The protection granted to performers by this Act shall be extended automatically in respect of performances—

in a country which is a member of the World Trade Organization: Provided that the right conferred on performers in section 5(1)(b) shall, in the case of performances in the Republic, but emanating from a country which is a member of the World Trade Organization, only be granted to them to the extent that performances emanating from the Republic enjoy corresponding protection in that country, and such performances of foreign origin shall not enjoy any wider protection in the Republic than is enjoyed in that country by performances emanating from the Republic.
