Such information shall include, inter alia, where it exists:

' Such criteria may include inter alia competence and the ability to supply a service, including to do so in a manner consistent with a Party’s regulatory requirements. Competent authorities may assess the weight to be given to each criterion.

2 For the purposes of this Chapter, ‘authorisation’ means the permission to supply a financial service, resulting from a procedure to which an applicant must adhere in order to demonstrate compliance with licensing requirements or qualification requirements.

3 For greater certainty, competent authorities are not required to start considering applications outside of their official working hours and working days.

11. Each Party shall ensure that the processing of an application, including reaching a final decision, is completed within a reasonable timeframe after the date of submission of a complete application and that the applicant is informed of the decision concerning the application, to the extent possible, in writing.

4 Such opportunity does not require a competent authority to provide extensions of deadlines.

5 Authorisation fees do not include fees for the use of natural resources, payments for auction, tendering or other non-discriminatory means of awarding concessions, or mandated contributions to universal service provision.

12. ‘If an application is rejected by the competent authority, the applicant shall be informed, either at its own request or upon the competent authority’s initiative, in writing and without undue delay.

3. This Article does not prevent a financial institution of a Party from applying to the other Party to consider authorising the supply of a financial service that is not supplied within either Party's territory.

Article 18.15. Self-regulatory Organisations

4. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to impede that where a Party requires information for supervisory purposes concerning a financial institution in the other Party's territory or a cross-border financial service supplier in the other Party's territory, the Party may approach the competent regulatory authority in the other Party's territory to seek the information.
