- available in its own territory, and in the territories

- to enable business persons of the other Parties to
- become acquainted with them.
-
- 2. Subject to Annex 1604.2, each Party shall collect and

- person.

- existing immigration measures applicable to temporary entry. A
- Party may require that such business person shall have been
- employed continuously by such enterprise for one year within the
- three-year period immediately preceding the date of the
- application for admission.
-
- 2. No Party shall:
-

- annual numerical limit, which shall be set out in Schedule III,
- regarding temporary entry of business persons of another Party
- seeking to engage in business activities at a professional level

- pursuant to paragraph 1.
-
