Arbitration
Article 7 provides, if necessary, for a conciliation procedure and provides for an arbitration procedure.
In the event of arbitration, the arbitration board shall be made up as follows:
- each Party with opposing interests (Variant: the presidents of the administrative courts with jurisdiction over each of the parties) shall designate a member of the arbitration board and the Parties shall jointly appoint one or two independent members so that there may be an odd number of members;
- where there is an even number of members of the arbitration board and the votes are tied, the independent member shall have a casting vote.
