The terms “Designated country end product,” “nondesignated country end product,” “qualifying country end product,” “South Caucasus/Central and South Asian (SC/CASA) state,” “South Caucasus/Central and South Asian (SC/CASA) state end product,” and “U.S.-made end product” as used in this provision have the meanings given in DFARS 252.225-7021 Trade Agreements and its Alternate

Тут нет, конечно, речи о "назначенной стране". Речь идет о стране, включенной в определенный перечень. Конечно, такой перевод мне не нравится.

Если поразмыслить, то упоминание WTO GPA country, FTA country и least developed country заставляет думать, что речь идет о странах - получателях торговых преференций. (Про Caribbean Basin country я просто не в курсе. Может быть, стран Карибского моря тоже касается.)

это термин, а не протсо словосочетание, поэтому сначала нужно попробовать найти определение

и вот:

"Designated Countries are those countries deemed to have robust environmental and social governance, legislation systems and institutional capacity designed to protect their people and the natural environment. The Equator Principles Association makes no independent assessment of each country’s performance in these areas. As a proxy for such an assessment, the Equator Principles Association requires that a country must be both a member of the OECD and appear on the World Bank High Income Country list to qualify as a Designated Country. These data sets are reviewed quarterly by the Equator Principles Secretariat to ensure that any change in status is reflected in the Designated Countries list."

в отчете МАР есть "страны, соответствующие критериям кредитования МАР" - см. стр. 7

и еще можно посмотреть на сайтах Ассоциации экваториальных принципов - м.б. там что-то есть

*с примпером, что такое список избранных стран - см. выше:

"that a country must be both a member of the OECD and appear on the World Bank High Income Country list to qualify as a Designated Country."

Иными словами, прилагаемое designated в общем случае означает всего лишь включенность в список (соответствие критериям). А уж какой список и какие критерии, в каждом случае надо выяснять отдельно.

и опять же согласна, кроме того ведь есть еще qualifying country end product - которые я как раз перевожу как "соответствующие/отвечающие критериям". А "включенные в список" сразу вызывает вопрос - а что за список и где он...хотя в общем и "избранные" вызывает такой же вопрос. Незадача в общем...

TRADE AGREEMENTS (NOV 2014) (Applies if the Work contains other than U.S.-made, qualifying country, or designated country end products. Applies in lieu of FAR 52.225-5.) All Suppliers

Этот пример, кстати, заставляет задуматься, как соотносятся qualifying country и designated country.

Trade agreements. Basic.

As prescribed in 225.1101(6) and (6)(i), use the following clause: Trade Agreements - Basic (SEP 2019)
