akrediteerimisfoorumi (IAF) mehhanismide kaudu; c) ühinema või vajaduse korral julgustama oma vastavushindamisasutusi ühinema toimivate rahvusvaheliste lepingute või kokkulepetega vastavushindamistulemuste ühtlustamiseks või heakskiitmise hõlbustamiseks; & /et 187 d) tagama, et kui konkreetse toote või tootekomplekti jaoks on määratud rohkem kui üks vastavushindamisasutus, on ettevõtjatel võimalik valida, kes neist vastavushindamismenetlust läbi viib; e) tagama, et akrediteerimisasutuste ja vastavushindamisasutuste vahel puudub huvide konflikt, ning f) lubama vastavushindamisasutustel tugineda katsetele või kontrollidele, mille vastavushindamisasutused on seoses vastavushindamisega läbi viinud teise lepinguosalise territooriumil. Käesolevat lõiget ei tõlgendata nii, et see keelab lepinguosalisel nõuda teise lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvatelt vastavushindamisasutustelt samade nõuete täitmist, mida peab täitma tema enda vastavushindamisasutus. ARTIKKEL 9.6 Läbipaistvus 1. Kui kumbki lepinguosaline töötab välja tehnilisi norme ja vastavushindamismenetlusi, mis võivad kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada, peab ta kooskõlas oma asjaomaste normide ja menetlustega ning ilma et see piiraks 28. peatüki „Hea reguleerimistava“ kohaldamist, tegema järgmist (v.a juhul, kui tekivad või võivad tekkida ohutuse, tervise, keskkonnakaitse või riigi julgeolekuga seotud kiireloomulised probleemid): a) lubama teise lepinguosalise isikutel osaleda avalikes konsultatsioonides vähemalt sama soodsatel tingimustel kui tema enda isikutel ning & /et 188 b) avaldama konsultatsioonide tulemused ametlikul veebisaidil. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab rakendada meetodeid, et tagada tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste väljatöötamisel täiendav läbipaistvus, sealhulgas kasutades elektroonilisi vahendeid ja üldsuse teavitamist või avalikke konsultatsioone. 3. Vajaduse korral soovitab kumbki lepinguosaline oma territooriumil asuvatel valitsusvälistel asutustel, sealhulgas standardiorganisatsioonidel, järgida lõikeid 1 ja 2. 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kõik dokumendid, millega kehtestatakse tehniline norm või vastavushindamismenetlus, sisaldavad piisavalt üksikasjalikku teavet, et huvitatud isikud ja teine lepinguosaline saaksid asjakohaselt teavet selle kohta, kas ja kuidas see võib nende kaubandushuve mõjutada. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab internetis, eelistatavalt ühel veebisaidil või ametlikus väljaandes, kõik ettepanekud uute või muudetud tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste kohta keskvalitsuse tasandil ja keskvalitsusest madalamal tasandil ning nende lõplikud versioonid, millest lepinguosaline peab teatama või mille ta peab avaldama vastavalt tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingule26. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema vastuvõetud tehnilised normid ja vastavushindamismenetlused avaldatakse veebisaidil tasuta. 26 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et lepinguosaline võib seda kohustust täita, tagades, et kavandatavad meetmed ja nende lõplikud versioonid avaldatakse WTO ametlikul veebisaidil või on WTO ametliku veebisaidi kaudu muul viisil kättesaadavad. & /et 189 7. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab ettepanekud uute tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste kohta, mis on kooskõlas asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste standardite, suuniste või soovituste (kui on) tehnilise sisuga ja mis võivad kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada, välja arvatud tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklites 2.10 ja 5.7 sätestatud juhtudel. 8. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab avaldada ettepanekud uute tehniliste normide ja vajaduse korral piirkondlike või kohalike omavalitsuste vastavushindamismenetluste kohta, mis on kooskõlas asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste standardite, suuniste ja soovituste (kui neid on) tehnilise sisuga ja mis võivad kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada, vastavalt tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklis 2.9 või 5.6 sätestatud korrale. 9. Selleks et määrata kindlaks, kas kavandatav tehniline norm või vastavushindamismenetlus võib kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada ja kas sellest tuleb seega teatada vastavalt tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu asjakohastele sätetele, mis on artikli 9.3 kohaselt inkorporeeritud käesolevasse lepingusse, võtab lepinguosaline muu hulgas arvesse asjakohaseid otsuseid ja soovitusi, mille WTO tehniliste kaubandustõkete komitee on alates 1. jaanuarist 1995 vastu võtnud, nagu on osutatud artikli 9.4 lõikes 2. 10. Kumbki lepinguosaline annab teise lepinguosalise taotlusel teavet vastuvõetud või vastuvõetava tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse eesmärkide, õigusliku aluse ja põhjenduste kohta. & /et 190 11. Kumbki lepinguosaline jätab teisele lepinguosalisele pärast kavandatud tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste edastamist WTO teadete keskregistrile vähemalt 60 päeva kirjalike märkuste esitamiseks, välja arvatud juhul, kui tekivad või võivad tekkida ohutuse, tervise, keskkonnakaitse või riigi julgeolekuga seotud kiireloomulised probleemid. Lepinguosaline kaalub teise lepinguosalise põhjendatud taotlusi märkuste esitamise tähtaja pikendamiseks. Kui lepinguosalisel on võimalik pikendada märkuste esitamise tähtaega üle 60 päeva, näiteks 90 päevani, siis soovitatakse tal seda teha. 12. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab jätta märkuste esitamise lõpptähtaja ja teatatud tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse vastuvõtmise vahele piisavalt aega saadud märkuste läbivaatamiseks ja neile vastuste koostamiseks. 13. Kui lepinguosaline saab teiselt lepinguosaliselt kirjalikke märkusi kavandatava tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse kohta, peab ta tegema järgmist: a) arutama teise lepinguosalise taotlusel kirjalikke märkusi oma pädeva reguleeriva asutuse osavõtul ajal, mil neid märkusi saab arvesse võtta, ning b) vastama märkustele kirjalikult hiljemalt tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse avaldamise kuupäeval. 14. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab oma vastused saadud märkustele veebisaidil, võimaluse korral hiljemalt vastuvõetud tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse avaldamise kuupäeval. & /et 191 15. Kumbki lepinguosaline edastab tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse lõpliku teksti selle vastuvõtmise või avaldamise ajal tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artikli 2.9, 3.2, 5.6 või 7.2 kohaselt teatatud kavandatud meedet käsitleva algse teatise lisana. 16. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb hiljemalt sellise lõpliku tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse avaldamise kuupäeval, mis võib kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada, internetis avalikult kättesaadavaks järgmise teabe: a) selgitus nii eesmärkide kui ka selle kohta, kuidas need lõpliku tehnilise normi või vastavushindamismenetluse abil saavutatakse, ning b) artiklis 9.7 sätestatud mõjuhinnangu tulemused, kui see viiakse läbi vastavalt tema eeskirjadele ja menetlustele. 17. Tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artiklite 2.12 ja 5.9 kohaldamisel tähendab „mõistlik ajavahemik“ tavaliselt vähemalt kuue kuu pikkust ajavahemikku, välja arvatud juhul, kui see oleks õiguspärase eesmärgi saavutamiseks ebatõhus. 18. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab tagada, et lõplike tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste avaldamise ja nende jõustumise vahele jääks rohkem kui kuus kuud, välja arvatud juhul, kui see oleks õiguspärase eesmärgi saavutamiseks ebatõhus. & /et 192 ARTIKKEL 9.7 Tehnilised normid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline viib oma asjakohaste eeskirjade ja menetluste kohaselt läbi kavandatavate tehniliste normide regulatiivse mõju hindamise. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline hindab kavandatava tehnilise normi olemasolevaid regulatiivseid ja mitteregulatiivseid alternatiive, mis võivad täita lepinguosalise õiguspärased eesmärgid, kooskõlas tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artikli 2 lõikega 2. 3. Kui lepinguosalise tehnilised normid ei põhine rahvusvahelistel standarditel, teeb lepinguosaline teise lepinguosalise taotlusel kindlaks kõik olulised kõrvalekalded asjaomastest rahvusvahelistest standarditest ja selgitab, miks neid standardeid ei peetud taotletud eesmärgi saavutamiseks sobivaks või tõhusaks, ning esitab selle hinnangu aluseks olevad teaduslikud või tehnilised tõendid. 4. Lisaks tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artikli 2 lõikele 3 vaatab kumbki lepinguosaline tehnilised normid läbi, et lähendada neid asjakohastele rahvusvahelistele standarditele. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab muu hulgas arvesse kõiki uusi arengusuundumusi asjaomastes rahvusvahelistes standardites ja seda, kas endiselt esinevad asjaolud, mis on põhjustanud kõrvalekaldeid mõnest asjakohasest rahvusvahelisest standardist. & /et 193 ARTIKKEL 9.8 Regulatiivne koostöö 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et on olemas mitmesugused regulatiivse koostöö mehhanismid, mis võivad aidata tehnilisi kaubandustõkkeid kõrvaldada või nende tekkimist vältida. 2. Lepinguosaline võib teha teisele lepinguosalisele ettepaneku sektoripõhiseks regulatiivseks koostööks käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud valdkondades. Ettepanekud edastatakse artikli 9.11 kohaselt määratud kontaktpunktile ja need hõlmavad järgmist: a) teabevahetus regulatiivsete põhimõtete ja tavade kohta; b) algatused tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste edasiseks vastavusse viimiseks asjakohaste rahvusvaheliste standarditega või c) tehniline nõustamine ja abi vastastikku kokkulepitud tingimustel, et parandada tehniliste normide, standardite ja vastavushindamismenetluste ning metroloogia väljatöötamise, rakendamise ja läbivaatamise tavasid. Teine lepinguosaline kaalub ettepanekut nõuetekohaselt ja vastab sellele mõistliku aja jooksul. & /et 194 3. Lepinguosalised soodustavad käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud küsimustes koostööd oma vastavate standardimise, vastavushindamise, akrediteerimise ja metroloogia eest vastutavate organisatsioonide vahel, olenemata sellest, kas need organisatsioonid on avaliku või erasektori organisatsioonid. 4. Käesolevat artiklit ei tõlgendata nii, et see kohustab lepinguosalist a) kalduma kõrvale regulatiivsete meetmete ettevalmistamise ja vastuvõtmise riigisisestest menetlustest; b) võtma meetmeid, mis kahjustaksid või takistaksid tema avaliku korra eesmärkide saavutamiseks vajalike regulatiivsete meetmete õigeaegset vastuvõtmist, või c) saavutama konkreetset regulatiivset tulemust. ARTIKKEL 9.9 Märgistamine ja etikettimine 1. Käesoleva artikli kohaldamisel ja kooskõlas tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu 1. lisa punktiga 1 võib tehniline norm hõlmata või käsitleda üksnes toote, protsessi või tootmismeetodi suhtes kohaldatavaid märgistamise ja etikettimise nõudeid. & /et 195 2. Lepinguosalised kinnitavad, et nende tehnilised normid, mis hõlmavad või käsitlevad üksnes märgistamist või etikettimist, on kooskõlas tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu artikliga 2. 3. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab toodete kohustuslikku märgistamist või etikettimist, peab kõnealune lepinguosaline tegema järgmist: a) püüdma nõuda ainult sellist teavet, mis on oluline toote tarbijate või kasutajate jaoks või mis näitab toote vastavust kohustuslikele tehnilistele nõuetele; b) mitte nõudma turule laskmise eeltingimusena märgistuse või etiketi eelnevat heakskiitu, registreerimist või sertifitseerimist ega tasu maksmist, kui toode muus osas vastab lepinguosalise kohustuslikele tehnilistele nõuetele, välja arvatud juhul, kui seda peetakse vajalikuks, kuna toode kujutab endast ohtu inimeste, loomade või taimede elule või tervisele, keskkonnale või riigi julgeolekule; c) kui lepinguosaline nõuab, et ettevõtjad kasutaksid kordumatut tunnuskoodi, andma selle koodi teise lepinguosalise ettevõtjatele põhjendamatu viivituseta ja mittediskrimineerivalt; d) tingimusel et see ei ole kaupa importiva lepinguosalise nõutava teabe puhul eksitavad, vastuolulised ega segadusse ajavad, lubama järgmist: i) teabe esitamine muudes keeltes lisaks kaupa importiva lepinguosalise riigis nõutavale keelele; & /et 196 ii) rahvusvaheliselt aktsepteeritavad nomenklatuurid, piktogrammid, sümbolid või graafilised kujutised ning iii) täiendav teave lisaks kaupa importiva lepinguosalise riigis nõutavale teabele; e) nõustuma, et etikettimine, sealhulgas täiendav etikettimine ja etiketi parandamine, toimub pärast importimist, kuid enne toote müügiks pakkumist, alternatiivina päritolukohas etikettimisele, välja arvatud juhul, kui selline etikettimine peab toimuma päritolukohas rahvatervise või ohutuse huvides või eksportiva lepinguosalise geograafilise tähisega seotud nõude tõttu, ning f) püüdma aktsepteerida mittepüsivaid või eemaldatavaid etikette või märgistamise või etikettimisega seotud asjakohase teabe esitamist pigem saatedokumentides kui tootele füüsiliselt kinnitatud etikettidel, välja arvatud juhul, kui selline etikettimine on nõutav rahvatervise või ohutuse huvides. ARTIKKEL 9.10 Teabevahetus ja arutelud 1. Lepinguosaline võib taotleda teiselt lepinguosaliselt teavet kõikide käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud küsimuste kohta. Teine lepinguosaline esitab selle teabe mõistliku aja jooksul. & /et 197 2. Lepinguosaline võib taotleda, et teine lepinguosaline arutaks kõiki käesoleva peatüki raames tekkivaid probleeme, sealhulgas teise lepinguosalise tehniliste normide või vastavushindamismenetluste eelnõusid või ettepanekuid, kui ta leiab, et kõnealused tehnilised normid või vastavushindamismenetlused võivad avaldada märkimisväärset negatiivset mõju lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele. Taotlus tuleb esitada kirjalikult ja see peab sisaldama järgmist: a) probleemi kirjeldus; b) käesoleva peatüki sätted, millega probleem on seotud, ning c) taotluse põhjused, sealhulgas taotluse esitanud lepinguosalisele muret tekitavate asjaolude kirjeldus. 3. Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et lepinguosaline võib ka taotleda, et teine lepinguosaline arutaks kõiki käesoleva peatüki raames tekkivaid probleeme, mis on seotud keskvalitsuse tasandist vahetult allpool oleval tasandil paikneva piirkondliku või kohaliku omavalitsuse (olenevalt olukorrast) tehniliste normide või vastavushindamismenetlustega ja mis võivad kaubandust märkimisväärselt mõjutada. 4. Lepinguosalised arutavad tõstatatud probleemi 60 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse esitamist isiklikult või video- või telekonverentsi teel ning püüavad probleemi võimalikult kiiresti lahendada. Kui taotluse esitanud lepinguosaline peab probleemi kiireloomuliseks, võib ta taotleda, et kõik arutelud toimuksid lühema aja jooksul. Taotlusele vastav lepinguosaline suhtub sellisesse taotlusesse vastutulelikult. Lepinguosalised teevad kõik endast oleneva, et saavutada küsimuses vastastikku rahuldav lahendus. & /et 198 5. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, ei piira arutelud ja nende käigus vahetatud teave lepinguosaliste õigusi ja kohustusi, mis tulenevad käesolevast lepingust, WTO asutamislepingust või muust lepingust, mille osalised on mõlemad lepinguosalised. 6. Teabe- või arutelutaotlused esitatakse artikli 9.11 kohaselt määratud kontaktpunkti kaudu. ARTIKKEL 9.11 Kontaktpunktid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline määrab kontaktpunkti, mis hõlbustab käesoleva peatüki kohast koostööd ja kooskõlastamist, ning teatab teisele lepinguosalisele selle kontaktandmed. Lepinguosalised teavitavad teineteist viivitamata kõnealuste kontaktandmete muutumisest. 2. Kontaktpunktid teevad koostööd, et hõlbustada käesoleva peatüki rakendamist ja lepinguosalistevahelist koostööd kõikides tehniliste kaubandustõkete küsimustes. Kontaktpunktid vastutavad eelkõige järgmiste küsimuste eest: a) artikli 9.10 lõikes 6 osutatud teabevahetuse ja arutelude korraldamine; & /et 199 b) kõikide selliste teise lepinguosalise tõstatatud küsimuste viivitamatu käsitlemine, mis on seotud standardite, tehniliste normide või vastavushindamismenetluste väljatöötamise, vastuvõtmise, kohaldamise või täitmise tagamisega; c) lepinguosalise taotlusel arutelude korraldamine kõikides käesoleva peatükiga seotud küsimustes; d) valitsusvälistel, piirkondlikel ja mitmepoolsetel foorumitel teabe vahetamine standardite, tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetlustega seotud arengusuundumuste kohta ning e) võimaliku tehnilise abi vajaduse väljaselgitamise hõlbustamine. ARTIKKEL 9.12 Tehniliste kaubandustõkete allkomitee Artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti g kohaselt moodustatud tehniliste kaubandustõkete komitee teeb järgmist: a) teostab järelevalvet käesoleva peatüki rakendamise ja haldamise üle; b) tõhustab koostööd standardite, tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste väljatöötamisel ja täiustamisel; & /et 200 c) määrab kindlaks vastastikust huvi pakkuvad prioriteetsed valdkonnad käesoleva peatüki raames tehtava edasise töö jaoks ja kaalub uute algatuste ettepanekuid; d) jälgib ja arutab tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu raames toimuvaid arengusuundumusi ning e) võtab muid meetmeid, mis lepinguosaliste arvates abistaksid neid käesoleva peatüki ja tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingu rakendamisel. & /et 201 10. PEATÜKK INVESTEERINGUTE LIBERALISEERIMINE ARTIKKEL 10.1 Mõisted 1. Käesolevas peatükis kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „hõlmatud ettevõte“ – ettevõte, mille on vastavalt punktile e asutanud ühe lepinguosalise investor teise lepinguosalise territooriumil kooskõlas kohaldatava õigusega ning mis on olemas käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäeval või asutatakse pärast seda; b) „majandustegevus“ – tööstus-, kaubandus- või kutsetegevus ning käsitöönduslik tegevus, sealhulgas teenuste osutamine, välja arvatud tegevus valitsuse ülesannete täitmisel; c) „ettevõte“ – artiklis 1.3 „Üldkohaldatavad mõisted“ määratletud ettevõte ning selle filiaal või esindus27; 27 Mehhiko puhul ei käsitata esindust ettevõttena, välja arvatud juhul, kui see on asutatud filiaalina. & /et 202 d) „Euroopa Liidu ettevõte“ või „Mehhiko ettevõte“ – Euroopa Liidu või selle liikmesriikide või Mehhiko õiguse kohaselt asutatud ettevõte, mis tegeleb olulise äritegevusega28 vastavalt Euroopa Liidu või Mehhiko territooriumil29; käesoleva peatüki sätteid kohaldatakse ka väljaspool Euroopa Liitu või Mehhikot asutatud laevandusettevõtjate suhtes, kes on vastavalt Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi või Mehhiko kodanike kontrolli all, kui nende laevad on registreeritud vastavalt Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi või Mehhiko õigusele ja sõidavad selle Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi või Mehhiko lipu all; e) „asutamine“ – ettevõtte asutamine, sealhulgas omandamine30 Euroopa Liidus või Mehhikos; f) „lepinguosalise investor“ – lepinguosaline või lepinguosalise füüsiline isik või ettevõte (v.a filiaal või esindus), kes soovib asutada, asutab või on asutanud vastavalt punktile e ettevõtte teise lepinguosalise territooriumil; 28 Kooskõlas WTO-le saadetud teatisega Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingu kohta (WT/REG39/1) on „toimiv ja alaline seos“ Euroopa Liidu liikmesriigi majandusega, mis on sätestatud ELi toimimise lepingu artiklis 54, Euroopa Liidu arusaama järgi samaväärne „olulise äritegevuse“ mõistega. 29 Suurema selguse huvides tuleb märkida, et kolmanda riigi ettevõtte filiaali või esindust ei käsitata Euroopa Liidu või Mehhiko ettevõttena. 30 Mõiste „omandamine“ hõlmab kapitaliosalust ettevõttes eesmärgiga luua või säilitada püsivaid majandussidemeid. & /et 203 g) „kolmanda riigi investor“ – investor, kes soovib asutada, asutab või on asutanud vastavalt punktile e ettevõtte lepinguosalise territooriumil ning kes ei ole lepinguosalise investor; h) „tegevus“ – ettevõtte juhtimine, haldamine, käigushoidmine, kasutamine, sellest kasu saamine, selle müük või muu käsutamise vorm.

Kui erandlikud asjaolud põhjustavad või ähvardavad põhjustada tõsiseid raskusi Euroopa Liidu majandus- ja rahaliidu toimimises, võib Euroopa Liit vastu võtta või säilitada kapitali liikumise, maksete või ülekannete valdkonna kaitsemeetmed. Kõnealused meetmed peavad piirduma selliste raskuste kõrvaldamiseks rangelt vajalikuga ja nende kestus ei tohi ületada kuut kuud. 2. Meetmed, mille Euroopa Liit lõike 1 kohaselt kehtestab, ei tohi põhjustada Mehhiko ja kolmanda riigi vahel meelevaldset või põhjendamatut diskrimineerimist. Euroopa Liit teavitab Mehhikot viivitamata ja esitab võimalikult kiiresti selliste meetmete kaotamise ajakava. & /et 354 ARTIKKEL 20.5 Piirangud maksebilansi ja välisrahastamisega seotud raskuste ning makromajanduslike raskuste korral 1.

Lõikes 1 osutatud meetmed: a) peavad olema vastavuses Rahvusvahelise Valuutafondi põhikirjaga, kui see on kohaldatav; 63 Euroopa Liidu puhul võib üks Euroopa Liidu liikmesriik selliseid meetmeid võtta muudes kui artiklis 20.4 nimetatud olukordades, mis mõjutavad selle liikmesriigi majandust. 64 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lõike 1 punktis a osutatud tõsised maksebilansiraskused või välised finantsraskused või nende oht võivad olla muu hulgas põhjustatud raha- ja vahetuskursipoliitikaga seotud tõsistest makromajanduslikest raskustest või nende ohust, nagu on osutatud lõike 1 punktis b. & /et 355 b) ei tohi minna kaugemale vajalikust, et tegeleda lõikes 1 kirjeldatud olukorraga; c) peavad olema ajutised ja need tuleb järk-järgult kõrvaldada, kui lõikes 1 kirjeldatud olukord paraneb; d) ei tohi tekitada põhjendamatut kahju teise lepinguosalise kaubanduslikele, majanduslikele ega finantshuvidele; e) ei tohi teist lepinguosalist kohelda vähem soodsalt kui samasuguses olukorras olevat kolmandat isikut ning f) ei tohi asendada makromajanduslikku poliitikat, mida on vaja põhjendatud väliseks kohandamiseks. 3. Lepinguosaline võib oma välise finantspositsiooni või maksebilansi kaitseks vastu võtta või säilitada piiravaid meetmeid kaubavahetuse suhtes. Sellised meetmed peavad olema kooskõlas GATT 1994 XII artikliga ja 1994. aasta üldise tolli- ja kaubanduskokkuleppe maksebilansisätete käsitusleppega. 4. Lepinguosaline võib oma välise finantspositsiooni või maksebilansi kaitseks vastu võtta või säilitada piiravaid meetmeid teenuskaubanduse suhtes. Sellised meetmed peavad olema kooskõlas GATSi XII artikliga. & /et 356 5. Lepinguosaline püüab mitte vastu võtta ega säilitada meetmeid tariifsete lisatasude, kvootide, litsentside või sarnaste meetmete kujul. Kui lepinguosaline teist lepinguosalist meetmetest teavitab, selgitab ta nende piiravate meetmete kasutamise põhjusi. 6. Lepinguosaline, kes võtab vastu või jätab kehtima lõikes 1 osutatud meetmed, teatab nendest viivitamata teisele lepinguosalisele. 7. Kui artikli 20.4 või käesoleva artikli alusel võetakse vastu või jäetakse kehtima piiravad meetmed, konsulteerivad lepinguosalised viivitamata teenuste ja investeeringute allkomitees, välja arvatud juhul, kui konsultatsioone peetakse muudel rahvusvahelistel foorumitel, mille liikmed on mõlemad lepinguosalised. Konsultatsioonide käigus analüüsitakse vastavate meetmete võtmise põhjustanud maksebilansiraskusi või väliseid finantsraskusi, võttes arvesse selliseid tegureid nagu: a) raskuste laadi ja ulatust; b) välist majandus- ja kaubanduskeskkonda ning c) võimalikke alternatiivseid parandusmeetmeid. & /et 357 8. Lõikes 7 osutatud konsultatsioonidel käsitletakse piiravate meetmete vastavust artiklile 20.4 või käesoleva artikli lõigetele 1 ja 2. Võimaluse korral aktsepteerivad lepinguosalised kõiki Rahvusvahelise Valuutafondi (IMF) esitatud statistilisi või muid andmeid ning järelduste tegemisel lähtutakse IMFi hinnangust asjaomase lepinguosalise maksebilansi ja välise finantsolukorra kohta. & /et 358 21.

Lepinguosaline ja tema hankeüksused kohtlevad iga käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hankega seotud meetme puhul teise lepinguosalise kaupu ja teenuseid ning teise lepinguosalise tarnijaid, kes selliseid kaupu ja teenuseid pakuvad, kohe ja tingimusteta vähemalt sama soodsalt, kui asjaomane lepinguosaline (sealhulgas tema hankeüksused) kohtleb oma kaupu, teenuseid ja tarnijaid. 3. Käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hankega seotud meetmete puhul lepinguosalised ja nende hankeüksused: a) ei kohtle mõnda kohapealset tarnijat tema välismaise kuuluvuse või omandiõiguse määra põhjal vähem soodsalt kui teisi kohapealseid tarnijaid või b) ei diskrimineeri kohapealset tarnijat selle alusel, et kaup või teenus, mida see tarnija selle konkreetse hanke jaoks pakub, pärineb teiselt lepinguosaliselt. Elektrooniliste vahendite kasutamine 4. Kui hankeüksus korraldab käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanke elektroonilisel teel, peab ta: a) tagama, et hanke korraldamisel kasutatakse muu hulgas ka autentimiseks ja andmete krüptimiseks IT-süsteeme ja tarkvara, mis on vabalt kättesaadavad ja muude vabalt kättesaadavate IT-süsteemide ja tarkvaraga koostalitlusvõimelised; & /et 371 b) rakendama mehhanisme, millega tagatakse osalemistaotluste ja pakkumuste terviklus, sealhulgas fikseeritakse nende esitamise aeg ning välistatakse neile loata juurdepääs, ning c) kasutama hankemenetlustes teadete ja hankedokumentide avaldamiseks ning võimalikult suures ulatuses pakkumuste esitamiseks elektroonilisi teabe- ja sidevahendeid. Hanke korraldamine 5. Hankeüksus korraldab käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanke läbipaistval ja erapooletul viisil, mis: a) on kooskõlas käesoleva peatükiga, kasutades üht järgmistest hankeviisidest: avatud pakkumismenetlus, valikpakkumismenetlus või piiratud pakkumismenetlus; b) ennetab huvide konflikte ja korruptsiooni vastavalt asjaomase lepinguosalise õigusele. & /et 372 Korruptsioonivastased meetmed 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et ta on võtnud kasutusele asjakohased meetmed korruptsiooni tõkestamiseks oma riigihangetes. Nende meetmete hulka kuuluvad menetlused, millega võetakse lepinguosalise hangetes osalemise õigus kas tähtajatult või kindlaksmääratud ajavahemikuks tarnijatelt, kelle puhul on selle lepinguosalise õigusasutused lõpliku otsusega kindlaks teinud, et nad on osalenud pettuses või muus ebaseaduslikus tegevuses, mis on seotud riigihangetega selle lepinguosalise territooriumil.

Plaanitud hanke teadaanne peaks sisaldama hanke sisu ja kavandatava hanke teate avaldamise ligikaudset kuupäeva või hanke toimumise ligikaudset ajavahemikku. & /et 379 5. 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ ja 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B või C jao kohaldamisalasse kuuluv hankeüksus võib kasutada plaanitud hanke teadaannet kavandatava hanke teatena, tingimusel et plaanitud hanke teadaanne sisaldab lõikes 2 osutatud teavet ulatuses, mis on hankeüksusele kättesaadav, ja märget, et huvitatud tarnijad peaksid väljendama hankeüksusele oma huvi hanke vastu. Teateid käsitlevad üldeeskirjad 6. Kõik kavandatava hanke teated, kokkuvõtlikud teated ja plaanitud hanke teadaanded on vahetult kättesaadavad elektrooniliselt ja tasuta ühtse internetiportaali kaudu. Teateid võib lisaks avaldada ka ajakohases laia levikuga paberväljaandes ja need jäävad üldsusele kättesaadavaks vähemalt teates märgitud aja lõpuni. ARTIKKEL 21.7 Osalemistingimused 1. Hankeüksus esitab hankes osalemiseks ainult need tingimused, mis on olulised tagamaks, et tarnija vastab õiguslikult ja finantsiliselt hanke nõuetele ning on äriliselt ja tehniliselt suutlik asjaomast hankelepingut täitma. & /et 380 2. Osalemistingimuste kehtestamisel hankeüksus: a) ei esita tingimust, et hankes osalemiseks peab tarnija olema eelnevalt sõlminud mõne lepinguosalise hankeüksusega ühe või mitu lepingut; b) võib nõuda varasemat tegevuskogemust, kui see on hanke tingimuste seisukohalt tähtis, ning c) ei nõua, et hanke tingimus oleks asjaomane varasem kogemus lepinguosalise territooriumil. 3. Hinnates, kas tarnija vastab osalemistingimustele, hankeüksus: a) hindab tarnija finantsilist, ärilist ja tehnilist suutlikkust vastavalt tema äritegevusele nii selle lepinguosalise territooriumil, kelle hankeüksus hanke korraldab, kui ka väljaspool seda ning b) lähtub hindamisel tingimustest, mille ta on hanketeates või hankedokumentides eelnevalt kindlaks määranud. & /et 381 4. Lepinguosaline ja tema hankeüksused võivad tõendusmaterjali olemasolu korral välistada tarnija järgmistel põhjustel: a) pankrot; b) valeandmete esitamine; c) olulised või püsivad puudused varasemast lepingust tuleneva olulise nõude või kohustuse täitmisel; d) lõplikud kohtuotsused raskete kuritegude ja muude raskete süütegude korral vastavalt selle lepinguosalise õigusele; e) eksimine ametialaste käitumisreeglite vastu või tegevus või tegevusetus, mis vähendab tarnija ärilist usaldusväärsust, või f) maksude maksmata jätmine. & /et 382 ARTIKKEL 21.8 Tarnijate kvalifitseerimine Registreerimissüsteemid ja kvalifikatsioonimenetlused 1. Lepinguosaline ja tema hankeüksused võivad kasutada tarnijate registreerimise süsteemi, mille kaudu huvitatud tarnijad peavad registreeruma ja esitama teatavat teavet. Sellisel juhul tagab lepinguosaline, et huvitatud tarnijatel on elektrooniliste vahendite kaudu täielik juurdepääs registreerimissüsteemi puudutavale teabele ja et nad võivad taotleda registreerimist igal ajal süsteemi kehtivuse jooksul. Pädev asutus teatab neile mõistliku tähtaja jooksul taotluse rahuldamise või tagasilükkamise otsusest. Taotluse tagasilükkamise korral tuleb otsust nõuetekohaselt põhjendada. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et a) tema hankeüksused teevad jõupingutusi, et minimeerida kvalifitseerimismenetluste erinevusi, ning b) kui tema hankeüksused kasutavad registreerimissüsteemi, teevad nad jõupingutusi, et minimeerida registreerimissüsteemide erinevusi. 3. Lepinguosaline, sealhulgas tema hankeüksused, ei võta vastu ega kasuta registreerimissüsteemi või kvalifitseerimismenetlust, mille eesmärk on tekitada teise lepinguosalise tarnijatele asjatuid takistusi hankes osalemiseks või mille tõttu sellised takistused tekivad. & /et 383 Valikpakkumismenetlus 4. Kui hankeüksus kavatseb kasutada valikpakkumismenetlus, tuleb tal: a) esitada kavandatava hanke teates vähemalt artikli 21.6 lõike 2 punktides a, b, f, g, j, k ja l nimetatud teave ning kutsuda tarnijaid üles esitama osalemistaotlust ning b) esitada pakkumuste esitamise tähtaja alguseks kvalifitseeritud tarnijatele, keda ta teavitab vastavalt artikli 21.10 lõike 3 punktile b, vähemalt artikli 21.6 lõike 2 punktides c, d, e, h ja i osutatud teave. 5. Hankeüksus lubab konkreetses hankes osaleda kõigil kvalifitseeritud tarnijatel, välja arvatud juhul, kui hankeüksus teatab kavandatava hanke teates, et hankes lubatakse osalema vaid piiratud arv tarnijaid, ning esitab tarnijate arvu piiramise kriteeriumid. Pakkumiskutse adresseeritakse nii mitmele tarnijale, nagu on vaja tõhusa konkurentsi tagamiseks. 6. Kui hankedokumente ei tehta alates lõikes 4 osutatud teate avaldamise kuupäevast avalikult kättesaadavaks, tagab hankeüksus, et need tehakse kõikidele lõike 5 kohaselt väljavalitud kvalifitseeritud tarnijatele kättesaadavaks samal ajal. & /et 384 Korduvkasutatavad loetelud 7. Hankeüksus võib pidada korduvkasutatavat loetelu, tingimusel et teade, millega huvitatud tarnijaid kutsutakse taotlema loetellu kandmist, avaldatakse igal aastal asjakohases väljaandes, mis on loetletud 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ ja 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ I jaos, ning on elektroonilise avaldamise korral pidevalt kättesaadav. 8. Lõikega 7 ette nähtud teade hõlmab järgmist: a) nende kaupade ja teenuste või kauba- ja teenuseliikide kirjeldus, mille hankimiseks loetelu kasutatakse; b) osalemistingimused, millele tarnijad peavad loetellu kandmiseks vastama, ning meetodid, mida hankeüksus kasutab tarnija nõuetelevastavuse kontrollimiseks; c) hankeüksuse nimi ja aadress ning muud andmed, mis on vajalikud temaga ühenduse võtmiseks ning selleks, et saada kõik vajalikud loeteluga seotud dokumendid; d) loetelu kehtivusaeg ja selle kehtivuse pikendamise või lõpetamise viis või kui kehtivusaega ei esitata, siis märge selle kohta, millisel viisil teatatakse loetelu kasutamise lõpetamisest, ning e) märge, et loetelu võib kasutada käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud hanke puhul. & /et 385 9. Kui korduvkasutatav loetelu kehtib kuni kolm aastat, võib hankeüksus lõikest 7 olenemata avaldada lõikes 7 osutatud teate ainult üks kord, nimelt loetelu kehtivusaja alguses, tingimusel et a) teates esitatakse loetelu kehtivusaeg ja teatatakse, et rohkem teateid ei avaldata, ning b) teade avaldatakse elektrooniliselt ja see on kogu kehtivusaja jooksul pidevalt kättesaadav. 10. Hankeüksus lubab tarnijatel taotleda igal ajal enda kandmist korduvkasutatavasse loetelu ja kannab kõik kvalifitseeritud tarnijad loetellu mõistlikult lühikese aja jooksul. 11. Kui tarnija, kes ei ole kantud korduvkasutatavasse loetellu, esitab korduvkasutataval loetelul põhinevas hankes osalemise taotluse ja kõik nõutud dokumendid artikli 21.10 lõikes 2 sätestatud ajavahemiku jooksul, peab hankeüksus taotlusega tutvuma. Hankeüksus ei jäta tarnijat hankemenetlusest kõrvale selle tõttu, et hankeüksusel ei ole piisavalt aega taotlusega tutvuda, välja arvatud erijuhul, kui hanke keerukusest tingituna ei suuda hankeüksus lõpetada taotlusega tutvumist pakkumuste esitamiseks lubatud ajavahemiku jooksul. & /et 386 Muud 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ ja 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B ja C jao kohaldamisalasse kuuluvad üksused 12. 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B ja C jao kohaldamisalasse kuuluva lepinguosalise hankeüksus võib kasutada teadet, milles tarnijaid kutsutakse üles taotlema korduvkasutatavasse loetellu kandmist, kavandatava hanke teatena, kui: a) teade avaldatakse kooskõlas lõikega 7 ja see sisaldab lõikes 8 nõutud teavet ning kogu artikli 21.6 lõikes 2 nõutud teavet, mis on kättesaadav, ning märget, et asjaomane teade kujutab endast kavandatava hanke teadet või et edaspidi saavad korduvkasutatavasse loetellu kuuluvate hangete teateid ainult korduvkasutatavasse loetellu kuuluvad tarnijad, ning b) hankeüksus esitab tarnijatele, kes on teatanud oma huvist konkreetse hanke vastu, kiiresti piisavalt teavet, mis võimaldab neil hinnata oma huvi hankes osaleda, sealhulgas kogu ülejäänud teabe, mida nõutakse artikli 21.6 lõikes 2, niivõrd kui see teave on kättesaadav. 13. 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B või C jao kohaldamisalasse kuuluv hankeüksus võib võimaldada tarnijal, kes on vastavalt lõikele 10 taotlenud enda kandmist korduvkasutatavasse loetellu, esitada asjaomase hanke raames pakkumuse, kui hankeüksusele jääb piisavalt aega, et kindlaks teha, kas tarnija vastab osalemistingimustele. & /et 387 Teave hankeüksuse otsuste kohta 14. Hankeüksus teatab hankes osalemise taotluse või korduvkasutatavasse loetellu kandmise taotluse esitanud tarnijale viivitamata oma otsuse tema taotluse kohta. 15. Kui hankeüksus lükkab tarnija hankes osalemise või korduvkasutatavasse loetellu kandmise taotluse tagasi, ei tunnista teda enam kvalifitseeritud tarnijaks või kustutab ta korduvkasutatavast loetelust, teatab hankeüksus sellest tarnijale viivitamata ja esitab tarnija taotluse korral talle viivitamata oma otsuse kirjaliku põhjenduse. ARTIKKEL 21.9 Tehnilised kirjeldused ja hankedokumendid Tehnilised kirjeldused 1. Hankeüksus ei koosta, ei võta vastu ega kohalda tehnilisi kirjeldusi ega nõua vastavushindamismenetluse kasutamist, mille eesmärk on luua või mis loob tarbetuid takistusi lepinguosalistevahelises kaubanduses. & /et 388 2. Hangitavate kaupade ja teenuste tehnilisi kirjeldusi koostades peab hankeüksus võimaluse korral: a) esitama tehnilises kirjelduses pigem toimivus- ja funktsionaalsed nõuded, mitte disaini või tunnuste kirjelduse, ning b) võtma tehniliste kirjelduste aluseks rahvusvahelised standardid, kui need standardid on olemas, või muul juhul võtma aluseks siseriiklikud tehnilised normid, tunnustatud siseriiklikud standardid või ehituseeskirjad. 3. Kui tehnilistes kirjeldustes kasutatakse disaini või tunnuste kirjelduse näitajaid, peaks hankeüksus lisama võimaluse korral hankedokumentidesse näiteks sõnad „või samaväärne“ näitamaks, et ta võtab arvesse samaväärsete kaupade või teenuste pakkumusi, kui need vastavad selgelt hanke tingimustele. 4. Hankeüksus ei koosta tehnilisi kirjeldusi, mis sisaldavad konkreetse kaubamärgi või kaubanime, patendi, autoriõiguse, disainilahenduse või tüübi, teatava päritolu, tootja või tarnijaga seotud nõudeid või viiteid, välja arvatud juhul, kui hanke nõudeid ei ole muul viisil võimalik piisavalt täpselt või arusaadavalt kirjeldada, ja tingimusel, et hankeüksus lisab hankedokumentidesse näiteks sõnad „või samaväärne“. & /et 389 5. Hankeüksus ei või isikult, kellel võivad olla ärihuvid seoses teatava hankega, konkurentsi piiramist põhjustaval viisil küsida ega vastu võtta nõuandeid, mida võidakse kasutada selle hanke tehniliste kirjelduste koostamisel või vastuvõtmisel. 6. Lepinguosaline võib lubada oma hankeüksustel võtta arvesse sotsiaalseid ja keskkonnakaalutlusi, tingimusel et need ei ole diskrimineerivad ja on seotud lepingu esemega. 7. Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lepinguosaline ja tema hankeüksused võivad koostada, vastu võtta või kohaldada vastavalt käesolevale artiklile tehnilisi kirjeldusi loodusvarade kaitse edendamiseks või keskkonna kaitsmiseks. Hankedokumendid 8. Hankeüksus esitab tarnijatele hankedokumendid, mis sisaldavad kogu vajalikku teavet, et tarnijad saaksid koostada ja esitada nõuetele vastava pakkumuse. Kui seda ei ole juba kavandatava hanke teates tehtud, esitatakse kõnealustes dokumentides täielik kirjeldus järgmise kohta: a) hange, sealhulgas kaupade või teenuste laad ja kogus või kui täpne kogus ei ole teada, siis eeldatav kogus, ning täidetavad nõuded muu hulgas tehnilise kirjelduse, vastavushindamise, plaanide, jooniste ja juhendite kohta; & /et 390 b) tarnijate osalemistingimused, sealhulgas sellise teabe ja selliste dokumentide loetelu, mis tarnija peab osalemistingimustele vastamiseks esitama; c) kõik hindamiskriteeriumid, mida hankeüksus kohaldab lepingu sõlmimisel, ning kõnealuste kriteeriumide osakaal, kui hind ei ole ainus kriteerium; d) kui hankeüksus korraldab hanke elektrooniliselt, siis autentimis- ja andmete krüptimise nõuded või muud nõuded seoses teabe elektroonilise esitamisega; e) kui hankeüksus korraldab elektroonilise oksjoni, siis oksjoni pidamise eeskirjad, sealhulgas teave selle kohta, milliseid pakkumuse elemente hinnatakse; f) kui pakkumused avatakse avalikult, siis nende avamise kuupäev, kellaaeg ja koht ning vajaduse korral pakkumuste avamisele lubatud isikute nimekiri; g) muud nõuded või tingimused, sealhulgas maksetingimused ja pakkumuse esitamise viisile seatud piirangud, näiteks pakkumuste vastuvõtmine elektrooniliselt või paberkandjal, ning h) kaupade kohaletoimetamise või teenuse osutamise kuupäevad. & /et 391 9. Hangitavate kaupade kohaletoimetamise või teenuste osutamise kuupäeva kehtestamisel võtab hankeüksus arvesse selliseid tegureid nagu hanke keerukus, allhangete eeldatav maht ning realistlik aeg kaupade tootmiseks, laost väljastamiseks ja tarnekohast transportimiseks või teenuste osutamiseks. 10. Kavandatud hanke teates või hankedokumentides sätestatud hindamiskriteeriumid võivad muu hulgas sisaldada hinda ja muid kulutegureid, kvaliteediandmeid, tehnilist väärtust, keskkonnanäitajaid ja tarnetingimusi. 11. Hankeüksus peab viivitamata: a) tegema hankedokumendid kättesaadavaks, et huvitatud tarnijatel oleks piisavalt aega esitada nõuetekohane pakkumus; b) esitama taotluse korral hankedokumendid igale huvitatud tarnijale ning c) vastama huvitatud või hankes osaleva tarnija esitatud mõistlikele päringutele tingimusel, et küsitud teave ei anna kõnealusele tarnijale eelist teiste tarnijate ees. & /et 392 Muudatused 12. Kui hankeüksus muudab enne lepingu sõlmimist kavandatava hanke teates või osalevatele tarnijatele esitatud hankedokumentides sätestatud kriteeriume või nõudeid või kui ta muudab või avaldab uuesti hanketeate või hankedokumendid, edastab ta kirjalikult kõik sellised muudatused või muudetud või uuesti avaldatud teate või hankedokumendid: a) kõikidele teabe muutmise või uuesti avaldamise ajal hankes osalevatele tarnijatele, kui nad on hankeüksusele teada, kõikidel muudel juhtudel aga esitab muudatused samal viisil, kui ta esitas algse teabe, ning b) piisavalt varakult, et tarnijatel oleks aega oma pakkumusi vajaduse korral muuta ja need uuesti esitada. ARTIKKEL 21.10 Tähtajad 1. Hankeüksus jätab oma mõistlikest vajadustest lähtudes tarnijatele piisavalt aega osalemistaotluste ja nõuetele vastavate pakkumuste koostamiseks ja esitamiseks, võttes seejuures arvesse selliseid tegureid nagu: a) hanke laad ja keerukus; & /et 393 b) allhangete eeldatav maht ning c) juhul kui ei kasutata elektroonilisi vahendeid, siis aeg, mis kulub pakkumuse mitteelektrooniliseks edastamiseks teise lepinguosalise või hankeüksuse territooriumil asuvatest punktidest. Tähtajad, sealhulgas pikendatud tähtajad, peavad olema kõikidele huvitatud või osalevatele tarnijatele ühesugused. 2. Valikpakkumismenetlust kasutav hankeüksus määrab osalemistaotluste esitamise tähtpäeva, mis üldjuhul ei ole varem kui 25 päeva pärast kavandatud hanke teate avaldamise kuupäeva. Kui kiireloomulistel juhtudel, mida hankeüksus on nõuetekohaselt põhjendanud, ei saa sellist tähtaega kasutada, võib seda lühendada kuni kümne päevani. 3. Välja arvatud lõigetes 4, 5, 7 ja 8 sätestatud juhtudel, kehtestab hankeüksus pakkumuste esitamise tähtpäeva, mis ei ole varem kui 40 päeva pärast a) kavandatava hanke teate avaldamise kuupäeva avatud pakkumismenetluse korral või b) kuupäeva, mil hankeüksus teatab tarnijatele, et nad kutsutakse pakkumusi esitama, olenemata sellest, kas kasutatakse korduvkasutatavat loetelu või mitte, valikpakkumismenetluse korral. & /et 394 4. Hankeüksus võib lühendada lõike 3 kohast pakkumuste esitamise tähtaega kuni kümne päevani, kui: a) hankeüksus on avaldanud plaanitud hanke teadaande, mida on kirjeldatud artikli 21.6 lõikes 4, vähemalt 40 päeva ja kuni 12 kuud enne kavandatud hanke teates avaldamist, kusjuures plaanitud hanke teadaandes on esitatud järgmine teave: i) hanke kirjeldus; ii) pakkumuse või osalemistaotluse esitamise ligikaudne tähtpäev; iii) märge, et huvitatud tarnijad peaksid hankeüksusele väljendama oma huvi hanke vastu; iv) aadress, kust saab hankedokumente, ning v) kogu kättesaadav teave, mida kavandatava hanke teade peab artikli 21.6 lõike 2 kohaselt sisaldama; b) hankeüksus märgib korduvat laadi hangete puhul algses kavandatava hanke teates, et järgmistes teadetes sätestatakse pakkumuste esitamise tähtajad vastavalt käesolevale lõikele, või & /et 395 c) lõike 3 kohast pakkumuste esitamise tähtaega ei saa hankeüksuse poolt nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud kiireloomulistel juhtudel kasutada. 5. Hankeüksus võib lühendada lõike 3 kohast pakkumuste esitamise tähtaega viie päeva võrra igal järgmisel põhjusel: a) kavandatava hanke teade avaldatakse elektrooniliselt; b) kõik hankedokumendid tehakse alates kavandatava hanke teate avaldamise kuupäevast elektrooniliselt kättesaadavaks ning c) hankeüksus lubab teha pakkumusi elektrooniliselt. 6. Juhul kui kasutatakse lõiget 5 koostoimes lõikega 4, ei või lõike 3 kohane pakkumuste esitamise tähtaeg olla mingil juhul lühem kui kümme päeva alates kavandatava hanke teate avaldamisest. 7. Hankeüksus võib kommertskaupade või -teenuste või nende mõlema ostmise korral olenemata muudest käesoleva artikli sätetest lühendada lõike 3 kohast pakkumuste esitamise tähtaega vähemalt 13 päevani, kui ta avaldab elektrooniliselt ühel ja samal ajal nii kavandatava hanke teate kui ka hankedokumendid. Kui hankeüksus võimaldab lisaks teha kommertskaupade või -teenuste pakkumusi elektrooniliselt, võib ta lühendada lõike 3 kohast tähtaega kuni kümne päevani. & /et 396 8. Kui 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B või C jao kohane hankeüksus on valinud kõik kvalifitseeritud tarnijad või piiratud arvu kvalifitseeritud tarnijaid, võib pakkumuste esitamise tähtaja kehtestada hankeüksuse ja valitud tarnijate vastastikusel kokkuleppel. Sellise kokkuleppe puudumise korral peab tähtaeg olema vähemalt kümme päeva. ARTIKKEL 21.11 Läbirääkimine 1. Lepinguosaline võib ette näha, et tema hankeüksused peavad tarnijatega läbirääkimisi, kui: a) hankeüksus on vastavalt artikli 21.6 lõikele 2 nõutavas kavandatava hanke teates viidanud oma kavatsusele pidada läbirääkimisi või b) hindamisel ilmneb, et ükski pakkumus ei ole kavandatava hanke teates või hankedokumentides sätestatud hindamiskriteeriumide kohaselt selgelt kõige soodsam. & /et 397 2. Hankeüksus a) tagab, et läbirääkimistel osalevate tarnijate kõrvalejätmine toimub kavandatava hanke teates või hankedokumentides sätestatud hindamiskriteeriumide kohaselt, ning b) määrab pärast läbirääkimiste lõppu allesjäänud osalevatele tarnijatele ühise tähtaja uute või muudetud pakkumuste esitamiseks. ARTIKKEL 21.12 Piiratud pakkumismenetlus 1. Tingimusel, et hankeüksus ei kasuta piiratud pakkumismenetlust konkurentsi vältimiseks tarnijate vahel või viisil, millega diskrimineeritakse teise lepinguosalise tarnijaid või kaitstakse omamaiseid tarnijaid, võib ta kasutada piiratud pakkumismenetlust ja otsustada mitte kohaldada artikleid 21.6–21.8, artikli 21.9 lõikeid 8–12 ning artikleid 21.10, 21.11, 21.13 ja 21.14 järgmiste asjaolude korral: a) eeldusel, et hankedokumentide nõudeid ei ole oluliselt muudetud, kui: i) ükski tarnija ei ole esitanud pakkumust ega osalemistaotlust; & /et 398 ii) ei ole esitatud ühtki hankedokumentide olulistele nõuetele vastavat pakkumust; iii) ükski tarnija ei vastanud osalemistingimustele või iv) esitatud pakkumused kajastasid konkurentide kokkulepet; b) kui kaupu või teenuseid saab tarnida üksnes konkreetne tarnija ja puuduvad mõistlikud alternatiivsed või asenduskaubad või -teenused ühel järgmistest põhjustest: i) hangitakse kunstiteost; ii) patentide, autoriõiguste või muude ainuõiguste tõttu või iii) konkurents puudub tehnilistel põhjustel; c) kui esialgne tarnija tarnib lisaks selliseid kaupu või teenuseid, mis ei olnud esialgse hanke ese, ning kui sellise tarnija vahetamine: i) ei ole võimalik majanduslikel ja tehnilistel põhjustel, mis tulenevad näiteks olemasolevate seadmete, tarkvara, teenuste või paigaldiste vahetatavus- ja koostalitlusnõudest, ning & /et 399 ii) põhjustaks hankeüksusele olulist ebamugavust või märkimisväärseid lisakulusid; d) juhul kui kiireloomulise olukorra tõttu, mis on tingitud sündmustest, mida hankeüksus ei võinud ette näha, ei ole avatud või valikpakkumismenetlust kasutades olnud võimalik saada kaupu või teenuseid õigeks ajaks, ja ainult niivõrd, kui see on rangelt vajalik; e) kaubaturult ostetavate kaupade korral; f) kui hankeüksus hangib prototüüpi või esimest toodet või teenust, mis töötatakse välja tema tellimusel teatava teadusuuringu, katsetuse, uurimise või uusarenduse raames ja asjakohase lepingu alusel; esimese toote või teenuse esialgne arendustöö võib hõlmata piiratud ulatuses tootmist või teenuse osutamist, et võtta arvesse kohapealse katsetamise tulemusi ja tõendada, et kaup või teenus sobib masstootmiseks või -tarnimiseks kooskõlas vastuvõetavate kvaliteedistandarditega, kuid ei hõlma masstootmist või -tarnimist eesmärgiga saavutada kaubanduslik tasuvus või katta teadus- ja arendustööde kulud; & /et 400 g) ostude korral, mis tehakse üksnes lühiajaliselt kehtivatel eriti soodsatel tingimustel, mis tulenevad erakorralisest realiseerimisest, näiteks likvideerimisest, pankrotivara haldamisest või pankrotist, mitte aga tavaliste ostude korral tavapärastelt tarnijatelt, või h) kui leping sõlmitakse ideekonkursi võitjaga, tingimusel et i) konkursi korraldus vastas käesoleva peatüki põhimõtetele, eelkõige seoses kavandatava hanke teate avaldamisega, ning ii) konkursil osalejaid hindas sõltumatu komisjon eesmärgiga selgitada välja võitja, kellega sõlmitakse leping. 2. Hankeüksus koostab iga lõike 1 alusel sõlmitud lepingu kohta kirjaliku aruande. Aruanne sisaldab hankeüksuse nime, hangitud kaupade või teenuste maksumust ja laadi ning märkust lõikes 1 kirjeldatud asjaolude ja tingimuste kohta, mis õigustavad piiratud pakkumismenetluse kasutamist. & /et 401 ARTIKKEL 21.13 Elektroonilised oksjonid Kui hankeüksus kavatseb käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanke korraldada elektroonilise oksjonina, esitab ta igale osalejale enne elektroonilise oksjoni algust: a) teabe automaatse hindamismeetodi kohta, mida kasutatakse oksjoni käigus automaatseks pakkumuste pingerea koostamiseks ja muutmiseks, sealhulgas hankedokumentides sätestatud hindamiskriteeriumidel põhineva matemaatilise valemi; b) pakkumuse elementide esialgse hindamise tulemused, kui leping kavatsetakse sõlmida kõige soodsama pakkumuse tegijaga, ning c) muu olulise teabe oksjoni korraldamise kohta. & /et 402 ARTIKKEL 21.14 Pakkumuste läbivaatamine ja lepingute sõlmimine Pakkumuste läbivaatamine 1. Hankeüksus võtab pakkumused vastu, avab need ja vaatab need läbi nii, et hankemenetlus on läbipaistev ja erapooletu ning säilib pakkumuste konfidentsiaalsus. 2. Kui hankeüksus pakub ühele tarnijale võimalust parandada pakkumuste avamise ja lepingu sõlmimise otsustamise vahelisel ajal tahtmatud vormivead, tuleb tal sama võimalust pakkuda kõikidele osalevatele tarnijatele. Lepingute sõlmimine 3. Selleks et pakkumust saaks lepingu sõlmimise üle otsustamisel arvesse võtta, peab see olema tehtud kirjalikult, vastama avamise ajal teadetes ja hankedokumentides sätestatud olulistele nõuetele ja pärinema tarnijalt, kes vastab osalemistingimustele. & /et 403 4. Välja arvatud juhul, kui hankeüksus jõuab järeldusele, et lepingu sõlmimine ei ole avalikes huvides, sõlmib ta lepingu tarnijaga, kes hankeüksuse hinnangul on suuteline täitma lepingutingimusi ja kes ainuüksi teadetes ja hankedokumentides sätestatud lepingutingimuste kohaselt on esitanud: a) soodsaima pakkumuse või b) madalaima hinnaga pakkumuse, kui hind on ainus kriteerium. 5. Kui hankeüksusele esitatakse pakkumus, mille hind on teiste pakkumustega võrreldes tavatult madal, võib ta kontrollida, kas tarnija vastab osalemistingimustele ja on suuteline lepingutingimusi täitma. 6. Hankeüksus ei tee valikuid, ei tühista hanget ega muuda sõlmitud lepinguid viisil, mis ei ole kooskõlas käesolevast peatükist tulenevate kohustustega. 7. Üldjuhul võib kumbki lepinguosaline sätestada võitja väljaselgitamise ja lepingu sõlmimise vahelise ooteaja, et tagasilükatud pakkujatele jääks piisavalt aega lepingu sõlmimise otsuse läbivaatamiseks ja vaidlustamiseks. & /et 404 ARTIKKEL 21.15 Hanketeabe läbipaistvus Tarnijatele esitatav teave 1. Hankeüksus teavitab osalevaid tarnijaid viivitamata ja tarnija taotluse korral kirjalikult sellest, kelle ta on kuulutanud hanke võitjaks. Kooskõlas artikli 21.16 lõigetega 2 ja 3 esitab hankeüksus tagasilükatud tarnija taotlusel talle selgituse, miks hankeüksus ei valinud tema pakkumust ja millised olid võitnud tarnija pakkumuse suhtelised eelised. Teabe avaldamine sõlmitud lepingu kohta 2. Hankeüksus avaldab teate 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ I jaos loetletud asjakohases elektroonilises või paberväljaandes hiljemalt 72 päeva jooksul pärast iga käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud lepingu sõlmimist. Kui hankeüksus avaldab teate üksnes elektroonilises väljaandes, peab teave jääma mõistliku tähtaja jooksul vabalt kättesaadavaks. Teade sisaldab vähemalt järgmist teavet: a) hangitud kaupade või teenuste kirjeldus; & /et 405 b) hankeüksuse nimi ja aadress; c) eduka tarnija nimi ja aadress; d) eduka pakkumuse maksumus või lepingu sõlmimisel arvesse võetud kõrgeima ja madalaima hinnaga pakkumus; e) lepingu sõlmimise kuupäev ning f) kasutatud hankemeetod ja juhul, kui vastavalt artiklile 21.12 kasutati piiratud pakkumismenetlust, siis selle kasutamist õigustavate asjaolude kirjeldus. Dokumentide ja aruannete säilitamine ning elektrooniline jälgitavus 3. Hankeüksus säilitab vähemalt kolm aastat alates lepingu sõlmimisest: a) dokumendid ja aruanded käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hankega seotud hankemenetluste ja sõlmitud lepingute kohta, sealhulgas artikli 21.12 alusel nõutavad aruanded, ning b) andmed, millega tagatakse käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanke elektroonilisel korraldamisel asjakohane jälgitavus. & /et 406 Statistiliste andmete vahetus 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline kogub ja vahetab igal aastal statistilisi andmeid oma käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud hangete kohta65. Nendes statistilistes aruannetes esitatakse statistika asjaomase lepinguosalise käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud kõigi hankeüksuste sõlmitud lepingute hinnangulise maksumuse kohta maailmas ja hankeüksuste kategooriate kaupa. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline esitab kättesaadava statistika oma hankeüksuste ostetud toodete ja teenuste päritoluriigi kohta. Sellise statistika võrreldavuse tagamiseks annab artikli 21.19 kohaselt moodustatud riigihangete allkomitee juhiseid kasutatavate meetodite kohta. Kaubandusnõukogu võib otsustada muuta lõikes 4 sätestatud nõudeid, et tagada käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud hangete tulemuslik järelevalve. 6. Kui lepinguosaline nõuab, et sõlmitud lepinguid käsitlevad teated tuleb lõike 2 kohaselt avaldada elektrooniliselt, ja kui sellised teated on avalikkusele kättesaadavad ühe andmebaasi kaudu vormis, mis võimaldab käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud lepinguid analüüsida, võib lepinguosaline riigihangete allkomiteele andmete edastamise asemel esitada lingi veebisaidile koos juhistega, mida on vaja selliste andmete kättesaamiseks ja kasutamiseks. 65 Esimest korda vahetatakse teavet aasta pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist. & /et 407 ARTIKKEL 21.16 Teabe avalikustamine Teabe esitamine lepinguosalistele 1. Teise lepinguosalise taotluse korral annab lepinguosaline viivitamata teavet, mis võimaldab kindlaks teha, kas käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange korraldati õiglaselt, erapooletult ja käesoleva peatüki kohaselt, sealhulgas teavet eduka pakkumuse näitajate ja suhteliste eeliste kohta. Teabe saanud lepinguosaline ei avalda kõnealust teavet ühelegi tarnijale, kui see seaks ohtu konkurentsi tulevastes hankemenetlustes, välja arvatud juhul, kui ta on saanud teabe esitanud lepinguosalise nõusoleku. Teabe avalikustamata jätmine 2. Olenemata käesoleva peatüki muudest sätetest ei anna lepinguosaline ega tema hankeüksused konkreetsele tarnijale teavet, mis võib kahjustada tarnijatevahelist ausat konkurentsi. 3. Käesolevat peatükki ei tõlgendata nii, et lepinguosaline ja tema hankeüksused, ametiasutused ja läbivaatavad organid peaksid avalikustama konfidentsiaalset teavet, kui selline avalikustamine võiks: a) kahjustada õiguskaitset; & /et 408 b) kahjustada ausat konkurentsi tarnijate vahel; c) kahjustada konkreetsete isikute õigustatud ärihuve, sealhulgas nende intellektuaalomandi kaitset, või d) olla muul viisil vastuolus avalike huvidega. ARTIKKEL 21.17 Siseriiklik vaidlustusmenetlus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline kehtestab õigeaegse, tulemusliku, läbipaistva ja mittediskrimineeriva haldusliku või kohtuliku läbivaatamise korra, mille abil tarnija, kellel on või on olnud huvid seoses käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hankega, võib vaidlustada: a) käesoleva peatüki sätete rikkumise või b) kui tarnijal ei ole lepinguosalise õiguse kohaselt õigust vaidlustada otseselt käesoleva peatüki sätete rikkumist, siis nende meetmete eiramise, mille lepinguosaline on võtnud käesoleva peatüki rakendamiseks. Vaidlustamise kord on kirjalik ja see tehakse üldiselt kättesaadavaks. & /et 409 2. Kui tarnija esitab seoses käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hankega, mille vastu tal on või on olnud huvi, kaebuse lõikes 1 nimetatud rikkumise või eiramise kohta, kutsub lepinguosaline, kelle hankeüksus käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanget korraldab, hankeüksust ja tarnijat üles leidma kaebusele lahendust konsultatsioonide teel. Hankeüksus vaatab sellised kaebused läbi erapooletult ja õigel ajal ning nii, et see ei mõjuta tarnija osalemist käimasolevates ega tulevastes käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hangetes ega tema õigust taotleda haldusliku või kohtuliku läbivaatamismenetluse kaudu parandusmeetmete võtmist. 3. Igale tarnijale võimaldatakse vaidlustuse ettevalmistamiseks ja esitamiseks piisav aeg, mis ei ole mingil juhul lühem kui kümme päeva alates hetkest, mil tarnija sai või oleks pidanud saama teada vaidlustamise aluseks olevast asjaolust. 4. Selleks asutab või määrab kumbki lepinguosaline vähemalt ühe erapooletu haldus- või õigusasutuse, mis on tema hankeüksusest sõltumatu ning mis võtab vastu ja vaatab läbi tarnijate vaidlustusi seoses käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hangetega. 5. Kui vaidlustamise vaatab esimesena läbi muu kui lõikes 4 osutatud asutus, tagab lepinguosaline, et tarnijal on võimalik algne otsus edasi kaevata erapooletule haldus- või õigusasutusele, kes ei sõltu hankeüksusest, kelle hanget ta vaidlustab. & /et 410 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kui läbivaatav asutus ei ole kohus, on võimalik tema otsus kohtusse edasi kaevata või et kehtivad menetlused, millega tagatakse, et: a) hankeüksus vastab vaidlustamisele kirjalikult ja esitab läbivaatavale asutusele kõik asjakohased dokumendid; b) menetlusosalistel on õigus ärakuulamisele enne, kui läbivaatav asutus teeb vaidluses otsuse; c) menetlusosalistel on õigus võtta endale esindaja ja saatja; d) menetlusosalistel on õigus osaleda kõikides menetlustoimingutes; e) menetlusosalistel on õigus taotleda avalikku menetlust ja kutsuda tunnistajaid ning f) läbivaatav asutus teeb otsuse või esitab soovituse viivitamata ja kirjalikult ning põhjendab iga otsust või soovitust. & /et 411 7. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab vastu või jätab kehtima korra, millega nähakse ette ajutised kiirmeetmed, et tarnijal oleks võimalik hankes edasi osaleda. Need ajutised meetmed võivad kaasa tuua hankemenetluse peatamise. Selles korras võib olla ette nähtud, et selliste meetmete kohaldamise üle otsustamisel võib arvesse võtta nende ülekaalukalt ebasoodsaid tagajärgi asjakohastele huvidele, sealhulgas avalikele huvidele. Meetmete võtmata jätmist põhjendatakse kirjalikult. 8. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab vastu või jätab kehtima korra, millega nähakse ette parandusmeetmed või tekkinud kahju hüvitamine, juhul kui läbivaatav asutus on teinud kindlaks, et lõikes 1 osutatud rikkumine või eiramine on aset leidnud. Tekkinud kahju hüvitamine võib piirduda kas pakkumuse ettevalmistus- või vaidlustamiskuludega või mõlemaga. ARTIKKEL 21.18 Kohaldamisala muutmine ja korrigeerimine 1. Euroopa Liit võib muuta või korrigeerida 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ ja Mehhiko võib muuta või korrigeerida 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“. & /et 412 Muudatused 2. Kui lepinguosaline kavatseb muuta vastavalt 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“, siis see lepinguosaline: a) teatab teisele lepinguosalisele sellest kirjalikult ning b) esitab teates ettepaneku teha teise lepinguosalise jaoks sobivad kompenseerivad kohandused, mis võimaldaksid säilitada hõlmavuse tasemel, mis on võrreldav muutmiseelse tasemega. 3. Olenemata lõike 2 punktist b ei pea lepinguosaline esitama kompenseerivaid kohandusi, kui muudatus puudutab hankeüksust, kelle üle lepinguosalisel ei ole tegelikult enam kontrolli või mõju. Valitsuse kontroll või mõju käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hanke üle, mida korraldab 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ C jaoga või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ B või C jao iga osariigi 2. alamnimekirjaga hõlmatud hankeüksus, loetakse tegelikult kaotatuks, kui hankeüksus on avatud konkurentsile turgudel, millele juurdepääs ei ole piiratud. 4. Teine lepinguosaline võib esitada lõike 2 kohaselt teatavaks tehtud kavandatava muudatuse kohta vastuväiteid, kui ta vaidlustab, et: a) lõike 2 punkti b alusel pakutav kohandus on piisav, et säilitada hõlmavus tasemel, mis on võrreldav käesolevas peatükis ette nähtud olemasoleva tasemega; & /et 413 b) muudatus on seotud hankeüksusega, kelle üle lepinguosaline on lõike 3 kohaselt tegelikult kaotanud kontrolli või mõju. Vastuväide tuleb esitada kirjalikult 45 päeva jooksul alates lõike 2 punktis a osutatud teate saamisest või vastasel juhul loetakse, et lepinguosaline on kohanduse või muudatusega nõus, sealhulgas 31. peatüki „Vaidluste lahendamine“ kohaldamisel. Korrigeerimine 5. Järgmisi 21-A lisas „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisas „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ tehtavaid muudatusi käsitatakse puhtformaalset laadi korrigeerimisena, tingimusel et need ei mõjuta käesoleva peatükiga ette nähtud hõlmavust: a) hankeüksuse nime muutmine; b) 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ A–C jaoga hõlmatud kahe või enama üksuse ühinemine ning c) 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ A–C jaoga hõlmatud üksuse jagunemine kaheks või enamaks üksuseks, mis kõik lisatakse 21-A lisa „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisa „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ sama jaoga hõlmatud hankeüksustele. & /et 414 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline teavitab teist lepinguosalist iga kolme aasta järel pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist 21-A lisas „Euroopa Liidu käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ või 21-B lisas „Mehhiko käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud hange“ kavandatavast korrigeerimisest. 7. Lepinguosaline võib esitada teisele lepinguosalisele vastuväite kavandatud korrigeerimise kohta 45 päeva jooksul pärast kõnealust teavitamist. Kui lepinguosaline esitab vastuväite, selgitab ta, miks ei ole kavandatud korrigeerimine tema arvates lõikes 5 osutatud muudatus, ning kirjeldab kavandatud korrigeerimise mõju käesoleva peatükiga ette nähtud hõlmavusele. Kui 45 päeva jooksul pärast teate saamise kuupäeva ei ole kirjalikku vastuväidet esitatud, siis leitakse, et teine lepinguosaline on kavandatud korrigeerimisega nõus. Konsultatsioonid ja vaidluste lahendamine 8. Kui teine lepinguosaline vaidlustab kavandatava muudatuse või korrigeerimise, püüavad lepinguosalised lahendada küsimuse konsultatsioonide teel.

Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et konkurentsivastased ettevõtlustavad ja riigi sekkumine võivad kahjustada turgude nõuetekohast toimimist ning vähendada kaubanduse ja investeerimise liberaliseerimisest tulenevat kasu. Lepinguosalised on üksmeelel, et sellise käitumise keelamine, konkurentsipoliitika rakendamine, toetusmeetmete edendamine ja koostöö käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud küsimustes aitavad tagada käesolevast lepingust tulenevat kasu. & /et 432 ARTIKKEL 23.2 Konkurentsiõigus ja konkurentsi takistavad äritavad 1.

Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab asjakohaseid meetmeid konkurentsivastaste ettevõtlustavade vastu, et soodustada konkurentsipoliitikat. 4. Lepinguosalise õiguses sätestatud ulatuses ei tohiks konkurentsiõiguse kohaldamine takistada ettevõtjatele määratud konkreetsete avalikku huvi pakkuvate ülesannete täitmist de jure ega de facto. Lepinguosalise konkurentsiõigusest peaks tohtima erandeid teha üksnes avalikku huvi pakkuvate ülesannetega seoses ning need peaksid olema proportsionaalsed soovitud avaliku poliitika eesmärkidega ja läbipaistvad.

Lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutus või -asutused ei tohi oma täitmise tagamise poliitika kohaldamisel diskrimineerida täitemenetluse79 kostja või täitemenetluses osaleda lubatud kolmandate isikute kodakondsuse alusel. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kostjale antakse võimalus olla ära kuulatud ja esitada tõendeid enda kaitseks täitemenetluses, millega tehakse kindlaks, kas kostja tegevus on vastuolus lepinguosalise konkurentsiõigusega või milliseid halduskaristusi või õiguskaitsevahendeid tuleks selle õiguse rikkumise eest määrata. Eelkõige tagab kumbki lepinguosaline, et kostjal on piisav võimalus läbi vaadata ja vaidlustada tõendeid, mille alusel need asjaolud võidakse kindlaks teha. 79 Käesoleva artikli tähenduses on täitemenetlus kohtu- või haldusmenetlus, mis järgneb konkurentsiõiguse väidetava rikkumise uurimisele. & /et 435 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema konkurentsiõiguse rikkumise eest halduskaristuse või õiguskaitsevahendi määramist käsitleva otsuse või lahendi adressaadile antakse võimalus taotleda selle otsuse või lahendi kohtulikku läbivaatamist.

Kõnealused haldus- või menetluseeskirjad võivad kummagi lepinguosalise konkurentsiõiguses sätestatud ulatuses hõlmata menetlusi koos mõistlike tähtaegadega tõendite esitamiseks. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et lõpliku otsuse või lahendi mittekonfidentsiaalne versioon, milles on kindlaks tehtud tema konkurentsiõiguse rikkumine ja vajaduse korral lahendi rakendamise korraldus, avaldatakse, et huvitatud isikud saaksid sellega tutvuda. 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kõik lõplikud otsused või lahendid, millega määratakse kindlaks tema konkurentsiõiguse rikkumine, on kirjalikud ning sisaldavad faktilisi järeldusi ja põhjendusi, sealhulgas otsuse või resolutsiooni aluseks olevat õigus- ja vajaduse korral majandusanalüüsi. & /et 436 ARTIKKEL 23.5 Koostöö ja koordineerimine 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad oma konkurentsiasutustevahelise koostöö ja koordineerimise tähtsust nende konkurentsiõiguse ja vabakaubanduspiirkonna poliitikaga seotud küsimustes. Sellest tulenevalt püüavad lepinguosaliste konkurentsiasutused teha koostööd nende konkurentsiõigusega seotud küsimustes, sealhulgas abistamise, teavitamise, konsulteerimise ja teabevahetuse kaudu. 2. Lepinguosalised tugevdavad koostööd oma konkurentsiõiguse normide täitmise tagamise valdkonnas oma seadustele ja olulistele huvidele vastavas ulatuses ning mõistlikult kättesaadavate ressursside piires. Sellel eesmärgil püüavad lepinguosaliste konkurentsiasutused vahetada mittekonfidentsiaalset teavet, kogemusi ja seisukohti järgmise kohta: a) konkurentsiõigus, -poliitika ja -tavad, sealhulgas teave konkurentsiõiguse alusel tehtud erandite kohta; b) konkurentsiõiguse normide täitmise tagamine ning c) toetusmeetmed. & /et 437 3. Lepinguosalised püüavad tugevdada oma konkurentsiasutuste koordineeritust vastastikust huvi pakkuvates valdkondades oma seadustele ja olulistele huvidele vastavas ulatuses ning mõistlikult kättesaadavate piires. Selleks püüavad lepinguosalised võimalikult palju koordineerida normide täitmise tagamise toiminguid, mis on seotud samade või omavahel seotud juhtumitega. 4. Lepinguosalised kinnitavad, et nende konkurentsiasutused tunnustavad konfidentsiaalsuskaitsest loobumise kasutamist normide täitmise tagamise valdkondades ja mõistavad, et ettevõtja otsus loobuda konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitse õigusest on vabatahtlik. 5. Ükski käesoleva artikli säte ei piira lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutuste kaalutlusõigust otsustada, kas võtta meetmeid teise lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutuste konkreetsete taotluste alusel. 6. Käesoleva artikli sätted ei keela lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutustel võtta konkreetsetel juhtudel meetmeid. 7. Lepinguosaliste konkurentsiasutused võivad kaaluda eraldi koostöökokkuleppe sõlmimist, milles on sätestatud vastastikku kokku lepitud koostöötingimused. & /et 438 ARTIKKEL 23.6 Tehniline koostöö Lepinguosalised leiavad, et nende ühistes huvides on toetada käesoleva lepingu eesmärkide täitmist tehnilise koostööga, et jagada kogemusi konkurentsipoliitika väljatöötamise ja rakendamise ning oma konkurentsiõiguse normide täitmise tagamise alal vastavalt kummalegi lepinguosalisele mõistlikult kättesaadavatele ressurssidele. ARTIKKEL 23.7 Konsultatsioonid 1. Lepinguosaliste paremaks vastastikuseks mõistmiseks või käesoleva peatüki tõlgendamise või kohaldamisega seotud konkreetsete küsimuste lahendamiseks alustab lepinguosaline teise lepinguosalise taotlusel konsultatsioone teise lepinguosalise tõstatatud küsimustes. Konsultatsioone taotlev lepinguosaline osutab asjakohasel juhul, kuidas küsimus mõjutab lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust või investeeringuid. 2. Lepinguosalised arutavad viivitamata kõiki käesoleva peatüki tõlgendamisest või kohaldamisest tulenevaid küsimusi. & /et 439 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab anda teisele lepinguosalisele asjakohast mittekonfidentsiaalset teavet, et hõlbustada konsultatsioonide teemaks oleva küsimuse arutamist. ARTIKKEL 23.8 Teabe konfidentsiaalsus 1. Olenemata käesoleva peatüki muudest sätetest ei ole lepinguosaline kohustatud teavet esitama, kui kõnealuse teabe esitamine on teavet valdava lepinguosalise õigusnormidega keelatud. 2. Kui lepinguosaline esitab käesoleva peatüki alusel teavet, säilitab teine lepinguosaline selle teabe konfidentsiaalsuse. 3. Kui lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutused saavad teise lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutustelt konfidentsiaalset teavet, sest konfidentsiaalsuskaitsest on loobutud, kasutavad lepinguosalise konkurentsiasutused saadud teavet vastavalt loobumise tingimustele. & /et 440 ARTIKKEL 23.9 Konkurentsiasutused Käesoleva peatüki tähenduses on konkurentsiasutusteks järgmised organid või nende õigusjärglased: a) Euroopa Liidus: Euroopa Komisjon ning b) Mehhikos: i) riiklik monopolivastane komisjon (Comisión Nacional Antimonopolio) ning ii) telekommunikatsiooni reguleeriv komisjon (Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones (CRT)). & /et 441 ARTIKKEL 23.10 Vaidluste lahendamise kohaldamata jätmine Lepinguosaline ei saa kasutada käesoleva peatüki sätete tõlgendamisel või kohaldamisel 31. peatüki „Vaidluste lahendamine“ kohast vaidluste lahendamist. & /et 442 24. PEATÜKK SUBSIIDIUMID ARTIKKEL 24.1 Mõisted Käesolevas peatükis kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „kaupade subsiidium“ – meede, mis vastab subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu artiklis 1.1 sätestatud tingimustele ning on subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu artiklile 2 vastavalt ja selle tähenduses eripärane; b) „teenuste subsiidium“ – meede, mis hõlmab valitsuse või avalik-õiguslike asutuse rahalist panust ning toob kasu ja on eripärane ettevõtjale või tööstusharule või ettevõtjate või tööstusharude rühmale vastavalt subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu artiklile 2 ja selle tähenduses80. 80 See määratlus ei mõjuta teenuste subsiidiumide mõiste määratluse teemal WTOs edaspidi toimuvate arutelude tulemusi. Sõltuvalt nende arutelude käigust võib kaubandusnõukogu võtta vastu otsuse käesolevat lepingut selles osas kohandada. & /et 443 ARTIKKEL 24.2 Üldpõhimõtted Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et subsiidiume võib anda, kui need on vajalikud avaliku poliitika eesmärgi saavutamiseks. Samas tunnistavad lepinguosalised ka seda, et teatavad subsiidiumid võivad kahjustada turgude nõuetekohast toimimist ning vähendada kaubanduse ja investeeringute liberaliseerimisest tulenevat kasu. Lepinguosaline ei või põhimõtteliselt subsideerida kaupu müüvaid või teenuseid osutavaid ettevõtjaid, kui see kahjustab või võib kahjustada kaubandust või investeeringuid. ARTIKKEL 24.3 Kohaldamisala 1. Käesolevat peatükki kohaldatakse kõigile majandustegevusega tegelevatele ettevõtetele antavate subsiidiumide suhtes. Kui ettevõte tegeleb nii majandustegevusega kui ka mittemajandusliku tegevusega, kohaldatakse käesolevat peatükki ainult selle ettevõtte majandustegevuse suhtes. & /et 444 2. Käesolevat peatükki ei kohaldata subsiidiumide suhtes, mida antakse ettevõtjatele, kellele on tehtud ülesandeks osutada teatavaid avalikku huvi pakkuvaid teenuseid, sealhulgas nendele, kellele on nende ülesannetega seoses antud eri- või eelisõigused, sel määral kui sellised subsiidiumid piirduvad summaga, mis on vajalik kõnealuse teenuse kulude katmiseks. 3. Käesolevat peatükki ei kohaldata põllumajanduskaupade subsiidiumide ega kala- ja kalandustoodete subsiidiumide suhtes. 4. Käesolevat peatükki, välja arvatud artiklit 24.5, ei kohaldata audiovisuaalsektoris antavate subsiidiumide suhtes. 5. Artiklit 24.7 ei kohaldata teenuste subsiidiumide suhtes. ARTIKKEL 24.4 Suhe WTOga Lepinguosalised kinnitavad veel kord oma õigusi ja kohustusi, mis tulenevad GATSi XV artiklist, GATT 1994 XVI artiklist ning subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingust. & /et 445 ARTIKKEL 24.5 Läbipaistvus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline avalikustab tema territooriumil antud või säilitatava subsiidiumi kohta järgmise teabe: a) subsiidiumi õiguslik alus; b) subsiidiumi vorm; c) subsiidiumi suurus või subsiidiumi jaoks eelarvest eraldatud summa ning d) võimaluse korral subsiidiumi saaja nimi81. 2. Lepinguosaline loetakse lõiget 1 järgivaks, kui: a) WTO-le on esitatud subsiidiumide ja tasakaalustusmeetmete lepingu artikli 25.1 kohane teade ja võimaluse korral on saaja nimi avalikustatud või 81 Lõike 1 punkti d kohaldatakse vähemalt 500 000 eriarveldusühikuga subsiidiumide suhtes. & /et 446 b) kõnealune lepinguosaline avalikustab lõikes 1 nõutava teabe ise või see avaldatakse tema nimel avalikult juurdepääsetaval veebisaidil subsiidiumi andmise või säilitamise aastale järgneva kalendriaasta 31. detsembriks82. 3. Käesolevat artiklit kohaldatakse teenuste subsiidiumide suhtes ainult siis, kui: a) subsiidiumi summa abisaaja kohta ületab kolme järjestikuse aasta jooksul 400 000 eriarveldusühikut ning b) subsiidium antakse teenuste osutamiseks järgmistes sektorites: audiovisuaalteenused, telekommunikatsioon, finantsteenused, transport (sealhulgas meretransport), energeetika (sealhulgas elektri jaotamine), keskkond, IT, arhitektuur ja inseneriteadus, ehitus ning posti- ja kullerteenused. 82 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et subsiidiumi või subsiidiumiprogrammi avaldamine veebisaidil ei mõjuta selle õiguslikku staatust ega programmi enda olemust. & /et 447 ARTIKKEL 24.6 Konsultatsioonid 1. Kui lepinguosaline leiab, et teise lepinguosalise antud subsiidium kahjustab või võib kahjustada tema kaubandust või investeeringuid, võib ta väljendada oma muret teisele lepinguosalisele ja taotleda sellel teemal konsultatsioone. Taotluse saanud lepinguosaline kaalub seda taotlust igakülgselt ja heasoovlikult. 2. Konsultatsioonide käigus võib taotlev lepinguosaline nõuda teiselt lepinguosaliselt subsiidiumi kohta lisateavet, näiteks: a) subsiidiumi õiguslik alus ja poliitiline eesmärk või otstarve; b) subsiidiumi vorm; c) subsiidiumi kuupäevad ja kestus ning muud sellega seotud tähtajad; d) subsiidiumi saamise kriteeriumid; e) subsiidiumi kogusumma või aastane summa, mis on eelarvest sellele subsiidiumile eraldatud; & /et 448 f) võimaluse korral subsiidiumi saaja nimi ning g) muu teave, mis võimaldab hinnata subsiidiumi negatiivset mõju kaubandusele või investeeringutele. 3. Taotluse saanud lepinguosaline esitab subsiidiumi kohta asjakohase teabe hiljemalt 60 päeva jooksul pärast lõikes 2 osutatud taotluse saamist. Kui lõike 2 kohaselt nõutud asjakohast teavet kirjalikus vastuses ei esitata, selgitab taotluse saanud lepinguosaline oma kirjalikus vastuses sellise teabe puudumist. 4. Kui taotluse esitanud lepinguosaline teatab pärast lõigete 2 ja 3 kohase teabe saamist taotluse saanud lepinguosalisele, et tema arvates kõnealune subsiidium kahjustab või võib kahjustada tema kaubandust või investeeringuid, teeb taotluse saanud lepinguosaline kõik endast oleneva, et see negatiivne mõju kõrvaldada või seda vähendada ühe aasta jooksul. & /et 449 ARTIKKEL 24.7 Tingimustega seotud subsiidiumid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline kohaldab tingimusi järgmiste subsiidiumide suhtes, kuivõrd need kahjustavad või võivad kahjustada teise lepinguosalise kaubandust või investeeringuid: a) lubatud on subsiidiumid või õiguslik korraldus, mille kohaselt teatavat liiki ettevõtjate võlgade või kohustuste eest vastutab valitsus, tingimusel et nende võlgade ja kohustuste summa või vastutuse kestus on piiratud; b) subsiidiumid raskustes või maksejõuetuse äärel olevatele või maksejõuetutele ettevõtjatele on lubatud järgmistel tingimustel: i) on koostatud usaldusväärne restruktureerimiskava, mis põhineb realistlikel eeldustel ja millega tagatakse ettevõtja pikaajalise elujõulisuse taastumine mõistliku aja jooksul, ning ii) muud ettevõtjad peale väikeste ja keskmise suurusega ettevõte panustavad restruktureerimiskuludesse. & /et 450 2. Lõike 1 punkti b ei tõlgendata nii, et see takistab lepinguosalisel anda ajutist likviidsustoetust laenutagatiste või laenude vormis restruktureerimiskava koostamiseks vajaliku aja jooksul. Selline ajutine likviidsustoetus piirdub summaga, mis on vajalik ettevõtja tegevuse jätkamiseks. ARTIKKEL 24.8 Subsiidiumide kasutamine Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et ettevõtjad kasutavad tema antud subsiidiume üksnes sellel poliitikaeesmärgil, milleks need anti83. ARTIKKEL 24.9 Vaidluste lahendamise kohaldamata jätmine Lepinguosaline ei saa kasutada artikli 24.5 (teenuste subsiidiumide osas) ja artikli 24.6 lõike 4 tõlgendamisel või kohaldamisel 31. peatüki „Vaidluste lahendamine“ kohast vaidluste lahendamist. 83 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lepinguosalise kohustus loetakse täidetuks, kui ta on kehtestanud sellel eesmärgil asjakohase õigusraamistiku ja haldusmenetlused. & /et 451 25. PEATÜKK INTELLEKTUAALOMAND A JAGU Üldsätted ARTIKKEL 25.1 Eesmärgid ja põhimõtted 1. Käesoleva peatüki eesmärk on saavutada kohane ja tõhus intellektuaalomandi õiguste kaitse tase ja tagada intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse, et: a) aidata kaasa tehnoloogiliste uuenduste edendamisele, tehnoloogiasiirdele ja tehnoloogia levitamisele ning tehnoloogiliste teadmiste loojate ja tarbijate vastastikuse kasu saamisele viisil, mis soodustab sotsiaalset ja majanduslikku heaolu ning õiguste ja kohustuste tasakaalustatust, ning b) edendada ja reguleerida lepinguosaliste vahelist kaubandust ning vähendada sellise kaubanduse moonutusi ja takistusi. & /et 452 2. Lepinguosaline võib oma õigusnormide sõnastamisel või muutmisel võtta meetmeid, mis on vajalikud rahvatervise ja toitumise kaitsmiseks ning avalike huvide toetamiseks oma sotsiaal- majandusliku ja tehnoloogilise arengu seisukohalt tähtsates sektorites, tingimusel et sellised meetmed on kooskõlas käesoleva peatükiga. 3. Lepinguosaline võib võtta asjakohaseid meetmeid, tingimusel et need on kooskõlas käesoleva peatüki sätetega, et õiguste omajad ei saaks kuritarvitada intellektuaalomandi õigusi ega oleks võimalik kasutada tavasid, mis piiravad põhjendamatult kaubandust või kahjustavad rahvusvahelist tehnoloogiasiiret. 4. Võttes arvesse siseriiklike süsteemide avaliku poliitika eesmärke, tunnistavad lepinguosalised vajadust: a) edendada innovatsiooni ja loomingulisust; b) hõlbustada teabe, teadmiste, tehnoloogia, kultuuri ja kunsti levikut ning c) soodustada konkurentsi ja avatud ja tõhusaid turge oma intellektuaalomandi süsteemi kaudu, järgides seejuures läbipaistvuse põhimõtet ja võttes arvesse kõigi asjaomaste sidusrühmade, sealhulgas õiguste omajate, kasutajate ja üldsuse huve. & /et 453 ARTIKKEL 25.2 Kohustuste laad ja ulatus 1. Lepinguosalised kohustuvad tagama, et intellektuaalomandit käsitlevaid rahvusvahelisi lepinguid, mille osalised nad on, sealhulgas TRIPS-leping, rakendatakse nõuetekohaselt ja tulemuslikult. Käesolev peatükk täiendab ja täpsustab lepinguosaliste õigusi ja kohustusi, mis tulenevad TRIPS-lepingust ja muudest intellektuaalomandi valdkonnas sõlmitud rahvusvahelistest lepingutest, mille osalised nad on. 2. Käesoleva lepingu kohaldamisel hõlmab mõiste „intellektuaalomandi õigused“ kõiki neid intellektuaalomandi õiguste kategooriaid, mis kuuluvad TRIPS-lepingu II osa 1.–7. jao kohaldamisalasse, ning sordikaitsega seotud õigusi. Intellektuaalomandi kaitse hõlmab kaitset kõlvatu konkurentsi eest, millele on osutatud 20. märtsil 1883. aastal vastu võetud ja viimati 14. juulil 1967. aastal Stockholmis läbi vaadatud tööstusomandi kaitse Pariisi konventsiooni (edaspidi „Pariisi konventsioon“) artiklis 10bis. & /et 454 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline jõustab käesoleva peatüki sätted. Lepinguosaline võib, kuid ei pruugi oma õiguses ette näha intellektuaalomandiõiguste kaitset või intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamist suuremas ulatuses, kui on nõutud käesolevas peatükis, tingimusel et see ei ole käesoleva peatükiga vastuolus. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib vabalt kindlaks määrata asjakohase meetodi käesoleva peatüki rakendamiseks oma õigussüsteemis ja -praktikas. ARTIKKEL 25.3 Õiguste lõppemine Käesolev peatükk ei mõjuta lepinguosaliste vabadust otsustada, kas ja millistel tingimustel kohaldatakse intellektuaalomandi õiguste lõppemist. & /et 455 ARTIKKEL 25.4 Võrdne kohtlemine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline võimaldab teise lepinguosalise kodanikele84 vähemalt sama soodsa kohtlemise kui enda kodanikele seoses käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud intellektuaalomandi õiguste kaitsega,85 välja arvatud erandid, mis on sätestatud Pariisi konventsioonis, 9. septembril 1886. aastal Bernis vastu võetud ja viimati 24. juulil 1971. aastal Pariisis muudetud kirjandus- ja kunstiteoste kaitse konventsioonis (edaspidi „Berni konventsioon“), 26. oktoobril 1961. aastal Roomas sõlmitud teoste esitajate, fonogrammitootjate ja ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide kaitse rahvusvahelises konventsioonis (edaspidi „Rooma konventsioon“) või 26. mail 1989. aastal Washingtonis sõlmitud integraallülitustega seotud intellektuaalomandi lepingus. Teoste esitajate, fonogrammitootjate ning ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide puhul kehtib see kohustus ainult õiguste suhtes, mis on sätestatud käesolevas lepingus. 84 Käesolevas peatükis kohaldatakse mõiste „kodanik“ puhul TRIPS-lepingus kasutatud määratlust. 85 Käesoleva sätte kohaldamisel hõlmab mõiste „kaitse“ nii asjaolusid, mis mõjutavad intellektuaalomandi õiguste kättesaadavust, omandamist, ulatust, säilimist ja tagamist, kui ka asjaolusid, mis mõjutavad käesolevas peatükis konkreetselt käsitletud intellektuaalomandi õiguste kasutamist. & /et 456 2. Lepinguosaline ei nõua käesoleva artikli kohase võrdse kohtlemise tingimusena õiguste omajatelt formaalsuste või tingimuste täitmist autoriõiguse ja sellega kaasnevate õigustega seotud õiguste omandamiseks86. 3. Lepinguosaline võib kasutada lõike 1 alusel lubatud erandeid seoses kohtu- ja haldusmenetlustega, sealhulgas menetlusdokumentide kättetoimetamise aadressi määramine või oma kohtualluvuses esindaja nimetamine, ainult siis, kui: a) need on vajalikud selleks, et tagada vastavus õigusnormidele, mis ei ole vastuolus käesoleva peatükiga, ning b) neid ei rakendata viisil, mis kujutaks endast kaubanduse varjatud piiramist. 4. Lepinguosalisel ei ole käesoleva artikli alusel kohustust seoses menetlustega, mis on ette nähtud Maailma Intellektuaalse Omandi Organisatsiooni (edaspidi „WIPO“) egiidi all sõlmitud mitmepoolsetes lepingutes intellektuaalomandi õiguste saamise ja jõushoidmise kohta. 86 See ei piira Rooma konventsiooni artikli 11 kohaldamist. & /et 457 B JAGU Intellektuaalomandi õiguste standardid B.1 ALAJAGU Autoriõigus ja sellega kaasnevad õigused ARTIKKEL 25.5 Rahvusvahelised lepingud 1.

Kumbki lepinguosaline sätestab esitajate ja fonogrammitootjate õigusena selle, et kasutajal on kohustus maksta ühekordset õiglast tasu, kui kaubanduslikel eesmärkidel avaldatud fonogrammi või sellise fonogrammi reproduktsiooni kasutatakse kaablita vahendite abil ülekandmiseks või muul moel üldsusele edastamiseks90. 89 Kumbki lepinguosaline võib anda esitajatele ja fonogrammitootjatele ulatuslikumaid õigusi kaubanduslikel eesmärkidel avaldatud fonogrammide üldsusele ülekandmiseks ja edastamiseks. 90 Käesoleva artikli tähenduses ei hõlma „üldsusele edastamine“ fonogrammi üldsusele kättesaadavaks tegemist kaabliga või kaablita sidevahendite abil nii, et üksikisikud pääsevad sellele ligi enda valitud kohas ja enda valitud ajal. & /et 463 2. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et ühekordne õiglane tasu tuleks jagada esitajate ja vastavate fonogrammitootjate vahel. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib kehtestada õigusnormid, millega esitajate ja fonogrammitootjate vahelise kokkuleppe puudumise korral nähakse ette tingimused, mille kohaselt esitajad ja fonogrammitootjad peavad kõnealuse ühekordse õiglase tasu omavahel jagama. ARTIKKEL 25.11 Kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg 1. Teose autori õigused kehtivad autori eluajal ja vähemalt 70 aastat pärast tema surma, olenemata kuupäevast, mil teos üldsusele seaduslikult kättesaadavaks tehakse. 2. Sõnalist osa sisaldava muusikateose kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg ei lõpe varem kui 70 aastat pärast järgmistest isikutest viimasena elus olnud isiku surma, olenemata sellest, kas need isikud on määratud kaasautoriks või mitte: sõnade autor ja muusika helilooja91. 91 Lepinguosaline võib otsustada, et käesoleva lõike kohaldamiseks peavad nii sõnad kui ka muusika olema loodud spetsiaalselt asjaomase sõnalist osa sisaldava muusikateose jaoks. & /et 464 3. Anonüümse või pseudonüümse teose puhul ei lõpe kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg varem kui 70 aastat pärast seda, kui teos üldsusele seaduslikult kättesaadavaks tehti. Kui autori kasutatud pseudonüüm ei jäta tema isiku suhtes kahtlust või kui autor avaldab oma isiku esimeses lauses osutatud aja jooksul, siis kohaldatakse lõikes 1 osutatud kaitse kehtivuse tähtaega. 4. Kinematograafilise või audiovisuaalse teose kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg ei lõpe varem kui 70 aastat pärast vähemalt järgmistest isikutest viimasena elus olnud isiku surma olenemata sellest, kas need isikud on määratud kaasautoriks või ei: pearežissöör, stsenaariumi autor, dialoogi autor ning muusika helilooja92. 5. Ringhäälinguorganisatsioonide õigused ei lõpe varem kui 50 aastat pärast ringhäälingusaate esmakordset edastamist kaabliga või kaablita sidevahendite, sealhulgas satelliidi kaudu. 92 Lepinguosaline võib otsustada, et muusika peab olema spetsiaalselt loodud kinematograafilises või audiovisuaalses teoses kasutamiseks. & /et 465 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab,93 et: a) esitajate õiguste kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg lõpeb 75 aasta möödumisel tõlgenduse või esituse esmakordsest salvestamisest fonogrammil või fonogrammil salvestamata teoste esmakordsest tõlgendamisest või esitusest või esmakordsest edastamisest mis tahes viisil ning b) fonogrammitootjate õiguste kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg lõpeb 75 aastat pärast helide esmakordset salvestamist fonogrammil. Alternatiivina tagab lepinguosaline, et: c) esitaja õigused muul viisil kui fonogrammina salvestatud esituse korral ei lõpe varem kui 50 aastat pärast esituse salvestamist ja selle aja jooksul avaldamise korral mitte varem kui 50 aastat pärast esmakordset seaduslikku avaldamist ning d) esitaja õigused fonogrammina salvestatud esituse korral ja fonogrammitootjate õigused ei lõpe varem kui 50 aastat pärast esituse või fonogrammi salvestamist ning selle aja jooksul avaldamise korral mitte varem kui 70 aastat pärast esmakordset seaduslikku avaldamist. Lepinguosaline võtab tõhusad meetmed, et tagada 50aastasele kaitsetähtajale järgneva 20 aasta jooksul teenitud kasumi õiglane jaotamine esitajate ja fonogrammitootjate vahel. 93 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et kumbki lepinguosaline valib oma siseriiklike õigusaktide alusel punktides a ja b osutatud võimaluse või punktides c ja d osutatud alternatiivi vahel. & /et 466 7. Käesolevas artiklis sätestatud kaitsetähtaegu arvestatakse alates sündmusele järgneva aasta 1. jaanuarist. ARTIKKEL 25.12 Edasimüügiõigus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et graafikateose või skulptuurteose autoril, v.a tarbekunst, on võõrandamatu ja juba ette loovutamatu õigusena edasimüügiõigus, mis on määratletud kui õigus saada selle teose edasimüügist saadavast tasust teatav osa94 pärast selle teose esmakordset edastamist autori poolt95. 2. Lõikes 1 osutatud õigust kohaldatakse kõikide edasimüügitehingute suhtes, milles müüjate, ostjate või vahendajatena osalevad elukutselised kunstiturul tegutsejad, näiteks oksjonikorraldajad, kunstigaleriid ja üldiselt kunstiteoste vahendajad. 94 Lepinguosaline võib väljendada seda osa protsendina edasimüügihinnast. 95 Lepinguosaline võib kehtestada edasimüügiõiguse kohaldamiseks miinimumtingimused. & /et 467 ARTIKKEL 25.13 Koostöö õiguste kollektiivse teostamise valdkonnas 1. Lepinguosalised edendavad koostööd oma asjaomaste kollektiivse esindamise organisatsioonide vahel, et soodustada teoste ja muu kaitstud materjali kättesaadavust lepinguosaliste territooriumil ning selliste teoste või muu kaitstud materjali kasutamisega seotud õigustest saadava tulu ülekandmist. 2. Lepinguosalised lepivad kokku, et edendavad kollektiivse esindamise organisatsioonide õigustega isikute seas läbipaistvust ja mittediskrimineerimist, eelkõige seoses õigustest saadava tulu kogumise, selle tulu suhtes kohaldatavate mahaarvamiste, õigustest saadava kogutud tulu kasutamise, jaotamispõhimõtete ja repertuaariga. ARTIKKEL 25.14 Erandid ja piirangud Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb käesolevas alajaos sätestatud õiguste erandid või piirangud ette üksnes teatavatel erijuhtudel, mis ei ole vastuolus teose, esituse, fonogrammi või ülekande tavapärase kasutamisega ega kahjusta põhjendamatult õiguste omaja õigustatud huve. & /et 468 ARTIKKEL 25.15 Tehniliste meetmete kaitse 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette piisava õiguskaitse mis tahes tõhusatest tehnilistest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmise vastu, kui asjaomase teo sooritanud isik on või põhjendatult peab olema teadlik taotletavast kõrvalehoidmise eesmärgist. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette piisava õiguskaitse selliste seadmete, toodete või komponentide tootmise, impordi, levitamise, müügi, rentimise, müügi või rentimise eesmärgil reklaamimise või kaubanduslikul eesmärgil omamise ning selliste teenuste osutamise vastu: a) mida edendatakse, reklaamitakse või turustatakse tõhusatest tehnilistest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmiseks; b) millel puudub muu märkimisväärne kaubanduslik tähtsus peale tõhusatest tehnilistest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmise või c) mis on eelkõige kavandatud, valmistatud, kohandatud või osutatud tõhusatest tehnilistest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmiseks või selle soodustamiseks. & /et 469 3. Käesolevas peatükis tähendab mõiste „tehnilised meetmed“ tehnoloogiat, seadet või komponenti, mille eesmärk tavapärase toimimise puhul on takistada või piirata teoste või muu materjaliga seotud toiminguid, milleks autoriõiguse või sellega kaasnevate õiguste omaja ei ole siseriiklike õigusaktide alusel luba andnud. Tehnilised meetmed on tõhusad juhul, kui õiguste omaja kontrollib kaitstud teose või muu materjali kasutamist kaitse eesmärki täitva juurdepääsu kontrollimise või kaitsevahendi rakendamise abil, näiteks teose või muu materjali krüpteerimise, skrambleerimise või muul viisil muutmise või kopeerimiskaitsemehhanismi abil. 4. Olenemata lõikes 1 sätestatud õiguskaitsest võib kumbki lepinguosaline võtta õiguste omajate vabatahtlikult võetud meetmete puudumise korral vastavalt vajadusele asjakohaseid meetmeid tagamaks, et käesoleva artikli kohaselt ette nähtud piisav õiguskaitse tõhusatest tehnilistest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmise vastu ei takista artikli 25.14 kohaselt ette nähtud eranditest ja piirangutest kasusaajatel selliste erandite ja piirangute kasutamist. & /et 470 ARTIKKEL 25.16 Õiguste teostamist käsitleva teabega seotud kohustused 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette piisava õiguskaitse iga isiku vastu, kes teadlikult ja ilma loata paneb toime mis tahes järgmise teo, kui see isik on teadlik või võib põhjendatult olla teadlik, et tegu korda saates põhjustab, võimaldab, hõlbustab või varjab ta autoriõiguse või sellega kaasnevate õiguste rikkumist: a) eemaldab õiguste teostamist käsitleva elektroonilise teabe või muudab seda või b) levitab, impordib levitamise eesmärgil, kannab ringhäälingus üle, edastab või teeb üldsusele kättesaadavaks käesoleva alajaoga kaitstud teoseid või muud materjali, millelt on loata kõrvaldatud õiguste teostamist käsitlev elektrooniline teave või millel on seda muudetud. 2. Käesoleva alajao kohaldamisel tähendab „õiguste teostamist käsitlev teave“ õiguste omajate esitatavat teavet, mis identifitseerib teose või muu käesolevas alajaos osutatud materjali, autori või mis tahes teise õiguste omaja, või teavet teose või muu materjali kasutamise tingimuste kohta ning sellist teavet esindavaid numbreid või koode. & /et 471 3. Lõiget 2 kohaldatakse juhul, kui selles lõikes nimetatud teave on lisatud teose või muu käesolevas alajaos osutatud materjali koopiale või esitatakse seoses selle edastamisega üldsusele. B.2 ALAJAGU Kaubamärgid ARTIKKEL 25.17 Rahvusvahelised lepingud Kumbki lepinguosaline: a) teeb kõik endast oleneva, et järgida 27. oktoobril 1994 Genfis sõlmitud kaubamärgiõiguse lepingut ja 27. märtsil 2006 Singapuris sõlmitud kaubamärgiõiguse Singapuri lepingut; & /et 472 b) järgib märkide rahvusvahelise registreerimise Madridi kokkuleppe protokolli, mis võeti vastu 27. juunil 1989 Madridis ja mida viimati muudeti 12. novembril 2007, ning märkide registreerimisel kasutatava kaupade ja teenuste rahvusvahelise klassifikatsiooni Nizza kokkulepet, mis sõlmiti Nice’is 15. juunil 1957 ja mida muudeti 28. septembril 1979 (edaspidi „Nizza klassifikatsioon“). ARTIKKEL 25.18 Registreerimismenetlus 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette kaubamärkide registreerimise süsteemi, mille raames kõik asjaomase kaubamärgiasutuse tehtud lõplikud negatiivsed otsused, sealhulgas registreerimisest osalise keeldumise kohta, on nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud ja need võib edasi kaevata ning need tehakse kirjalikult teatavaks. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette võimaluse vaidlustada kaubamärkide registreerimise taotlusi või asjakohasel juhul kaubamärkide registreeringuid ning kaubamärgi taotleja võimaluse esitada vaidlustamisele96 vastuväite. 96 Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb kõik mõistlikud jõupingutused, et vaidlustamiseks kasutataks ärakuulamismenetlust. & /et 473 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette kaubamärgitaotluste ja registreeringute avaliku elektroonilise andmebaasi. ARTIKKEL 25.19 Kaubamärgist tulenevad õigused 1. Registreeritud kaubamärk annab omanikule selle kasutamise ainuõiguse. Omanikul on õigus takistada kõikidel kolmandatel isikutel kasutada kaubandustegevuse käigus ilma tema loata: a) kaubamärgiga identseid tähiseid kaupade või teenuste puhul, mis on identsed nendega, mille jaoks kaubamärk on registreeritud, ning b) tähist, mille identsuse või sarnasuse tõttu kaubamärgiga ning kaubamärgi ja tähisega hõlmatud kaupade või teenuste identsuse või sarnasuse tõttu on tõenäoline, et üldsus võib need omavahel segi ajada, mis hõlmab ka tõenäosust, et tähist seostatakse kaubamärgiga. & /et 474 2. Registreeritud kaubamärgi omanikul on õigus takistada kõiki kolmandaid isikuid toomast kaubandustegevuse käigus kaupu selle lepinguosalise territooriumile, kus kaubamärk on registreeritud, ilma et neid seal vabasse ringlusse lubataks, kui sellised kaubad, sealhulgas pakendid, pärinevad kolmandatest riikidest ja kannavad ilma loata kaubamärki, mis on identne selliste kaupade jaoks registreeritud kaubamärgiga või mida ei ole võimalik olulistes aspektides kõnealusest kaubamärgist eristada97. ARTIKKEL 25.20 Tuntud kaubamärgid Üldtuntud kaubamärkide kaitsmiseks vastavalt Pariisi konventsiooni artiklile 6bis ning TRIPS- lepingu artikli 16 lõigetele 2 ja 3 kohaldab kumbki lepinguosaline ühissoovitust tuntud kaubamärke käsitlevate sätete kohta, mille tööstusomandi kaitse Pariisi konventsiooni assamblee ja WIPO peaassamblee võtsid vastu 20.–29. septembril 1999. aastal toimunud WIPO liikmesriikide assambleede 34. istungjärgul. 97 Lepinguosaline võib sätestada, et kaubamärgi omaniku õigus lõpeb, kui kauba deklarant või valdaja esitab registreeritud kaubamärgi rikkumise tuvastamise menetluse käigus tõendid selle kohta, et registreeritud kaubamärgi omanikul ei ole õigust keelata kauba turule laskmist lõppsihtkohariigis. & /et 475 ARTIKKEL 25.21 Pahausksed taotlused Kumbki lepinguosaline võib ette näha, et kaubamärki ei registreerita, kui taotleja esitas kaubamärgi registreerimise taotluse pahauskselt. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et kui selline kaubamärk on juba registreeritud, tunnistatakse see kehtetuks. ARTIKKEL 25.22 Tühistamine 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et kaubamärgi võib tühistada,98 kui seda ei ole tema õigusnormidega kindlaks määratud ajavahemiku jooksul asjaomasel territooriumil tegelikult kasutatud99 seoses kaupade või teenustega, mille jaoks see on registreeritud, ning kasutamata jätmiseks ei ole mõjuvaid põhjusi. 98 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lepinguosaline võib määratleda tühistamisena kehtetuks tunnistamise, aegumise või tühisuse. 99 Lepinguosaline võib nõuda, et kasutamine oleks tõeline või toimuks piisavalt sageli või sellisel viisil, et see vastaks kaubanduslikule kasutamisele. Lisaks võib lepinguosaline eirata kasutamise alustamist või jätkamist, mis toimub vahetult enne tühistamistaotluse esitamist. & /et 476 2. Kaubamärgi võib tühistada ka siis, kui pärast selle registreerimise kuupäeva on kaubamärk omaniku tegevuse või tegevusetuse tagajärjel muutunud selle toote või teenuse üldnimetuseks, mille jaoks see on registreeritud. 3. Kaubamärgi võib tühistada ka siis, kui see registreeriti vaatamata sellele, et sellega on üldsust võimalik eksitada seoses selliste kaupade või teenuste laadi, kvaliteedi või geograafilise päritoluga, mille jaoks kaubamärk registreeriti100. ARTIKKEL 25.23 Erandid kaubamärgist tulenevatest õigustest Kumbki lepinguosaline: a) näeb ette kirjeldavate terminite ausa kasutamise101 kui kaubamärkidega antavate õiguste piiratud erandi ning 100 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lepinguosaline võib kaubamärgi tühistada ka siis, kui selle tagajärjel, kuidas kaubamärgiomanik on kaubamärki kasutanud kaupadel või teenustel, mille jaoks see kaubamärk registreeriti, või kuidas seda on tema nõusolekul tehtud, võib kaubamärk avalikkust eksitada. 101 Kirjeldavate terminite aus kasutamine hõlmab selliste tähiste kasutamist, mis viitavad kaupade või teenuste geograafilisele päritolule, juhul kui selline kasutamine on kooskõlas ausate tööstus- või kaubandustavadega. & /et 477 b) võib sätestada muud piiratud erandid, tingimusel et selliste erandite puhul võetakse arvesse kaubamärgi omanike ja kolmandate isikute seaduslikke huve. B.3 ALAJAGU Tööstusdisainilahendused ARTIKKEL 25.24 Rahvusvahelised lepingud Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb kõik mõistlikud jõupingutused, et ühineda 2. juulil 1999 Genfis vastu võetud tööstusdisainilahenduste rahvusvahelise registreerimise Haagi kokkuleppe Genfi redaktsiooniga. & /et 478 ARTIKKEL 25.25 Registreeritud tööstusdisainilahenduste kaitse 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette sõltumatult loodud uute või originaalsete tööstusdisainilahenduste kaitse102. Kaitse tagatakse registreerimisega ja see annab nende omanikele ainuõiguse vastavalt käesolevale alajaole. 2. Registreeritud tööstusdisainilahenduse omanikul peab olema õigus takistada kolmandaid isikuid ilma omaniku nõusolekuta vähemalt kasutamast ja eelkõige valmistamast, müügiks pakkumast, müümast, turule laskmast, importimast või kasutamast tooteid, mis kannavad või sisaldavad kaitstud tööstusdisainilahendust, kui selline tegevus toimub kaubanduslikul eesmärgil, kahjustab põhjendamatult tööstusdisainilahenduse tavapärast kasutamist või ei ole kooskõlas õiglase kaubandustavaga. 3. Tööstusdisainilahendus, mida on kasutatud või mis sisaldub mitmeosalise toote koostisosaks olevas tootes, loetakse uueks ja originaalseks üksnes: a) juhul, kui koostisosa on pärast mitmeosalisse tootesse paigutamist toote tavapärasel kasutamisel nähtav, ning b) sel määral, mil need koostisosa nähtavad omadused vastavad uudsuse või originaalsuse tingimustele. 102 Kui see on lepinguosalise õigusega ette nähtud, võidakse nõuda ka disainilahenduste eristatavust. & /et 479 4. Lõike 3 punktis a kasutatud mõiste „tavapärane kasutamine“ tähendab kasutamist lõppkasutaja poolt, välja arvatud hooldus, teenindus ja parandustööd. ARTIKKEL 25.26 Kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg Kaitse kehtivuse tähtaja määrab kindlaks kumbki lepinguosaline ja seda võib pikendada üheks või mitmeks viieaastaseks perioodiks ning kaitse kehtivuse tähtaeg kokku võib olla 25 aastat alates taotluse esitamise kuupäevast. ARTIKKEL 25.27 Erandid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib tööstusdisainilahenduste kaitsmisel ette näha piiratud erandeid tingimusel, et sellised erandid ei ole põhjendamatult vastuolus kaitstud tööstusdisainilahenduse tavapärase kasutamisega ega tekita põhjendamatut kahju kaitstud tööstusdisainilahenduse omaniku õigustatud huvidele, võttes arvesse kolmandate isikute õigustatud huve. & /et 480 2. Tööstusdisainilahenduse kaitse ei laiene disainilahendustele, mis tulenevad peamiselt tehnilistest või funktsionaalsetest kaalutlustest. Eelkõige ei kaitsta tööstusdisainilahendust, kui see seisneb toote välisomadustes, mida tuleb kindlasti täpselt sama kuju ja suurusega reprodutseerida, selleks et toodet, milles tööstusdisainilahendus sisaldub või millel seda on kasutatud, saaks mehaaniliselt ühendada teise tootega või paigutada selle sisse, ümber või külge nii, et kumbki toode saaks täita oma otstarvet. 3. Erandina lõikest 2 võib tööstusdisainilahenduse õigus seisneda tööstusdisainilahenduses, mille eesmärk on võimaldada mitme vastastikku vahetatava toote kokkupanemist või ühendamist moodulsüsteemi raames. ARTIKKEL 25.28 Seos autoriõigusega Tööstusdisainilahendus on alates kuupäevast, mil see loodi või mis tahes kujul fikseeriti, kaitsekõlblik ka asjaomase lepinguosalise autoriõiguse normide alusel. Kumbki lepinguosaline määrab sellise autoriõiguse kaitse ulatuse ja andmise tingimused, sealhulgas nõutava algupärasuse taseme. & /et 481 B.4 ALAJAGU Geograafilised tähised ARTIKKEL 25.29 Mõisted Käesolevas alajaos kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „geograafiline tähis“ – tähis, mis näitab, et kaup on pärit lepinguosalise territooriumilt või selle territooriumi teatavast piirkonnast või paikkonnast, kui kauba teatav omadus, maine või muu iseloomulik tunnus on olulisel määral seostatav kauba geograafilise päritoluga, ning b) „tooteklass“ – Nizza klassifikatsiooni klasside loetellu kuuluv klass. & /et 482 ARTIKKEL 25.30 Rahvusvahelised lepingud Lepinguosalised kinnitavad oma kohustust kaitsta oma territooriumil geograafilisi tähiseid vastavalt TRIPS-lepingu artiklitele 22, 23 ja 24. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb kõik mõistlikud jõupingutused, et järgida 20. mail 2015. aastal Genfis vastu võetud päritolunimetuste kaitset ja nende rahvusvahelist registreerimist käsitleva Lissaboni kokkuleppe Genfi redaktsiooni. ARTIKKEL 25.31 Kohaldamisala 1. Käesolevat alajagu kohaldatakse selliste geograafiliste tähiste tunnustamise ja kaitse suhtes, millega identifitseeritakse asjakohasesse tooteklassi kuuluvad kaubad ja mis on loetletud 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“. & /et 483 2. Lepinguosalised kaaluvad käesoleva alajaoga hõlmatud geograafilistele tähiste kohaldamisala laiendamist ka muude tooteklasside geograafilistele tähistele peale toiduainete ja põllumajandustoodete. Sellel põhjusel on lepinguosalised lisanud 25-C lisasse „Mehhiko geograafilised tähised vastavalt artikli 25.31 lõikele 2“ nimetused, millega identifitseeritakse nende territooriumilt pärit ja seal kaitstavad tooted, mille lisamist käesoleva lepinguga ettenähtud kaitse kohaldamisalasse kaalutakse käesoleva lepinguga ettenähtud kaitse kohaldamisala laiendamise korral, kui käesolevas alajaos sätestatud menetlused on lõpule viidud103. ARTIKKEL 25.32 Loetletud geograafilised tähised Käesolevas alajaos on: a) 25-B lisa „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ A osas loetletud tähiste puhul tegemist geograafiliste tähistega, mis näitavad, et toode on pärit Euroopa Liidu territooriumilt või selle territooriumi piirkonnast või paikkonnast, ning 103 Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et kaubamärgitaotluste hindamisega seoses on need nimetused kaitstud päritoluriigis, niivõrd kui see on lepinguosalise õiguse alusel asjakohane. & /et 484 b) 25-B lisa „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ B osas loetletud tähiste puhul tegemist geograafiliste tähistega, mis näitavad, et toode on pärit Mehhiko territooriumilt või selle territooriumi piirkonnast või paikkonnast. ARTIKKEL 25.33 Kehtestatud geograafilised tähised Olles kaalunud 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ loetletud nimetusi ja lõpule viinud vastuväitemenetluse vastavalt 25-A lisale „Vastuväitemenetluse põhielemendid“, kaitseb kumbki lepinguosaline neid geograafilisi tähiseid vastavalt käesolevas alajaos sätestatud kaitse tasemele. & /et 485 ARTIKKEL 25.34 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ loetletud geograafiliste tähiste kaitse 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette õiguslikud abinõud, mis võimaldavad huvitatud isikutel takistada: a) teise lepinguosalise 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“104 loetletud geograafilise tähise kasutamist kauba puhul, mis kuulub selle geograafilise tähise jaoks sätestatud tooteklassi ja mis: i) ei pärine 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ selle geograafilise tähise jaoks sätestatud päritoluriigist või ii) pärineb 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ selle geograafilise tähise jaoks sätestatud päritoluriigist, kuid seda ei toodetud ega valmistatud kooskõlas teise lepinguosalise õigusnormidega, mida kohaldataks juhul, kui kaup oleks ette nähtud tarbimiseks teise lepinguosalise territooriumil; 104 Seoses 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ esitatud geograafiliste tähiste loeteluga ei hõlma käesoleva artikli kohane kaitse liites 25-B-1 „Üksiksõnad geograafilise liittähise osana“ sätestatud geograafilise tähise liitnimetusse kuuluvaid üksiksõnu. & /et 486 b) kõigi selliste kauba tähistamise või tutvustamise viiside kasutamist, mis näitavad või lubavad oletada, et kõnealune kaup pärineb mujalt kui sellest geograafilisest piirkonnast, kust see tegelikult pärit on, eksitades üldsust kauba geograafilise päritolu suhtes, ning c) muu kasutamise eest, mille puhul on tegemist kõlvatu konkurentsiga Pariisi konventsiooni artikli 10bis tähenduses. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline annab lõike 1 punktis a nimetatud kaitse ka siis, kui on märgitud kauba tegelik geograafiline päritolu või geograafilist tähist kasutatakse tõlkes või nimetusele lisatakse sellised väljendid nagu „liik“, „tüüp“, „stiil“, „imitatsioon“ või muu sarnane väljend. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb haldusmeetmetega ja oma õigusaktides sätestatud vormis ette õiguskaitse järgmise vastu: a) kaitstud nimetuse otsene või kaudne kaubanduslikul eesmärgil kasutamine; b) kaitstud nimetuse võltsimine, muutmine või petlik kasutamine; c) vale või eksitav viitamine kaitstud nimetusele või d) tegevus, mis võib jätta tarbijale vale mulje kauba tegeliku päritolu, lähtekoha ja laadi kohta. & /et 487 4. Käesoleva alajao alusel kaitstavad geograafilised tähised ei muutu lepinguosaliste territooriumil üldmõisteteks. 5. Vastavalt käesolevale alajaole ei ole lepinguosalisel kohustust kaitsta teise lepinguosalise geograafilist tähist, mida ei kaitsta või mille kaitsmine on lõpetatud selle lepinguosalise territooriumil, kust see on pärit. Lepinguosalised teavitavad üksteist, kui geograafilist tähist nende territooriumil enam ei kaitsta. Teavitada tuleb kolme kuu jooksul pärast seda, kui pädev asutus on teinud lõpliku otsuse, et geograafilist tähist enam ei kaitsta. 6. Käesoleva artikli sätteid kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis 27. mail 1997. aastal Brüsselis sõlmitud Euroopa Ühenduse ja Mehhiko Ühendriikide vahelise piiritusjookide nimetuste vastastikuse tunnustamise ja kaitse kokkuleppe (edaspidi „piiritusjookide kokkulepe“) I ja II lisas esitatud nimetuste loetelu suhtes. ARTIKKEL 25.35 Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu muutmine 1. Kaubandusnõukogu võib kooskõlas artikliga 25.42 otsustada muuta 25-B lisa „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“, lisades või parandades geograafilisi tähiseid või jättes välja geograafilised tähised, mida nende päritolukohas enam ei kaitsta või ei kasutata. Need otsused valmistab ette intellektuaalomandi allkomitee. & /et 488 2. Uued geograafilised tähised lisatakse kaubandusnõukogu otsusega pärast seda, kui esitatud nimetused on läbi vaadatud ja artiklis 25.33 osutatud vastuväitemenetlus on lõpule viidud. 3. Kaubandusnõukogu võib uute geograafiliste tähiste puhul oma otsusega muuta piiritusjookide kokkuleppe I ja II lisa artiklis 25.33 sätestatud korras. ARTIKKEL 25.36 Geograafiliste tähiste kasutamise õigus 1. Käesoleva alajao alusel kaitstavat geograafilist tähist võib kasutada iga ettevõtja, kes turustab asjakohasele tehnilisele kirjeldusele vastavat kaupa. 2. Kui geograafiline tähis on käesoleva alajao kohaselt kaitstud, ei saa selle kaitstud geograafilise tähise kasutamise eeltingimuseks kehtestada kasutaja registreerimist või muid nõudeid. 3. Geograafilisele tähisele viitavaid tähiseid, lühendeid ja sümboleid tohib kasutada ainult vastaval territooriumil kaitstud või registreeritud kauba puhul, mis on toodetud vastava tehnilise kirjelduse kohaselt. & /et 489 ARTIKKEL 25.37 Kaubamärkide ja geograafiliste tähiste seos 1. Käesolev alajagu ei mõjuta õigusi, mis on lepinguosalise territooriumil antud varasema kaubamärgiga, mida taotleti või mis registreeriti heas usus, või mis omandati heauskse kasutamise kaudu. Kaubamärgiga antud õiguste suhtes kehtib piiratud erand, et teatavatel juhtudel ei pruugi varasem kaubamärk anda selle omanikule õigust takistada registreeritud geograafilisele tähisele kaitse andmist või selle kasutamist selle lepinguosalise territooriumil, kus kaubamärki taotletakse, kus see registreeritakse või kus seda kasutatakse. Registreeritud geograafilise tähise kaitse ei piira mingil muul viisil selle kaubamärgiga antud õigusi, sealhulgas võimalust taotleda tunnuse uuendamist või muutmist, tingimusel et muudatus ei kujuta endast kõlvatut konkurentsi. 2. Lepinguosaline ei ole artikli 25.34 alusel kohustatud kaitsma geograafilise tähisena nimetust, kui asjaomane nimetus eksitab tõenäoliselt tarbijat kauba tegeliku olemuse osas, võttes arvesse kaubamärgi mainet ja tuntust ning kasutamise aega. 3. 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ loetletud geograafiliste tähiste puhul, mida nende päritolukoha lepinguosaline kaitseb jätkuvalt geograafiliste tähistena, keeldub lepinguosaline kaubamärgi registreerimisest või tunnistab selle kehtetuks ex officio vastavalt artiklile 25.39 ja TRIPS-lepingu artikli 22 lõikele 3, kui seda lubab tema õigus või taotleb huvitatud isik, tingimusel et: a) kaubamärgi registreerimine oleks vastuolus artikliga 25.34; & /et 490 b) kaubamärk on seotud sama või sarnase kaubaga; c) kaubamärk on seotud kaubaga, millel ei ole asjaomase geograafilise tähise päritolu, ning d) kaubamärgi registreerimise taotlus esitatakse pärast asjaomase lepinguosalise territooriumil geograafilise tähise kaitse taotluse esitamise kuupäeva. 4. Artiklis 25.32 nimetatud geograafiliste tähiste puhul on lõike 3 punktis d nimetatud kaitsetaotluse esitamise kuupäev käesoleva lepingu sõlmimise kuupäev. 5. Artiklis 25.35 nimetatud geograafiliste tähiste puhul on kaitsetaotluse esitamise kuupäev vastuväitemenetluses geograafilise tähise avaldamise kuupäev. 6. 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ loetletud geograafiliste tähiste kaitse ei alga enne käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäeva. & /et 491 ARTIKKEL 25.38 Kaitse tagamine Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab artiklites 25.34–25.37 sätestatud kaitse asjakohaste haldus- või kohtumenetlustega vastavalt oma õigusele ja tavadele. Pädevad asutused tagavad selle kaitse ühel või mõlemal järgmistest viisidest: a) omal algatusel või b) huvitatud isiku taotlusel. ARTIKKEL 25.39 Üldnormid 1. Lepinguosaliselt ei saa käesoleva alajao alusel nõuda, et ta kaitseks geograafilise tähisena nimetust, mis on vastuolus taimesordi või loomatõu nimetusega ning mis seetõttu tõenäoliselt eksitab tarbijat kauba tegeliku päritolu osas. & /et 492 2. Homonüümset nimetust, mis tõenäoliselt tekitab tarbijas eksliku arvamuse, et kaup on pärit muult territooriumilt, ei registreerita geograafilise tähisena, isegi kui nimetus on kauba tegeliku päritoluterritooriumi, -piirkonna või -koha osas täpne. Ilma et see piiraks TRIPS-lepingu artikli 23 kohaldamist, määravad lepinguosalised ühiselt kindlaks otstarbekohased tingimused, mille alusel täielikult või osaliselt homonüümseid geograafilisi tähiseid üksteisest eristada, võttes arvesse vajadust tagada asjaomaste tootjate õiglane kohtlemine ning hoiduda tarbijate eksitamisest. 3. Kui üks lepinguosaline teeb kolmanda riigiga peetavate kahepoolsete läbirääkimiste raames ettepaneku kõnealuse kolmanda riigi geograafilise tähise kaitsmiseks ning see nimetus on täielikult või osaliselt homonüümne teise lepinguosalise geograafilise tähisega, teatab ta sellest teisele lepinguosalisele ja annab talle võimaluse esitada märkusi enne selle nimetuse kaitse alla võtmist. 4. Käesolevas alajaos nimetatud tehnilise kirjelduse, sealhulgas selle muudatused, kiidavad heaks selle lepinguosalise ametiasutused, kelle territooriumilt kaup pärineb. & /et 493 ARTIKKEL 25.40 Erandid 1. Ükski käesoleva alajao säte ei kohusta lepinguosalist kohaldama selle sätteid teise lepinguosalise geograafilise tähise või mitmeosalises geograafilises tähises sisalduva üksiknimetuse suhtes seoses kaupade või teenustega, mille puhul asjaomane tähis on identne kõnealuse lepinguosalise territooriumil tavalises keelepruugis asjaomaste kaupade või teenuste üldnimetusena kasutatava terminiga. 2. Kui geograafilise tähise tõlge on identne lepinguosalise territooriumil tavalises keelepruugis kauba üldnimetusena kasutatava terminiga või sisaldab seda või kui geograafiline tähis ei ole identne, kuid sisaldab sellist terminit, ei piira käesolev alajagu ühegi isiku õigust kasutada seda terminit seoses kõnealuse kaubaga selle lepinguosalise territooriumil. 3. Selle kindlakstegemisel, kas termin on lepinguosalise territooriumil tavalises keelepruugis kauba üldnimetusena kasutatav termin, on selle lepinguosalise ametiasutustel õigus võtta arvesse seda, kuidas tarbijad seda terminit tema territooriumil mõistavad. Tarbijate arusaama kindlaksmääramisel võivad asjakohasteks teguriteks olla: a) usaldusväärsetest allikatest, näiteks sõnastikest, ajalehtedest ja asjakohastelt veebisaitidelt saadud tõendid selle kohta, kas terminit kasutatakse kõnealusele kaubale viitamisel, ning & /et 494 b) kuidas selle terminiga tähistatavat kaupa turustatakse ja kasutatakse selle lepinguosalise territooriumil toimuvas kaubanduses105. 4. Ükski käesoleva alajao säte ei takista kasutamast lepinguosalise territooriumil kaubaga seoses taimesordi või loomatõu tavanimetust, mis on olemas selle lepinguosalise territooriumil käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäeval. 5. Ükski käesoleva lepingu säte ei piira ühegi isiku õigust kasutada äritegevuses enda või oma ärialase eelkäija nime, välja arvatud juhul, kui sellist nime kasutatakse üldsust eksitaval viisil. ARTIKKEL 25.41 Kehtiva lepingu inkorporeerimine 1. Piiritusjookide kokkulepe inkorporeeritakse käesolevasse lepingusse ja muudetakse mutatis mutandis selle osaks106. 105 Käesoleva lõike kohaldamisel võivad lepinguosalise ametiasutused võtta vajaduse korral arvesse, kas seda terminit kasutatakse lepinguosalise tunnustatud asjakohastes rahvusvahelistes standardites lepinguosalise territooriumil kasutatavale kaubaliigile või - klassile viitamiseks. 106 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et see hõlmab kõiki piiritusjookide kokkuleppe varasemaid ja tulevasi muudatusi. & /et 495 2. Artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti k alusel asutatud intellektuaalomandi allkomitee asendab piiritusjookide kokkuleppe artikliga 17 loodud ühiskomiteed ja täidab kõnealuses artiklis sätestatud ülesandeid. ARTIKKEL 25.42 Koostöö 1. Artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti k alusel asutatud intellektuaalomandi allkomitee on sobiv organ käesoleva alajao rakendamise ja selle juhtimise jälgimiseks. 2. Lepinguosalised teavitavad teineteist, kui 25-B lisas „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ loetletud geograafiline tähis ei ole asjaomase lepinguosalise territooriumil enam kaitstud. Pärast sellist teavitamist valmistab intellektuaalomandi allkomitee kaubandusnõukogule ette otsuse muuta 25- B lisa „Geograafiliste tähiste loetelu“ käesolevas lepingus sätestatud korra kohaselt. 3. Lepinguosaline võib kas otse või intellektuaalomandi allkomitee kaudu taotleda, et teine lepinguosaline esitaks teavet tehniliste kirjelduste ja nende muudatuste kohta. & /et 496 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib teha hispaania või inglise keeles avalikult kättesaadavaks tehnilised kirjeldused, mis vastavad teise lepinguosalise käesoleva alajao alusel kaitstud geograafilistele tähistele107. 5. Kaitstud geograafiliste tähiste tehnilistest kirjeldustest tulenevaid küsimusi käsitleb intellektuaalomandi allkomitee. ARTIKKEL 25.43 Lepinguosalise õiguse kohane kaitse Käesolev alajagu ei piira ühe lepinguosalise geograafilise tähise omaniku õigust taotleda geograafilise tähise tunnustamist ja kaitset teises lepinguosalises selle lepinguosalise õiguse alusel. 107 Mehhiko võib teha need tehnilised kirjeldused avalikult kättesaadavaks hispaania või inglise keeles. & /et 497 B.5 ALAJAGU Patendid ARTIKKEL 25.44 Rahvusvahelised lepingud Kumbki lepinguosaline järgib 19. juunil 1970 Washingtonis sõlmitud patendikoostöö lepingut, mida muudeti 28. septembril 1979 ja viimati 3. oktoobril 2001, ning tunnistab, et tähtis on vastu võtta või säilitada menetlusstandardid, mis on kooskõlas 1. juunil 2000 Genfis vastu võetud patendiõiguse lepinguga. ARTIKKEL 25.45 Patendid ja rahvatervis 1. Käesolevas alajaos sätestatud õigused ja kohustused ei takista lepinguosalist võtmast meetmeid rahvatervise kaitseks. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad 14. novembril 2001 Dohas vastu võetud TRIPS-lepingu ja rahvatervise deklaratsiooni (edaspidi „Doha deklaratsioon“) tähtsust ja kinnitavad oma tahet seda järgida. Lepinguosalised tagavad käesolevas alajaos sätestatud õiguste ja kohustuste tõlgendamisel ning rakendamisel kooskõla Doha deklaratsiooniga. & /et 498 2. Lepinguosalised aitavad kaasa Doha deklaratsiooni lõiget 6 käsitleva WTO peanõukogu 30. augusti 2003. aasta otsuse ning 6. detsembri 2005. aasta protokolli (millega muudetakse TRIPS- lepingut) rakendamisele ja järgivad neid. ARTIKKEL 25.46 Täiendav kaitse ravimi, sealhulgas bioloogilise ravimi müügiloa andmise viivituse korral108 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et ravimite, sealhulgas bioloogiliste ravimite109 suhtes, mida nende asjaomasel territooriumil kaitstakse patendiga, võidakse kohaldada enne turule laskmist halduslikku loamenetlust110. Nad tunnistavad, et patendiga antava tõhusa kaitse periood võib lüheneda selle ajavahemiku võrra, mis jääb patenditaotluse esitamise ja toote vastavale turule laskmise loa andmise vahele, mis on määratletud lepinguosalise asjakohaste õigusaktide alusel. 108 Mehhiko täidab käesolevas artiklis sätestatud kohustused hiljemalt kahe aasta jooksul pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist. 109 Kumbki lepinguosaline määrab kindlaks, millised tooted kuuluvad mõistete „ravimid“ ja „bioloogilised ravimid“ alla vastavalt tema 21. aprillil 2018. aastal kehtinud õigusaktidele. 110 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et mõiste „marketing approval“ (müügiloa andmine) on samaväärne mõistega „marketing authorisation“. & /et 499 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette piisava ja tõhusa mehhanismi, millega hüvitada patendiomanikule patendi tegeliku eluea vähenemine, mis tuleneb põhjendamatutest viivitustest111 esimese müügiloa andmisel tema territooriumil. Selline hüvitis antakse täiendava sui generis kaitse vormis, mis on võrdne ajaga, mille võrra joonealuses märkuses osutatud kaheaastane ajavahemik on ületatud. Sellise täiendava kaitse kestus ei ületa viit aastat112. 3. Lepinguosaline võib alternatiivina lõikele 2 lubada pikendada patendikaitsega antavate õiguste kehtivusaega kuni viis aastat,113 et hüvitada patendiomanikule patendi tegeliku kehtivusaja lühenemine, mis tuleneb müügiloa andmise menetlusest. Patendikaitsega antavate õiguste kehtivusaja pikendamine hakkab kehtima patendi seadusega ette nähtud tähtaja lõppemisel ajavahemikuks, mis vastab patenditaotluse esitamise kuupäeva ja toote selle lepinguosalise turule lubamiseks esmase müügiloa väljaandmise kuupäeva vahelisele ajale, mida vähendatakse viie aasta võrra. 111 Käesoleva artikli kohaldamisel hõlmab põhjendamatu viivitus vähemalt seda, kui taotlejale esmase vastuse andmisega viivitatakse pärast müügiloa taotluse esitamist rohkem kui kaks aastat. Viivituse kestuse kindlakstegemisel ei pea arvesse võtma müügiloa andmise käigus tekkinud viivitusi, mille on tinginud taotleja, ega ajavahemikku, mille üle müügiluba andval asutusel puudub kontroll. 112 Kui lepinguosaline järgib käesolevat lõiget, ei ole see lepinguosaline kohustatud järgima lõikes 3 sätestatud alternatiivi. 113 Seda ajavahemikku on võimalik ravimite puhul kuue kuu võrra pikendada, kui on tehtud pediaatrilised uuringud ja nende uuringute tulemused kajastuvad tootekirjelduses. & /et 500 4. Käesolevast artiklist tulenevate kohustuste täitmisel võib kumbki lepinguosaline määrata tingimused ja piirangud eeldusel, et lepinguosaline jätkab käesoleva artikli täitmist. 5. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb kõik endast oleneva, et menetleda ravimite müügiloa taotlusi tõhusalt ja õigel ajal, et vältida põhjendamatuid või tarbetuid viivitusi. Põhjendamatute viivituste vältimiseks võib lepinguosaline vastu võtta või säilitada müügiloa taotluse läbivaatamist kiirendavad menetlused. B.6 ALAJAGU Taimesordid ARTIKKEL 25.47 Rahvusvahelised lepingud Kumbki lepinguosaline kaitseb taimesorte vastavalt rahvusvahelisele uute taimesortide kaitse konventsioonile, mis võeti vastu Pariisis 2. detsembril 1961 ja vaadati viimati läbi Genfis 19. märtsil 1991, sealhulgas aretaja õigust käsitlevale erandile, millele on osutatud kõnealuse konventsiooni artiklis 15, ning teevad koostööd nende õiguste edendamiseks ja kaitsmiseks114. 114 Mehhiko rakendab selle sätte hiljemalt nelja aasta jooksul pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäeva. & /et 501 B.7 ALAJAGU Avalikustamata teabe kaitse ARTIKKEL 25.48 Ärisaladuste kaitse ulatus 1. Pariisi konventsiooni artiklis 10bis sätestatud kõlvatu konkurentsi vastu tõhusa kaitse tagamisel näeb kumbki lepinguosaline ette õiguslikud vahendid, sealhulgas haldus- või tsiviilkohtumenetlused,115 et isikutel oleks võimalik takistada ärisaladuste avaldamist teistele või selle omandamist või kasutamist teiste poolt ilma teabe üle seaduslikku kontrolli omava isiku nõusolekuta viisil, mis on vastuolus ausate kaubandustavadega116. Käesoleva alajao kohaldamisel hõlmab mõiste „ärisaladused“ TRIPS-lepingu artikli 39 lõikes 2 osutatud avalikustamata teavet. 115 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et lepinguosaline võib kooskõlas oma õigusega näha need õiguslikud vahendid ette kriminaalmenetluse kaudu. 116 Lepinguosaline ei pea neid menetlusi kohaldama, kui ausate äritavadega vastuolus olev tegevus toimub kooskõlas lepinguosalise õigusega, et paljastada õigusvastane käitumine, rikkumine või ebaseaduslik tegevus või eesmärgiga kaitsta tema õigusega tunnustatud õigustatud huvi. & /et 502 2. Käesoleva alajao kohaldamisel loeb lepinguosaline ausate äritavadega vastuolus olevaks vähemalt järgmist tegevust: a) ärisaladuse omandamine ärisaladuse omaja nõusolekuta, kui see toimub ärisaladuse omaja valduses olevatele dokumentidele, objektidele, materjalidele või elektroonilistele failidele, mis sisaldavad ärisaladust või millest saab tuletada ärisaladuse, loata juurdepääsu hankimise, nende omastamise või kopeerimise teel, või b) ärisaladuse kasutamine või avalikustamine ilma ärisaladuse omaja nõusolekuta, kui seda teeb isik, kes omandas ärisaladuse ebaseaduslikult või rikkudes konfidentsiaalsuslepingut või muud kohustust mitte avaldada ärisaladust või piirata selle kasutamist117,118. 117 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et kummagi lepinguosalise õigusnormides sätestatud kriteeriumid hõlmavad ärisaladuse kasutamise piiramise kohustuse rikkumist. 118 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et Euroopa Liit ei pea järgmisi olukordi lõike 2 kohaldamisalasse kuuluvaks: a) kui isik avastab või loob asjakohase teabe eraldiseisvalt; b) kui toote pöördprojekteerib isik, kelle valduses toode on õiguspäraselt ja kelle suhtes ei kehti õiguslik kohustus piirata asjakohase teabe omandamist; c) kui teabe omandamine, kasutamine või avalikustamine on nõutav või lubatud vastavalt lepinguosalise õigusele; d) kui töötajad kasutavad selliseid kogemusi ja oskusi, mille nad on omandanud ausal viisil oma tavapärast tööd tehes, või e) kui teave avalikustatakse sõna- ja teabevabaduse kasutamisel. & /et 503 ARTIKKEL 25.49 Ärisaladustega seotud haldus- või tsiviilkohtumenetlused 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et isikutel, kes osalevad artikli 25.48 lõikes 1 osutatud menetluses või kellel on juurdepääs sellise kohtumenetluse dokumentidele, on keelatud kasutada või avalikustada ärisaladust või väidetavat ärisaladust, mille pädevad asutused on huvitatud isiku nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud taotluse alusel tunnistanud konfidentsiaalseks ja mis on saanud neile teatavaks menetluses osalemise või dokumentidele juurdepääsu tulemusel. 2.

Lepinguosalised kinnitavad omale TRIPS-lepingu ja eelkõige selle III jao alusel võetud kohustusi. Kumbki lepinguosaline sätestab käesoleva jaoga ette nähtud täiendavad meetmed, menetlused ja õiguskaitsevahendid, mida on vaja intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamiseks. Kõnealused meetmed, menetlused ja õiguskaitsevahendid peavad olema õiglased ja erapooletud ning need ei tohi olla ülemäära keerukad või kulukad ega sisaldada sobimatuid tähtaegu või põhjendamatuid viivitusi. & /et 509 2. Lõikes 1 nimetatud meetmed, menetlused ja õiguskaitsevahendid peavad olema ka tõhusad, proportsionaalsed ja heidutavad ning neid tuleb rakendada viisil, mis võimaldab vältida tõkete loomist seaduslikule kaubandusele ja ette näha kaitsemeetmeid nende kuritarvitamise vastu. 3. Käesoleva jao alusel ei teki lepinguosalisele kohustust kehtestada intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamiseks kohtusüsteem, mis erineb üldisest õiguskaitse süsteemist, ning käesolev jagu ei mõjuta lepinguosalise suutlikkust tagada üldine õiguskord. Käesoleva alajaoga ei kehtestata ühtegi kohustust seoses lepinguosalise vahendite jaotamisega intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse ja üldise õiguskorra tagamise vahel. ARTIKKEL 25.53 Isikud, kellel on õigus nõuda meetmete, menetluste ja õiguskaitsevahendite rakendamist Kumbki lepinguosaline tunnistab isikutena, kellel on õigus nõuda käesolevas jaos ja TRIPS-lepingu III jaos sätestatud meetmete, menetluste ja õiguskaitsevahendite rakendamist, järgmisi isikuid: a) intellektuaalomandi õiguste omajad vastavalt tema õigusaktidele; b) tema õigusaktidega ette nähtud piirides ja nende alusel kõik teised kõnealuseid intellektuaalomandi õigusi teostama volitatud isikud, eelkõige litsentsisaajad; & /et 510 c) tema õigusaktidega ette nähtud piires ja nende alusel intellektuaalomandi õiguste kollektiivse esindamise organisatsioonid, kes on intellektuaalomandi õiguste omajate üldtunnustatud esindajad, ning d) tema õigusaktidega ette nähtud piires ja nende alusel kutselised intellektuaalomandi kaitse organisatsioonid, kes on intellektuaalomandi õiguste omajate üldtunnustatud esindajad. C.2 ALAJAGU Tsiviil- ja haldusõiguskaitse ARTIKKEL 25.54 Tõendid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et ka enne kohtuasja sisulise menetlemise alustamist on pädevatel õigusasutustel selle poole taotlusel, kes on esitanud piisavad tõendid, et tema intellektuaalomandi õigust on rikutud või rikutakse, õigus nõuda kiireid ja tõhusaid ajutisi meetmeid väidetava rikkumise olulise tõendusmaterjali säilitamiseks, tagades konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitse. & /et 511 2. Lõikes 1 nimetatud ajutised meetmed võivad hõlmata üksikasjalikku kirjeldust kas proovide võtmisega või ilma selleta või väidetava rikkumisega seotud kaupade füüsilist arestimist ning asjakohastel juhtudel nende kaupade tootmisel või turustamisel kasutatud materjalide ja seadmete ja nendega seotud dokumentide arestimist. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab vajalikud meetmed, et võimaldada oma pädevatel õigusasutustel juhul, kui intellektuaalomandiõigusi rikutakse kaubanduslikus mahus, vajaduse korral ja menetluse poole taotlusel nõuda vastaspoole käsutuses olevate panga-, finants- või äridokumentide esitamist, tagades konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitse131. 131 Mehhiko võib oma õiguse kohaselt kehtestada, et see võimalus on vaid kriminaalmenetlustes. & /et 512 ARTIKKEL 25.55 Õigus saada teavet 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumist käsitlevas menetluses ning vastuseks hageja õigustatud ja proportsionaalsele nõudele on pädevatel õigusasutustel õigus nõuda, et õiguste rikkuja või mõni muu isik, kes on menetluse pool, või menetluses osalev tunnistaja esitaks teavet intellektuaalomandi õigust rikkuvate kaupade või teenuste päritolu ja turustusvõrgu kohta132. 132 Euroopa Liit võib otsustada, et: a) „mõni muu isik“ tähendab isikut: i) kelle valdusest on leitud intellektuaalomandi õigusi rikkuvat kaupa kaubanduslikes kogustes; ii) kes on tabatud intellektuaalomandi õigusi rikkuvate teenuste kaubanduslikus ulatuses kasutamiselt; iii) kes on tabatud intellektuaalomandi õigusi rikkuvate teenuste kaubanduslikus ulatuses osutamiselt või iv) kes on punktides i–iii osutatud isiku kinnitusel osalenud rikkumisega seotud toodete tootmises, valmistamises või turustamises või rikkumisega seotud teenuste osutamises; b) „teave“ hõlmab vajaduse korral järgmist: i) kaupade või teenuste tootjate, valmistajate, turustajate, tarnijate ning teiste varasemate valdajate, samuti kavandatavate hulgimüüjate ja jaemüüjate nimed ja aadressid või ii) teave toodetud, valmistatud, tarnitud, saadud või tellitud mahtude kohta, samuti kõnealuste kaupade või teenuste eest saadud hinna kohta. & /et 513 2. Käesolev artikkel ei piira lepinguosalise muude selliste õigusnormide kohaldamist, millega: a) antakse õiguste omajale õigus saada täiendavat teavet; b) reguleeritakse teabe kasutamist tsiviil- või kriminaalmenetlustes vastavalt käesolevale artiklile; c) reguleeritakse vastutust teabeõiguse kuritarvitamise eest; d) antakse lõikes 1 osutatud isikule võimalus keelduda teabe esitamisest, kui kõnealuse teabe tõttu oleks see isik sunnitud tunnistama enda või oma lähisugulaste osalemist intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumises, või e) reguleeritakse konfidentsiaalsete teabeallikate kaitset ja isikuandmete töötlemist. & /et 514 ARTIKKEL 25.56 Ajutised meetmed ja ettevaatusabinõud 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema õigusasutused võivad hageja taotluse korral teha väidetavale õiguste rikkujale ajutise ettekirjutuse, mille eesmärk on tõkestada intellektuaalomandiõiguse eelseisvat rikkumist, või ajutiselt ja vajaduse korral korduva rahalise karistuse abil, kui see on ette nähtud tema õigusnormidega, keelata selle õiguse rikkumise jätkamine või nõuda jätkamise tingimusena tagatisi, mis rikkumise tuvastamise korral kindlustavad õiguste omajale hüvitise maksmise. Ajutise ettekirjutuse võib samadel tingimustel teha ka vahendajale, kelle teenuseid kolmas isik kasutab intellektuaalomandiõiguste rikkumiseks. Käesoleva artikli kohaldamisel hõlmab mõiste „vahendajad“ internetiteenuste osutajaid. 2. Ajutise ettekirjutusega võib anda ka korralduse intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumise kahtlusega kaupade arestimiseks või üleandmiseks, et takistada nende pääsemist turustuskanalitesse ja seal liikumist. & /et 515 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et väidetava rikkumise korral võivad tema õigusasutused anda korralduse arestida ennetavalt väidetava rikkuja vallas- ja kinnisvara, sealhulgas blokeerida tema pangakontod ja muud varad. Selleks võivad pädevad asutused nõuda panga-, finants- ja äridokumentide esitamist või asjakohast juurdepääsu olulisele teabele133. ARTIKKEL 25.57 Õiguskaitsevahendid 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et pädevad õigusasutused saavad hageja taotluse korral ja ilma et see piiraks õiguste rikkumisest õiguste omajale tuleneda võiva kahju hüvitamise nõuet, anda korralduse hävitada või vähemalt turustuskanalitest püsivalt kõrvaldada kaubad, mis on tunnistatud intellektuaalomandi õigusi rikkuvaks, ilma et selle eest makstaks hüvitist. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et pädevad õigusasutused võivad vajaduse korral nõuda ka selliste materjalide ja seadmete hävitamist, mida kasutatakse peamiselt nende kaupade loomiseks või valmistamiseks. 133 Mehhiko võib kooskõlas oma õigusega kehtestada, et panga-, finants- või äridokumentide esitamist nõutakse ainult kriminaalmenetlustes. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib kehtestada, et see õigus piirdub kaubanduslikus mahus toime pandud rikkumiste ja olukordadega, kus hageja tõendab kahju hüvitamist tõenäoliselt takistada võivate asjaolude olemasolu. & /et 516 2. Õiguskaitsevahendite kasutamise taotluse kaalumisel tuleb silmas pidada rikkumise raskuse ja määratud õiguskaitsevahendi proportsionaalsust ning kolmandate isikute huve. ARTIKKEL 25.58 Tõkendid Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et kui kohtuotsusega on tuvastatud intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumine, saab pädev õigusasutus kohaldada nii rikkuja kui ka vahendaja suhtes, kelle teenuseid kolmas isik intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumiseks kasutab, tõkendit rikkumise lõpetamiseks. & /et 517 ARTIKKEL 25.59 Kahjuhüvitis 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et tema õigusasutustel on õigus nõuda rikkujalt, kes teadis või pidi teadma, et ta paneb toime intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumise, õiguste omajale piisava kahjuhüvitise maksmist kahju eest, mida õiguste omajale tema intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumisega põhjustati134. 2. Lõike 1 kohase kahjuhüvitise summa kindlaksmääramisel võtavad kummagi lepinguosalise õigusasutused arvesse kõiki asjakohaseid aspekte ja neil on õigus arvestada kõiki õiguste omaja esitatud õiguspäraseid väärtusi, sealhulgas saamata jäänud kasum ja rikkumise objektiks olnud kaupade või teenuste väärtus mõõdetuna turuhinna või soovitusliku jaehinnaga. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et vähemalt autoriõiguse või sellega kaasnevate õiguste rikkumise ja kaubamärkide võltsimise korral võivad tema õigusasutused kohustada rikkujat vähemalt lõikes 1 nimetatud juhtudel maksma õiguste omajale kasumi, mille rikkuja rikkumisega teenis. Lepinguosaline võib käesoleva lõike järgimisel eeldada, et see kasum vastab lõikes 1 osutatud kahjuhüvitisele. 134 Lepinguosaline võib ette näha, et kahju hüvitamise menetluse algatamine ei olene intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumise lõplikust tuvastamisest. & /et 518 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib ette näha, et õigusasutused võivad nõuda kannatanule kas teenitud tulu või kahjuhüvitise maksmist, mille suurus võib olla eelnevalt kindlaks määratud, kui rikkuja ei olnud teadlik või põhjendatult ei saanud olla teadlik sellest, et ta tegeleb rikkumisega. ARTIKKEL 25.60 Kohtukulud Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et üldjuhul kannab kaotanud menetlusosaline võitnud menetlusosalise põhjendatud ja proportsionaalsed kohtukulud ning muud kulud, välja arvatud juhul, kui kulude õiglase jaotamise põhimõte seda ei luba. ARTIKKEL 25.61 Kohtuotsuste avaldamine Ilma et see piiraks teabeallikate konfidentsiaalsuse kaitset või isikuandmete kaitset käsitleva õiguse kohaldamist, tagab kumbki lepinguosaline, et intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumisega seotud kohtumenetluses võivad pädevad õigusasutused hageja taotlusel nõuda asjakohaseid meetmeid kohtulahendiga seotud teabe levitamiseks, sealhulgas kohtulahendi täielikuks või osaliseks avaldamiseks. & /et 519 ARTIKKEL 25.62 Autorsuse ja omandiõiguse presumptsioon 1. Kumbki lepinguosaline tunnistab, et käesolevas alajaos sätestatud meetmete, menetluste ja õiguskaitsevahendite kohaldamisel käsitatakse kirjandus- või kunstiteose autorina isikut, kelle puhul on vastupidiste tõendite puudumisel piisav, kui tema nimi esineb teosel tavapärasel viisil, ja sellest tulenevalt on tal õigus algatada rikkumismenetlus. 2. Lõiget 1 kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis autoriõigusega kaasnevate õiguste omajate suhtes nende kaitstava materjali puhul. ARTIKKEL 25.63 Haldusmenetlused Juhul kui asja sisulisel lahendamisel haldusmenetluse käigus võidakse määrata tsiviilõiguslik õiguskaitsevahend, peab see menetlus vastama põhimõtetele, mis on sisuliselt võrdväärsed käesolevas alajaos sätestatutega. & /et 520 ARTIKKEL 25.64 Sidusrühmade vabatahtlikud algatused Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab hõlbustada sidusrühmade vabatahtlikke algatusi, mille eesmärk on vähendada intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumisi, sealhulgas internetis ja muudes kauplemiskohtades, ning mis keskenduvad konkreetsetele probleemidele ja otsivad neile praktilisi lahendusi, mis on realistlikud, tasakaalustatud, proportsionaalsed ja kõigi asjaomaste sidusrühmade jaoks õiglased. D JAGU Intellektuaalomandi õiguste kaitse piiril ARTIKKEL 25.65 Kooskõla GATTi ja TRIPS-lepinguga Kui tolliasutused rakendavad piiril intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamise meetmeid, siis olenemata sellest, kas need on käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud või mitte, tagab kumbki lepinguosaline kooskõla oma kohustustega, mis tulenevad GATTist ja TRIPS-lepingust, eelkõige TRIPS-lepingu artiklist 41 ja III osa 4. jaost. & /et 521 ARTIKKEL 25.66 Piiril intellektuaalomandiõiguse kaitse tagamiseks võetavad meetmed 1.

Tollikontrolli all olevate kaupade puhul tagab kumbki lepinguosaline, et tema tolliasutused tegutsevad aktiivselt lepinguosalise õigusnormide kohaselt ning kooskõlastatult teiste asjaomaste asutustega, et kontrollida saadetisi, mis sisaldavad kaupa, mille puhul kahtlustatakse kaubamärgi, autoriõiguse või muude intellektuaalomandiõiguste rikkumist, ja neid tuvastada. Vähemalt importkaupade puhul peaks selline tegevus põhinema riskianalüüsil. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab kasutusele keskselt hallatava elektroonilise andmebaasi, mis on seotud vähemalt kaubamärkide ja tööstusdisainilahendustega ning mis on asjakohane vahend pädevate asutuste ja õiguste omajate vaheliseks tasuta koostööks ja riskianalüüsiks vajaliku teabe edastamiseks, ning hoiab seda töökorras. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab laiendada riskianalüüsi elektroonilist andmebaasi teistele intellektuaalomandi õigustele. & /et 522 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline tagab, et õiguste omaja esitatud teave lisatakse automaatselt elektroonilisse andmebaasi, kui see vastab tema õigusnormidega kooskõlas olevatele asjakohastele nõuetele. Õiguste omaja esitatud teave kinnitatakse automaatselt või kummagi lepinguosalise pädevate asutuste poolt mõistliku tähtaja jooksul. 5. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad elektroonilise andmebaasi omamise ja täiustamise kasulikkust, et aidata avastada intellektuaalomandi õiguste rikkumisi ja tagada vajalikud elemendid tollikontrolli all olevate kaupade peatamise või kinnipidamise menetluse algatamiseks. 6. Kumbki lepinguosaline näeb ette, et tema tolliasutused võivad tegutseda omal algatusel, et peatada intellektuaalomandi õiguse rikkumise kahtlusega kauba vabasse ringlusse laskmine või pidada selline kaup kinni või teavitada õiguse omajat või asjaomaseid asutusi, et võimaldada neil hinnata vajadust algatada menetlus, mis võib kaasa tuua nende kaupade peatamise või kinnipidamise. 7. Lepinguosalisel soovitatakse kehtestada menetlused, mis võimaldavad kiiresti hävitada posti- või kiirkullerisaadetistes olevad võltsitud kaubamärgiga kaubad ja piraatkaubad. 8. Lepinguosalise tolliasutused peavad korrapärast dialoogi ja edendavad koostööd asjaomaste sidusrühmade ja muude asutustega, mis on kaasatud käesolevas artiklis osutatud intellektuaalomandi õiguskaitse tagamisse. & /et 523 9.

Selleks määrab kumbki lepinguosaline kümne päeva jooksul pärast artikli 31.6 kohase kirjaliku taotluse saamist vahekohtu liikme, kes võib olla selle lepinguosalise kodanik, ja esitab teisele lepinguosalisele kuni kolm esimehe kandidaati. Lepinguosalised püüavad esimehe kandidaatide hulgast valida esimehe 15 päeva jooksul pärast artikli 31.6 kohase kirjaliku taotluse saamist. Lepinguosaline võib teise lepinguosalise määratud vahekohtu liikme suhtes esitada vastuväiteid, kui ta leiab, et asjaomane isik ei vasta artiklis 31.9 sätestatud nõuetele. 3. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua vahekohtu koosseisus lõikes 2 sätestatud tähtaja jooksul kokkuleppele, kohaldavad lepinguosalised vahekohtu moodustamiseks järgmistes lõigetes sätestatud korda. & /et 595 4. Kumbki lepinguosaline määrab seitsme päeva jooksul pärast lõikes 2 sätestatud tähtaja möödumist vahekohtu liikme oma artiklis 31.8 osutatud alamnimekirjast. 5. Kui kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline ei määra vahekohtu liiget lõikes 4 nimetatud ajavahemiku jooksul, lõpeb vaidluse lahendamise menetlus selle ajavahemiku lõpus. 6. Kui vastav lepinguosaline ei määra vahekohtu liiget lõikes 4 sätestatud ajavahemiku jooksul, võib kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline taotleda, et 31-A lisas esitatud töökorras loetletud ametisse nimetav asutus valib vahekohtu liikme loosi teel. Ametisse nimetav asutus valib vahekohtu liikme loosi teel artiklis 31.8 osutatud vastava lepinguosalise alamnimekirjast 15 päeva jooksul pärast kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise taotluse saamist. 7. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua lõikes 2 sätestatud tähtaja jooksul esimehe suhtes kokkuleppele, võib kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline või artikli 31.18 kohaste menetluste korral ükskõik kumb lepinguosaline taotleda, et 31-A lisas esitatud töökorras loetletud ametisse nimetav asutus valiks seitsme päeva jooksul pärast selle tähtaja möödumist vahekohtu esimehe loosi teel artiklis 31.8 osutatud esimehe kandidaatide alamnimekirjast. Ametisse nimetav asutus valib esimehe 15 päeva jooksul pärast selle lepinguosalise taotluse saamist. 8. Lõigete 6 ja 7 kohaldamisel valivad 31-A lisas esitatud töökorras loetletud ametisse nimetavad asutused vahekohtu liikmed vastavalt käesoleva peatüki sätetele ja 31-A lisas esitatud töökorrale. & /et 596 9.

Lõpparuandes käsitletakse kirjalikke taotlusi, mille lepinguosalised on vahearuande kohta esitanud, ning vastatakse selgelt nende kohta tehtud märkustele. Pärast lepinguosaliste poolt vahearuande kohta esitatud kirjalike taotluste ja märkuste arvessevõtmist võib vahekohus oma aruannet muuta ja vajaduse korral asjaolusid täiendavalt uurida. 3. Vahekohtu lõpparuandes esitatud otsus on lõplik ja lepinguosalistele siduv. & /et 602 ARTIKKEL 31.15 Täitmismeetmed 1. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et vaidluse tõhusaks lahendamiseks on tähtis viivitamatult täita vahekohtu lõpparuandes esitatud tulemusi ja järeldusi. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, võtab kõik vajalikud meetmed lõpparuandes esitatud tulemuste ja järelduste viivitamatuks täitmiseks, et viia end hõlmatud sätetega vastavusse. 2. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, teatab hiljemalt 30 päeva jooksul pärast lõpparuande saamist kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalisele meetmetest, mida ta on vastavuse tagamiseks võtnud või kavatseb võtta. 3. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua artikli 31.33 kohaselt mõlemat rahuldava lahenduseni, tuleb vaidluse lahendamiseks tühistada kõik käesoleva lepinguga vastuolus olevad meetmed. & /et 603 ARTIKKEL 31.16 Täitmise mõistlik tähtaeg 1. Kui viivitamatu vastavuse tagamine ei ole võimalik, edastab lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, hiljemalt 30 päeva jooksul pärast lõpparuande saamist kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalisele teate mõistliku tähtaja kohta, mida ta vastavuse tagamiseks vajab.

Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua kokkuleppele võetud meetmete olemasolus või nende meetmete kokkusobivuses hõlmatud sätetega, võib kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline kirjalikult taotleda, et selles küsimuses teeks otsuse algne vahekohus. Taotluses nimetatakse võimalikud vaidlusalused meetmed ja selgitatakse kaebuse õigusliku aluse selgeks esitamiseks piisaval viisil seda, kuidas need meetmed oleksid vastuolus hõlmatud sätetega. Vahekohus esitab oma otsuse lepinguosalistele 60 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse saamise kuupäeva. & /et 605 ARTIKKEL 31.18 Ajutised õiguskaitsevahendid 1. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, teeb kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise taotlusel ja pärast temaga konsulteerimist ajutise hüvitise pakkumise juhul, kui: a) lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, teatab kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalisele, et lõpparuannet ei ole võimalik järgida, või b) lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, ei edasta artiklis 31.15 osutatud tähtaja jooksul või mõistliku tähtaja möödumise kuupäeval teadet vastavuse tagamiseks võetud meetmete kohta või c) vahekohus leiab, et vastavuse tagamiseks ei ole meetmeid võetud või et vastavuse tagamiseks võetud meede ei ole hõlmatud sätetega kooskõlas. 2. Lõike 1 punktides a–c osutatud tingimustel võib kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline esitada lepinguosalisele, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, kirjaliku teate selle kohta, et ta kavatseb peatada hõlmatud sätetest tulenevate kohustuste täitmise, kui: a) kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline otsustab lõike 1 kohast taotlust mitte teha või & /et 606 b) lõike 1 kohase taotluse esitamisel ei lepi lepinguosalised ajutises hüvitises kokku 20 päeva jooksul pärast seda, kui: i) lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, teatab, et lõpparuannet ei ole võimalik järgida; ii) mõistlik tähtaeg möödub või iii) vahekohus teeb artikli 31.17 kohase otsuse. 3. Teates märgitakse, millises ulatuses kavatsetakse kohustuste täitmine peatada. Kui kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline kaalub, millised eelised peatada, peaks ta esmalt püüdma peatada eelised samas sektoris või sektorites, kui see või need, mida mõjutab meede, mida vahekohus peab käesoleva lepinguga vastuolus olevaks või kasu saamata jäämist või vähenemist põhjustavaks. Kontsessioonide või muude kohustuste peatamist võib kohaldada muude käesoleva peatükiga hõlmatud sektorite suhtes peale selle või nende, kus vahekohus on tuvastanud kasu saamata jäämise või vähenemise, eelkõige kui kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline on seisukohal, et selline peatamine teises sektoris on mõistlik või tõhus vastavuse tagamisel. Kontsessioonide või muude kohustuste täitmise peatamise ulatus ei tohi olla suurem rikkumise tõttu saamata jääva või väheneva kasu ulatusest. 4. Kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline võib kohustuste täitmise peatada 15 päeva pärast lõikes 2 osutatud teate esitamise kuupäeva, välja arvatud juhul, kui lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, on esitanud lõike 5 kohase taotluse. & /et 607 5. Kui lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, on arvamusel, et kontsessioonide või muude kohustuste täitmise peatamise teatatud ulatus on suurem kui rikkumise tulemusena saamata jäänud või vähenenud kasu ulatus, võib ta esitada enne lõikes 4 sätestatud 15 päevase tähtaja möödumist algsele vahekohtule kirjaliku taotluse selles küsimuses otsuse tegemiseks. Vahekohus määrab, milline eeliste ulatus on võrdväärne, ja esitab oma otsuse lepinguosalistele 30 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse kuupäeva. Kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline ei peata kohustuste täitmist enne, kui vahekohus on otsuse teinud. Kohustuste täitmise peatamine peab olema selle otsusega kooskõlas. 6. Käesoleva artikli kohane kohustuste peatamine või kompenseerimine on ajutine ja seda ei kohaldata pärast seda, kui: a) lepinguosalised on jõudnud kokkuleppele mõlemat poolt rahuldavas lahenduses vastavalt artiklile 31.33; b) lepinguosalised on kokku leppinud, et vastavuse tagamiseks võetud meede viib selle lepinguosalise, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, vastavusse käesoleva lepinguga hõlmatud sätetega, või c) vastavuse tagamiseks võetud meede, mis vahekohtu arvates on hõlmatud sätetega vastuolus, on kehtetuks tunnistatud või seda on muudetud selliselt, et viia lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, nende sätetega vastavusse. & /et 608 ARTIKKEL 31.19 Ajutiste õiguskaitsevahendite kasutamise järel võetud täitmismeetmete kontroll 1.

Kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline lõpetab kohustuste täitmise peatamise 30 päeva jooksul pärast teate saamist, välja arvatud lõikes 2 osutatud juhtudel. Kui on kohaldatud kompenseerimist, võib lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, lõpetada kompenseerimise kohaldamise 30 päeva jooksul pärast vastavuse tagamisest teatamist, välja arvatud lõikes 2 osutatud juhtudel. 2. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua 30 päeva jooksul pärast teate saamise kuupäeva kokkuleppele, kas teatatud meede viib lepinguosalise, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, hõlmatud sätetega vastavusse, esitab kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline algsele vahekohtule kirjaliku taotluse selles küsimuses otsuse tegemiseks. Vahekohus esitab oma otsuse lepinguosalistele 60 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse saamise kuupäeva. Kui vahekohus leiab, et vastavuse tagamiseks võetud meede on hõlmatud sätetega kooskõlas, lõpetatakse olenevalt olukorrast kohustuste täitmise peatamine või kompenseerimine. Vajaduse korral tuleb kohustuste täitmise peatamise või kompenseerimise ulatust kohandada vastavalt vahekohtu otsusele. & /et 609 ARTIKKEL 31.20 Vahekohtu liikmete asendamine Kui vahekohtu liige ei saa vaidluste lahendamise menetluse ajal vahekohtu töös osaleda või taandab end või tuleb asendada, sest ta ei vasta 31-B lisas esitatud vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhendi nõuetele, nimetatakse uus vahekohtu liige kooskõlas artikliga 31.7 ja 31-A lisas esitatud töökorraga. Aruande või otsuse esitamise tähtaega pikendatakse uue vahekohtu liikme nimetamiseks vajaliku aja võrra. ARTIKKEL 31.21 Töökord 1. Käesoleva jao alla kuuluvaid vahekohtumenetlusi reguleeritakse käesoleva peatüki ja 31- A lisas esitatud töökorraga. 2.

Vahekohtu istungid on avalikud, kui lepinguosalised ei ole teisiti kokku leppinud. ARTIKKEL 31.22 Vahekohtu töö peatamine ja lõpetamine 1. Kui vahekohus saab mõlemalt lepinguosaliselt taotluse, peatab ta oma töö lepinguosaliste vahel kokku lepitud tähtajaks, kuid mitte kauemaks kui 12 järjestikuseks kuuks. Vahekohus jätkab oma tööd mõlema lepinguosalise kirjalikul taotlusel enne peatamisperioodi lõppu või ühe lepinguosalise kirjalikul taotlusel peatamisperioodi viimasel päeval. Taotluse esitanud lepinguosaline teavitab oma taotlusest teist lepinguosalist. & /et 611 2. Kui kumbki lepinguosaline ei taotle enne peatamisperioodi lõppu vahekohtu töö jätkamist, siis vahekohtu pädevus aegub ja vaidluste lahendamise menetlused lõpetatakse. See ei piira lepinguosalise õigust algatada samas küsimuses uus menetlus. 3. Vahekohtu töö peatamise korral pikendatakse käesolevas jaos sätestatud tähtaegu sama aja võrra, mille jooksul vahekohtu töö oli peatatud. ARTIKKEL 31.23 Teabe saamine 1. Vahekohus võib lepinguosalise taotluse korral või omal algatusel nõuda lepinguosalistelt teavet, mida ta peab vajalikuks ja asjakohaseks. Lepinguosalised vastavad vahekohtu teabenõudele kiiresti ja ammendavalt. 2. Vahekohus võib lepinguosalise taotluse korral või omal algatusel hankida mis tahes allikast teavet, mida ta peab asjakohaseks. Lisaks on vahekohtul õigus küsida vastavalt lepinguosaliste vahel kokkulepitud tingimustele ka ekspertide arvamust või tehnilist nõu, kui ta peab seda asjakohaseks. & /et 612 3.

Teave, mille vahekohus on saanud käesoleva artikli kohaselt, tehakse lepinguosalistele kättesaadavaks ja lepinguosalised võivad esitada selle teabe kohta märkusi. ARTIKKEL 31.24 Tõlgendamisreeglid 1. Vahekohus tõlgendab hõlmatud sätteid kooskõlas rahvusvahelise avaliku õiguse tõlgendamise tavaeeskirjadega, mis on sätestatud muu hulgas Viini lepinguõiguse konventsioonis. Vahekohus võtab arvesse ka asjakohaseid tõlgendusi, mis on esitatud WTO vaekogude ja apellatsioonikogu aruannetes, mille WTO vaidluste lahendamise organ on vastu võtnud. 2. Vahekohtu aruanded ja otsused ei suurenda ega vähenda lepinguosaliste käesolevast lepingust tulenevaid õigusi ja kohustusi. & /et 613 ARTIKKEL 31.25 Vahekohtu aruanded ja otsused 1. Vahekohtu arutelud on konfidentsiaalsed. Vahekohus teeb kõik endast oleneva, et koostada aruandeid ja teha otsuseid konsensuse alusel. Kui see ei ole võimalik, otsustab vahekohus küsimuse häälteenamusega. Individuaalsete vahekohtunike arvamusi ei avalikustata ühelgi juhul. 2. Lepinguosalised aktsepteerivad vahekohtu otsuseid ja aruandeid tingimusteta. Vahekohtu aruannete ja otsustega ei looda füüsilistele ja juriidilistele isikutele õigusi ega kohustusi. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline teeb vahekohtu aruanded ja otsused üldsusele kättesaadavaks võimalikult kiiresti pärast nende lepinguosalistele edastamise kuupäeva, rakendades konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitset. & /et 614 D JAGU Vahendusmehhanism ARTIKKEL 31.26 Eesmärk Vahendusmehhanismi eesmärk on aidata leida põhjaliku ja kiire menetluse teel ning vahendaja abiga mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldav lahendus.

Kümne päeva jooksul pärast vahendaja nimetamist, edastab vahendusmenetluse algatanud lepinguosaline vahendajale ja teisele lepinguosalisele üksikasjaliku kirjaliku kirjelduse oma mureküsimustest, eelkõige seoses kõnealuse meetme toimimisega ja selle võimaliku kahjuliku mõjuga lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele või investeeringute tegemisele. Teine lepinguosaline võib esitada selle kirjelduse kohta kirjalikke märkusi 20 päeva jooksul pärast kirjelduse saamist. 2. Vahendaja aitab lepinguosalistel meetmes ja selle võimalikus kahjulikus mõjus lepinguosalistevahelisele kaubandusele ja investeeringute tegemisele läbipaistval viisil selgust saada. Eelkõige võib vahendaja korraldada lepinguosalistevahelisi kohtumisi, pidada lepinguosalistega ühiselt või eraldi nõu, kasutada asjaomaste ekspertide või sidusrühmade abi või nõu ning pakkuda lepinguosalistele igasugust täiendavat tuge, mida nad soovivad. Enne asjaomase ala ekspertide ja sidusrühmade abi ja nõu kasutamist konsulteerib vahendaja lepinguosalistega. 3. Vahendaja võib anda nõu ja pakkuda lepinguosalistele kaalumiseks välja lahenduse. Lepinguosalised võivad selle heaks kiita, tagasi lükata või leppida kokku teistsuguses lahenduses. Vahendaja ei anna nõu ega esita märkusi selle kohta, kas vaidlusalune meede on käesoleva lepinguga kooskõlas. & /et 618 4. Vahendusmenetlus viiakse läbi selle lepinguosalise territooriumil, kellele vahendusmenetluse algatamise taotlus esitati, või vastastikusel kokkuleppel mis tahes muus asukohas või muude sidevahendite abil. 5. Lepinguosalised püüavad jõuda mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldava lahenduseni 60 päeva jooksul pärast vahendaja nimetamist. Sellise lahenduse leidmisel võivad lepinguosalised kaaluda vajalike sisemenetluste lõpuleviimist. Lõpliku kokkuleppe saavutamiseni võivad lepinguosalised kaaluda võimalikke ajutisi lahendusi, eelkõige kui meede on seotud kergesti riknevate kaupadega. 6. Kummagi lepinguosalise taotlusel edastab vahendaja lepinguosalistele faktiaruande projekti, milles on esitatud: a) kõnealuse meetme lühikokkuvõte; b) järgitud menetlused ning c) mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldav lahendus, milles on kokkuleppele jõutud, sealhulgas võimalikud ajutised lahendused. 7. Vahendaja annab lepinguosalistele faktiaruande projekti kohta märkuste esitamiseks 15 päeva. Pärast lepinguosaliste märkuste kaalumist esitab vahendaja 15 päeva jooksul lepinguosalistele lõpliku faktiaruande. Faktiaruandes ei tõlgendata käesolevat lepingut. & /et 619 8. Menetlus lõpetatakse: a) lepinguosaliste vahel ühiselt kokkulepitud lahenduse vastuvõtmisega selle vastuvõtmise kuupäeval; b) lepinguosaliste vastastikusel kokkuleppel menetluse ükskõik millises etapis selle kokkuleppe sõlmimise kuupäeval; c) vahendaja poolt pärast lepinguosalistega nõu pidamist tehtud kirjaliku avaldusega selle kohta, et vahendustegevuse jätkamine oleks kasutu, nimetatud avalduse esitamise kuupäeval, või d) lepinguosalise poolt pärast mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldavate lahenduste otsimist vahendusmenetluses ning pärast vahendaja nõuannete ja väljapakutud lahenduste kaalumist tehtud kirjaliku avaldusega selle avalduse esitamise kuupäeval. ARTIKKEL 31.30 Konfidentsiaalsus 1. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, on kõik vahendusmenetluse etapid, sealhulgas kõik nõuanded või väljapakutud lahendused, konfidentsiaalsed. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib aga avalikustada asjaolu, et vahendusmenetlus toimub. & /et 620 2.

Üldsusele kättesaadavaks tehtud versioon ei tohi sisaldada teavet, mille lepinguosaline on tunnistanud konfidentsiaalseks. ARTIKKEL 31.31 Seos vaidluste lahendamise menetlustega 1. Vahendusmenetlus ei piira lepinguosaliste õigusi ja kohustusi, mis tulenevad B ja C jaost või mis tahes muu lepingu kohasest vaidluste lahendamise menetlusest. Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et vahendusmenetluse võib algatada või seda jätkata vahekohtu menetluste ajal. 2. Lepinguosaline ei võta muudes käesoleva lepingu või mis tahes muu lepingu kohastes vaidluste lahendamise menetlustes aluseks ega kasuta tõenditena, samuti ei võta vahekohus arvesse: a) teise lepinguosalise poolt vahendusmenetluse käigus võetud seisukohti ega artikli 31.29 lõike 2 alusel kogutud teavet; b) asjaolu, et teine lepinguosaline on väljendanud valmisolekut olla nõus vahendamisel käsitletud meetme suhtes leitud lahendusega, või c) vahendaja antud nõu ega tema tehtud ettepanekuid. & /et 621 3. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, ei tegutse vahendaja vahekohtu liikmena vaidluste lahendamise menetlustes, mis põhinevad käesoleval lepingul või mis tahes muul lepingul, milles käsitletakse sama küsimust kui see, mida ta lahendas vahendajana. E JAGU Ühissätted ARTIKKEL 31.32 Teabenõue 1. Enne konsulteerimis- või vahendustaotluse esitamist vastavalt artiklile 31.5 või 31.27 võib lepinguosaline nõuda teavet meetme kohta, mis kahjustab lepinguosalistevahelist kaubandust või investeeringute tegemist. Lepinguosaline, kellele selline nõue esitatakse, edastab 20 päeva jooksul pärast nõude saamist kirjaliku vastuse, mis sisaldab tema märkusi nõutud teabe kohta. 2. Tavaliselt nõuab lepinguosaline lõike 1 kohaselt teavet enne konsultatsioonide taotlemist või vahendusmenetluse või muude käesoleva lepingu kohaste koostöö- või konsultatsioonimenetluste algatamist. & /et 622 ARTIKKEL 31.33 Mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldav lahendus 1. Lepinguosalised võivad igal ajal kokku leppida mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldavas lahenduses kõigi artikliga 31.2 hõlmatud vaidluste puhul. 2.

Pärast sellise teate saamist vahekohtu- või vahendusmenetlus lõpetatakse. 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline võtab vajalikud meetmed, et rakendada mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldavat lahendust kokkulepitud aja jooksul. 4. Lahendust rakendav lepinguosaline teatab hiljemalt kokkulepitud ajavahemiku lõppkuupäeval teisele lepinguosalisele kirjalikult kõikidest meetmetest, mis ta on võtnud mõlemat lepinguosalist rahuldava lahenduse rakendamiseks. & /et 623 ARTIKKEL 31.34 Tähtajad 1. Kõik käesolevas peatükis sätestatud tähtaegu arvestatakse kalendripäevades alates viidatava toimingu tegemisele järgnevast päevast. 2.

SPECIFIC RULES OF ORIGIN SECTION A INTRODUCTORY NOTES Note 1 General Principles 1.1 This Section sets out the rules for the application of the conditions in Sections B and C of this Annex as provided for in subparagraph 1(c) of Article 3.2 (General Requirements). 1.2 For the purposes of this Annex, the requirements for a product to be considered as originating in accordance with subparagraph 1(c) of Article 3.2 (General Requirements) are a change in tariff classification, a production process, a maximum value or weight of non-originating materials or any other requirement specified in this Annex. 1.3 Reference to weight in a product specific rule of origin means the net weight, which is the weight of a material or a product not including the weight of packaging. & /en 1 Note 2 Structure of the List of Product Specific Rules of Origin 2.1 Notes on sections, chapters, headings or subheadings, if applicable, shall be read in conjunction with the product specific rules of origin for the relevant section, chapter, heading or subheading. 2.2 Each product specific rule of origin set out in the second column of the list of Section B applies to the corresponding product indicated in the first column of that list. 2.3 If a product is subject to alternative product specific rules of origin, the product shall be considered as originating in a Party if it satisfies one of the alternatives. 2.4 If a product is subject to a product specific rule of origin that includes multiple requirements, the product shall be considered as originating in a Party only if it satisfies all of the requirements. 2.5 If a product specific rule of origin specifically excludes certain materials of the Harmonized System, it requires that the excluded materials be originating in a Party. Example: When the rule of origin for heading 3505 requires "CTH except from heading 1108" then, materials classified under heading 1108 (starches, inulin) must be originating. & /en 2 Note 3 Application of the Product Specific Rules of Origin 3.1 Paragraph 2 of Article 3.2 (General Requirements), concerning products having acquired originating status which are used in the production of other products, applies whether or not this status has been acquired inside the same factory in a Party where these products are used. 3.2 If a product specific rule of origin provides that a specified non-originating material shall not be used or that the value or weight of a specified non-originating material shall not exceed a specific threshold, these conditions do not apply to non-originating materials classified elsewhere in the Harmonized System. Example: When the rule for Chapter 19 requires that "that the total weight of non-originating materials of headings 1006, 1101, 1102 or 1104 to 1108 used does not exceed 20 % by weight of the final product", the use of non-originating cereals of Chapter 10, other than rice of heading 1006, is not limited. 3.3 If a product-specific rule of origin provides that a product shall be produced from a particular material, this does not prevent the use of other materials which are unable to satisfy that rule because of their inherent nature. & /en 3 Note 4 Definitions 4.1 For the purposes of this Annex: (a) "CC" means production from non-originating materials of any chapter, except that of the product, or a change to the chapter, heading or subheading from any other chapter so that all non-originating materials used in the production of the product must undergo a change in tariff classification at the two-digit level of the Harmonized System (a change in chapter); (b) "CTH" means production from non-originating materials of any heading, except that of the product, or a change to the chapter, heading or subheading from any other heading so that all non-originating materials used in the production of the product undergo a change in tariff classification at the four-digit level of the Harmonized System (a change in heading); (c) "CTSH" means production from non-originating materials of any subheading, except that of the product, or a change to the chapter, heading or subheading from any other subheading so that all non-originating materials used in the production of the product undergo a change in tariff classification at the six-digit level of the Harmonized System (a change in subheading); (d) "customs value" means the value of a good determined in accordance with the Customs Valuation Agreement; & /en 4 (e) "EXW" or "ex-works price" means the price paid for the product ex-works to the manufacturer in a Party where the last working or processing was carried out and shall, in all cases, include the value of all the materials used and all other costs related to its production, minus any internal taxes returned or repaid when the product obtained is exported, even if the price is not known, is uncertain, or does not reflect all costs related to the production of the product; if the last working or processing has been subcontracted to a manufacturer in a Party the term manufacturer may refer to the enterprise that has made use of the subcontractor; (f) "MaxNOM" means the maximum value of non-originating materials expressed as a percentage and shall be calculated according to the following formula: VNM MaxNOM(%) = × 100 EXW (g) "NOM" means production from non-originating materials of any heading; and (h) "VNM" means the value of non-originating materials used in the manufacture of the product which is its customs value at the time of importation including freight, insurance if appropriate, packing and all the other costs incurred in transporting the materials to the importation port in the Party where the producer of the good is located, or if the value is not known and cannot be ascertained, the first ascertainable price paid for the non-originating materials in the European Union or in Mexico. & /en 5 Note 5 Fibres, Printing, Basic Textile Materials and Tolerances 5.1 The term "natural fibres" is used in this Annex to refer to fibres other than artificial or synthetic fibres and is limited to the stages before spinning takes place, including waste, and, unless otherwise specified, includes fibres that have been carded, combed or otherwise processed, but not spun. 5.2 Natural fibres include horsehair of heading 0511, silk of headings 5002 and 5003 as well as wool fibres, 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 of product specific rules of origin to describe the materials not classified in Chapters 50 to 63, 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 of product specific rules of origin to refer to synthetic or artificial filament tow, staple fibres or waste, of headings 5501 to 5507. 5.5 The term "printing" means a technique by which an objectively assessed function, such as colour, design or technical performance, is applied to a textile substrate with a permanent character, using screen, roller, digital or transfer techniques. & /en 6 5.6 The term "printing (as standalone operation)" means printing combined with at least two preparatory or finishing operations (such as scouring, bleaching, mercerising, heat setting, raising, calendaring, shrink resistance processing, permanent finishing, decatising, impregnating, mending and burling shearing, singeing, process of air-tumbler, process of stenter, milling, steam and shrinking, and wet decatising), provided that the value of all the non-originating materials used does not exceed 50 % of the ex-works price of the good. 5.7 If for a given product in the list of product specific rules of origin a reference is made to Note 5, the conditions set out in in the second column of that list shall not apply to non-originating basic textile materials used in the production of this product, which, taken together, do not exceed 8 % of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. Note 5.9 or 5.10 may also apply. 5.8 The tolerance provided for in Note 5.7 may only apply to mixed products which have been made from two or more of the following basic textile materials: (a) silk; (b) wool; (c) coarse animal hair; (d) fine animal hair; & /en 7 (e) horsehair; (f) cotton; (g) paper-making materials and paper; (h) flax; (i) true hemp; (j) jute and other textile bast fibres; (k) sisal and other textile fibres of the genus Agave; (l) coconut, abaca, ramie and other vegetable textile fibres; (m) synthetic man-made filaments; (n) artificial man-made filaments; (o) current conducting filaments; (p) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polypropylene; & /en 8 (q) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyester; (r) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyamide; (s) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyacrylonitrile; (t) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyimide; (u) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polytetrafluoroethylene; (v) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyphenylene sulphide; (w) synthetic man-made staple fibres of polyvinyl chloride; (x) other synthetic man-made staple fibres; (y) artificial man-made staple fibres of viscose; (z) other artificial man-made staple fibres; (aa) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped; & /en 9 (ab) yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyester whether or not gimped; (ac) products classified under heading 5605 (metallised yarn) incorporating 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 five millimetres, sandwiched by means of a transparent or coloured adhesive between two layers of plastic film; and (ad) other products classified under heading 5605. 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 that do not satisfy the rule of origin (which requires manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) may be used up to a weight of 8 % of the yarn. Example: A woollen fabric of heading 5112 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 rule of origin (which requires manufacture from chemical materials or textile pulp) or woollen yarn that does not satisfy the rule of origin (which require manufacture from natural fibres, not carded or combed or otherwise prepared for spinning) or a combination of both may be used provided their total weight does not exceed 8 % of the weight of the fabric. & /en 10 Example: Tufted textile fabric of heading 5802 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 being 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. 5.9 If for a given product a reference is made to Note 5, the conditions set out in the second column of the list in Section B shall not apply to yarn made of polyurethane segmented with flexible segments of polyether whether or not gimped if the non-originating yarn does not exceed 8 % of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. 5.10 If for a given product a reference is made to Note 5, the conditions set out in the second column of the list in Section B shall not apply to the 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 five millimetres, sandwiched by means of an adhesive between two layers of plastic film when the non-originating strip does not exceed 30 % of the total weight of all the basic textile materials used. & /en 11 Note 6 Other Tolerances Applicable to Certain Textile Materials 6.1 If reference to Note 6 is made in the list of product specific rules of origin in Section B, textile materials may be used, with the exception of linings and interlinings, which do not satisfy the requirements set out in the second column for the made-up textile product, provided that those materials are classified under a heading other than that of the product and that their value does not exceed 8 % of the ex-works price of the product. 6.2 Without prejudice to Note 6.3, materials which are not classified under Chapters 50 to 63 may be used freely in the production 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 in Chapters 50 to 63. For the same reason, it does not prevent the use of slide-fasteners even though slide-fasteners normally contain textiles. 6.3 If a percentage rule applies, the value of materials which are not classified under Chapters 50 to 63 shall be taken into account when calculating the value of the incorporated non-originating materials. & /en 12 Note 7 Agricultural Goods 7.1 Agricultural goods classified under Section II of the Harmonized System and heading 2401, which are grown or harvested in the territory of a Party, shall be treated as originating in the territory of a Party, even if grown from seeds, bulbs, rootstock, cuttings, slips, grafts, shoots, buds, or other live parts of plants imported from a third-country. Note 8 Definition of Processes 8.1 "Chemical reaction" means a process, including a biochemical process, which results in a molecule with a new structure by breaking intramolecular bonds and by forming new intramolecular bonds, or by altering the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule. For the purposes of this definition, the following are not considered chemical reactions: (a) the dissolution in water or other solvents; (b) the elimination of solvents including solvent water; or (c) the addition or elimination of water of crystallisation. & /en 13 8.2 "Mixing and blending" means the deliberate and proportionally controlled mixing or blending, including dispersing, of materials, other than the addition of diluents, to conform to predetermined specifications which results in the production of a good having physical or chemical characteristics that are relevant for the purposes or uses of the good and are different from the input materials. 8.3 "Purification" means a process which results in the elimination of at least 80 % of the content of existing impurities, or the reduction or elimination of impurities resulting in a good suitable for one or more of the following applications: (a) pharmaceutical, medical, cosmetic, veterinary or food grade substances; (b) chemical products and reagents for analytical, diagnostic or laboratory uses; (c) elements and components for use in micro-electronics; (d) specialised optical uses; (e) biotechnical use, for example, in cell culturing, in genetic technology or as a catalyst; (f) carriers used in a separation process; or (g) nuclear grade uses. & /en 14 8.4. "Change in particle size" means the deliberate and controlled modification in particle size of a product, other than by merely crushing or pressing, resulting in a good with a defined particle size, defined particle size distribution or defined surface area, which is relevant for the purposes of the resulting product and with physical or chemical characteristics different from those of the materials used. 8.5. "Production of standard materials" (including standard solutions) means a production of a preparation suitable for analytical, calibrating or referencing uses with precise degrees of purity or proportions certified by the manufacturer. 8.6. "Isomer separation" means the isolation or separation of isomers from a mixture of isomers. 8.7. "Biotechnological processes" means: (a) biological or biotechnological culturing (including cell culture), hybridisation or genetic modification of: (i) micro-organisms, such as bacteria and viruses (including phages); or (ii) human, animal or plant cells; and (b) production, isolation or purification of cellular or intercellular structures (such as isolated genes, gene fragments and plasmids), or fermentation. & /en 15 SECTION B LIST OF PRODUCT SPECIFIC RULES OF ORIGIN Harmonized System Product Specific Rule of Origin Classification (2012) SECTION I LIVE ANIMALS; ANIMAL PRODUCTS Chapter 1 Live animals 0101 – 0106 All animals of Chapter 1 are wholly obtained.

The purpose of the MRA should be clearly stated. & /en 2 Scope of the MRA 4. The MRA should clearly set out: (a) the scope of the MRA, in terms of the specific professional titles and activities which it covers; (b) who is entitled to use the professional titles concerned; (c) whether the recognition mechanism is based on formal qualifications, a licence obtained in the jurisdiction of origin, or on some other requirement; and (d) whether the MRA allows permanent or temporary access to the profession concerned. Mutual Recognition Provisions 5. The MRA should clearly specify the conditions to be met for the recognition of qualifications in each jurisdiction and the level of equivalence agreed. 6.

If applicable, the MRA should also set out the means by which, and the conditions under which, a licence is obtained following the determination of eligibility and what a licence entails, for example, a licence and its contents, membership of a professional body or use of professional or academic titles. Any licensing requirements other than qualifications should be explained, including requirements relating to: (a) having an office address, maintaining an establishment or being a resident; (b) language skills; (c) proof of good character; (d) professional indemnity insurance; (e) compliance with host jurisdiction's requirements for use of trade or firm names; and (f) compliance with host jurisdiction ethics, for example, independence and good conduct. & /en 6 11.

SECTION C Four-Step Process for the Recognition of Qualifications 14. The following four-step process should be considered to simplify and facilitate the recognition of the qualifications. Step One: Verification of Equivalency 15. The negotiating entities should verify the overall equivalence of the scope of practice or qualifications of the regulated profession in their respective jurisdictions. 16. The examination of qualifications should include the collection of all relevant information pertaining to the scope of practice rights related to a legal competency to practice or to the qualifications required for a specific regulated profession in the respective jurisdictions. & /en 8 17. The negotiating entities should: (a) identify activities or groups of activities covered by the scope of practice rights of the regulated profession; and (b) identify the qualifications required in each jurisdiction, which may include the following elements: (i) the minimum level of education required, for example, entry requirements, length of study and subjects studied; (ii) the minimum level of experience required, for example, location, length and conditions of practical training or supervised professional practice prior to licensing, or the framework of ethical and disciplinary standards; (iii) examinations passed, especially examinations of professional competency; (iv) the extent to which qualifications from one jurisdiction are recognised in the other jurisdiction; and & /en 9 (v) the qualifications which the relevant authorities in each jurisdiction are prepared to recognise, for instance, by listing particular diplomas or certificates issued, or by reference to particular minimum requirements to be certified by the relevant authorities of the jurisdiction of origin, including whether the possession of a certain level of qualification would allow recognition for some activities of the scope of practice but not others such as level and length of education, major educational focuses and overall subjects and areas. 18. There is an overall equivalence between the scope of practice rights or the qualifications of the regulated profession if there are no substantial differences in this regard between jurisdictions. Step Two: Evaluation of Substantial Differences 19. Substantial differences in the scope of qualifications required to practice a regulated profession exist, in cases of: (a) important differences in the essential knowledge; or (b) significant differences in the duration or content of the training between the jurisdictions. 20. Substantial differences in the scope of practice exist if: (a) one or more professional activities do not form part of the corresponding profession in the jurisdiction of origin; & /en 10 (b) those activities are subject to specific training in the host jurisdiction; and (c) the training for those activities in the host jurisdiction covers substantially different matters from those covered by the applicant's qualification. Step Three: Equivalence Measures 21. If the negotiating entities determine that substantial differences exist in the scope of practice rights or of qualifications between the jurisdictions, they may determine equivalence measures to reduce those differences. 22. Equivalence measures may take the form of, among other things, an adaptation period or, if required, an aptitude test. 23. Equivalence measures should be proportionate to the substantial differences which they seek to address. The negotiating entities should also evaluate any practical professional experience obtained in the jurisdiction of origin to see whether this experience is sufficient to remedy, in whole or in part, the substantial differences in the scope of practice rights or qualifications between the jurisdictions, prior to determining a equivalence measure. & /en 11 Step Four: Identification of the Conditions for Recognition 24. Once the assessment of the overall equivalency of the scope of practice rights or qualifications of the regulated profession is completed, the negotiating entities should specify in the MRA: (a) the legal competency required to practice the regulated profession; (b) the qualifications for the regulated profession; (c) whether equivalence measures are necessary; (d) the extent to which professional experience may compensate for substantial differences; and (e) a description of any equivalence measures, including the use of any adaptation period or aptitude test. ________________ & /en 12 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 3.9.2025 COM(2025) 811 final ANNEX 2 – PART 2/2 ANNEX to the Proposal for a Council Decision on the signing, on behalf of the European Union, of the Interim Agreement on Trade between the European Union and the United Mexican States EN EN ANNEX 18-A CROSS-BORDER TRADE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTION A COMMITMENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION 1.

The eligible costs shall provide reasonable flexibility for a successful bidder to source the contract value on competitive terms from Mexican suppliers, including with respect to price and quality. PEMEX and CFE shall not split contracts with the purpose of restricting the choice of eligible costs of the bidder. & /en 119 13. The procuring entities shall clearly and objectively indicate the existence of local content requirements and attached conditions in both the tender notices and the contract. 14. Ten years after entry into force of this Agreement, Mexico shall submit a report regarding the application of this paragraph to the Sub-Committee on Public Procurement established by subparagraph 1(j) of Article 33.4.1 (Sub-Committees and Other Bodies). 15.

Lõigetes 4–8 sätestatud menetlust kohaldatakse juhul, kui lepinguosaline on objektiivse ja kontrollitava teabe, sealhulgas päritolu või abitaotluste kontrollimise ja vajaduse korral kontrollkäikude tulemuste põhjal tuvastanud: a) et 2. peatüki „Kaubavahetus“ alusel võimaldatud tariifse sooduskohtlemisega seotud tollialaste õigusaktide rikkumisi on toime pandud korduvalt või b) et tollialaseid õigusakte rikkuvate toimingute puhul keeldub teine lepinguosaline korduvalt lõikes 1 osutatud kohustuste täitmisest või jätab need muul viisil täitmata. & /et 1 4. Lepinguosaline, kes on teinud lõikes 3 osutatud järelduse, tõstatab küsimuse tolli, kaubanduse lihtsustamise ja päritolureeglite allkomitees, et jõuda mõlemale lepinguosalisele vastuvõetava lahenduseni. 5. Kui lepinguosalised ei suuda kolme kuu jooksul pärast küsimuse tõstatamist vastavalt lõikele 4 leida rahuldavat lahendust, võib otsuse teinud lepinguosaline teavitada kaubanduskomiteed ja alustada kogu asjakohase teabe põhjal konsultatsioone, et jõuda mõlemale lepinguosalisele vastuvõetava lahenduseni. 6. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua vastuvõetava lahenduseni kolme kuu jooksul pärast lõikes 5 osutatud teavitamist, võib kaubanduskomitee võtta vastu otsuse ajutiselt tühistada asjaomaste kaupade tariifne sooduskohtlemine. 7. Kui kaubanduskomitee otsus ajutiselt tühistada asjaomaste kaupade tariifne sooduskohtlemine on lõikes 1 osutatud tollialaseid õigusakte rikkuvate toimingute ärahoidmiseks tõhus, tühistab otsuse teinud lepinguosaline meetmed, mis ta oli võtnud oma tollialaste õigusaktide järgimise tagamiseks. & /et 2 8. Ajutist tühistamist kohaldatakse aja jooksul, mis on vajalik tollialaseid õigusakte rikkuvate toimingute vastu võitlemiseks, ja igal juhul mitte kauem kui kuus kuud. Kui esialgse peatamise põhjustanud tingimused püsivad ka pärast kuuekuulise tähtaja möödumist, võib kaubanduskomitee otsustada tühistamist pikendada. Ajutine peatamine lõpetatakse hiljemalt kahe aasta möödumisel esialgsest peatamisest, välja arvatud juhul, kui kaubanduskomitee otsustab, et esialgse peatamise põhjustanud tingimused püsivad. 9. Kumbki lepinguosaline avaldab kaubanduskomitee otsuse käesoleva lisa kohase ajutise tühistamise kohta ning kõik muud teated kauplejatele kooskõlas oma sisemenetlustega. ________________ & /et 3 2-E LISA VEINITOOTEID JA KANGEID ALKOHOOLSEID JOOKE KÄSITLEVAD ASJAKOHASED MEETMED A OSA MEHHIKO VEINIVALMISTUSTAVAD JA PIIRANGUD NING TOOTEMÄÄRATLUSED Artikli 2.22 „Veinivalmistustavad“ lõike 1 punktides a ja b osutatud tootemääratlusi ning veinivalmistustavasid ja piiranguid käsitlevad õigusnormid on järgmised: a) seadused ja määrused: i) Ley General de Salud (üldine tervishoiuseadus), avaldatud ametlikus väljaandes 7. veebruaril 1984 ja selle määrus; ii) Reglamento de Control Sanitario de Productos y Servicios (toodete ja teenuste sanitaarkontrolli määrus) avaldatud ametlikus väljaandes 9. augustil 1999 ning iii) Ley Federal sobre Metrología y Normalización (metroloogia ja standardimise föderaalseadus), avaldatud ametlikus väljaandes 1. juulil 1992 ja selle määrus; & /et 1 b) Normas Oficiales Mexicanas (Mehhiko ametlikud standardid, edaspidi „NOM“): i) NOM-142-SSA1/SCFI-2014 Bebidas alcohólicas – Especificaciones sanitarias – Etiquetado sanitario y comercial (alkohoolsed joogid – sanitaarnõuded – Sanitaar- ja kaubanduslik märgistus) ning ii) NOM-199-SCFI-2017 Bebidas alcohólicas – Denominación, especificaciones fisicoquímicas, información comercial y métodos de prueba (alkohoolsed joogid – nimetused, füüsikalis-keemilised spetsifikatsioonid, äriteave ja katsemeetodid) ning c) Normas Mexicanas (Mehhiko standardid): i) NMX-V-012-NORMEX-2005 Bebidas alcohólicas – Vino – Especificaciones (alkohoolsed joogid – vein – spetsifikaadid); ii) NMX-V-030-NORMEX-2016 Bebidas alcohólicas – Vino generoso – Denominación, etiquetado y especificaciones (alkohoolsed joogid – vino generoso – nimetused, märgistamine ja spetsifikaadid); iii) NMX-V-047-NORMEX-2009 Bebidas alcohólicas – Vino espumoso y vino gasificado – Denominación, etiquetado y especificaciones (alkohoolsed joogid – vahuveinid – nimetused, märgistamine ja spetsifikaadid); & /et 2 iv) NMX-V-005-NORMEX-2013 Bebidas alcohólicas – Determinación de aldehídos, ésteres, metanol y alcoholes superiores – Métodos de ensayo (prueba) (aldehüüdide, estrite, metanooli ja kõrgemate alkoholide kindlaksmääramine – katsemeetodid); v) NMX-V-006-NORMEX-2013 Bebidas alcohólicas – Determinación de azúcares – Azúcares reductores directos y totales – Métodos de ensayo (prueba) (alkohoolsed joogid – suhkrute määramine – otseste ja redutseerivate suhkrute üldsisaldus – katsemeetodid); vi) NMX-V-013-NORMEX-2013 Bebidas alcohólicas – Determinación del contenido alcohólico (por ciento de alcohol en volumen a 20 °C (% Alc.

Kumbki lepinguosaline täidab tehniliste kaubandustõkete lepingus sätestatud kohustusi seoses müügiloa andmise, teatamismenetluse ja muude regulatiivsete nõuetega, mille kumbki lepinguosaline koostab, võtab vastu või mida kohaldatakse ravimite suhtes ja mis ei kuulu tehniliste eeskirjade määratluse või vastavushindamismenetluse kohaldamisalasse. 2. Kumbki lepinguosaline kasutab oma tehniliste eeskirjade alusena ravimite ja meditsiiniseadmete rahvusvahelisi standardeid, tavasid ja suuniseid, kaasa arvatud neid, mille on välja töötanud Maailma Terviseorganisatsioon (WHO), Majanduskoostöö ja Arengu Organisatsioon (OECD), inimravimite tehniliste nõuete rahvusvahelise ühtlustamisnõukogu (ICH) ning farmaatsiatoodete kontrolli konventsiooni ja farmaatsiatoodete kontrolli alase koostöö kava (PIC/S), välja arvatud juhtudel, kui teaduslikule või tehnilisele teabele tuginedes on nõuetekohaselt põhjendatud, miks sellised rahvusvahelised standardid, tavad või suunised oleksid soovitavate õiguspäraste eesmärkide saavutamiseks ebatõhusad või ebasobivad. & /et 1 3. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et nende täielik osalemine lõikes 2 osutatud asjakohastes organites hõlbustab nendevahelist regulatiivset koostööd. Lepinguosalised püüavad teha otsuse häid tootmistavasid käsitleva vastastikuse tunnustamise lepingu sõlmimise kohta tulevikus. Sellega seoses tunnistavad lepinguosalised, kui oluline on näidata häid tulemusi rahvusvaheliste standardite rakendamisel ja omavahelise usalduse suurendamisel. Kaubavahetuskomitee tuleb kokku iga kahe aasta järel, et jälgida edusamme. Nendel kohtumistel arutavad lepinguosalised oma vastavate õigusraamistike arengut ja seda, kuidas kaitsta teabevahetust. Samuti alustavad lepinguosalised dialoogi, et arutada kontrollimenetlusi ja hinnata vastastikuse tunnustamise lepinguga saavutatavat kokkuhoidu. ________________ & /et 2 2-G LISA MOOTORSÕIDUKID NING NENDE SEADMED JA OSAD 1. Käesolevat lisa kohaldatakse standardite, tehniliste normide ja vastavushindamismenetluste suhtes, mille lepinguosaline on oma kesksel valitsemistasandil vastu võtnud või säilitanud seoses tema õigusnormides määratletud uute mootorsõidukite või mootorsõidukite uute seadmete ohutuse ja heitega. 2. Lepinguosalised püüavad kõrvaldada tarbetud kaubandustõkked ja tõhustada regulatiivset koostööd kooskõlas 9. peatükiga „Tehnilised kaubandustõkked“, tunnustades samal ajal kummagi lepinguosalise õigust määrata kindlaks oma soovitud ohutuse ning tervise-, keskkonna- ja tarbijakaitse tase. Turulepääs 3. Kumbki lepinguosaline aktsepteerib oma turul kõiki tema õigusnormides määratletud uusi mootorsõidukeid või mootorsõidukite uusi seadmeid, tingimusel et tootja on importiva lepinguosalise kohaldatavate menetluste kohaselt tõendanud, et sõiduk või seadmed vastavad importiva lepinguosalise kohaldatavatele ohutusstandarditele ja tehnilistele normidele1. 1 Suurema selguse huvides olgu märgitud, et ühtki käesoleva lõike sätet ei tõlgendata nii, et see takistaks lepinguosalist lubamast oma turul vastu võtta ka uusi mootorsõidukeid või mootorsõidukite uusi seadmeid, mis on sertifitseeritud vastavalt kolmanda riigi ohutus- ja heitenormidele, või nõuda vastavuse tõendamist mootorsõidukite ohutus- ja heitenormidele, mille lepinguosaline säilitab käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäeval. & /et 1 4. Lepinguosalised tunnistavad, et Mehhiko on lisanud oma tehnilistesse normidesse NOM-194-SCFI ja NOM-042-SEMARNAT Euroopa Liidu ja ÜRO Euroopa Majanduskomisjoni (UNECE) tehnilised normid, sealhulgas nende vastavad katsearuanded ja tüübikinnitustunnistused, mis on loetletud liites 2-G-1 „Mehhiko poolt heaks kiidetud tunnistused ja katsearuanded“. 5. Mehhiko säilitab õiguse muuta oma tehnilisi norme NOM‑194‑SCFI ja NOM-042- SEMARNAT, sealhulgas lisades neisse Euroopa Liidu või UNECE tehnilised normid. Selliste muudatuste tegemise ajal teavitab Mehhiko Euroopa Liitu ja esitab taotluse korral teavet muudatuste põhjuste kohta. Mehhiko tunnustab jätkuvalt liites 2-G-1 „Mehhiko poolt heaks kiidetud tunnistused ja katsearuanded“ loetletud tehnilisi norme ja nende ajakohastatud versioone, välja arvatud juhul, kui selline tunnustamine tagaks ohutuse või keskkonnakaitse madalama taseme kui tehtud muudatused või seaks ohtu USA, Mehhiko ja Kanada lepingu raames võetud kohustused või oleks vastuolus Mehhiko õiguspäraste poliitikaeesmärkidega. 6. Kui Mehhiko vaatab läbi mootorsõidukite ja nende seadmete tüübikinnitust käsitlevaid tehnilisi norme, püüavad lepinguosalised üksteisega konsulteerida vastavalt 9. peatüki „Tehnilised kaubandustõkked“ asjakohastele sätetele, et teha kindlaks, kas liites 2-G-2 „Täiendavad tunnistused ja katsearuanded“ loetletud tehnilised normid võib lisada liitesse 2-G-1 „Mehhiko poolt heaks kiidetud tunnistused ja katsearuanded“. & /et 2 7. Kumbki lepinguosaline püüab lubada importida ja viia oma turule tooteid, mille valmistamisel on kasutatud uut tehnoloogiat või mis on uute omadusega, mida importiv lepinguosaline ei ole veel reguleerinud, välja arvatud juhul, kui tal on põhjendatud kahtlused toote ohutuse suhtes, tuginedes teaduslikule või tehnilisele teabele, mis näitab, et see uus tehnoloogia või omadus kujutab endast riski inimeste tervisele, ohutusele või keskkonnale. Lepinguosaline, kes keelab nende toodete impordi ja turule viimise, teatab sellest otsusest teisele lepinguosalisele niipea kui võimalik. 8. Lepinguosaline ei kaota ega vähenda teise lepinguosalise soodustusi, mis tulenevad käesolevast lisast, rakendades hõlmatud toodetega seotud regulatiivseid meetmeid. See kohustus ei piira lepinguosalise õigust võtta meetmeid, mis on vajalikud ohutuse ning keskkonna või rahvatervise kaitseks. Koostöö 9. Lepinguosalised teevad kaubavahetuskomitees koostööd ja vahetavad teavet kõigis käesoleva lisa rakendamisega seotud küsimustes. 10. Et edendada õigusnormide lähendamist, vahetavad lepinguosalised teavet, niivõrd kui see on võimalik, oma mootorsõidukite ohutuse ja keskkonnakaitsega seotud tehniliste eeskirjade kohta. 11.

sätestatud tingimuste kohaldamiseks vastavalt artikli 3.2 „Üldnõuded“ lõike 1 punktile c. 1.2 Käesoleva lisa kohaldamisel on nõuded, mille kohaselt käsitatakse toodet päritolustaatusega tootena vastavalt artikli 3.2 „Üldnõuded“ lõike 1 punktile c järgmised: kauba tariifse klassifikatsiooni muudatus, tootmisprotsess, päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalne väärtus või mass või muu käesolevas lisas sätestatud nõue. 1.3 Viide massile tootepõhises päritolureeglis tähistab netomassi, mis on materjali või toote mass ilma pakendi massita. & /et 1 Märkus 2 Tootepõhiste päritolureeglite loetelu ülesehitus 2.1 Märkusi jaotiste, gruppide, rubriikide või alamrubriikide kohta tuleb vajaduse korral lugeda koos vastava jaotise, grupi, rubriigi või alamrubriigi tootepõhiste päritolureeglitega. 2.2 B jao loetelu teises veerus sätestatud iga tootepõhist päritolureeglit kohaldatakse selle loetelu esimeses veerus osutatud vastava toote suhtes. 2.3 Kui toote suhtes kohaldatakse alternatiivseid tootepõhiseid päritolureegleid, loetakse toode lepinguosalise päritolustaatusele vastavaks, kui ta vastab ühele alternatiivsele reeglile. 2.4 Kui toote suhtes kohaldatakse sellist tootepõhist päritolureeglit, mis sisaldab mitut nõuet, loetakse toode lepinguosalise päritolustaatusele vastavaks üksnes siis, kui ta vastab kõigile neile nõuetele. 2.5 Kui tootepõhises päritolureeglis on konkreetselt sätestatud, et teatavat harmoneeritud süsteemi materjali ei tohi kasutada, tähendab see, et välistatud materjalid peavad pärinema lepinguosalise territooriumilt. Näide: kui rubriigi 3505 päritolureegel näeb ette „CTH, v.a rubriik 1108“, peavad rubriiki 1108 klassifitseeritud materjalid (tärklised, inuliin) olema päritolustaatusega. & /et 2 Märkus 3 Tootepõhiste päritolureeglite kohaldamine 3.1 Artikli 3.2 „Üldnõuded“ lõiget 2, milles käsitletakse tooteid, millele on antud päritolustaatus, kui neid kasutatakse materjalina teiste toodete valmistamisel, kohaldatakse olenemata asjaolust, kas päritolustaatus on antud lepinguosalise samas tootmispaigas, kus neid tooteid kasutatakse. 3.2 Kui tootepõhises päritolureeglis on sätestatud, et teatavat päritolustaatuseta materjali ei tohi kasutada või et teatava päritolustaatuseta materjali väärtus või kaal ei tohi ületada teatavat piirmäära, ei kehti need tingimused selliste päritolustaatuseta materjalide suhtes, mis on harmoneeritud süsteemis mujale klassifitseeritud. Näide: Kui grupi 19 reegel näeb ette, et „kasutatavate rubriiki 1006, 1101, 1102 või 1104– 1108 kuuluvate päritolustaatuseta materjalide kogumass ei ületa 20 % lõpptoote massist“, ei ole grupi 10 päritolustaatuseta teravilja, v.a rubriiki 1006 kuuluv riis, kasutamine piiratud. 3.3 Kui tootepõhise päritolureegliga on ette nähtud, et toode peab olema valmistatud teatavast materjalist, ei takista see kasutamast muid materjale, mis oma iseloomulike omaduste tõttu ei saa reeglile vastata. & /et 3 Märkus 4 Mõisted 4.1 Käesolevas lisas kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „CC“ – valmistamine mis tahes gruppi kuuluvast päritolustaatuseta materjalist, v.a toote gruppi kuuluv materjal, või ümberliigitamine mõnest muust grupist asjaomase toote gruppi, rubriiki või alamrubriiki nii, et kõigi asjaomase toote valmistamiseks kasutatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide puhul tuleb teha tariifse klassifikatsiooni muudatus harmoneeritud süsteemi kahe numbri tasandil (st grupi muudatus); b) „CTH“ – valmistamine mis tahes rubriiki kuuluvast päritolustaatuseta materjalist, v.a toote rubriiki kuuluv materjal, või ümberliigitamine mõnest muust rubriigist asjaomase toote gruppi, rubriiki või alamrubriiki nii, et kõigi asjaomase toote valmistamiseks kasutatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide puhul tuleb teha tariifse klassifikatsiooni muudatus harmoneeritud süsteemi nelja numbri tasandil (st rubriigi muudatus); c) „CTSH“ – valmistamine mis tahes alamrubriiki kuuluvast päritolustaatuseta materjalist, v.a toote alamrubriiki kuuluv materjal, või ümberliigitamine mõnest muust alamrubriigist asjaomase toote gruppi, rubriiki või alamrubriiki nii, et kõigi asjaomase toote valmistamiseks kasutatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide puhul tuleb teha tariifse klassifikatsiooni muudatus harmoneeritud süsteemi kuue numbri tasandil (st alamrubriigi muudatus); d) „tolliväärtus“ – kauba väärtus, mis on määratud tolliväärtuse määramise lepingu kohaselt; & /et 4 e) „EXW“ või „tehasehind“ – hind, mida makstakse tehases toote eest selle lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvale tootjale, kus toimus viimane töö või töötlus, ning mis igal juhul sisaldab kõigi kasutatud materjalide väärtust ja kõiki muid selle tootmisega seotud kulusid, sellest on maha arvatud kõik riigisisesed maksud, mis makstakse tagasi või mida võib tagasi maksta saadud toote ekspordil, isegi kui hind ei ole teada, on ebakindel või ei kajasta kõiki toote tootmisega seotud kulusid. Kui viimane töö või töötlus on tellitud lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvalt tootjalt allhanke korras, osutab mõiste „tootja“ alltöövõtja palganud ettevõtjale; f) „MaxNOM“ – päritolustaatuseta materjalide maksimaalne väärtus, mis on väljendatud protsendimäärana ja mis arvutatakse vastavalt järgmisele valemile: VNM MaxNOM(%) = × 100 EXW g) „NOM“ – valmistamine mis tahes rubriiki kuuluvast päritolustaatuseta materjalist ning h) „VNM“ – toote valmistamisel kasutatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide väärtus, mis on nende tolliväärtus impordi ajal, sealhulgas veo-, kindlustus- (kui see on asjakohane), pakendamis- ja kõik muud kulud, mis on seotud materjalide transportimisega selle lepinguosalise impordisadamasse, kus kauba tootja asub, või kui väärtus ei ole teada ja seda ei ole võimalik kindlaks teha, siis esimene tuvastatav hind, mida makstakse päritolustaatuseta materjalide eest Euroopa Liidus või Mehhikos. & /et 5 Märkus 5 Kiud, trükkimine, põhitekstiilmaterjalid ja lubatud kõrvalekalded 5.1 Käesolevas lisas kasutatud termin „looduslikud kiud“ osutab muudele ketruseelses etapis olevatele kiududele kui kunst- ja sünteeskiud, sealhulgas jäätmed, ning kui ei ole määratud teisiti, hõlmab see kraasitud, kammitud või muul viisil töödeldud, kuid ketramata kiudusid. 5.2 Termin „looduslikud kiud“ hõlmab rubriiki 0511 kuuluvat hobusejõhvi, rubriikidesse 5002 ja 5003 kuuluvat siidi ning rubriikidesse 5101–5105 kuuluvaid villakiudusid, loomavilla ja -karva, rubriikidesse 5201–5203 kuuluvaid puuvillakiudusid ning rubriikidesse 5301–5305 kuuluvaid muid taimseid kiudusid. 5.3 Tootepõhiste päritolureeglite loetelus kasutatud terminitega „tekstiilimass“, „keemilised materjalid“ ja „paberi valmistamiseks kasutatavad materjalid“ kirjeldatakse materjale, mis ei kuulu gruppidesse 50–63 ning mida saab kasutada tehis-, süntees- või paberkiudude ja -lõngade valmistamiseks. 5.4 Tootepõhiste päritolureeglite loetelus kasutatud termin „keemilised staapelkiud“ tähendab rubriikidesse 5501–5507 kuuluvaid süntees- või tehisfilamentköisikuid, -staapelkiudusid või kiujäätmeid. 5.5 „Trükkimine“– tehnika, millega tekstiili alusmaterjalile antakse püsiva loomuga objektiivselt hinnatav funktsioon, nagu värv, kujundus või tehniline omadus, kasutades siidi-, rull-, digitaal- või ülekandetrüki tehnikaid. & /et 6 5.6 „Trükkimine (eraldiseisva toiminguna)“ – trükkimine kombineeritult vähemalt kahe ettevalmistus- või viimistlustoiminguga (nt pesemine, pleegitamine, merseriseerimine, termofikseerimine, karvastamine, kalandreerimine, kokkutõmbumisvastane töötlemine, püsiviimistlemine, dekateerimine, immutamine, nõelumine ja nopete eemaldamine, kõrvetamine, tsentrifuugimine, pingutamine raamil, freesimine, aurutamine ja kahandamine ning märg- dekateerimine), tingimusel et kõigi kasutatud päritolustaatuseta materjalide väärtus ei ületa 50 % kauba tehasehinnast. 5.7 Kui teatava toote puhul on tootepõhiste päritolureeglite loetelus viidatud märkusele 5, ei kohaldata kõnealuse loetelu teises veerus sätestatud tingimusi selle toote valmistamisel kasutatud päritolustaatuseta põhitekstiilmaterjalide suhtes, mis kokku ei ületa 8 % kõigi kasutatud põhitekstiilmaterjalide kogumassist. Kehtida võivad ka märkused 5.9 või 5.10. 5.8 Märkuses 5.7 sätestatud lubatud kõrvalekallet võib kohaldada üksnes segatoodete suhtes, mis on valmistatud kahest või enamast järgmisest põhitekstiilmaterjalist: a) siid; b) vill; c) loomakarvad; d) loomavill; & /et 7 e) hobusejõhv; f) puuvill; g) paberi valmistamiseks kasutatavad materjalid ja paber; h) lina; i) kanep; j) džuut ja muud niintekstiilkiud; k) sisal ja muud perekonna Agave taimede tekstiilkiud; l) kookoskiud, manillakanep, ramjee ja muud taimsed tekstiilkiud; m) sünteesfilamentkiud; n) tehisfilamentkiud; o) elektrit juhtiv filamentkiud; p) polüpropüleenist sünteesstaapelkiud; & /et 8 q) polüestrist sünteesstaapelkiud; r) polüamiidist sünteesstaapelkiud; s) polüakrüülnitriilist sünteesstaapelkiud; t) polüimiidist sünteesstaapelkiud; u) polütetrafluoroetüleenist sünteesstaapelkiud; v) polüfenüülsulfiidist sünteesstaapelkiud; w) polüvinüülkloriidist sünteesstaapelkiud; x) muud sünteesstaapelkiud; y) viskoosist tehisstaapelkiud; z) muud tehisstaapelkiud; aa) mähitud või mähkimata lõng, mis koosneb elastsete polüeetriosadega polüuretaanist; & /et 9 ab) mähitud või mähkimata lõng, mis koosneb elastsete polüestriosadega polüuretaanist; ac) rubriiki 5605 kuuluvad tooted (metalliseeritud lõng), mis sisaldavad kahe plastkile vahele läbipaistva või värvilise liimiga liimitud kuni 5 mm laiust riba, mis koosneb alumiiniumpulbriga kaetud või katmata alumiiniumfoolium- või plastkilesüdamikust, ning ad) muud rubriiki 5605 kuuluvad tooted. Näide: Rubriiki 5203 kuuluvast puuvillakiust ja rubriiki 5506 kuuluvast sünteesstaapelkiust valmistatud rubriiki 5205 kuuluv lõng on segalõng. Seetõttu võib päritolustaatuseta sünteesstaapelkiud, mis ei vasta päritolureeglitele (mis näevad ette, et see peab olema valmistatud keemilistest materjalidest või tekstiilimassist), moodustada kuni 8 % lõnga massist. Näide: Rubriiki 5112 kuuluv villane riie, mis on valmistatud rubriiki 5107 kuuluvast villasest lõngast ja rubriiki 5509 kuuluvast sünteesstaapellõngast, on segariie. Seetõttu võib sünteeslõnga, mis ei vasta päritolureeglitele (milles nähakse ette, et see peab olema valmistatud keemilisest materjalist või tekstiilimassist), või villast lõnga, mis ei vasta päritolureeglitele (milles nähakse ette, et see peab olema valmistatud kraasimata, kammimata või muul viisil ketramiseks ettevalmistamata looduslikust kiust), või nende segu kasutada tingimusel, et nende kogumass ei ületa 8 % riide massist. & /et 10 Näide: Rubriiki 5205 kuuluvast puuvillasest lõngast ja rubriiki 5210 kuuluvast puuvillasest riidest valmistatud rubriiki 5802 kuuluv taftingriie on segatoode üksnes siis, kui puuvillane riie ise on kahte eri rubriiki klassifitseeritud lõngast valmistatud segariie või kui puuvillane lõng on segatoode. Näide: Kui kõnealune taftingriie on valmistatud rubriiki 5205 kuuluvast puuvillasest lõngast ja rubriiki 5407 kuuluvast sünteesriidest, on kasutatud lõngad ilmselt kaks erinevat põhitekstiilmaterjali, mistõttu selline taftingriie on segatoode. 5.9 Kui teatava toote puhul viidatakse märkusele 5, ei kohaldata B jaotise loetelu teises veerus sätestatud tingimusi mähitud või mähkimata lõnga suhtes, mis koosneb elastsete polüeetriosadega polüuretaanist, kui päritolustaatuseta lõng ei ületa 8 % kõigi kasutatud põhitekstiilmaterjalide kogumassist. 5.10 Kui teatava toote puhul viidatakse märkusele 5, ei kohaldata B jaotise loetelu teises veerus sätestatud tingimusi ribade suhtes, mis sisaldavad kahe plastkile vahele läbipaistva või värvilise liimiga liimitud kuni 5 mm laiust riba, mis koosneb alumiiniumpulbriga kaetud või katmata alumiiniumfoolium- või plastkilesüdamikust, kui päritolustaatuseta ribad ei ületa 30 % kõigi kasutatud põhitekstiilmaterjalide kogumassist. & /et 11 Märkus 6 Muud teatavate tekstiilmaterjalide suhtes kohaldatavad lubatud kõrvalekalded 6.1 Kui tootepõhiste päritolureeglite loetelus B jaos viidatakse märkusele 6, võib kasutada päritolustaatuseta tekstiilmaterjale (välja arvatud vooder ja vaheriie), mis ei vasta asjaomase lisa teise veeru nõuetele tekstiilist valmistoodete kohta, tingimusel et need materjalid on klassifitseeritud mõnda teise rubriiki kui kõnealune toode ning nende väärtus ei ületa 8 % toote tehasehinnast. 6.2 Ilma et see piiraks märkuse 6.3 kohaldamist, võib tekstiiltoodete tootmiseks vabalt kasutada gruppidesse 50–63 klassifitseerimata materjale, hoolimata sellest, kas need sisaldavad tekstiili või mitte. Näide: Kui loetelu reegel näeb ette, et teatava tekstiilmaterjalist kaubaartikli, näiteks pükste valmistamiseks tuleb kasutada lõnga, ei takista see metallist kaubaartiklite, näiteks nööpide kasutamist, kuna nööpe ei klassifitseerita gruppidesse 50–63. Samal põhjusel ei takista see tõmblukkude kasutamist, isegi kui tõmblukud sisaldavad tavaliselt tekstiili. 6.3 Kui kohaldatakse protsendireeglit, tuleb gruppidesse 50–63 klassifitseerimata materjalide väärtus võtta arvesse kaubas sisalduvate päritolustaatuseta materjalide väärtuse arvutamisel. & /et 12 Märkus 7 Põllumajandustooted 7.1 Harmoneeritud süsteemi II jao ja rubriigi 2401 alla klassifitseeritud põllumajandustooteid, mis on kasvatatud või koristatud lepinguosalise territooriumil, käsitatakse selle lepinguosalise territooriumilt pärinevana isegi siis, kui need on kasvatatud kolmandast riigist imporditud seemnetest, sibulatest, pookealustest, pistikutest, pookeokstest, võsudest, pungadest või muudest elusatest taimeosadest. Märkus 8 Protsesside määratlused 8.1 „Keemiline reaktsioon“ – protsess, sealhulgas biokeemiline protsess, mille tulemusel tekib molekulisiseste sidemete katkemise ja uute molekulisiseste sidemete moodustumise või molekulis sisalduvate aatomite paigutuse muutumise teel uue struktuuriga molekul. Käesoleva määratluse tähenduses ei loeta keemiliseks reaktsiooniks järgmist: a) lahustamine vees või muudes lahustites; b) lahustite, sealhulgas vee eemaldamine või c) kristallisatsioonivee lisamine või eemaldamine. & /et 13 8.2 „Segamine“ – materjalide sihilik ja proportsionaalne kontrollitud segamine, k.a dispergeerimine (v.a lahjendite lisamine) eelnevalt kindlaksmääratud nõuetele vastavuse saavutamiseks; selle tulemusel saadakse toode, mille füüsikalised ja keemilised omadused vastavad selle kauba otstarbele ja kasutusvaldkondadele ning erinevad sisendmaterjalide omadustest. 8.3 „Puhastamine“ – protsess, mille tulemusena kõrvaldatakse vähemalt 80 % olemasolevatest lisanditest või vähendatakse või eemaldatakse lisandid, mille tulemusena saadakse ühele või mitmele järgmisele kasutusvaldkonnale vastav kaup: a) farmaatsias, meditsiinis, kosmeetikas, veterinaarias või toiduainetes kasutatavad ained; b) analüüside tegemisel, diagnostikas või laboris kasutatavad kemikaalid ja reaktiivid; c) mikroelektroonikas kasutatavad elemendid ja komponendid; d) optikas spetsiaalse kasutusega; e) biotehnikas kasutatavad kaubad, näiteks rakukülvid, geenitehnoloogia või katalüsaator; f) eraldamisprotsessis kasutatavad kandjad või g) radioaktiivsuse kasutamisega. & /et 14 8.4 „Osakeste suuruse muutmine“ – toote osakeste suuruse tahtlik ja kontrollitud muutmine muul viisil kui üksnes purustamise või pressimise teel, mille tulemusel saadakse toode, millel on kindlaksmääratud suurusega osakesed, osakeste kindlaksmääratud suurusjaotus või kindlaksmääratud pind, mis on saadava toote seisukohalt olulised ning mille füüsikalised ja keemilised omadused erinevad kasutatud materjalide omadest. 8.5 „Standardmaterjalide tootmine“ (sh standardlahused) – selliste preparaatide tootmine, mis sobivad analüüside tegemiseks, kalibreerimiseks või etalonina kasutamiseks ning millel on tootja poolt sertifitseeritud täpne puhtusaste või seguvahekord. 8.6 „Isomeeride eraldamine“ – isomeeride isoleerimine või eraldamine isomeeride segust. 8.7 „Biotehnoloogiline protsess“ – a) bioloogiline või biotehnoloogiline kasvatamine (sealhulgas rakukultuurid), hübridiseerimine või geneetiline muundamine seoses järgnevaga: i) mikroorganismid, näiteks bakterid ja viirused (sealhulgas faagid) või ii) inimeste, loomade või taimede rakud; ning b) rakuliste või rakkudevaheliste struktuuride (nt isoleeritud geenid, geenifragmendid ja plasmiidid) tootmine, isoleerimine või puhastamine; fermenteerimine. & /et 15 B JAGU TOOTEPÕHISTE PÄRITOLUREEGLITE LOETELU Harmoneeritud süsteemi Tootepõhised päritolureeglid klassifikatsioon (2012) I JAOTIS ELUSLOOMAD; LOOMSED TOOTED Grupp 1 Elusloomad 0101–0106 Kõik gruppi 1 kuuluvad loomad on täielikult saadud.

Sõltuvalt kaupade päritolust märgib eksportija päritolukinnituse teksti lahtrisse 3 kas „Mehhiko“, „Andorra“ või „San Marino“. 7. Euroopa Liit teatab Mehhikole nende tolliasutuste aadressid ja kontaktandmed, kes vastutavad päritolukinnituste kontrollimise eest Andorra Vürstiriigis ja San Marino Vabariigis. 8. Kui Andorra Vürstiriigi või San Marino Vabariigi pädev valitsusasutus ei järgi 3. peatüki sätteid, võib Mehhiko pöörduda artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti d alusel loodud tolli, kaubanduse lihtsustamise ja päritolureeglite allkomitee poole, et määrata kindlaks sobivad meetmed küsimuse lahendamiseks. ________________ & /et 2 3-D LISA SELGITAVAD MÄRKUSED Artikkel 3.14 „Mittemuutmise põhimõte“ 1. Kui eksportija ei tea ekspordi ajal saadetises sisalduvate konkreetsete kaupade lõppsihtkohta, esitab importija päritolukinnituse, mis on väljastatud pärast eksportimist. 2. Importija võib tõendada, et kaup, mida veeti läbi kolmanda riigi territooriumi (koos ümberlaadimise või ajutise ladustamisega või ilma), oli sellel territooriumil tolli järelevalve all. Importiva lepinguosalise tolliasutuse taotlusel peab importija esitama järgmised dokumendid: a) veodokumendid, nagu lennusaateleht, veokiri või maanteeveokiri, milles on märgitud kauba lähetamise kuupäev ja koht ning lõppsihtkoha sadam, lennujaam või sissetoomise koht, juhul kui kaup veetakse läbi ühe või mitme kolmanda riigi territooriumi ilma ümberlaadimise või ajutise ladustamiseta; b) veodokumendid, nagu lennusaateleht, veokiri või maanteeveokiri, või kombineeritud veo dokument, kui kaupa veetakse läbi ühe või mitme kolmanda riigi territooriumi koos ümberlaadimisega sellisel territooriumil, kuid ilma et seda seal ajutiselt ladustataks; või & /et 1 c) koopia dokumentidest, mis tõendavad, et kaup oli tolliasutuse järelevalve all, juhul kui kaup, mida veeti läbi ühe või mitme kolmanda riigi territooriumi, laaditi seal ümber ja ladustati ajutiselt. 3. Lõikes 2 osutatud dokumentide puudumise korral võib importija esitada muid tõendavaid dokumente. Artikkel 3.18 „Päritolukinnituse koostamise tingimused“ 4. Päritolukinnituse peab koostama ühe lepinguosalise territooriumil asutatud eksportija. Kui arve on koostatud kolmandas riigis, koostatakse päritolukinnitus mis tahes muul äridokumendil1, mis on välja antud eksportiva lepinguosalise territooriumil ja milles asjaomaseid kaupu kirjeldatakse piisavalt täpselt, et neid oleks võimalik 3. peatüki „Päritolureeglid ja -menetlused“ kohaselt päritolustaatusega toodetena identifitseerida. Sellisel juhul peab dokumendis, mille alusel päritolukinnitus koostatakse, olema märgitud kauba eksportija. 5. Päritolukinnituse sõnastus peab olema kooskõlas 3-B lisas „Päritolukinnituse tekst“ esitatud sõnastusega. 6. Päritolukinnitus ei tohiks sisaldada märget päritolustaatuseta kaupade kohta, mida päritolukinnitus ei hõlma. Selline märge peaks olema esitatud arvel täpsusega, mis võimaldab vältida arusaamatusi. 1 Need äridokumendid on näiteks kaubaga kaasas olev kättetoimetamisteatis või pakkeleht. & /et 2 7. Päritolukinnitused, mis on esitatud arvete või äridokumentide valguskoopiatel, on vastuvõetavad tingimusel, et sellistel kinnitustel on eksportija allkiri samadel tingimustel kui originaalil. 8. Arve või äridokumendi tagaküljel esitatud päritolukinnitus on vastuvõetav. 9. Arve eraldi lehel koostatud päritolukinnitus on vastuvõetav tingimusel, et see leht on selgelt arve osa. Täiendavat vormi ei tohi kasutada. 10. Päritolukinnitus, mis on koostatud etiketil ja lisatakse hiljem arvele, on vastuvõetav, kui ei ole kahtlust, et etiketi on kinnitanud eksportija. Näiteks juhul kui eksportija allkiri ulatub üle etiketi ja arve. ________________ & /et 3 6-A LISA PÄDEVAD ASUTUSED 1. 6. peatüki „Sanitaar- ja fütosanitaarmeetmed“ kohaldamisel on artikli 6.1 „Mõisted“ lõike 1 punktis a osutatud pädevad asutused järgmised asutused või nende õigusjärglased: a) Euroopa Liidu puhul jaguneb kontroll liikmesriikide asutuste ja Euroopa Komisjoni vahel järgmiselt: i) Mehhikosse eksportimisel vastutavad liikmesriikide asutused tootmistingimuste ja - nõuete kontrollimise, sealhulgas kohustuslike kontrollide läbiviimise ja kokkulepitud standardite ja nõuete täitmist tõendavate terviseohutus- ja loomakaitsesertifikaatide väljastamise eest; ii) Mehhikost importimisel vastutavad liikmesriikide asutused impordi Euroopa Liidu imporditingimustele vastavuse kontrollimise eest; ning iii) Euroopa Komisjon vastutab üldise koordineerimise, kontrollisüsteemide inspekteerimise või auditeerimise ja vajalike meetmete, sealhulgas seadusandliku tegevuse eest, millega tagatakse Euroopa Liidu piires standardite ja nõuete ühetaoline kohaldamine; ning & /et 1 b) Mehhiko puhul: i) riikliku põllumajandusliku toidutootmise tervise-, ohutus- ja kvaliteediteenistuse (SENASICA) põllumajandusliku toidutootmise, vesiviljeluse ja kalanduse ohutuse peadirektoraat (Dirección General de Inocuidad Agroalimentaria, Acuícola y Pesquera del Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (SENASICA)); ii) riikliku põllumajandusliku toidutootmise tervise-, ohutus- ja kvaliteediteenistuse (SENASICA) loomatervishoiu peadirektoraat (Dirección General de Salud Animal del Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (SENASICA)); iii) riikliku põllumajandusliku toidutootmise tervise-, ohutus- ja kvaliteediteenistuse (SENASICA) taimetervise peadirektoraat (Dirección General de Sanidad Vegetal del Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (SENASICA)); iv) tervishoiutegevuse komisjon – föderaalne terviseriskikaitsekomisjon (COFEPRIS) (Comisión de Operación Sanitaria - Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS)); v) tõendite ja riskijuhtimise komisjon – föderaalne terviseriskikaitsekomisjon (COFEPRIS) (Comisión de Evidencia y Manejo de Riesgos - Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS)); & /et 2 vi) föderaalse tervishoiusüsteemi üldine koordineerimine – föderaalne terviseriskikaitsekomisjon (COFEPRIS) (Coordinación General del Sistema Federal Sanitario - Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS)) ning vii) keskkonna ja loodusvarade ministeeriumi (SEMARNAT) metsa- ja mullamajanduse peadirektoraat (Dirección General de Gestión Forestal y de Suelos de la Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT)). 2.

C JAGU Kvalifikatsiooni tunnustamise neli etappi 14. Kvalifikatsiooni tunnustamise lihtsustamiseks ja hõlbustamiseks tuleks kaaluda protsessi, mis koosneb järgmisest neljast etapist. Esimene etapp: samaväärsuse kontrollimine 15. Läbirääkimisi pidavad üksused peaksid kontrollima reguleeritud kutsealaga hõlmatud tegevuse ulatuse või kvalifikatsiooni üldist samaväärsust oma vastavates jurisdiktsioonides. 16. Kvalifikatsiooni kontrollimise käigus tuleks koguda kogu asjakohane teave tegutsemisõiguste ulatuse kohta, mis on seotud seadusest tuleneva pädevusega teatud kutsealal tegutseda, või kvalifikatsiooni kohta, mida nõutakse vastavates jurisdiktsioonides konkreetsel reguleeritud kutsealal tegutsemiseks. & /et 8 17. Läbirääkimisi pidavad üksused peaksid määrama kindlaks: a) reguleeritud kutsealal tegutsemise õigustega hõlmatud tegevusvaldkonnad või tegevusvaldkondade rühmad ja b) kummaski jurisdiktsioonis nõutava kvalifikatsiooni, mille hulka võivad kuuluda järgmised elemendid: i) minimaalne nõutav haridustase, näiteks vastuvõtunõuded, õpingute kestus ja läbitud õppeained; ii) minimaalsed nõutavad kogemused, näiteks praktilise koolituse või enne litsentsimist teatud kutsealal järelevalve all tegutsemise asukoht, kestus ja tingimused, või eetika- ja distsiplinaarstandardite raamistik; iii) sooritatud eksamid, eriti kutsealase pädevusega seotud eksamid; iv) mil määral ühe jurisdiktsiooni kvalifikatsiooni teises jurisdiktsioonis tunnustatakse ning & /et 9 v) kvalifikatsioon, mida kummagi jurisdiktsiooni asjakohased asutused on valmis tunnustama, näiteks loetledes väljastatavad diplomid või tunnistused või viidates konkreetsetele miinimumnõuetele, mille täitmist peavad kinnitama päritolukoha jurisdiktsiooni asjakohased asutused, sealhulgas sellele, kas teatavat kvalifikatsiooni omades on võimalik saada tunnustus tegutsemiseks mõnes tegevuse ulatusega hõlmatud tegevusvaldkonnas, aga mitte teistes, näiteks haridustase, õpingute kestus, põhiained, üldained ja valdkonnad. 18. Reguleeritud kutsealal tegutsemise õiguste ulatus või kvalifikatsioon on üldjoontes samaväärne, kui selles ei esine jurisdiktsioonide vahel märkimisväärseid erinevusi. Teine etapp: märkimisväärsete erinevuste hindamine 19. Reguleeritud kutsealal tegutsemiseks nõutava kvalifikatsiooni ulatus erineb märkimisväärselt, juhul kui jurisdiktsioonide vahel on: a) suuri erinevusi olulistes teadmistes või b) suuri erinevusi väljaõppe kestuses või sisus. 20. Tegevuse ulatus erineb märkimisväärselt, juhul kui: a) üks või mitu kutsealaga hõlmatud tegevusvaldkonda ei moodusta päritolujurisdiktsioonis vastava kutseala osa; & /et 10 b) nende tegevusvaldkondade puhul nõutakse vastuvõtvas jurisdiktsioonis eriväljaõpet ja c) nende tegevusvaldkondade puhul vastuvõtvas jurisdiktsioonis pakutav väljaõpe hõlmab märksa teistsuguseid valdkondi kui need, mis on hõlmatud taotleja kvalifikatsiooniga. Kolmas etapp: samaväärsusmeetmed 21. Kui läbirääkimisi pidavad üksused leiavad, et kutsealal tegutsemise õiguste ulatus või kvalifikatsioon erineb jurisdiktsioonide vahel märkimisväärselt, võivad nad selle erinevuse vähendamiseks määrata kindlaks samaväärsusmeetmed. 22. Samaväärsusmeetmed võivad väljenduda muu hulgas kohanemisajas või, kui seda nõutakse, sobivustestis. 23. Samaväärsusmeetmed peaksid olema proportsionaalsed selle märkimisväärse erinevusega, mida nendega püütakse ületada.

Olenemata 21. peatükist „Riigihanked“ võib Mehhiko vabastada hankelepingud 21. peatükis „Riigihanked“ sätestatud kohustustest järgmistel tingimustel: a) vabastatud hankelepingute koguväärtus ei tohi ületada 2 328 000 000 USA dollarit Mehhiko peeso ekvivalendina ühel kalendriaastal alates käesoleva lepingu jõustumise kuupäevast ning kõigi hankeüksuste peale kokku, kaasa arvatud PEMEX ja CFE; b) käesoleva punkti kohaselt ühel aastal vabastatavate ühe FSC klassi (või muu lepinguosaliste vahel kokku lepitud klassifikatsioonisüsteemi rubriigi) alla kuuluvate hankelepingute kogumaksumus ei tohi ületada 10 % nende lepingute kogumaksumusest, mida võib käesoleva lõike alusel kõnealusel aastal vabastada; & /et 116 c) ükski üksus, mille suhtes kohaldatakse alapunkti a, ei tohi ühelgi kalendriaastal vabastada lepinguid maksumuses, mis on suurem kui 20 % nende lepingute kogumaksumusest, mida võib kõnealusel aastal vabastada, ning d) PEMEXi ja CFE poolt vabastatud lepingute kogumaksumus ei tohi ühelgi kalendriaastal ületada 466 000 000 USA dollarit Mehhiko peeso ekvivalendina. 6. Alates käesoleva lepingu jõustumise aastale järgneva kalendriaasta jaanuarist kohandatakse punktis 5 USA dollarites väljendatud summasid igal aastal kumulatiivse inflatsiooniga, võttes aluseks USA SKP kaudse hinnadeflaatori või Majandusnõustajate Nõukogu poolt väljaandes „Economic Indicators“ selle asemel avaldatava majandusnäitajate indeksi. Dollarites väljendatud summad, mida on korrigeeritud kumulatiivse inflatsiooniga iga 2018. aastale järgneva kalendriaasta jaanuari seisuga, on võrdsed algsete dollarites väljendatud summadega, mida on korrutatud kõnesoleva aasta jaanuaris kehtiva USA SKP kaudse hinnadeflaatori või Majandusnõustajate Nõukogu poolt väljaandes „Economic Indicators“ selle asemel avaldatava majandusnäitajate indeksi ning 2018. aasta jaanuaris kehtinud USA SKP kaudse hinnadeflaatori või Majandusnõustajate Nõukogu poolt väljaandes „Economic Indicators“ selle asemel avaldatud majandusnäitajate indeksi suhtega, tingimusel et kõnealusel hinnadeflaatoril on sama baasaasta. Saadud kohandatud summad dollarites ümardatakse lähima miljoni dollarini. Mehhiko teatab Euroopa Liidule kohandatud summad dollarites hiljemalt kohandamise jõustumise aasta jaanuari jooksul. & /et 117 7. Kui Mehhiko ületab ühel aastal selliste lepingute kogumaksumuse, mille ta võib punkti 5 kohaselt vabastada, konsulteerib Mehhiko Euroopa Liiduga, et leppida kokku täiendavate hankevõimaluste vormis hüvitises järgmiseks aastaks. Konsultatsioonid ei piira teise lepinguosalise õigusi, mis tulenevad 31. peatükist „Vaidluste lahendamine“. PEMEXi ja CFE kohaliku sisendi nõuded 8. Olenemata 21. peatükist „Riigihanked“ võivad PEMEX ja CFE kehtestada kohaliku sisendi nõude, mis ei tohi ületada: a) 40 % töömahukate kasutusvalmis või suurte integreeritud projektide puhul või b) 20 % kapitalimahukate kasutusvalmis või suurte integreeritud projektide puhul. 9. Käesoleva lõike kohaldamisel tähendab „kasutusvalmis või suur integreeritud projekt“ ehitus- , tarne- või paigaldusprojekti, mida teostab peatöövõtja vastavalt üksuse sätestatud tingimustele, mille kohaselt: a) peatöövõtjal on õigus valida üldtöövõtjaid või alltöövõtjaid; b) ei PEMEX ega CFE ei rahasta projekti; & /et 118 c) kohustuste täitmata jätmisega seotud riskid kannab peatöövõtja ning d) rajatist hakkab käitama üksus või kolmas osaleja üksusega sõlmitud hankelepingu alusel. 10. Kui Mehhiko rahvusvahelise lepingu või õigusnormi või poliitika kohase PEMEXi või CFE otsusega lepingute maksumuse protsendimäära alandatakse, asendatakse kõnealused protsendimäärad alaliselt. Käesoleva märkuse rakendamisel ei kohtle Mehhiko hankeüksused Euroopa Liidu pakkujaid vähem soodsalt kui Mehhiko või mõne kolmanda riigi pakkujaid. 11. Mõiste „kohalik sisend“ hõlmab kulusid Mehhikos toodetud komponentidele, alamkomponentidele ja toorainetele, sisaldades kulusid tööle või muudele seotud teenustele, nagu müügijärgsed ja hooldusteenused, nagu on pakkumuses kindlaks määratud. Mõiste hõlmab ka kõiki kulusid, mis on seotud toodete lõpliku koostamisega Mehhikos. Pakkujal on õigus määrata hanketeates sätestatud võimaluste piires ise kindlaks, milline osa lepingu maksumusest täidetakse Mehhikos loodud väärtusega. 12. Rahastamiskõlblikud kulud peavad võimaldama edukale pakkujale mõistlikku paindlikkust, et sõlmida leping Mehhiko tarnijatega konkurentsivõimelistel tingimustel, mis hõlmavad sealjuures hinda ja kvaliteeti. PEMEX ja CFE ei tohi lepinguid osadeks jagada nii, et see piirab pakkuja jaoks rahastamiskõlblike kulude valikut. & /et 119 13. Hankeüksused märgivad nii hanketeates kui ka lepingus kohaliku sisendi nõuded ja nendega seotud tingimused selgelt ja objektiivselt ära. 14. Kümme aastat pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist esitab Mehhiko artikli 33.4 „Allkomiteed ja muud organid“ lõike 1 punkti j alusel moodustatud riigihangete allkomiteele aruande käesoleva punkti kohaldamise kohta. 15. Ühtegi 21. peatüki „Riigihanked“ sätet ei tõlgendata nii, et see nõuaks PEMEXilt riskijagamise lepingute sõlmimist. Künniste kohandamise valem 16. Käesoleva lisa A ja C jaos USA dollarites väljendatud künniseid kohandatakse igal kalendriaastal inflatsiooniga vastavalt USMCA 13. peatüki „Riigihanked“ 13-A lisa „Mehhiko loend“ G jao punktis 1 sätestatud piirmäärade kohandamise valemiga Ameerika Ühendriikide jaoks kindlaksmääratud määrale. Mehhiko teatab Euroopa Liidule Ameerika Ühendriikide poolt kindlaks määratud inflatsioonimäära hiljemalt kohanduse jõustumisele eelneva aasta 18. novembriks. & /et 120 17. Mehhiko arvutab ja konverteerib künniste väärtuse Mehhiko peesodesse, kasutades Banco de México (Mehhiko keskpank) ümberarvestuskurssi. Ümberarvestuskursiks on Mehhiko peeso väärtus USA dollarites iga aasta 1. detsembril ja 1. juunil või neile järgneval esimesel tööpäeval. 1. detsembri ümberarvestuskurssi kohaldatakse järgmise aasta 1. jaanuarist kuni 30. juunini ning 1. juuni ümberarvestuskurssi kohaldatakse sama aasta 1. juulist kuni 31. detsembrini. Enne, kui Mehhiko hakkab Mehhiko peeso ümberarvestuskursi ja kindlaksmääratud künniseid kohaldama, teeb ta need teatavaks Euroopa Liidule. 18.

Ametisse nimetav asutus või ametiisik järgib kõiki tingimusi, milles lepinguosalised võivad kokku leppida. a) Ametisse nimetav asutus või ametiisik teatab lepinguosalistele viivitamata loosi teel valimise kuupäeva, kellaaja ja koha. Lepinguosalised osalevad loosi teel valimise juures. b) Ilma et see piiraks töökorra punkti 7 alapunkti a kohaldamist, tehakse loosi teel valik artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ lõikes 6 sätestatud ajavahemiku jooksul kohal viibiva lepinguosalise või kohal viibivate lepinguosaliste juuresolekul. 8. Artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ lõigete 4, 6 ja 7 kohaldamisel lähtutakse järgmistest põhimõtetest, kui mõni artikli 31.8 „Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad“ lõikes 1 osutatud alamnimekirjadest: a) ei ole kaubanduskomitee poolt vastu võetud, valitakse vahekohtu liige, vahekohtu liikmed või eesistuja nende isikute hulgast, kelle üks või mõlemad lepinguosalised on kõnealusesse alamnimekirja määranud ja kelle nime teisele lepinguosalisele kirjalikult teada andnud, või b) ei sisalda enam vähemalt viit isikut, valitakse vahekohtu liige, vahekohtu liikmed või vahekohtu eesistuja nende isikute hulgast, kes on alamnimekirja jäänud. & /et 5 9. Kohe pärast valiku tegemist teatab kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise või lepinguosaliste ühiselt määratud asutus kirjalikult igale isikule, kes on valitud vahekohtu liikmeks või vahekohtu eesistujaks, tema valimisest ja edastab talle 31-B lisas esitatud vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhendi koopia. Isik kinnitab lepinguosaliste määratud asutusele viie päeva jooksul pärast kuupäeva, mil teda teavitati tema nimetamisest, et ta on valmis täitma vahekohtus liikme või eesistuja ülesandeid, ning esitab 31-B lisa „Vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhend“ punktide 6–9 „Avalikustamiskohustus“ kohase avalikustamisavalduse. 10. Kui kolm valitud vahekohtu liiget on kinnitanud, et neil on võimalik vahekohtu töös osaleda, teavitab asjaomane määratud asutus viivitamata lepinguosalisi vahekohtu koosseisust. Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad 11. Kumbki lepinguosaline teatab hiljemalt kahe kuu jooksul pärast käesoleva lepingu jõustumist teisele lepinguosalisele kirjalikult isikud, kelle ta määrab artikli 31.8 „Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad“ lõikes 1 osutatud alamnimekirjadesse. 12. Kui ta leiab, et teise lepinguosalise poolt artikli 31.8 „Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad“ lõike 1 punktides a ja b osutatud alamnimekirja määratud isik ei vasta artiklis 31.9 „Vahekohtu liikmetele esitatavad nõuded“ esitatud nõuetele, võib lepinguosaline esitada 30 päeva jooksul pärast punktis 11 osutatud teate saamist selle isiku suhtes vastuväite. 15 päeva jooksul pärast vastuväitest teatamist arutavad lepinguosalised selle üle, kas isik vastab kõnealustele nõuetele. Lahkarvamuse korral eemaldab lepinguosaline isiku, kelle vastu teine lepinguosaline on vastuväite esitanud, alamnimekirjast ja määrab sinna uue isiku. & /et 6 13. 30 päeva jooksul pärast punkti 11 kohase teate esitamist lepivad lepinguosalised kummagi lepinguosalise määratud isikute põhjal kokku alamnimekirjas, mis sisaldab isikuid, kes hakkavad täitma artikli 31.8 „Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad“ lõike 1 punktis c osutatud vahekohtu eesistuja ülesandeid. 14. Lepinguosaline võib igal ajal otsustada oma alamnimekirja muuta ning sel juhul teavitab ta teist lepinguosalist kirjalikult enda määratud isikutest. Sellisel juhul kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis punktis 12 osutatud menetlust. Lepinguosalised võivad vastastikusel kokkuleppel muuta ka alamnimekirja isikutest, kes hakkavad tegutsema eesistujana. 15. Kaubanduskomitee võtab vastu lepinguosaliste alamnimekirjade muudatused hiljemalt kuus kuud pärast punktis 14 osutatud teate saamist. Korralduslik kohtumine 16. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, kohtuvad nad vahekohtuga seitsme päeva jooksul pärast vahekohtu moodustamist, et määrata kindlaks küsimused, mida lepinguosalised või vahekohus peavad asjakohaseks, sealhulgas: a) menetluse ajakava, sealhulgas esildiste esitamise täpsed kuupäevad ja suulise istungi kuupäev; b) vahekohtu liikmetele makstav tasu ja nende kulude hüvitamine, mis peavad olema kooskõlas WTO normidega, ning & /et 7 c) assistentidele makstav tasu. Ühegi vahekohtu liikme assistendi ega assistentide tasu kogusumma ei tohi ületada 50 % asjaomase vahekohtu liikme tasust. 17. Vahekohtu liikmed ja lepinguosaliste esindajad võivad osaleda kohtumisel mis tahes sidevahendi kaudu. Kirjalikud esildised 18. Kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline esitab oma esmase kirjaliku esildise hiljemalt 20 päeva pärast vahekohtu moodustamise kuupäeva. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, esitab oma esialgse kirjaliku esildise hiljemalt 20 päeva jooksul pärast kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise kirjaliku esildise kättetoimetamise kuupäeva. Kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline esitab oma ümberlükkava kirjaliku esildise hiljemalt 20 päeva jooksul pärast kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise esialgse kirjaliku esildise esitamiseks ette nähtud kuupäeva. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, esitab soovi korral oma ümberlükkava kirjaliku esildise hiljemalt 20 päeva jooksul pärast kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise ümberlükkava kirjaliku esildise esitamiseks ette nähtud kuupäeva. Vahekohtu töö 19. Vahekohtu eesistuja juhatab kõiki selle istungeid. Vahekohus võib delegeerida eesistujale volitused teha haldus- ja menetlusotsuseid. & /et 8 20. Kui 31. peatükis „Vaidluste lahendamine“ või käesolevas töökorras ei ole sätestatud teisiti, võib vahekohus tegutseda mis tahes viisil. 21. Vahekohtu nõupidamistel võivad osaleda üksnes vahekohtu liikmed, kuid vahekohtu liikmed võivad lubada oma assistentidel nõupidamise juures viibida. 22. Mis tahes otsuse ja aruande koostamise eest vastutab üksnes vahekohus ja seda ülesannet ei tohi delegeerida. 23. Kui tekib menetlusküsimus, mis ei ole hõlmatud 31. peatüki „Vaidluste lahendamine“ ega käesoleva lisaga, võib vahekohus pärast lepinguosalistega konsulteerimist võtta kasutusele sobiva menetluse, mis on kooskõlas kõnealuste sätetega. 24. Kui vahekohus peab vajalikuks menetluse tähtaegu – välja arvatud 31. peatükis „Vaidluste lahendamine“ sätestatud tähtajad – muuta või teha muid menetluslikke või halduskohandusi, teatab ta pärast lepinguosalistega konsulteerimist neile kirjalikult tähtaja muutmise või kohanduse põhjuse ning vajaliku tähtaja või kohanduse. Asendamine 25. Kui lepinguosaline leiab, et vahekohtu liige ei järgi 31-B lisas „Vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhend“ sätestatud tegevusjuhendit ja ta tuleks seetõttu asendada, teavitab lepinguosaline teist lepinguosalist 15 päeva jooksul pärast seda, kui ta sai piisavalt tõendeid selle kohta, et vahekohtu liige ei ole väidetavalt järginud 31-B lisa. & /et 9 26. Lepinguosalised konsulteerivad omavahel 15 päeva jooksul pärast punktis 25 osutatud teate saamist. Nad teavitavad vahekohtu liiget tema väidetavast rikkumisest ja võivad nõuda vahekohtu liikmelt meetmete võtmist rikkumise parandamiseks. Kokkuleppe korral võivad nad vahekohtu liikme ka tagasi kutsuda ja valida uue liikme kooskõlas käesoleva lepingu artikliga 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“. 27. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua vahekohtu liikme (välja arvatud eesistuja) asendamises kokkuleppele, võib emb-kumb lepinguosaline taotleda, et sellest teavitataks vahekohtu eesistujat, kes teeb lõpliku otsuse. 28. Kui vahekohtu eesistuja leiab, et punktis 27 osutatud vahekohtu liige ei ole järginud 31-B lisa „Vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhend“, eemaldatakse selline vahekohtu liige ja valitakse artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ kohaselt vahekohtule uus liige. 29. Kui lepinguosalised ei jõua vahekohtu esimehe asendamise vajaduses kokkuleppele, võib kumbki lepinguosaline taotleda, et küsimus antakse lahendamiseks ühele artikli 31.8 „Vahekohtu liikmete nimekirjad“ lõike 1 punktis c osutatud alamnimekirjas alles olevatest isikutest. Ametisse nimetav asutus või ametiisik valib selle isiku loosi teel. Valitud isiku otsus eesistuja väljavahetamise vajalikkuse kohta on lõplik. 30. Kui punkti 29 kohaselt loosi teel valitud isik leiab, et vahekohtu eesistuja ei ole järginud 31-B lisa „Vahekohtu liikmete ja vahendajate tegevusjuhend“, valitakse artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ kohaselt vahekohtule uus eesistuja. & /et 10 Istungid 31. Pärast lepinguosaliste ja teiste vahekohtu liikmetega konsulteerimist teatab vahekohtu eesistuja lepinguosalistele istungi toimumise kuupäeva, kellaaja ja toimumiskoha. Istungi kuupäev vastab tavaliselt kuupäevale, mis on kindlaks määratud punkti 16 kohaselt kindlaks määratud ajakavas. Istungi toimumise kuupäeva, kellaaja ja koha teeb avalikult teatavaks lepinguosaline, kelle juures istung toimub, välja arvatud juhul, kui istung on üldsusele suletud. 32. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi kokku teisiti, toimub istung Brüsselis juhul, kui kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline on Mehhiko, ja Mehhikos, kui kaebuse esitanud lepinguosaline on Euroopa Liit. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, kannab istungi logistilised halduskulud. 33. Vahekohus võib kokku kutsuda lisaistungeid, kui lepinguosalised selles kokku lepivad. 34. Kõik vahekohtu liikmed peavad kõigi istungite ajal kohal viibima. 35. Kui pooled ei lepi kokku teisiti, võivad istungitel osaleda järgmised isikud olenemata sellest, kas istung on avalik või kinnine: a) lepinguosalise esindajad; b) nõustajad; & /et 11 c) assistendid ja haldustöötajad; d) vahekohtu tõlgid, tõlkijad ja protokollijad ning e) eksperdid, kui neid on vaja, vastavalt artikli 31.23 „Teabe saamine“ lõikele 2. 36. Määratud asutus teeb vahekohtu ja lepinguosalistega konsulteerides asjakohased logistilised korraldused ja kehtestab asjakohase korra tagamaks, et üldsuse osalemine ei häiri istungeid. Istungil osaleda soovivatel üldsuse esindajatel, sealhulgas akrediteeritud ajakirjanikel ja valitsusväliste üksuste esindajatel, võidakse paluda end enne istungit registreerida. Kui kohtade arv on piiratud, jaotatakse need täidetud registreerimisvormide saabumise järjekorras. Üldsuse hulka kuuluvatel isikutel ei ole lubatud istungit heli- ega videosalvestada. 37. Lepinguosaline, kes soovib istungil konfidentsiaalset teavet esitada või arutada, teatab sellest eelnevalt vahekohtule ja määratud asutusele. Võimalust mööda esitab lepinguosaline teate vähemalt 10 päeva enne istungi esimest päeva. 38. Istungi kinnisel osal võivad kohal viibida ainult punktis 35 nimetatud isikud. Isikud, kes näevad või kuulevad konfidentsiaalset teavet, ei tohi seda avalikustada ega lubada selle avalikustamist ning kasutavad seda teavet üksnes vahekohtumenetluses. & /et 12 39. Kumbki lepinguosaline esitab hiljemalt viis päeva enne istungi toimumise kuupäeva vahekohtule ja teisele lepinguosalisele nimekirja isikute kohta, kes esitavad istungil suulisi väiteid või selgitusi lepinguosalise nimel, ja teiste esindajate ja nõustajate kohta, kes osalevad istungil. 40. Vahekohus korraldab istungi järgmisel viisil, tagades, et kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalisele ja lepinguosalisele, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, antakse võrdselt aega nii väidete kui ka vastuväidete esitamiseks. a) Väited i) kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise väited ning ii) selle lepinguosalise väited, kelle vastu kaebus esitati. b) Vastuväited i) kaebuse esitanud lepinguosalise vastus ning ii) selle lepinguosalise vasturepliik, kelle vastu kaebus esitati. 41. Vahekohus võib istungi jooksul esitada igal ajal mõlemale lepinguosalisele küsimusi. Vahekohus jätab lepinguosalistele võimaluse teha kokkuvõtvaid avaldusi. & /et 13 42. Vahekohus tagab, et iga istungi kohta koostatakse protokoll, mis edastatakse lepinguosalistele võimalikult kiiresti pärast istungit. Lepinguosalised võivad protokolli kohta märkusi esitada ning vahekohus võib neid märkusi arvesse võtta. 43. Kumbki lepinguosaline võib kümne päeva jooksul pärast istungi kuupäeva esitada istungil tekkinud küsimuste kohta täiendavaid kirjalikke esildisi. Lepinguosaline võib viie päeva jooksul pärast teise lepinguosalise esitatud täiendavat kirjalikku esildist esitada selle kohta kirjalikke märkusi. Kirjalikud küsimused 44. Vahekohus võib vahekohtu menetluse käigus esitada ühele või mõlemale poolele igal ajal kirjalikke küsimusi. Ühele lepinguosalisele esitatud küsimus edastatakse koopiana teisele lepinguosalisele. 45. Kumbki lepinguosaline saadab teisele lepinguosalisele koopia oma kirjalikust vastusest vahekohtu küsimustele. Teisel lepinguosalisel on võimalus esitada viie päeva jooksul pärast asjaomase lepinguosalise vastuse koopia kättesaamist selle kohta kirjalikke märkusi. Dokumentide avalikustamine 46. Vastavalt punktidele 48 ja 49 ja kooskõlas konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitsega peetakse kinni järgmisest: a) lepinguosaline, kes esitab artikli 31.5 „Konsultatsioonid“ või artikli 31.6 „Vahekohtu moodustamine“ kohase taotluse, avalikustab taotluse koopia hiljemalt 15 päeva jooksul pärast taotluse esitamise kuupäeva ning & /et 14 b) kumbki lepinguosaline teeb oma kirjalikud esildised, suuliste avalduste kirjalikud versioonid ning kirjalikud vastused vahekohtu taotlustele ja küsimustele, kui see on asjakohane, üldsusele kättesaadavaks võimalikult kiiresti pärast selliste dokumentide esitamist ja hiljemalt lõpparuande esitamise kuupäeval. 47. Lepinguosaline ei või avalikustada lepinguosalistele artikli 31.13 „Vahearuanne“ kohaselt esitatud vahearuande sisu ega vahearuande kohta tehtud märkuste sisu. Konfidentsiaalsus 48. Kumbki lepinguosaline ja vahekohus käsitlevad lepinguosaliste poolt vahekohtule esitatud ja konfidentsiaalsena märgitud teavet konfidentsiaalsena. Kui lepinguosaline esitab vahekohtule kirjaliku esildise või suulise avalduse kirjaliku versiooni või vahekohtu taotlusele või küsimusele kirjaliku vastuse, mis sisaldab konfidentsiaalset teavet, esitab ta 15 päeva jooksul pärast sellise dokumendi esitamise kuupäeva ka mittekonfidentsiaalse versiooni, mida saab avalikustada. 49. Miski käesolevas töökorras ei keela lepinguosalisel avaldada üldsusele oma seisukohti sellises ulatuses, et teise lepinguosalise esitatud teabele viidates ei avalda ta teise lepinguosalise poolt konfidentsiaalseks tunnistatud teavet. 50. Pärast lepinguosalistega konsulteerimist võib vahekohus kehtestada täiendavaid ajutisi menetlusi, mida ta peab konfidentsiaalse teabe kaitsmiseks vajalikuks. & /et 15 Ühepoolsed kontaktid 51. Vahekohus ei kohtu ega võta ühendust lepinguosalisega, kui teine lepinguosaline ei viibi kohal. 52. Ükski vahekohtu liige ei aruta vaidluse eseme mis tahes aspekti ühe või mõlema lepinguosalisega, kui teised vahekohtu liikmed ei viibi kohal. Amicus curiae esildised 53. Kui lepinguosalised ei lepi viie päeva jooksul pärast vahekohtu moodustamise kuupäeva kokku teisiti, võib vahekohus võtta vastu kirjalikke esildisi, mille lepinguosalise territooriumil asuvad füüsilised või juriidilised isikud, kes on lepinguosaliste valitsustest sõltumatud, on esitanud omal algatusel, tingimusel et a) vahekohus saab need kätte kümne päeva jooksul pärast vahekohtu moodustamise kuupäeva; b) need on lühikesed ja mitte mingil juhul pikemad kui 15 lehekülge (trükitud kahekordse reavahega), kaasa arvatud lisad; c) need puudutavad otseselt vahekohtu käsitletavat faktilist või õiguslikku küsimust; d) need sisaldavad esildise esitanud isiku kirjeldust, sh füüsilise isiku puhul tema kodakondsust ja juriidilise isiku puhul tema asukohta, tegevuse laadi, õiguslikku seisundit, üldeesmärke ja rahastamisallikaid; & /et 16 e) nendes on märgitud, mis laadi huvi on asjaomasel isikul vahekohtumenetluse suhtes, ning f) need on koostatud keeltes, mille lepinguosalised on valinud vastavalt töökorra punktidele 58 ja 59. 54. Esildised esitatakse lepinguosalistele märkuste tegemiseks. Lepinguosalised võivad esitada vahekohtule märkusi kümne päeva jooksul pärast esildise kättetoimetamist. 55. Vahekohus loetleb oma aruandes kõik esildised, mille ta on vastavalt punktile 53 saanud. Vahekohus ei ole kohustatud oma aruandes käsitlema kõnealustes esildistes esitatud väiteid. Kui aga vahekohus käsitleb sellistes esildistes tehtud väiteid oma aruandes, võtab ta arvesse ka kõiki märkusi, mille lepinguosalised on esitanud vastavalt töökorra punktile 54. Ekspertide arvamuse ja tehnilise nõu saamine 56. Kui lepinguosaline taotleb artikli 31.23 „Teabe saamine“ kohaselt, et vahekohus küsiks ekspertide arvamust või tehnilist nõu, teatab ta sellisest taotlusest teisele lepinguosalisele. Kui vahekohus küsib ekspertide arvamust või tehnilist nõu, teavitab ta sellest ka lepinguosalisi. Hiljemalt 15 päeva pärast sellise teate saamist konsulteerib vahekohus lepinguosalistega, et teha kindlaks, kas arvamuse või tehnilise nõu küsimine ekspertidelt on põhjendatud, ning leppida kokku arvamuse või tehnilise nõu taotlemise tingimustes, sealhulgas vajaduse korral ekspertides, kellelt tuleks arvamust või tehnilist nõu küsida. & /et 17 Kiireloomulised asjad 57. Artiklis 31.12 „Otsus kiireloomulisuse kohta“ osutatud kiireloomuliste juhtumite korral kohandab vahekohus pärast lepinguosalistega konsulteerimist vajaduse korral töökorras nimetatud tähtaegu. Vahekohus teavitab lepinguosalisi sellistest kohandustest. Kirjalik ja suuline tõlge 58. Artiklis 31.5 „Konsultatsioonid“ osutatud konsultatsioonide jooksul ja hiljemalt käesoleva töökorra punktis 16 osutatud kohtumise kuupäeval püüavad lepinguosalised leppida kokku vahekohtu menetluse ühises töökeeles. 59. Kui lepinguosalised ei suuda ühises töökeeles kokku leppida, esitab kumbki lepinguosaline oma kirjaliku esildise, suulise avalduse kirjaliku versiooni, kirjaliku vastuse vahekohtu taotlusele või küsimusele ning mis tahes muu vahekohtumenetlusega seotud dokumendi oma valitud keeles. Kumbki lepinguosaline esitab samal ajal tõlke teise lepinguosalise poolt valitud keeles, välja arvatud siis, kui tema esildised on kirjutatud ühes WTO töökeeles. Lepinguosaline, kelle vastu kaebus esitati, korraldab ütluste suulise tõlke lepinguosaliste valitud keeltesse. 60. Vahekohtu otsused ja aruanded esitatakse lepinguosaliste valitud keeles või keeltes. Kui lepinguosalised ei ole ühises töökeeles kokku leppinud, esitatakse vahearuanne ja lõpparuanne ühes WTO töökeeles. & /et 18 61. Käesoleva töökorra kohaselt koostatud dokumentide tõlgete õigsuse kohta võivad mõlemad lepinguosalised märkusi esitada. 62. Kumbki lepinguosaline kannab oma kirjalike esildiste, suuliste avalduste kirjalike versioonide, vahekohtu taotlustele või küsimustele antavate kirjalike vastuste ja muude vahekohtumenetlusega seotud dokumentide tõlkimise kulud. Vahekohtu otsuste ja aruannete tõlkimise kulud kannavad lepinguosalised võrdselt. Tähtajad 63. Kui 31. peatükis „Vaidluste lahendamine“, käesolevas töökorras või vahekohtu otsustes nõutakse teate esitamist või toimingu tegemist enne või pärast mõnd kuupäeva või sündmust, ei arvata asjaomast kuupäeva või sündmuse toimumise päeva kõnealuse tähtaja sisse. 64. Kui tähtaega pikendatakse, sealhulgas juhul, kui tähtaega pikendatakse lepinguosalist mõjutava vääramatu jõu tõttu, kohandatakse asjaomaseid tähtaegu vastavalt. Muud menetlused 65. Käesolevas töökorras sätestatud tähtaegu kohandatakse vastavalt eritähtaegadele, mis on ette nähtud vahekohtu otsuse või aruande vastuvõtmiseks artikli 31.16 „Täitmise mõistlik tähtaeg“, artikli 31.17 „Täitmise kontroll“, artikli 31.18 „Ajutised õiguskaitsevahendid“ ja artikli 31.19 „Ajutiste õiguskaitsevahendite kasutamise järel võetud täitmismeetmete kontroll“ alusel. ________________ & /et 19 31-B LISA VAHEKOHTU LIIKMETE JA VAHENDAJATE TEGEVUSJUHEND Mõisted 1. 31. peatükis „Vaidluste lahendamine“ ja käesolevas tegevusjuhendis kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: a) „haldustöötajad“ – vahekohtu liikme puhul tema juhtimise ja kontrolli all olevad isikud, välja arvatud assistendid; b) „assistent“ – isik, kes vahekohtu liikme ametisse nimetamise tingimuste kohaselt ning vahekohtu liikme juhtimise ja kontrolli all viib läbi uurimisi või abistab seda vahekohtu liiget; c) „kandidaat“ – isik, kelle valimist vahekohtu liikmeks kaalutakse artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ alusel; d) „vahendaja“ – isik, kes viib läbi vahendusmenetluse vastavalt artiklile 31.29 „Vahendusmenetluse eeskirjad“; e) „vahekohtu liige“ – vahekohtu koosseisu kuuluv isik. & /et 1 Üldpõhimõtted 2. Et tagada vaidluste lahendamise mehhanismi usaldusväärsus ja erapooletus, peab iga kandidaat ja vahekohtu liige: a) tutvuma käesoleva tegevusjuhendiga; b) olema sõltumatu ja erapooletu; c) vältima otsest ja kaudset huvide konflikti; d) hoiduma ebasobivast või ebasobivana või erapoolikuna näivast käitumisest; e) järgima vahekohtu menetluste konfidentsiaalsust; f) järgima rangeid käitumisnorme ning g) mitte laskma end mõjutada isiklikest huvidest, välisest survest, poliitilistest tõekspidamistest, avalikust kuulsusest, lojaalsusest lepinguosalisele ega kriitikakartusest. & /et 2 3. Et tagada vaidluste lahendamise mehhanismi usaldusväärsus ja erapooletus, ei tohi ükski vahekohtu liige: a) võtta kaudselt ega otseselt ühtegi kohustust ega võtta vastu ühtegi hüve, mis võiks takistada või tunduda takistavat vahekohtu liikme ülesannete nõuetekohast täitmist; b) kasutada oma ametiseisundit vahekohtus oma isiklike või erahuvide edendamiseks, vältides tegevust, mis võib jätta mulje, et keegi teine on tema suhtes eriseisundis, mis võimaldab teda mõjutada, ega c) lasta varasematel ega praegustel rahalistel, ärilistel, erialastel, perekondlikel, isiklikel ega sotsiaalsetel suhetel, huvidel ega küsimustel mõjutada oma käitumist ega otsuseid. 4. Vahekohtu liige väldib selliste suhete sõlmimist ja rahaliste huvide tekkimist, mis võivad mõjutada tema sõltumatust või erapooletust või mis võivad anda alust ebasobiva käitumise või erapoolikuse mulje tekkimisele. Avalikustamiskohustus 5. Enne seda, kui artikli 31.7 „Vahekohtu koosseis“ kohaselt vahekohtu liikmeks valitud kandidaat nõustub enda vahekohtu liikmeks nimetamisega, avalikustab ta kõik huvid, suhted ja küsimused, mis võivad mõjutada tema sõltumatust või erapooletust või mis võivad vahekohtu menetluse ajal anda alust ebasobiva käitumise või erapoolikuse mulje tekkimisele. Sel eesmärgil teeb kandidaat mõistlikes piirides kõik endast oleneva, et kõik sellised huvid, suhted ja küsimused, sealhulgas finants-, äri-, ametialased, perekondlikud, isiklikud ja sotsiaalsed huvid välja selgitada. & /et 3 6.

Kui vahekohtu liige on ametisse määratud , teeb ta jätkuvalt mõistlikes piires kõik endast sõltuva, et selgitada välja kõik punktis 5 viidatud huvid, suhted ja küsimused, ja avalikustab need. Punkti 5 kohane avalikustamiskohustus on pidev ülesanne, mis nõuab vahekohtu liikmelt kõigi selliste huvide, suhete ja vaidluste avalikustamist, mis võivad tekkida menetluse mis tahes etapis. 8. Kandidaadid ja vahekohtu liikmed edastavad lepinguosalistele käesoleva tegevusjuhendi tegelikku või võimalikku rikkumist puudutava teabe niipea, kui nad sellest teada saavad, et lepinguosalised saaksid kõnealust teavet kaaluda. 9. Kõik teated adresseeritakse asutustele, mille lepinguosalised on määranud vastavalt artiklile 31.36 „Vaidluste lahendamise menetluse haldamine“. Vahekohtu liikmete kohustused 10. Vahekohtu liikmeks nimetamisega nõustudes on vahekohtu liige valmis oma ülesandeid täitma ja ta täidab neid põhjalikult, kiiresti, ausalt ja hoolikalt kogu menetluse jooksul. 11. Vahekohtu liige käsitleb üksnes neid küsimusi, mis vahekohtu menetluses tõstatatakse ja mis on otsuse tegemisel vajalikud, ega delegeeri seda ülesannet ühelegi muule isikule. & /et 5 12. Eksperdid, assistendid ja haldustöötajad täidavad punktide 2–13 ja 16–18 kohaseid vahekohtu liikmete kohustusi. Sellega seoses võtavad vahekohtu liikmed mõistlikes piirides kõik meetmed ja astuvad kõik vajalikud sammud tagamaks, et nad on nendest kohustustest teadlikud ja täidavad neid. 13. Vahekohtu liige ei astu menetlusega seoses ühepoolsetesse kontaktidesse. Endiste vahekohtu liikmete kohustused 14. Kõik endised vahekohtu liikmed väldivad tegevust, mis võib tekitada mulje, et nad olid oma ülesannete täitmisel erapoolikud või said vahekohtu otsusest kasu. 15. Endine vahekohtu liige täidab punktides 16–18 sätestatud kohustusi. Konfidentsiaalsus 16. Vahekohtu liige ei avalikusta kunagi talle määratud menetlusega seotud või sellise menetluse käigus saadud mitteavalikku teavet. Vahekohtu liige ei avalikusta ega kasuta mitte mingil juhul seda teavet selleks, et saada isiklikku kasu, tuua kasu kellelegi teisele või kahjustada teiste isikute huve. 17. Vahekohtu liige ei avalikusta vahekohtu aruannet ega otsust ega nende osi enne selle avaldamist kooskõlas 31. peatükiga „Vaidluste lahendamine“. & /et 6 18. Vahekohtu liige ei avalda kunagi teavet vahekohtu nõupidamiste ega ühegi vahekohtu liikme seisukohtade kohta ega tee avaldusi talle määratud menetluse või menetletavate vaidlusküsimuste kohta. Kui vahekohus teeb otsuse häälteenamusega, ei avalikusta vahekohtu liige, milline vahekohtu liige või liikmed on seotud vahekohtu menetluses enamuse ja vähemuse arvamusega. Kulud 19. Iga vahekohtu liige peab arvestust menetlusele kulunud aja ja oma kulude kohta ning esitab nende kohta lõpparuande, samuti peab ta arvestust oma assistentide ja haldustöötajate tööaja ja kulude kohta.
