Dear Minister

In connection with the signing on this date of the Peru-Australia Free Trade Agreement (PAFTA), I have the honour to confirm the following understanding reached between the Government of Australia and the Government of Peru during the course of the negotiation of Chapter Eight (Investment), Chapter Nine (Cross-Border Trade in Services) and Chapter Ten (Financial Services):

In the interests of greater transparency, this is to notify the Government of Peru that upon the entry into force of PAFTA, the Government of Australia will initiate a review of the existing non-conforming measures at the regional level of government in relation to Annex I - Investment and Cross-Border Trade in Services and Annex III - Financial Services of PAFTA. The Government of Australia will inform the Government of Peru of the results of this review, including a list of individual non-conforming measures at the regional level of government, within 12 months of the date of entry into force of PAFTA.

I look forward to your letter in reply confirming that your Government shares this understanding.

Yours sincerely

Steven Ciobo
