Definitions Concerning Maritime Transport

1. Without prejudice to the scope of activities which may be considered as "cabotage" under the relevant national legislation, this schedule does not include "maritime cabotage services", which are assumed to cover transportation of passengers or goods between a port located in a Member State and another port located in the same Member State and traffic originating and terminating in the same port located in a Member State provided that this traffic remains within this Member State's territorial waters.

2. "Other forms of commercial presence for the supply of international maritime transport services" means the ability of international maritime transport service suppliers of the other Party to undertake locally all activities which are necessary for the supply to their customers of a partially or fully integrated transport service within which the maritime transport constitutes a substantial element. (This commitment shall not, however, be construed as limiting in any manner the commitments undertaken under the cross-border mode of delivery).

These activities include, but are not limited to:

(a) marketing and sales of maritime transport and related services through direct contact with customers, from quotation to invoicing, these services being those operated or offered by the service supplier itself or by service suppliers with which the service seller has established standing business arrangements;

(b) the acquisition, on their own account or on behalf or their customers (and the resale to their customers) of any transport and related services, including inward transport services by any mode, particularly inland waterways, road and rail, necessary for the supply of the integrated services;

(c) the preparation of documentation concerning transport documents, customs documents, or other documents related to the origin and character of the goods transported;

(d) the provision of business information by any means, including computerised information systems and electronic data interchange (subject to the provisions of this Agreement);

(e) the setting up of any business arrangements (including participation in the stock of a company) and the appointment of personnel recruited locally (or, in the case of foreign personnel, subject to the horizontal commitment on movement of personnel) with any locally established shipping agency;

(f) acting on behalf of the companies, organising the call of the ship or taking over cargoes when required.

3. "Multimodal transport operators" means the person on whose behalf the bill of lading/multimodal transport document, or any other document evidencing a contract of multimodal carriage of goods, is issued and who is responsible for the carriage of goods pursuant to the contract of carriage.

[1] In the case of Austria, Finland and Sweden no horizontal reservation has been taken for services considered as public utilities.

[2] Explanatory note: public utilities exist in sectors such as related scientific and technical consulting services, R&D services on social sciences and humanities, technical testing and analysis services, environmental services, health services, transport services and services auxiliary to all modes of transport. Exclusive rights on such services are often granted to private operators, for instance operators with concessions from public authorities, subject to specific service obligations. Given that public utilities often also exist at the sub-central level, detailed and exhaustive sector-specific scheduling is not practical.

[3] Exceptions from these requirements may be granted, if it can be proved that residency is not necessary.

[****] SI: according to the Law on Commercial Companies, a branch established in the Republic of Slovenia is not considered a juridical person, but as regards their operation, their treatment is equal to a subsidiary.

[5] Commercial, industrial or artisanal activities relate to sectors such as: other business services, construction, distribution and tourism services. It does not relate to telecommunications and financial services.

[6] CZ: a non-discriminatory system of foreign exchange control is applied consisting of:(a)limitation on acquisition of foreign exchange by resident nationals for personal purposes;(b)foreign exchange authorisation in case of Czech residents for acceptance of financial credits from foreign subjects, direct capital investment abroad, acquisition of real estate abroad and purchases of foreign securities.

[7] PL: there is a non-discriminatory system of foreign exchange controls relating to limitations in foreign exchange turnover and to the system of foreign exchange permits (general and individual) among others limitations of capital flows and currency payments. The following foreign exchange transactions require authorisation:

- transfer of foreign exchange out of the country,

- transfer of Polish currency into the country,

- ownership transfer of the right to monetary assets between domestic and foreign persons,

- granting and drawing of loans and credits by domestic persons in foreign exchange transactions,

- fixing or executing payments in foreign currencies within Poland for acquired goods, real estate, property rights, services or labour,

- opening and possessing of a banking account in a bank situated abroad,

- acquiring and holding foreign securities and acquiring real estate abroad,

- undertaking other obligations abroad of similar effect.

[8] SK: entries being listed for transparency reasons.

[9] BG: there is a non-discriminatory system of foreign exchange controls over transfers and payments related to current transactions: (i) limitations on exports and imports of national or foreign currency in cash; (ii) limitations on acquisition of foreign exchange by resident nationals for personal purposes; (iii) foreign employees may purchase foreign currency up to 70 per cent of their labour remuneration; (iv) payments and transfers abroad in foreign currency are to be effected by banks; (v) unilateral transfers require the permission of BNB; (vi) payments on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria are to be effected in BGL.

[10] Foreign persons have the right to transfer abroad the following revenues and compensations that accrue from investments in the Republic of Bulgaria: returns received, compensation for expropriation of the investment for state purposes, proceeds from the liquidation or sale of all or part of the investment, the amount received in execution of a claim secured in currency by a pledge or a mortgage.

[11] PL: the footnote under market access is also applicable for national treatment.

[12] RO: 30 per cent of the capital of the State-owned commercial companies has been distributed free of charge to Romanian citizens through "Ownership Certificates" which cannot be sold to foreign legal and natural persons.RO: the remaining 70 per cent of the capital of these companies is to be put on sale.RO: within the privatisation process, foreign investors can buy assets and shares of commercial companies. Romanian legal and natural persons have a priority right in this respect. Under privatisation through the MEBO method (Management-Employee-Buy-Out) the right to purchase a commercial company is reserved for its employees.

[13] The duration of "temporary stay" is defined by the Member States and, where they exist, Community laws and regulations regarding entry, stay and work. The precise duration can vary according to the different categories of natural persons mentioned in this schedule. For category (i), the length of stay is limited in the following Member States as follows: BG - one year, which may be extended for up to one additional year for a total term not to exceed three years; EE - three years, which may be extended for up to two additional years for a total term not to exceed five years; LV - five years; LT - three years, extendable in the case of senior personnel only for up to two additional years; PL and SI - one year, which may be extended. For category (ii), the length of stay is limited in the following Member States as follows: BG - three months within one calendar year; EE - 90 days per six month period; PL - three months; LT - three months a year; HU, LV, SI - 90 days.

[14] All other requirements of Community and Member States' laws and regulations regarding entry, stay, work and social security measures shall continue to apply, including regulations concerning period of stay, minimum wages as well as collective wage agreements.

[15] An "intra-corporate transferee" is defined as a natural person working within a legal person, other than a non-profit making organisation, established in the territory of Chile, and being temporarily transferred in the context of the provision of a service through commercial presence in the territory of a Member State; the legal persons concerned must have their principal place of business in the territory of Chile and the transfer must be to an establishment (office, branch or subsidiary) of that legal person, effectively providing like services in the territory of a Member State to which the EC Treaty applies.

[16] The service contract shall comply with the laws, regulations and requirements of the Community and the Member State where the service contract is executed.

[17] BG: consultancy on law does not include: legal representation before jurisdiction (judicial or non-judicial) and administrative bodies as well as preparation of legal documents for such procedures; expression of legal opinions concerning laws other than the law of the jurisdiction where the service supplier is qualified as a lawyer; and out-of-court legal representation related to the rights and obligations of Bulgarian nationals.

[18] When not appearing under the title "Advokat", or as an EEA lawyer under his or her home-country corresponding title, foreign lawyers may freely offer legal advice activities.

[19] Access to these professions is governed by the French law No 90-1259 of 31 December 1990 which opens the entire range of legal and judicial activities.

[20] International law includes also EC law.

[] Explanatory note: given the fact that commercial presence is required to exercise any auditing activity, the cross-border mode is unbound. Only established statutory auditors can be approved by the national professional bodies. Approval is a necessary pre-condition to exercising the activity.

[22] SI: according to Slovene law, auditing services are a matter of firms, not natural persons.

[23] Foreign exams and experience giving equivalent competence are recognised.

[] Indicates that the service specified constitutes only a part of the total range of activities covered by the CPC concordance.

[25] Prices charged for private services are determined by professional organisations and approved by the Minister of Health Care.
