(c) does not constitute a restriction on the cross-
border provision of a service.

2. Notwithstanding Article 1203, a Party shall not be required to extend to a service provider of another Party the benefits of recognition of education, experience, licenses or certifications obtained in another country, whether such recognition was accorded unilaterally or by arrangement or agreement with that other country. The Party according such recognition shall afford any interested Party an adequate opportunity to demonstrate that education, experience, licenses or certifications obtained in that other Party's territory should also be recognized or to negotiate and enter into an agreement or arrangement of comparable effect.

3. Two years after the date of entry into force of this Agreement, a Party shall eliminate any citizenship or permanent residency requirement for the licensing and certification of professional service providers in its territory. Where a Party does not comply with this provision with respect to a particular sector, any other Party may maintain an equivalent requirement or reinstate any such requirement eliminated pursuant to this Article, only in the affected sector, for such period as the non-complying Party retains the requirement.

4. The Parties shall consult periodically with a view to determining the feasibility of removing any remaining citizenship or permanent residency requirement for the licensing and certification of nationals of the other Parties.

5. Each Party shall implement the provisions of Annex 1210.

(ii) the denying Party has imposed measures against the non-Party that prohibit transactions with such enterprise or that would be violated or circumvented by the activities of such enterprise; and
