I have the honor to confirm the following understanding reached between
the delegations of the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States of
America in the course of negotiations regarding Article 15.11.28
(Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights) of the Free Trade
Agreement between our Governments signed this day:
-------
In meeting the obligations of Article 15.11.28 (ix), the United States
shall apply the pertinent provisions of its law1 and Morocco shall adopt
requirements for: (a) effective written notice to service providers with
respect to materials that are claimed to be infringing, and (b)
effective written counter-notification by those whose material is
removed or disabled and who claim that it was disabled through mistake
or misidentification, as set forth in this letter. Effective written
notice means notice that substantially complies with the elements listed
in section (a) of this letter, and effective written
counter-notification means counter-notification that substantially
