1. Jobseekers from third countries who have benefitted from specific support within the framework of a Talent Partnership, a bilateral arrangement or a national framework on the development and validation of skills in a third country, may indicate this in their profiles. 2. For the purpose of paragraph 1 of this Article, a flag shall be developed within the IT Platform to be integrated in the profiles of jobseekers from third countries in accordance with Article 5(5) (the Flag). Jobseekers from third countries who indicate their participation in one of the Talent Partnerships, arrangements or frameworks referred to in paragraph 1, shall provide the following information in the Flag: (a) the name of the Talent Partnership, bilateral arrangement or national framework on the development and validation of skills in a third country; and (b) the details of any training followed in the context of point (a), including its subject-matter, duration and the type of skills developed, including relevant language skills. If available, documentation supporting the information provided may be attached to the profiles of registered jobseekers from third countries. Jobseekers from third countries may also indicate any other information considered relevant for the purpose of the recruitment. 3. The Flag shall be visible on the profiles of registered jobseekers from third countries in the IT Platform, shall specify that it is for information purposes only within the context of the EU Talent Pool and that it does not amount to the formal recognition or validation of skills and qualifications that the jobseeker from a third country may have developed through participation in the Talent Partnerships, arrangements or frameworks referred to in paragraph 1. The Flag is without prejudice to entry and residence rights. 4. A list of third countries and participating Member States taking part in a Talent Partnership shall be published on the IT Platform by the Secretariat. The Secretariat shall also publish on the IT Platform a list of bilateral arrangements and national frameworks on the development and validation of skills in third countries, including the third countries taking part in those arrangements and frameworks and information about specific support provided in those arrangements and frameworks, which participating Member States chose to link to the EU Talent Pool.
