In sectors where market access commitments are undertaken, the measures which a Party shall not maintain or adopt either on the basis of a regional subdivision or on the basis of its entire territory, unless otherwise specified in the Schedule of Specific Commitments in Annexes […] (lists of commitments on cross border supply of services), are defined as:
limitations on the number of services suppliers whether in the form of numerical quotas, monopolies, exclusive service suppliers or the requirements of an economic needs test16;
limitations on the total value of service transactions or assets in the form of numerical quotas or the requirement of an economic needs test; and

16 Subparagraph 2(a) includes measures which require a service supplier of the other Party to have an enterprise within the meaning of paragraph (d) of Article 1.3 (Definitions) or to be resident in a Party’s territory as a condition for the cross-border supply of a service.
Article ARTICLE 8.14
National treatment
In the sectors inscribed in its Schedule of Specific Commitments in Annexes […] (lists of commitments on cross border supply of services) and subject to any conditions and qualifications set out therein, each Party shall accord to services and service suppliers of the other Party, in respect of all measures affecting the cross-border supply of services, treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its own like services and services suppliers.
A Party may meet the requirement of paragraph 1 of this Article by according to services and service suppliers of the other Party either formally identical treatment or formally different treatment to that it accords to its own like services and service suppliers.
Formally identical or formally different treatment shall be considered to be less favourable if it modifies the conditions of competition in favour of services or service suppliers of the Party compared to like services or service suppliers of the other Party.
Specific commitments assumed under this Article shall not be construed to require any Party to compensate for inherent competitive disadvantages which result from the foreign character of the relevant services or services suppliers.
Article ARTICLE 8.15

of any third country pursuant to any international investment treaty or other trade agreement signed or in force prior to the date of entry into force of this Agreement.
Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not be construed to oblige a Party to extend to the investors of the other Party the benefit of any treatment resulting from:
an international agreement for the avoidance of double taxation or other international agreements or arrangements relating wholly or mainly to taxation; or
measures providing for the recognition of qualifications, licences or prudential measures as provided for in Article VII of the General Agreement on Trade in Services or its Annex on Financial Services.
The substantive provisions in other international investment or trade 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. However, measures applied pursuant to such provisions can constitute "treatment" as referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, and thus give rise to a breach of this Article.
Article ARTICLE 8.16
