NOTE TO THE SCHEDULE
Where road, rail, inland waterways and related auxiliary services are not otherwise fully covered in
this schedule, a multimodal transport operator shall have the ability to rent or lease trucks, railway
carriages or barges, and related equipment, for the purpose of inland forwarding of cargoes, or have
access to, and use of, these forms of multimodal activities on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms
and conditions for the purpose of carrying out multimodal transport operations. "Reasonable and non-
discriminatory terms and conditions" means, for the purpose of multimodal transport operations the
ability of the multimodal transport operator to arrange for the conveyance of its merchandise on a
timely basis, including priority over other merchandise which has entered the port at a later date.
DEFINITIONS OF MARITIME AUXILIARY SERVICES
1. Without prejudice to the scope of activities which may be considered as "cabotage" under the
relevant national legislation, this schedule does not include "maritime cabotage services",
which are assumed to cover transportation of passengers or goods between a port located in
Ukraine and another port located in Ukraine and traffic originating and terminating in the
same port located in Ukraine provided that this traffic remains within Ukraine's territorial
waters.
2. "Other forms of commercial presence for the supply of international maritime transport
services" means the ability for international maritime transport service suppliers of other
Members to undertake locally all activities which are necessary for the supply to their
customers of a partially or fully integrated transport service, within which the maritime
transport constitutes a substantial element. (This commitment shall however not be construed
as limiting in any manner the commitments undertaken under the cross-border mode of
delivery).
These activities include, but are not limited to:
(a) marketing and sales of maritime transport and related services through direct contact
with customers, from quotation to invoicing, these services being those operated or
offered by the service supplier itself or by service suppliers with which the service
seller has established standing business arrangements;
(b) the acquisition, on their own account or on behalf of their customers (and the resale to
their customers) of any transport and related services, including inward transport
services by any mode, particularly inland waterways, road and rail, necessary for the
supply of the integrated services;
(c) the preparation of documentation concerning transport documents, customs
documents, or other documents related to the origin and character of the goods
transported;
(d) the provision of business information by any means, including computerised
information systems and electronic data interchange (subject to the provisions of the
annex on telecommunications);
(e) the setting up of any business arrangements (including participation in the stock of a
company) and the appointment of personnel recruited locally (or, in the case of
foreign personnel, subject to the horizontal commitment on movement of personnel)
with any locally established shipping agency; and
GATS/SC/144
Page 38
(f) acting on behalf of the companies, organising the call of the ship or taking over
cargoes when required.
3. "Multimodal transport operator" means the person on whose behalf the bill of
lading/multimodal transport document, or any other document evidencing a contract of
multimodal carriage of goods, is issued and who is responsible for the carriage of goods
pursuant to the contract of carriage.
4. "Maritime cargo handing services" means activities exercised by stevedore companies,

including terminal operators, but not including the direct activities of dockers, when this
workforce is organised independently of the stevedoring or terminal operator companies. The
activities covered include the organisation and supervision of :
- the loading/discharging of cargo to/from a ship;

- the lashing/unlashing of cargo; and
- the reception/delivery and safekeeping of cargoes before shipment or after discharge.
5. "Customs clearance services" (alternatively "customs house brokers' services") means

activities consisting in carrying out on behalf of another party customs formalities concerning
import, export or through transport of cargoes, whether this service is the main activity of the
service provider or a usual complement of its main activity.
6. "Container station and depot services" means activities consisting in storing containers,
whether in port areas or inland, with a view to their stuffing/stripping, repairing and making
them available for shipments.
7. "Maritime agency services" means activities consisting in representing, within a given

geographic area, as an agent the business interests of one or more shipping lines or shipping
companies, for the following purposes:
- marketing and sales of maritime transport and related services, from quotation to
invoicing, and issuance of bills of lading on behalf of the companies, acquisition and
resale of the necessary related services, preparation of documentation, and provision
of business information; and
- acting on behalf of the companies organising the call of the ship or taking over
cargoes when required.
8. "Freight forwarding services" means (the activity consisting of organising and monitoring
shipment operations on behalf of shippers, through the acquisition of transport and related
services, preparation of documentation and provision of business information).

REFERENCE PAPER
Scope
The following are definitions and principles on the regulatory framework for the basic
telecommunications services.
Definitions
Users mean service consumers and service suppliers.
Essential facilities mean facilities of a public telecommunications transport network or service that
(a) are exclusively or predominantly provided by a single or limited number of suppliers;

and
(b) cannot feasibly be economically or technically substituted in order to provide a service.
A major supplier is a supplier which has the ability to materially affect the terms of participation (having
regard to price and supply) in the relevant market for basic telecommunications services as a result of:
(a) control over essential facilities; or

(b) use of its position in the market.
1. Competitive safeguards
1.1 Prevention of anti-competitive practices in telecommunications
Appropriate measures shall be maintained for the purpose of preventing suppliers who, alone or
together, are a major supplier from engaging in or continuing anti-competitive practices.
1.2 Safeguards
The anti-competitive practices referred to above shall include in particular:
(a) engaging in anti-competitive cross-subsidization;

(b) using information obtained from competitors with anti-competitive results; and
(c) not making available to other services suppliers on a timely basis technical information
about essential facilities and commercially relevant information which are necessary for
them to provide services.
2. Interconnection
2.1 This section applies to linking with suppliers providing public telecommunications transport
networks or services in order to allow the users of one supplier to communicate with users of
another supplier and to access services provided by another supplier, where specific
commitments are undertaken.
2.2 Interconnection to be ensured
Interconnection with a major supplier will be ensured at any technically feasible point in the
network. Such interconnection is provided.
(a) under non-discriminatory terms, conditions (including technical standards and

specifications) and rates and of a quality no less favourable than that provided for its
GATS/SC/144
Page 40
own like services or for like services of non-affiliated service suppliers or for its
subsidiaries or other affiliates;
(b) in a timely fashion, on terms, conditions (including technical standards and
specifications) and cost-oriented rates that are transparent, reasonable, having regard to
economic feasibility, and sufficiently unbundled so that the supplier need not pay for
network components or facilities that it does not require for the service to be provided;
and
(c) upon request, at points in addition to the network termination points offered to the
majority of users, subject to charges that reflect the cost of construction of necessary
additional facilities.
2.3 Public availability of the procedures for interconnection negotiations
The procedures applicable for interconnection to a major supplier will be made publicly
available.
2.4 Transparency of interconnection arrangements
It is ensured that a major supplier will make publicly available either its interconnection
agreements or a reference interconnection offer.
2.5 Interconnection: dispute settlement
A service supplier requesting interconnection with a major supplier will have recourse, either:
(a) at any time; or

(b) after a reasonable period of time which has been made publicly known
to an independent domestic body, which may be a regulatory body as referred to in paragraph 5

below, to resolve disputes regarding appropriate terms, conditions and rates for interconnection
within a reasonable period of time, to the extent that these have not been established previously.
3. Universal service
Any Member has the right to define the kind of universal service obligation it wishes to
maintain. Such obligations will not be regarded as anti-competitive per se, provided they are
administered in a transparent, non-discriminatory and competitively neutral manner and are not
more burdensome than necessary for the kind of universal service defined by the Member.
4. Public availability of licensing criteria
Where a licence is required, the following will be made publicly available:
(a) all the licensing criteria and the period of time normally required to reach a decision
concerning an application for a licence; and
(b) the terms and conditions of individual licences.
The reasons for the denial of a licence will be made known to the applicant upon request.
5. Independent regulators
The regulatory body is separate from, and not accountable to, any supplier of basic
telecommunications services. The decisions of and the procedures used by regulators shall be
impartial with respect to all market participants.
GATS/SC/144
Page 41
6. Allocation and use of scarce resources
Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce resources, including frequencies, numbers
and rights of way, will be carried out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory
manner. The current state of allocated frequency bands will be made publicly available, but
detailed identification of frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.
