71 Recognition of equivalent authorisations

(1) The regulations may recognise an equivalent authorisation as being equivalent to a type of permit under this Act and in any such case the equivalent authorisation is taken to be a permit of that type granted under this Act subject to—

(a) any conditions or limitations imposed on the equivalent authorisation under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was issued or conferred, and

(b) any conditions applying generally by or under this Act to permits of the type that the equivalent authorisation is taken to be.

(2) The regulations may make further provision for or with respect to the recognition of any such equivalent authorisation including (but not limited to) the duration of a permit that is taken to be in force because of this section and the variation, suspension or cancellation of any such permit.
