AdWords Professional For Non-U.S. Companies

The Google AdWords Professionals program is now available for non-U.S. companies.

GAP is a system whereby companies can sign up with accredited AdWords companies that manage their accounts. GAPs can manage multiple AdWords accounts from a single Client Center. Google has now expanded the program into Africa and Europe.

ThreadWatch is not entirely satisfied:

Now Google has extended the Company scheme to allow orgnaisations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa to become Adwords Qualified Companies – but for some reason has still excluded companies from Asia, South America and Australia (and Antartica) from participating. Which frankly, leaves me feeling a little bemused.

Why does Google see fit to offer this accreditation to companies based in Nigeria, Romania and the Palestinian Territory while denying it to firms in, say, Japan, Australia or French Polynesia? If you work at Google, please enlighten us.
