Minority foreign citizens possess veto rights over major corporate decisions concerning the corporation or association, or control other fundamental corporate actions, such as the exercise of buy-out clauses, which would jeopardize the corporation's or association's financial or operational ability to continue in business; 7. The corporation or association is a direct successor to a foreign entity and/or continues to do business as part of a system of foreign-controlled entities; and 8. Multiple and important links exist between the corporation or association and a foreign citizen(s). [...]" (GACA ECONOMIC REGULATIONS)
