The Committee had highlighted urgent concerns to LAM over
the draft MRA prepared and tabled by the Philippines at
the March ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Services (CCS)
Meeting in Vientiane, even after ad-hoc amendment.
. The Philippines document is entirely different from the
original version prepared and approved by LAM earlier, and
. The Philippines document is inconsistent to the principles
and recommended guidelines of the UIA Accord, especially
in relation to the .Practice in Host Nation and MRA".
The Committee shall continue to monitor the development
via the LAM International Affairs Committee,and recommend
adopting:
. The original LAM version as an "MOU on the Protocol
of Practice in Host Nation", or
. A "Letter of Intent on MRA", as recommended
by the UIA Accord.
Next AFAS CCS Meeting will be held in Brunei, on 11-14
