Compensatory Measures. 1. A relevant authority may require a professional to be subject to compensatory measures where: (a) there exists a substantial difference between the professional's professional qualifications and the essential knowledge or skills required to practise the regulated profession in the host jurisdiction; or (b) the regulated profession in the host jurisdiction comprises one or more professional activities that cover substantially different matters from those covered by the professional's professional qualifications. 2. The relevant authority may decide between an adaptation period or an aptitude test. 3. To the extent possible and at the professional's request, relevant authorities shall provide their reasons for requiring that professional to undertake compensatory measures in writing. 4. Each Party shall ensure that, where a relevant authority requires the professional to take an aptitude test, that relevant authority schedules aptitude tests with reasonable frequency and at least once a year, where applicable.
