bis. 1. The Schedules of Administrative and Procedural Provisions annexed to this Agreement may be amended in accordance with the following procedure:
bis. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement, and in particular Article 23, given the particular sensitivity of the agricultural market, if imports of products originating in one Party, which are the subject of concessions granted pursuant to Annex 3, cause serious disturbance to the markets or to their domestic regulatory mechanisms, in another Party, both Parties shall enter into consultations immediately to find an appropriate solution. Pending such solution, the Party concerned may take the appropriate measures it deems necessary.
bis. In furtherance of the efforts of the Parties to find an acceptable solution to the matters referred to in Article 20(2), the Party or Signatory CARIFORUM State against which a finding has been notified to the CARIFORUM-EC Trade and Development Committee may also seek recourse to a Mediator, in accordance with the provisions of Article 205(2)-205(5). The Mediator's opinion shall be notified within the period of three months referred to in Article 20(4)(b).
bis. Every financial institution must have a specialized unit for dealing with claims and complaints from users. Said unit shall abide by the following:
bis. After the analysis of alternative solutions for the use of OpenVirtex, which imposes the use of an additional and external software component between the Infrastructure Controller and the physical network, the design of the Virtual Infrastructure Manager software has changed in order to enable a better integration with OpenDaylight. In particular the Virtual Infrastructure Manager will be implemented as an extension of the Virtual Tenant Network (VTN) application, which is an OpenDaylight project, and will be improved to support the virtualization of optical switches. The main advantages of this choice are related to the simplification of the whole architecture, the more mature integration with Neutron and OpenStack that is offered by the VTN application and the fact that VTN supports both OpenFlow v1.0 and v1.3 through its integration with OpenDaylight. Both solutions would require the OCS extensions defined for the OpenFlow v1.0 in support of optical devices, but OpenVirtex would need additional extensions to support OpenFlow v1.3 to manage TUe’s electronic switches. This choice does not impact the specification of the north-bound APIs of the service that are documented above.
