The phrase "For the purposes of this Section", clearly refers to Section 1 of Part B of Schedule 7. In this Section, the only reference to 'cross-country' is in relation to the privileges of the AFI Rating and the restrictions placed on the FI Rating. The experience requirements for the issue of licences and ratings do not appear in the ANO but in JAR-FCL and so it is the definition contained in the latter document that is relevant to the original question. In any case, this all becomes academic in a few months when, in relation to EASA licences at least, the provisions of current national legislation are over-ridden by EU law.
