Annex 519.1: Party-Specific Exceptions

Schedule of British Columbia

Procurement Exceptions

  1. Subject to paragraph 2, if a Party has set out a procurement exception in its Schedule to this Annex, that same procurement exception shall apply to that Party and its suppliers with respect to any procurement of British Columbia and its procuring entities. For greater certainty, if a Party has named an entity in its exception, this includes a comparable entity of British Columbia or, if there is no comparable entity, an entity of British Columbia engaged in comparable functions.
  2. Paragraph 1 only applies to a procurement exception set out by a Party in its Schedule to this Annex if British Columbia has provided written notice to that Party, through the Secretariat, that paragraph 1 will apply to that exception.
  3. Paragraph 1 does not apply to any measure listed as a procurement exception in Article 519.5 as it exists on the effective date, but does apply to any amendment to any such measure that decreases the conformity of the measure with this Agreement, as the measure existed immediately before the amendment. For greater certainty, in the previous sentence, “any amendment to any such measure” includes any successor measure or any amendment to a successor measure.
