CAFTA - More than Textiles

While the News and Record continues to play CAFTA as a debate over the fate of North Carolina's textile industry, here is a quote from ANNEX I of the agreement covering Costa Rica's exemptions. Ya think this might be about more than textiles ?

Annex I - Costa Rica

Cross-Border Services and Investment

To join the Professional Associations of Public Accountants,
Pharmacists, Geologists, Physicians and Surgeons, Veterinarians,
Lawyers (i.e., Notaries), Dental Surgeons, Optometrists,
Journalists, Nurses, Medical and Surgical Technicians and Medical
Sciences Branches, all foreign professionals must prove that, in
their home jurisdiction where they are allowed to practice, Costa
Rican nationals can exercise their profession under like
circumstances.

Editor's note: I wonder if you can blog in Costa Rica if you do not belong to their professional association of journalists.
