it may be wise to check with the specific authority dealing with the labour issues in the FZ where you have been offered the possition

You are simply amazing, dbx! Sorry for the grey matter work-out. I think you have took me as far as I could have possibly gone on this matter and for that, I thank you. Looks like I'm not completely out of the woods yet - my fate shall lie in the following clause in Article 2, "The provisions ...
